Smart Real Estate Investing is a Low Risk Investment That Always Performs Well
Author and investor, Henry W. Behrens, makes several good points in his article regarding this economy and the importance of considering real estate investment. As he states, real estate does well in both types of economies: inflation and deflation. Moreover, we can expect real estate values to increase when inflation hits right along with other commodities.
The only thing he fails to mention (so I’ll mention it) regards the importance of using sound real estate investor software to run the numbers correctly. Bear in mind, that no one should start investing in real estate until they are duly prepared to do a cash flow analysis on the property using some form of real estate investment software or spreadsheet.
Here’s the article:
The combination of stock market drops and inflation is playing havoc with almost everyone’s income and retirement savings right now. That is, everyone except the smart real estate investors.
Wouldn’t it be great to have a reliable, low risk game plan for wealth that could withstand the ups and downs of the economy? Well, owning real property is exactly that kind of an investment.
Bonds do better in low inflation or recessionary periods. Stocks tend to do better in high inflationary periods or when the economy is doing well. But, real estate investments perform well in both economies: inflation and recession.
In fact, there hasn’t been a better time to get involved in rental property investing than there is right now.
Let me ask you a question. What happens to the value of real estate when the economy is thriving or when inflation hits? The answer is the value increases right along with the prices of food, electricity and clothing.
On the other hand, the value of bonds goes down when inflation hits. And, if you are depending on the interest earned from those bonds to pay your bills, you will need to cut back on your lifestyle to make ends meet.
But what about the value of rental properties during a slow economy? The demand for rentals increases due to foreclosures and your rent income gets even better.
In fact, a slow economy is the perfect time to buy investment properties because this is when you’ll find bargains galore. When it is a “buyer’s market” you can find very good deals and make your profit “up front”–when you purchase your property. Many other investors made the mistake of trying to build wealth in real estate when prices were the highest.
