AI summary

Investing is using money to buy an asset that will increase in value over time. The primary goal is to maximise your return while minimising risk. Property is considered a mid-range asset class, balancing risk and potential returns compared to stocks or cash.

A core principle for beginners is that “time in the market is better than timing the market.” This suggests investing as soon as you are able is more effective than waiting for a perfect opportunity that may never come.
