Can I move into my investment property when I retire?
The simple answer to this question is that your investment property belongs to you and you can do what you want with it as you can with your own home. There are people who buy property investments with an aim to move in themselves at some stage although this is NOT a strategy we would encourage. Your future dream property may not necessarily be a good investment and trying to kill two birds with one stone (buy a great investment and a dream home for the future) is often a very risky strategy.
Always, it is best to invest in an area with the highest possible potential growth. Specifically we are investing to make money! Seldom do we find that the dream future property has all the attributes of a great investment. Of course by sticking to buying great investment property, you will soon have the funds to buy that dream property to live in! Lime can always advise about whether the area where you want to live in the future is an area of solid capital growth and the type of property in the area that is most likely to make the best property investment choice.
