Why Real Estate?
Cash Flow
Real Estate Investments generate rent payments from their tenants or interest from loan payments. Both of which can be returned to investors.
Appreciation
Over time, land becomes increasingly scarce as cities get built out and are forced to expand. This drives property values and appreciates existing properties.
Tax Advantages
Investments are taxed differently than regular income taxes. Additionally, there are tax advantages and write-offs that developers can utilize to maximize returns.
