Advantages of Real Estate Investing
Real estate investing will serve you plenty of benefits. Let’s get to know the most mentionable ones among them and briefly discuss them:
1. Permanent Home
More or less, everyone has a dream of a permanent home. Many people have permanent homes in their rural districts, but having a permanent address in the chief metropolitan cities like Dhaka, Chittagong, and the like is a different thing. Buying land and building a house on that require a huge investment. If you want to buy a flat, getting loans will be a lot easier, and fulfilling your dream of a permanent home will also become quicker.
2. Stable Cash Flows
If you own a residential flat, it will allow you to rent that flat and earn monthly rental income from there. You only have to make sure that your tenants have sound payment records of paying rent. You need to have all the required documents from them and investigate where they work so that no issues can arise in the future about not paying rent or delayed payment.
3. Possibility of Great Returns
You can earn great returns from your real estate property if its value increases over time. But this sort of appreciation can’t be guaranteed. That’s why you need to check everything clearly while buying the flat and ensure that you are getting the right one.
4. Tax Benefits
Your investment in real estate will let you enjoy certain tax advantages. You can minimize various expenses related to owning a flat, consisting of property taxes and fees of property management, mortgage interest, property insurance, continuing property maintenance costs, repairing costs, and the payments you make to promote your flat to probable renters. Again, if you sell your flat for a higher price than the purchase price, this gain will be taxed as a capital gain rather than as an income. So, here tax rate will also be lower.
5. Lower Primary Investment
In case, you want to invest in the stock market, you will need a huge investment to earn a mentionable return. Again, if you want to make your home on your plot, that will also need a lot of investment, and quite impossible to fulfill it with a lower income. Getting a home loan is also quite difficult. But you don’t need such a huge investment to buy your flat, and getting loans to invest in real estate projects is easier.
So, a lower initial or primary investment will be enough to invest in a residential flat.
6. Continuous Value Increase
There can be a chance of continuous value increase of your flat if it’s situated in such an area where there is a huge possibility of getting several structural developments in the future. If your flat is located at a prime location, then its value will also increase over time. You don’t have to make any kind of customization or development to increase this value.
