INVESTING IN THE RIGHT PROPERTY CAN HELP YOU MEET YOUR FINANCIAL GOALS. WHETHER YOU'RE LOOKING TO INVEST IN STUDENT HOUSING OR COMMERCIAL UNITS, I CAN HELP YOU ANALYZE THE PROPERTY TO SEE IF IT'S RIGHT FOR YOUR PORTFOLIO. HERE ARE SOME REASONS WHY REAL ESTATE CAN BE A GREAT INVESTMENT:
Banks are willing to loan money against the value of your investment. Although there are some added risks to investing with borrowed money, with the right property, the return on investment can be huge.
You determine which strategy works best with your portfolio and your tolerance for risk. Some people choose to invest in properties that can be "flipped" in a short period of time, whereas others prefer to "buy and hold" properties for a number of years or even decades.
The right property combined with the right terms can provide you with cash flow now or in the future.
It can supplement your retirement funds by providing a steady monthly income stream.
MY TAKE ON INVESTING IN REAL ESTATE:
I personally believe that investing in real estate is like owning your own business. If you buy the right property, it is possible to have the rent pay for all your carrying costs. Equity is being earned not only from the rent repaying the mortgage, but also from appreciation in the housing market. While it may be unrealistic to expect the same sort of appreciation we have seen in the early 2000's, over time real estate values tend to rise at a steady pace. As with all investments and ownership of any business, there are risks involved. These risks, however, can be minimized by performing the right background research before making your purchase.
