Benefits Of Buying Real Estate

Reasons For Buying Real Estate
There are many reasons why someone would want to invest in rental property, below are a list of the most popular reasons.

1. Passive Income - You can make passive income every month if you use a property manager to manage your properties. There is no greater feeling than getting nice sized checks in the mail every month without doing anything.

2. Capital Appreciation - Real estate investors have the advantage of their properties appreciating without paying taxes on them until they sell them. This is a great way to accumulate real wealth.

3. Retirement - With most retirement plans investing in stocks it’s a good idea to diversify your retirement assets with real estate. Normally stocks and real estate move in opposite directions so owning real estate is a great way to reduce risks in your portfolio.

4. College - Since college costs are rising so rapidly many parents can’t save enough money to fully fund their children's education. Smart parents look to real estate investing as a way to be able to fund their children's education.

5. Wealth Accumulation - Most of the wealthy have became millionaires through their investments in real estate. Creating wealth through real estate has worked for investors in the past and it should continue to work in the future.

6. Investment Diversification - Whether you invest in stocks, own a business, or are just looking to make more money, owning investment real estate is a great way to diversify your investment portfolio.

Benefits Of Real Estate
1. Tax Write Offs - One of the major benefits to investing in real estate are the tax writeoffs that are allowed. This is the one of the few investment that allows such tax savings.

2. Income - As long as your real estate is managed well the rental income will allow you to invest in more properties if that is your goal. Once you have the property on auto mode it’s the easiest passive income you will ever get.

3. Capital Appreciation - As mentioned earlier your real estate should increase over time. If you ride out the ups and downs in the real estate market you normally will come out ahead.

4. Wealth Accumulation - If your not good at forced savings your real estate mortgage will force you into saving. While your paying your investment property mortgage you will be building up your wealth.

5. Assets - A great benefit of owning real estate is the effect it has on your balance sheet. Banks love to see real estate on a loan application and love to make loans using it as an collateral. If you ever find yourself in a financial bind it’s nice to know that you can use the property as collateral for a loan.

6. Increase Credit - Since banks like to see real estate ownership it increases your credit worthiness and will cause your credit score to increase as long as your making your mortgage payment on time.

7. Status - As a real estate investor and landlord you will gain social status in your community. If you have never owned investment property you would be shocked at how much more influence and respect you will get from other people in your community.

8. Management Experience - If you have never actively been in charge of a business you will learn a lot of people skills that many people don’t have. This is important since you will not only become a more well rounded person but you can list the experience on your resume.

As you can see there are many benefits to owning real estate and many of them are not just financial.
