In the words of Franklin Roosevelt, “Real estate cannot be lost or stolen, nor can it be carried away. Purchased with common sense, paid for in full, and managed with reasonable care, it is about the safest investment in the world.” While his words are old, in today’s markets they still ring true. Investing in real estate can be a very rewarding experience.
Real estate helps to diversify your investment portfolio one step further. Even when the markets go through dramatic ups and downs, real estate is a stabilizer. While it’s unwise to make broad generalizations about any type of investments, real estate tends to bounce back even when disaster strikes. Just look at the housing bubble from 2008 and where real estate stands today. So long as you can play the long game and weather the storm, property is often seen as an excellent place to put your money.
Why Should You Invest in Real Estate?
Here are just a few of the many reasons why people put their hard-earned cash into property. There are, of course, many more benefits, but these are a few of the highlights:
Better than the Stock Market
Over time, the statistics have shown that real estate gives better returns than traditional investments within the stock market. According to one analysis, over the last 145 years in developed countries, investments in the housing market gave 7 percent returns while equities gave 6.89 percent, bonds 2.5 percent, and treasury bills under 1 percent returns.
Potentially Less Risk
It’s true that everyone should approach any type of investment with caution, but generally speaking, real estate comes at a lower risk than stocks. Why? Because as a tangible asset, you have much more control over the outcome.
In the stock market, you mostly have no control over the market forces which raise and lower stock price. With a house, you can make improvements, you can subdivide, you can even rent it out. Getting higher returns on your initial investment is often well within the hands of the owner. No matter what is going on in the markets, the most land will always return some value.
Diversification of Portfolio
Financial advisors always say, “Don’t put all your eggs into one basket.” It is a way to lower risk if something happens in one area of the market. You won’t lose everything if its carefully tucked in many different pots. Putting money into physical objects like vehicles rarely leads to returns, that is unless you mean real estate. It’s typically a safer place than most to begin diversifying your portfolio.
How to Start Investing
If you’ve made the decision to start putting your money down on a piece of property, you need to know a few pro tips before making the leap. Here are a couple of hints to get you started in the right direction.
Detail Oriented
From purchase to sale, it’s all in the details. Knowing how to pick the right property often is thanks to knowing what details are important. Grasping real estate is about paying close attention to the small things.
Understand your Expenses
Property isn’t free once you’ve paid it off. You must consider renovations, insurance, property taxes and more. Paint a full picture of how much a piece of land is going to cost you on an annual basis.
Potential Profits
Speak with a knowledgeable real estate agent about the neighborhood and similar pieces of property in the area. Dig into the statistics, including those of your annual costs. You’ll piece together these tidbits to make an informed prediction on profit.
Ways to Finance Investment
One of the downsides to real estate is the high cost of initial investment. It’s going to take a hefty chunk of savings to get started, but once you are in, the benefits keep rolling in. Here are a few ways to get with the initial investment:
Paying in full
Not an option for everyone, but if you’ve got the cash and the price is right, it could be the smartest option.
Using Conventional Mortgages
If you’ve run the numbers and can afford to cover the costs, a conventional mortgage is a great way to get into real estate. Whether you are buying your first home or a rental property, a mortgage helps those who need it cover costs.
Home Equity Loans
If you already own a home or business property, you may be able to re-invest the equity back into more property via a home equity loan. This increases the risk of losing your current property, but can also make expanding your property portfolio easy.
Investing in Real Estate Online
These days, even people who never expected to enter into the real estate market are doing so thanks to online investment platforms. These platforms make it easy to purchase property, even in cities you’ve never visited before. As an investment tool, they also lower the barrier to entry with lower costs and lower risks. Online real estate investing is a relatively new format, with companies like Fundrise and RoofStock aiming to turn the physical real estate into more of a stock investment.
The downsides of online real estate investment are the lack of physical property as these are strictly investment platforms. Sometimes, it does pay to see the place in person and have more control over the process with an actual real estate agent.
Everyone does tote the benefits of investing in real estate, but you’ve likely heard the horror stories as well. Real estate, while lower risk, is not free of risk. Remember the days following the 2008 financial crisis to remind yourself of the dangers. Pay close attention to the details of all transactions and do your homework before making the investment.
