Which Real Estate Property Makes The Best Investment?

Sunday, May 16, 2010 | Labels: | |

For the person who is just starting out knowing how to be a real estate investor, the safest investment is residential income property. This is real estate that can be rented out to a tenant who plans to live in the property. The tenant pays rent on a monthly basis and that should be adequate for you to make your mortgage payment, pay operating expenses, and produce a small cash flow as a return on your property investment.

The types of residential income properties that we think are university beneficial are well constructed fix up properties that can be purchased at below market prices or value.

When you focused on buying residential income property, it gives you cash flow and tax benefits. The best residential income properties to buy are small apartment buildings and single family rental houses.

There are certain types of investment properties that are better than others. Land can be used for many things but it is not income producing and does not provide any means of tax shelter. Land for development is especially risky because it is often speculative and uncertain.

Commercial income property like office buildings, strip centers, retail stores, industrial spaces is a good investment for the seasoned investor, but involves a level of expertise that most beginning real estate investors do not possess.

Unfortunately, commercial property often suffers from over building and high vacancy rates. Commercial property is also vulnerable to swings in the economy. As the economy slows, small businesses go under, leading to more vacancies and less cash flow.
