Why invest in real estate?
1. High yields
Real estate investment generally provides higher returns than any other financial instruments (government and corporate bonds/deposits), and such yields can be comparable or even exceed those of corporate stock/company shares.
2. Preservation of capital
Real estate only loses its value in very extreme cases: for example, if a building becomes completely derelict or an area uninhabitable.
3. Low volatility
Real estate is less volatile than any other financial instruments. This is because real estate transactions are conducted on private markets and are less liquid.
4. Income tax optimisation
Income from bonds and shares is subject to income tax but it is possible to deduct any depreciation from the tax base through real estate, while maintaining its market value.
5. Protection against inflation
Standard rental agreements include annual indexation, which can be expressed as a fixed percentage or can equal the consumer price index. When selling real estate, its price will also rise with inflation (given stable demand).
6. Value increase potential
It’s easy to increase the value of real estate with renovation work. Selling at the right time is also key to boosting profits.
7. Cash Flow
Investments in commercial real estate typically lead to stable cash inflows from rent, which are distributed through dividends on a monthly, quarterly, or annual basis.
8. Financial leverage
If a bank loan is used to finance a purchase, the rental income will help cover the debt. Rental income will reduce the financial burden, increasing the equity capital, which the investor can eventually sell. If debt financing is cheaper than using equity capital, an investor can profit on the difference between the cost of equity and debt capital.
