No, we’re not technically experts on this topic (retirement planning) but we know plenty who are and we do know about the value of investing in real estate. Culled from a lot of reading here’s what we learned/know about real estate as part of your retirement plan(ning):
- You can access funding to acquire investment property
- You can leverage your investment with your own efforts for greater returns (than say,stocks)
- You exercise direct control over your investment—a board of directors somewhere else isn’t driving the decisions
- Housing demand is and remains high
- Investing in real estate has a proven track record, especially in the recent market conditions
- It’s relatively predictable and fairly stable—everyone needs a place to live
- You can diversify with your investment type (single family, condo, multi family, etc.)
If you’ve already done this, you know how favorable this current seller’s market has been. ….
