TYPES OF REAL ESTATE INVESTMENTS
There are three basic investment types that we recommend for beginner and intermediate investors. We can help you determine which options are best for you.
- Primary Residence: If you own your home, you’re already ahead. As inflation rises, the value of your home is likely to go up. At the same time, you’ve locked in a set mortgage payment, so you’ll be immune to rising rental costs. If you don’t currently own a home, our team can help you find a property that fits your needs and budget.
- Long-Term (Traditional) Rentals: A long-term rental is a dwelling that’s leased out for an extended period. For most tenants, the rental serves as their primary residence, which means it’s a necessary expense. This unique quality can help provide stable returns in uncertain times. A well-chosen property should pay for itself through rental income, and you’ll benefit from appreciation as it increases in value.
- Short-Term (Vacation) Rentals: Short-term rentals function more like hotels in that they offer temporary accommodations. A short-term rental can potentially earn you a higher return than a long-term rental, but this comes at the cost of more hands-on management. Done right, short-term rentals can be both a hedge against inflation and a profitable source of income. As a bonus, when the home isn’t being rented you have an affordable vacation spot for yourself!
