    Best short-term investment

    I have been Trading Live on the financial Markets for over 15 years, and there is no other way to generate growth on your money. I dont use banks, as you pay more on admin fees etc, as to I have 24hr access to my money. That is my view if you what to know more contact me, I do work at a Capital Investment Company.

    Totally agree. Short term rentals promise you decent returns - about 5-7% yields. Hiring a management company helps to avoid problems with finding new tenants. Its service costs 20−25% of the total rental revenue but the expenses will be rewarded with higher occupancy rates. The best option is a one-bedroom apartment somewhere in the city center popular with tourists.

    The best place to park your surplus money is in your bond. Arrange with your bank for a access bond and dump all the extra cash into your bond. This way you reduce the interest that you have to repay and there is no tax payable to SARS.

    Hi, I own properties and am fortunate enough not to have a bond.
    I have proceeds of a sale sitting in a trust account with my attorneys. I earn 6% and they charge 10% of that 6%.
    It was always intended as a short term solution but it has been 18 months now.
    I’ve been looking for an additional investment property for the past 12 months but haven’t found what I’m looking for. Hence needing immediate access to my funds.
    Any suggestions?

    Hi Beancounter

    Following the recent Viceroy attack on Capitec, I withdrew 50% of my cash from Capitec and have been advised to consider the Allan Gray Money Market Fund.

    Check it out and ask around.

    Good thread to read regarding ETFs (especially to limit overexposure making your losses during a Steinhoff, Capitec scenario a little lower.)
