- Approximately 36% of Americans surveyed in a recent study by the global analytics and consultancy firm Gallup think that investing in real estate is the best long-term decision they can make.
- It is ranked higher than gold (18%), mutual funds or stocks (22%), and certificates of deposit or savings accounts (13%). Only 4% of those polled thought bonds were a wise investment, while only 3% said cryptocurrencies was a wise pick.
- According to Stacy Francis, President and CEO of Francis Financial, “nobody gets really emotional about stocks.” “But individuals definitely get emotional about real estate.”

- “You will work until the day you die if you can’t find a way to make money while you sleep,” remarked Warren Buffett once. Investing in high-yield real estate notes that pay 7.5% to 9% is a great way to gain passive income.
- Long-term appreciation and comparatively steady returns are possible with real estate investments. Given that rental income and property values typically increase in tandem with the cost of living, it frequently acts as a hedge against inflation.
- Crowdfunding platforms have made real estate investing more accessible to those who lack the funds for a down payment on a rental property, yet institutional investors and high-net-worth individuals have historically been the only ones allowed to own real estate. With certain systems, individuals can begin investing with as little as $10.
- For instance, Arrived Homes lets investors buy shares of certain rental houses for as little as $100, whilst Fundrise only requires a $10 minimum investment.
- Another choice is to use real estate investment trusts, or REITs. A publicly traded business that owns, manages, or finances real estate that generates income is known as a REIT. They give investors an opportunity to partake in the profits generated by owning commercial real estate without having to finance, manage, or purchase any properties directly.

- It is essential that you investigate the REIT you are considering investing in. Shopping centers, warehouses, and office buildings are wonderful ways to diversify your portfolio with REITs, but if you invest in a deteriorating industry or area, you’ll pay a price.
- “If there’s a REIT and it’s investing in shopping malls across the country, and shopping malls are not doing well … you’re going to feel that,” Francis stated. “You’re not going to be protected.”
