• Capital Growth:
The value of your property will grow over time and maybe extremely beneficial financially if well chosen. Not only will you benefit from steady capital growth, but regular annual/monthly rental returns
• A safe investment:
This is the only investment market which is not dominated by investors, hence creating a natural buffer in the market. It is also the most forgiving investment; if you purchase the worst house in the area, chances are that its value will still increase over time.
• Less risk:
You can insure your asset against most risks; fire/damage/ a tenant leaving, damaging your property or breaking the lease.
• Anyone can invest:
You do not have to possess a vast amount of knowledge but acquire a reasonable knowledge.
It is Trans Generational:
This is one benefit that cannot be overlooked. When an individual buys a piece of property to hold and after a long or short time the individual can will the property to his or her loved ones or any person he or she loves and trust. Some individuals prefer buying the property in their loved one’s name. Bottom line is it can be passed to future generations
There are no perfect investment avenues and real estate investment is no exception.
For each advantage there is for tying up your money in investment property, there is at least one disadvantage.
It is important that you go into any venture with your eyes wide open. Investing in real estate is a great way of increasing your net worth, but it’s not necessarily quick, and rarely is it easy!
