Myths? Real estate is always a good investment. Real estate values always go up. The price of a property should be 100 times the rent.
Have you heard these?
Indeed, we think there are plenty of opportunities in investing. However, we also have an acute awareness that not all real estate is “good investment”. We work with clients to help them understand real estate returns and total return on investment. Not just the rudimentary cash flow or cash on cash return calculations, but also total returns that let you evaluate the potential (and limitations) of properties that you are considering.
Income – This talks about income that is coming in and rent that is being paid.
Depreciation – A tax tool that can be beneficial.
Equity – Growth that comes from a tenant paying down the mortgage.
Appreciation – The value of the property that tends to go up eventually.
Leverage – You can borrow money to buy real estate so that your returns are multiplied.
The video below will help you understand each element better by breaking them down with examples. The model we use to calculate real estate return is also explained on the video. Watch the video below to further understand and calculate what the return is.
