Of the more than two-thirds of Americans who own their own homes, a significant portion have seen them appreciate in recent years. Real estate, after all, is the
quintessential scarce resource. You simply can't go out and create new land. So it seems natural that its price would keep going up and up.
There are many beneficial reasons to invest in real estate:
- Real estate values continue to rise during an unstable
economy.
- Property can have a higher yield than bonds and other stable
investments.
- Depreciation of property and deductible expenses may lower
your taxes.
- Rental property revenue has historically increased at a
steady rate.
- Rental income can be used to offset expenses.
The potential for income, appreciation and possible tax savings makes
investment property especially attractive. But it is important for you to
get professional advice before you decide to buy investment property. You
may want to start with a personal financial advisor who can help you set
your investment goals. Smitha can then help you select a competitively priced property that meets these goals and can answer questions about why a particular property would be a solid in-vestment. What features would make it easy to rent? What kind of maintenance expenses are you likely to incur? What will your cash flow be, and how will the tax savings affect your bottom line?
No one can guarantee that you will make money by investing in real estate, but many people have found and continue to find it a solid way to establish an investment income that will appreciate in value over the long term and often pay off annually in
substantial tax savings. While it is hard to predict how much a particular property will appreciate, Smitha can give you the history of price trends in our market area.
