Understandably, market volatility is a valid concern. However, it’s important to note that property investments tend to be less volatile compared to other investment avenues like stocks.
Real estate historically appreciates over time, and by adopting a long-term perspective, we can strategically weather market fluctuations.
My expertise lies in identifying properties with strong growth potential, which can help mitigate the effects of short-term market swings.”

Property Investment is real estate property that has been purchased with the intention of earning a return on the investment, either through rental income, the future resale of the property or both.
An investment property can be a long-term endeavor or an intended short-term investment such as in the case of flipping, where real estate is bought, remodeled or renovated, and sold at a profit.
The way in which an investment property is used has a significant impact on its value. Investors sometimes conduct studies to determine the best, and most profitable, use of a property. This is often referred to as the property’s highest and best use.
For example, if an investment property is zoned for both commercial and residential use, the investor weighs the pros and cons of both options until he ascertains which one has the potential for the highest rate of return, and then utilizes the property in that manner.
Its more challenging to procure financing for an investment property than for a primary residence. In particular, insurers do not provide mortgage insurance to investment properties, and as a result, borrowers need to have at least 20% down to secure bank financing for investment properties. Additionally, to approve borrowers for a mortgage for an investment property, banks insist on good credit scores and relatively low loan-to-value ratios.
If an investor collects rent from an investment property, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) requires him to report the rent as income, but the agency also allows him to subtract relevant expenses from this amount. For example, if a landlord collects $100,000 in rent over the course of a year but pays $20,000 in repairs, lawn maintenance, and related expenses, he reports the difference of $80,000 as self-employment income.
