Why should I invest in Real Estate?

It’s tough to know where to invest your money (bonds, stocks, 401K, etc.) today with so many mixed messages out there.

Did you know you can save a ton on your taxes while building your wealth by investing in real estate? 

Here’s how…

·Most properties appreciate over time.  The IRS lets you write off a property as depreciating.  This means a HUGE tax break for you!

·Property allows you to build “Good Debt” because you are making money. 

·“Don’t put all your eggs in one basket!”  If you invest in real estate along with other investments such as stocks, bonds, your 401K or your IRA, you will build a stable investment portfolio.

·A Plan for Retirement: by investing in properties, you could potentially have a source of income after you retire.

·Deferment of Capital Gains Tax: If you made more money on your investment property than what you paid for it, it is your “Capital Gain”.  The government will tax you on that gain, but the government also allows you to take that gain and transfer it into another property like it by using a 1031 tax exchange.

·Instant Equity: When you, the investor, buy properties that are well below market value, you can instantly use the equity for additional buying leverage.

·Long Term Growth: When you buy and hold onto properties for the future, their value will continue to increase!
