Buying leaseholds as investments?
I wanted to start a discussion on leasehold properties versus freeholds. My knowledge on them is quite limited so I'm not familiar with the ins and outs or the strategies that they could use. Does anyone have any experience buying leaseholds as investments? Are you looking for anything different compared to freeholds or are you using a different strategy for them?
Leaseholds are typically cheaper then freeholds. There's a much lower cost of entry to get into a market if you buy leaseholds. Would you recommend buying them?
