Growing up, I always wanted to save or invest for my future. I work hard to live the life I do, but I knew I needed to think ahead for my family and kids.” Tshepo's favourite investments? “My Standard Bank and Stanlib shares. They’ve been great,” he shares with pride. But he didn’t stop there. About two or three years ago, he ventured into [EasyProperties](https://properties.easyequities.co.za/what-is-easyproperties), recognizing the potential of property as a valuable addition to his portfolio. “Like they say, ‘knowledge is power,’ and understanding the value of property investments has been key for me.” **Life at Orlando Towers Estates** Tshepo moved into Orlando Towers Estates a year ago and describes the experience as transformative. “It’s been amazing - peaceful and truly feels like home. I’ve met wonderful neighbours and found personal space that gives me peace of mind. Plus, the location is incredibly convenient with malls, hospitals, universities, and sports centres all nearby,” he says. Before moving to Orlando Towers Estates, Tshepo lived at his grandmother’s family home, about 12km away. While that home holds cherished memories, Orlando Towers has given him a modern and secure living experience that he really appreciates. **On Investing in Township Property** Tshepo is a big advocate for investing in [township property](https://properties.easyequities.co.za/debunking-common-myths-about-township-property). “Townships like Soweto are the foundation of so much - history, culture, and now, modern development. Soweto has grown significantly over the years, and Orlando Towers Estates is a perfect example of that. It’s historically rich, child-friendly, secure, and modern. Why wouldn’t you [invest here](https://platform.easyproperties.co.za/properties/property/51)?” **A Solid Investment for the Future** For Tshepo, investing in property is a no-brainer. “It’s my kids’ future. Property is an appreciating asset, and it comes with a lifestyle and peace of mind that’s hard to beat,” he explains. “Expanding your portfolio is crucial - don’t put all your eggs in one basket. Diversify, learn, and grow.” **Consider Orlando Towers Estates** Tshepo’s story is an inspiring reminder of how investing can transform lives. By making Orlando Towers Estates your next investment, you’re not just buying property; you’re investing in a thriving community, modern living, and a piece of history.

All trades on the EasyProperties platform are subject to the legal terms and conditions to which you agree to be bound. The EasyProperties platform enables users to invest in securities which includes whole shares and fractional share rights (FSRs). EasyProperties acts an agent for the issue of whole shares, where the investor is the registered owner of those shares, entitled to dividends, participation in corporate actions and all the economic benefits and risks associated with share ownership. In respect of FSRs, EasyEquities acts as principal to a contract for difference issued to the investor, where the investor will have a contractual claim against EasyEquities to the economic benefits and risks associated with share ownership (price movements and dividends) without having ownership rights in the underlying share. Fractional share rights (FSRs) which are issued through a contract for difference, are an over the counter derivative. Unlike whole shares, FSRs do not carry any voting rights. As the investor makes further investments in FSRs and ultimately ends up with a whole share, the contract for difference is closed out and ownership whole share is delivered to the investor. The availability of any share on the EasyProperties platform is based on various factors but is not an indication of value and does not mean that any share is an appropriate investment for you. The value of a share is not guaranteed. The value can go down as well as up due to variable market factors. An investor may not recoup the full amount invested. Past performance is not necessarily an indication of future performance.
