The short answer is yes.\u00a0\u00a0A recent analysis of Australian Taxation Office figures has revealed women are proving more adept at investing in real estate<\/a> over the long term.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In fact, about 47% of all investment properties in Australia are now owned by women.<\/p>\n

Women are also earning better interest on their investments by 0.4% and have done so for the last decade.<\/span><\/p>\n

For women like successful property investor Carla Barton, buying and selling real estate properties is a way to achieve financial independence and security.<\/p>\n

So what can we learn from these savvy female investors?<\/p>\n

Barton shares her tips for those looking to invest in real estate<\/a>.<\/p>\n

What makes women better property investors?<\/h2>\n

Female investors tend to be more risk-averse than men and more disciplined when it comes to saving.<\/p>\n

Susan Farquhar, managing director of Sydney-based Calla Property, says that women do their homework and are more inclined to seek out experts and professional guidance than men when it comes to property investment.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s more worth it to ask and follow advice first rather than make impulsive and uninformed decisions which can lead<\/a> to mistakes,\u201d she said.<\/span><\/p>\n

Women are also prepared to\u00a0<\/span>commit long-term and tend to invest with future goals and security in mind, both for themselves and their families.<\/p>\n

\u201cMen tend to have higher turnover from their property portfolio, meaning they incur extra costs and have a higher chance of buying and selling at the wrong times because they are chasing returns,\u201d says\u00a0Farquhar.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWomen want to focus on life priorities, such as saving and investing for retirement or their child\u2019s college fund, not on outsmarting the market,\u201d she adds.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

How Carla\u2019s love of interiors helped her invest in property<\/h2>\n

Sydney investor Carla Barton, who began her career in real estate before studying interior design<\/a>, shares how she makes investing in property<\/a> work for her.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy biggest influence was my mother,\u201d says Carla. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI grew up around renovating from a young age as my mother ran her interior design company from home.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Barton bought\u00a0her very first renovation project in late 2014<\/span>\u00a0in Sydney\u2019s inner west.<\/span><\/p>\n

She knew the area like the back of her hand and knew there was a huge demand for property so close to the CBD.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cMy first property was a deceased estate, a two-bedroom apartment in Dulwich Hill in Sydney, which was on a main road with no parking. I bought it for $505k in 2014, renovated and sold it in 2015 for $640k.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI knew I just had to get my foot in the door and that the suburbs of Sydney\u2019s inner west were in a great growth area.\u201d<\/p>\n

It hasn\u2019t all been plain sailing though. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI had a difficult moment when my pre-approval from a major bank didn\u2019t materialise into an actual approval.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cHaving to shift to another bank two days before settlement was one of the most stressful moments of my property career,\u201d she admits.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It wasn\u2019t until Carla had nailed her third renovation project that she considered herself as a property investor, though it\u2019s something she does in addition to her job as a senior interior designer.<\/p>\n

Now she\u2019s well and truly on the property ladder and keen to embark on another project.<\/p>\n

\u201cRenovating for profit is highly addictive and after the first flip I knew I was hooked!\u201d, she says.<\/p>\n

Carla\u2019s top investing tips<\/span><\/h2>\n

1. First off, try and pay off any debt. This will increase your loan<\/a> capacity. Then choose which area you want to invest in and start researching property prices to determine the deposit you will need so that you can set your savings goals.<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Buy in areas you know well.<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Build a trusted team of professional property service providers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

4. Renovate and buy for how you would want to live \u2013 for example, if you think it\u2019s a pain walking outside to use a shared laundry, then the buyer will, too. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

5. Remember it\u2019s a business \u2013 do your due diligence and crunch your numbers. You should know your expected profit before you make the purchase.<\/span><\/p>\n

6. Joint Ventures \u2013 a great way to learn off seasoned investors and get your hands on a larger project with little or no deposit.<\/span><\/p>\n
