Real estate is the perfect investment product for those looking to maximize gains and minimize the impact of taxes on their investment. Purchasing an investment property or two can lead to passive income that you can rely on for years to come. When you pass on or decide to sell the property, you can transfer it to a family member with few tax consequences.
Getting A Loan May Be Trickier
It may be harder to get investment property loans as opposed to a traditional mortgage. This is because there is no guarantee that your property will making money each month. For example, the property could be vacant or it could cost too much to maintain. If the property costs more to operate than you bring in each month, there is a large incentive to stop paying the mortgage or just walk away from the property.
Buy A Duplex To Enhance Your Rental Income
When you buy a duplex, you can charge rent to multiple tenants in the same building. Instead of collecting $1,000 a month in rent, you could collect $1,000 from one tenant, $800 from another tenant and rent the attic for $500. This should be more than enough money to cover your mortgage and make a profit. Renting a duplex can also be helpful because you still have income coming in as long as one of the units within the building is renting.
Live In The House As Well As Rent It
You are allowed to spend time living in your rental properties. If you have a duplex, you can live in one apartment while renting the other. This is advantageous because you can take certain tax deductions while still getting the benefit of a rent check each month.
Owning a rental property makes it easier to save for retirement or help increase your cash flow right now. Each month, you will get a rent check from your tenant or tenants that you will put little effort into earning once the property has been rented. The best part is that anyone can take advantage of this investment opportunity as long as you have the money to purchase a property.
