Real estate has created more self made millionaires than literally any other investment available in today's society. Whether you are looking to purchase rental properties, or you are looking to rehab properties for quick profit - real estate investing can put profit in your pocket. With the decline of mutual funds and constant fluctuation in the stock market, it is more apparent now than ever that real estate is a much more desired investment. There are several reasons why investment properties are the best investment out there. Above Average Returns - When compared to stocks, bonds, and money market accounts, real estate is by far the most profitable investment. What kind of return is 2% - 7% (not a very good one). With real estate you can invest a small amount of your own capital while reaping large rewards. Equity - Equity is the difference between what you owe on a property and what the property is worth. Equity may be accessed when you sell a property or when you refinance the property. It may be used to pay off higher interest loans, to reinvest, or any other reason you see fit. Instant Equity - If you buy the right property for the right price you should have equity the day you buy it. Equity Buildup - Over time real estate goes up in value. In recent years the value of real estate has increased at dramatic rates. Buy a property low today and receive equity through time. Cash Flow - If you are purchasing a rental property one of the major considerations you must take into account is the amount of cash flow this property generates. This is the difference between how much this property brings in each month and the amount of money the property costs you per month to own and operate. A good rental will pay for itself while putting extra cash into the owners pocket each month. Tax Reasons - Real estate provides many tax benefits that include tax write offs, business expenses, value appreciation, tax depreciation, tax shelters, IRA benefits, tax exchanges, etc... Consult an experienced real estate tax accountant to see what benefits you can take advantage of. Do you need a Property Manager? Ask yourself the following questions;
