If you aren’t sold on why you should have real estate in your investment portfolio, maybe I can share with you 13 more reasons why you should consider it.
I am not stocks and bonds guy. I don’t believe in giving money to companies that I don’t believe in. I also don’t want to invest in companies that don’t align with my values. Lastly, I want control over my investments. Real estate provides me the security of knowing where my money is invested, who is managing it, cash flow today, and lastly it is providing a service that people need.
- Potential for passive income: Rentals can generate consistent cash flow.
- Appreciation: Real estate has historically appreciated over time, leading to capital gains.
- Tax benefits: Real estate investors can take advantage of tax deductions, such as depreciation.
- Diversification: Adding real estate to a portfolio can help spread risk and reduce volatility. The only diversification I believe in when it comes to investing is invest in different types of real estate.
- Tangible asset: Real estate is a physical asset with value, as opposed to stocks or bonds.
- Inflation hedge: Real estate values can increase with inflation, providing a hedge against its impact.
- Leverage: Real estate can be purchased with a mortgage, enabling investors to control more assets with less money.
- Relatively low volatility: Real estate markets tend to experience less rapid price swings compared to stock markets.
- Potential for rental income growth: As rental prices increase, rental income can also increase.
- Long-term investment: Real estate is a long-term investment that can provide stability and growth over time.
- Housing shortages: There is a need for more affordable housing than ever before.
- Innate need: Housing is an innate need for everyone. The virtual world will never replace real assets and real housing. People are real and need a place to live.
- Build wealth: All of the above reasons help you build wealth over time through appreciation, cash flow, and debt pay down.
