Why invest in Real Estate?

Why invest in Real Estate when the increase in the value of your investment only grows 4-5% per year?   Good question and I am glad you asked.

1) Real Estate is a safer investment than most other investments because of its very nature.  It is real property.  While the stock market has gone up and down at a dizzying pace - the worst year in Real Estate over the last 40 yrs was a 2% decrease in value nationally. 

2) You can live in it while your investment grows.  Have you ever asked if you can live at a stock brokerage?

3) Leverage!  Real Estate can be bought with only 5 to 20% down.  If you purchase stock you must put down 100%.  If you invest $100,000  in $100,000 worth of stock and it increases 5% this year you will have made 5% on your investment.   If you put $10,000 down on a $100,000 home and it increases in value 5% this year you will have made 50% on your investment.   5% vs 50%.  Wow what a difference!

Everyone needs a balanced portfolio of investments - just be sure that real estate is part of that balance.   Investment in Columbus Ga Real Estate seems to be very good idea at this time.   In addition to the reasons stated above - the business news is very strong for the Columbus GA - Phenix City AL area right now.
