Why Invest in Real Estate

Monday, October 29th, 2007

In the short term, RE might not be a good choice, but for the long term, it is a much better one on the average return.

If you can get an average return of 10% from the stock market, you are doing very well. But on the RE market, you can do much better in normal conditions.

In the large metro areas, 7% annual increase in RE price is common. If you put 5% down, you borrow 95% from the bank, your capital increase 20 times. If your rent can cover the interest, tax, insurance, HOA, and maintenance, your return is 20*7% which is 140%. Isn’t this simple enough? This kind of leverage is really great. If you can pay down the capital by the same time, this leverage is even larger.
