You, Real Estate and investment.



1. Real Estate Can Be Easier to Understand.
When you start investing, it can be difficult to understand everything you need to know to make a profit. Many types of investments rely on abstract concepts and complex algorithms, which are especially difficult to understand. But most people are familiar with real estate to some degree. Investing in real estate can be much easier to understand than complex investments developed by mathematicians.


2. Real Estate Is Improvable.
After you buy a stock, you hold it for a period of time and hopefully sell it for a profit. The success of the stock depends on company management and their corporate success, which is out of your control.
In contrast, real estate investments are directly under your control. Though you can’t control demographic and economic changes, or acts of God, you can control many things relating to the physical property and tenants.



3. Real Estate is a Hedge Against Inflation.
Real estate is one of the few assets that reacts proportionately to inflation. As inflation goes up, housing values and rents go up.
Though real estate in general is a good hedge against inflation, rental properties that are re-leased every year are especially effective, since monthly rents can be adjusted upward in inflationary periods.



4. Real Estate Properties Exist in an Inefficient Market.
Unlike the stock market, the real estate market is full of inefficiencies. There is a lack of transparency relating to individual property values and also the strength of different markets, which means that real estate investments have the potential for very high profits.
Real estate investors who do their research, especially with help from industry experts, can find great real estate bargains.




5. Real Estate Can Be Financed and Leveraged.
Of course, you can technically purchase stocks and other assets using debt, but this can be very risky because the financing is not to purchase a hard asset. Real estate, on the other hand, is a market where products are usually bought with debt.
Real estate investments purchased with hard money or a mortgage can be structured in ways that are rather safe and affordable, so that large purchases can be made with a relatively small initial investment. The result is the purchase of a hard asset that appreciates year-over-year, and paying for it primarily with other people’s money.
