Property. Still as Safe as Houses?

137

Property is one of the best investments you can make ever! Especially right now with world real estate markets having dropped down so much. As Warren Buffet would say, be greedy when everyone else is afraid, and be afraid when everyone is greedy. Well, now is time to invest in real estate. Traditionally, real estate has a long term growth perspective since it is a real investment and adjusts for inflation as well as being a finite investment.

Yes, it can be very risky if you sink a great deal of money into the investment and get stuck without begin able to make payments or with vacancies while the market turns down and you end up watching you equity disappear. But, if you can buy a home and get a loan then you take some of that risk off your shoulders and place a lot of risk on the bank. Worst case scenario your credit gets ruined for a while but at least you won’t lose all your money.

The great thing about real estate is that there is always a demand for it. People need somewhere to live. Everyone wants to have their own home and there are a lot of renters out there right now that can’t afford to buy their own. So, if you are looking for a great long term investment that will give you the prospect of amazing returns while protecting your money against inflation, then real estate is your best bet. Especially now!

Factors Favoring Property Investment in the Long Run:

• Low interest rates – Lowest level seen in history.
• Instability in stock markets – Volatile markets are risky bets.
• Problems with Pensions – Your retirement savings might be safer in real estate.
• Low Management Costs – It can cost you a lot less to hire a property manager than a stock broker.
• Inflation Protection – probable inflation will raise real asset values like property.

The global economy has been in chaos recently and the world is unsure of what will happen next. However, I would say that there is more risk in holding currency than there is in owning a house. Even if world war three breaks out you’ll be able to take safe haven in a home. Whereas you may not have access to cash and even cash can’t keep you warm in the cold.

Ok, so that was a bit too dramatic a scenario, but still it gives you a sense of safety to your investment in real estate. Find a good deal, buy a foreclosure, use cash to get the best deal and get a loan a few months after you renovate and get a tenant. You can even use your rental income as income on loan applications. Leverage your money without the risk. Buy cheap and wait for the market to recover. Real estate is always a safe investment, long term!
