The advisable thing to do when investing in real estate, as well as in any area in which we are not experts, is to approach a professional. As you well know, to buy a property you need a large amount of money that you surely do not want to put at risk, because this not only depends on your taste in real estate, but on the area where the property is located, the conditions and state of construction, to ensure that it does not have hidden damages, to analyze the factors that influence capital gains, the property’s tax situation, the legal and notarial documentation that it entails, among other things. For this reason, it is important that you approach a real estate professional who can guide you through the process so that you can make a safe investment.
Determine the type of real estate investment: rent or sale
Define what you want, how you are going to use your investment, if you are going to invest in real estate in order to rent or sell, if you are going to buy a newly built house, a pre-sale or a low price to remodel.
Find out about all the options that exist in the real estate market and the risks and benefits of each one. Even if you have the support of a real estate agent, it is important that you also know as much as you can about what you are going to invest, so you can make the best decision safely.
Take into account the risks
A reality about real estate investing is that selling your property and making your investment profitable is not an easy task, and that sometimes it can even become impossible. This mainly happens if you make the investment without having done any previous research or analysis on the factors that influence the value of the properties and on which the power to liquidate your investment depends. To avoid this, you must know all those aspects that favor the property when selling it, base yourself on these for your search and thus choose carefully and properly the property in which you are going to invest.
A common mistake when investing in property to sell is to wait for immediate liquidity, this causes it to be priced above market value, which can cause the property to never sell or end up selling at a price below of the estimate, which instead of generating profit will mean a loss.
Consider that investing in property generates long-term income. When investing in a property to sell, it is advisable to wait three to five years to obtain a profit of up to 30% in case of having made the choice of the property considering its capital gain and that there are no factors that could decrease its value. During this time you can choose to rent the property to obtain income, or if you acquire the property through a mortgage loan, you can help with the rent to pay the interest.
Remember that investing in real estate is always going to be a good option since there will always be people looking to rent or buy a property. Take into consideration all the factors and risks involved and start your real estate investment!
