Residential real estate can make an excellent investment. Whether you are converting your current home into a rental, purchasing properties to “flip”, or looking to acquire rental units with a long term strategic goal, residential real estate is a great way to diversify your portfolio.
Residential real estate typically provides excellent long term growth. Occasionally trends in the market will allow investors to create significant short term gains, as well. Whether you are buying all-cash or leveraging your properties, there are a number of different strategies that will allow you to achieve a very solid return on your investment.
Residential real estate is one of the few investments where you can borrow a large sum of money at a very reasonable interest rate, pay if back over a long period of time, invest that money in a positively growing asset, and keep 100% of the profit. In addition to the long term growth, the potential for a positive cash-flow on a monthly basis as well as the annual tax benefits from mortgage interest, property taxes, and depreciation can dramatically add to your net ROI.
