Is Real Estate Investing Part Of Your New Year's Resolution?
The end of the year is a good time to take stock of your financial position and evaluate your progress. The next step is to set a New Year's resolution that will help you achieve your goals, and an option that has the potential to yield lucrative profits is real estate investing!
What makes a good property purchase? A good investment of course has a high predicted rate of return, and your investment's potential profit should equal that of your risk. With that in mind, here are three strategies to consider when investing in Australian real estate.
3 of the Most Effective Strategies for Real Estate Investing
1. Owning rental properties
This method of real estate investing is the most popular in Australia. The barrier to entry is low and you can offset your management costs. You will need money in your savings account to pay the up-front costs in maintenance. Owning rental properties provides an excellent opportunity for financial benefit and with the help of a quality property manager, it is headache-free.
2. House flipping
House flipping is a long-term investment with enormous profit potential. Flippers make a profit by buying and selling low-cost real estate. The investment must be valued enough to yield a return without needing renovations. Or you can also flip the houses at low prices and fix them up so you can sell them for a larger profit.
3. An Australian Real Estate Investment Trusts (A-REITs)
REITs are the ideal way to invest in real estate without the extra steps of buying and selling individual properties. They are formed when a corporation uses investor capital to purchase and manage rental properties. It gives you access to non-residential ventures like shopping centres, hotels, airports, and office buildings. REITs are great investments for stock market investors who seek a consistent income.
