There are many reasons to invest in real estate. I’ve been investing in cash flow properties for about 10 years now and wanted to share my personal 3 Reasons Why I Love Investing in Real Estate:
1. Invest Locally
Every time you buy a single family home, duplex or apartment complex
- you are investing in your local area. You are improving your local
city and neighborhoods one house at a time and providing housing
solutions for the people in your local market.
2. Cash Flow
Cash flow is my personal favorite reason for investing in rental homes and apartments.
Investing in hard assets that produce income is a huge benefit of
buying and holding investment property. Your tenants pay your mortgages
and your cash left over after all your expenses is your net cash flow.
Imagine making $300 per month in net cash flow and not having to work
much to produce it. If you invest in 15 houses, you could create
$4,500 of monthly cash flow while enjoying all the other benefits of
single-family homes.
3. Multiple Exit Strategies
A number of exit strategies can produce great results. You can be a
landlord and enjoy rental income; you can use lease options as your exit
strategy; you can sell with seller financing and enjoy income from your
note, or you can sell the house outright to a new buyer (flip it).
I can personally say that it’s been very rewarding and profitable investing in various types of rental real estate deals. I think the flexibility that it affords me to be home with my kids is the best reason of them all- for me!
