Appreciation

Appreciation is the increase in your property’s value over time. History has proven that over an extended period of time, the value of real estate continues to rise. That doesn’t mean recessions won’t occur. The real estate market is cyclical, and market ups and downs are natural. However, in the vast majority of markets, the value of real estate does grow over the long term.

Hedge Against Inflation

Inflation is the rate at which the general cost of goods and services rises. As inflation rises, prices go up. So the money you have in your bank account is essentially worth less because your purchasing power has decreased. Luckily, real estate prices also rise when inflation increases. That means any money you have invested in real estate will rise with (or often exceed) the rate of inflation.

Cashflow

One of the big benefits of investing in real estate over the stock market is its ability to provide a monthly cash flow. If you choose to rent out your investment property to a tenant, you can expect to receive a rent payment each month. If you’ve invested wisely, the rent should cover your debt (i.e. mortgage payment), as well as any repairs and maintenance that are needed. Ideally, you will have some additional cash left over each month to supplement your income.

Leverage

Leverage is the use of borrowed capital to increase the potential return of an investment. That means you can put a small amount down, take out a mortgage to finance the remainder of your investment, and profit on the entire combined value. That’s the power of leverage!

Tax Advantages

One of the top reasons to invest in real estate is the tax benefit. There are many ways a real estate investment can save you money each year on taxes. Be sure to consult a tax professional, but if structured correctly, the profits you earn on your real estate investments can be largely shielded from liability. Just another reason to choose real estate as your preferred investment vehicle

There are numerous ways to invest in real estate, here are the top two methods we’ve helped our clients use to start making money as investors:

Flipping Properties

Commonly referred to as a “Fix and Flip,”
investors purchase a property with the intention of remodeling it in a short period of time, with the hope of selling it quickly for a profit. Investors need to understand the risks involved and be prepared financially to cover additional expenses that may arise.

Income Properties

One of the more conservative choices for investing in real estate is to purchase a rental property. The appeal of a rental property is that you can generate cash flow to cover the expenses, while taking advantage of the property’s long-term appreciation in value, and the tax benefits of investing in real estate. It’s a win-win, and a great way for first-time investors to get started.
