Investing in property can provide high returns. It also runs the risk
of a deep-pocketed loss. Essentially, all homeowners make an investment
when they purchase a property, since homes generally appreciate in
value. However, some people find that investing in properties outside of
home ownership can amass a small fortune over time. There are several
ways to invest in properties, each of which offers a different risk
level, maintenance requirement and rate of return on investment.
Steps
-
Invest in a real estate investment trust, or REIT ("reet").
Real estate investment trusts serve to pool the money of investors for
the purpose buying, selling, developing and managing real estate
properties.
- As an investor, you will benefit from a hands-off approach while
investing in multiple properties and thus diversifying your portfolio.
- The REIT manager is required to pay 90 percent of trust income
directly to trust shareholders for all taxable income derived from the
rent or sale of a property. Real estate investment trusts are highly
liquid, and they allow for investment in commercial property as well as
residential.
-
Become part of a real estate investment group to learn the fine points of investing in property.
Like a REIT, a real estate investment group pools the money of two or
more people to purchase, develop, manage and sell properties. Because
these groups are generally much smaller than real estate investment
trusts, members can aid in managing properties and gather tips and
advice from other seasoned investors.
- A real estate investment group is private and is required to pay profits only according to private contracts.
- Investments with real estate investment groups are not as liquid as
in a REIT. Instead, one or more properties must sell before a member can
withdraw money from the group.
-
Purchase a property to develop and sell. These are called short-term ownership investments. They may offer the opportunity for high profits.
- When "flipping" a property (buying, refurbishing and selling it),
choose a house, apartment complex, duplex or commercial building with
outdated features and needed upgrades.
- Negotiate a reasonably low price with the seller for an "as-is"
property, and install the upgrades needed to increase the property's
value.
- While you can hire a contractor for the work you need done,
do-it-yourself repairs will result in a higher profit margin. Attempt to
sell the home yourself before enlisting the help of a real estate
agent, as agent fees average around six percent of the total sale price.
-
Become the landlord of a property to receive ongoing income.
Purchase or build apartments, homes, duplexes, or shopping centers.
Search for foreclosure properties with low price tags and low
maintenance requirements. Avoid purchasing property in poor condition
unless you can do the repairs yourself.
- While some repairs such as new flooring or paint are expected when
purchasing a rental property, others such as a new roof or foundation
repair could eliminate the possibility of making a high return on your
investment.
