In today’s tumultuous investing atmosphere there are opportunities to be captured by sharp investors. While the most stalwart of old line companies may have appeared to be a safe hedge against inflation and a profitable gain you may want to also consider investing in a more tangible type of investment. Real estate has for many decades been the safe vehicle of choice for solid gains. With so many large Funds moving into the real estate you may want to consider forming a Real Estate Fund for your own fund offering.
Here are a few points to consider:
Monthly Rental Payments: Each month a property receives a return in form of a rent payment. When you measure the cost of acquisition versus the monthly income a solid return can quickly be recognized. Fund Managers do need to consider vacancy rates, repairs and maintenance, as well as 10% for property management fees. Even after the basic costs a significant return is typical.
Appreciation: The housing market will not remain at the current level for long. When housing values rebound the increases from appreciation will result in tremendous returns. While the 20+% annual property value increases felt from 2000-2006 may not occur in every area even a modest increase in value combined with monthly rentals make single family homes a winner in the investment arena today.
