Real estate values tend to increase over time, making it a great investment. Whether you are just looking to buy your first home or looking to diversify your investment options, real estate has been shown to be a great option and a dependable growth driver.
Homebuyers in Orange County have seen their home values increase almost $500K (up 89%) on average over a span only of 9 years.
Consistency in growth and less volatility when compared to investing in the stock market make real estate attractive for many investors.
Real estate values tend to increase over time, while mortgages generally tend to be fixed. With a good investment, you can turn a significant profit when it’s time to sell.
For many investors, the ability to create consistent cash flow is one of the most attractive aspects of real estate investing. In many cases, cash flow only strengthens over time as you pay down your mortgage—and build up your equity.
As you build equity, you have the leverage to buy more properties and increase cash flow even more through financing options while your tenants continue to pay down your leveraged debt.
Real estate ownership is also a hedge against inflation as home values and rents typically increase with inflation. While inflation makes everything more expensive, your increasing property value provides protection and even allows you to make money!
The prices of stocks can move up and down much faster than real estate prices. Real estate has a low correlation with other major asset classes. This means the addition of real estate to a portfolio of diversified assets can lower portfolio volatility and provide a higher return per unit of risk.
You can invest in a new property with a 20% down payment or less and finance the rest of the property’s cost as a mortgage. Financing is readily available since real estate is a tangible asset and one that can serve as collateral.
Real estate investors can take advantage of numerous tax breaks and deductions that can save money at tax time. In general, you can deduct the reasonable costs of owning, operating, and managing a property.
Current federal and state laws allow your property to be passed on to your heirs at very favorable legal & tax terms which will be a blessing to them. Think about the legacy you could leave behind with real estate investing.
Unlike stock market-driven wealth which can disappear in an instant, a paid-off mortgage means you will own a physical asset whose net worth will be equal to the value of the property which will more likely continue to go up.
Whether you are a high-risk-taker or play things conservatively, it is reassuring to know that your property is something you can fall back on in tough times.
