Building a pension through property

Are you worried about your pension provision, either because your savings and pension investments are not working out, or because you don’t have a pension at all? You are not alone. According to a recent Prudential pensions survey, 3 in 5 people said they need to continue working after retirement age because their pension wasn’t enough.

Is there another way? There is according to Rod Thomas at Axis Property Investment, who has developed a new workshop and guide entitled How To Build Your Pension Through Property. Rod’s latest book, The Freedom Plan, includes both the pension through property system and the SystemZERO philosophy of investing and is due for publication early 2011.

Rod says: “The secret of all success lies in making the right decisions and taking the right actions. Ignoring the issue does not make it go away. First we need to educate ourselves and assess our options. Then we act. In my view, the best option is to invest in property. That’s why I have developed How To Build Your Pension Through Property.”
How To Build Your Pension Through Property covers a number of crucial areas, including:

• Why existing pensions are doomed.
• How backing your future pension with share investments is a high risk strategy, with no guarantee to deliver what you need.
• Why even with allowing for tax relief on pension contributions you are still not doing the best with your money.
• Why investment in property can deliver an outstanding return that dwarfs the growth in your traditional pension capital value.
• How property can deliver true financial security – even if you have little money and little time.
• The three life stages of an investor and how they relate to property and pensions.
• The five key issues you must deal with to make the right property decisions.
• The three critical elements of leverage, velocity and making ‘front end’ profit that are essential to the success of your property pension strategy.

Rod’s first dedicated How To Build Your Pension Through Property workshop will be held at the exclusive Eight Club, London, on 28th October 2010.

Rod explains: “Investment has to be a careful strategy that will meet a number of important considerations. You can work with existing assets, either cash or property. You should take into account the years to retirement - the more the better. Ensure a low risk approach if investing later in life. Consider the balance between capital growth now and income flow later.”

He concludes: “My workshop and guide will help you understand all of these issues and Axis is here to assist you in taking action. We have strategies with the potential to deliver exceptional returns in a period from less than one year, up to twenty years.”
