Why Invest into Real Estate

By Dmitry Vasenyov


Nowadays real estate is a popular investment option and so there are some simple basics to help you lead you to a decision.

Primarily, when you invest your money into real estate it is necessary to be patient. If the patience is not one of your strengths, then for you it is much better to invest into something others. Buying real estate requires more commitment compared to purchasing stocks. In the case of real estate investing you are purchasing real property, but not a small share of a company and this is the main difference between these two types of investing. It is not a secret that stock requires little if any maintenance, while in the case of investing into real estate a lot of time has to be spend finding, purchasing and maintaining the property.

When you own the property, you need to bear in mind that if it is a rental, then more costs have to be involved. Even if you are earning money off the rental, it is necessary to invest the time and money into tenants, maintenance, contractors, taxes and many others. Monetary and time investments required are really high. At the same time, investing into real estate could be rewarding. You need to know that these rewards come in the form of tax breaks and the profit from the sale of the property.

Aside from this, there is a need to mention that real estate is more stable than the stock market. Besides, the real estate could make you a significant amount of money off your initial investment due to the housing leverage. Even a small increase in the property value may lead you to a large return on your initial investment.

Remember that the tax breaks that are given to the owners of real estate are really high. Taxes, interest and insurance could all be deducted. As well the real estate is a great way to diversify your investments.
