The phenomenon of retirees amassing wealth is not new. But one of the most popular, and perhaps controversial, ways to amass that wealth is through real estate. Real estate is one of the most stable investments on the planet. In fact, some sources estimate that it is up to eight times safer than the stock market.
Some people are afraid to invest in real estate because they feel like they do not have enough knowledge on how to make a profit from it. But with some guidance from me, as an expert in real estate investment, you can get started with the goal to retire rich!
How Much Money Do You Need?
To be a successful real estate investor, you need to have the cash and patience to ride out the market. It can be a long process when you are starting out, but if you are willing to make the investment in yourself, it will pay off.
A lot of people think that they need a lot of money to start investing in real estate. The reality is that you don't need a ton of money to get started. The key is knowing where and how to invest your money for the best return on investment (ROI).
The kind of finance you need mainly depends upon the type of property you want to invest in. Different types of properties require different investments. You can invest in residential properties, which usually require less money, or commercial properties, which require more capital depending on the type of property you are looking for.
How To Decide On Finances?
The best way to figure out how much money you need as an investor is by looking at the market value of the property you are interested in purchasing. Then decide how much cash you have available for investment. If there's a gap between what you can afford and what the property is worth, then see if someone will cosign for a loan with you or lend it to you outright before investing any more resources into that real estate.
Real Estate — The Best Investment
Here why investing in property is a better option than other forms of investments that can make you retire rich:
- It's tangible: The fact that real estate is tangible means that it can be seen, touched and experienced unlike the abstract nature of stocks and bonds. This gives it more value in people’s mindsets which translates into higher returns on their investments.
- It has huge potential upside: Buying a property for say $400,000 today will have the potential to turn into $600,000.
- Liquidity: The stability of real estate also makes it appealing to people who have liquid assets that they want to invest in. They can use them as collateral for mortgages or other loans that would be difficult for them to get if they didn't have any liquid assets.
