Top 5 Reasons to Invest in Real Estate

Anyone can invest in real estate and now is the best time. Canada has been ranked one of the top countries to invest in real estate. Let's look at the top 5 reasons why we are putting our money in real estate.

1. Cash Flow

Whether you buy with all cash or use today's favorable financing with a low mortgage payment, properties we acquire cash flow relatively well when the monthly debt is subtracted from the monthly rent.

 2. Appreciation

Appreciation is the increase in the property's value, which generally occurs over time and  can be increased by investors who add value to the property through repairs and enhancements. This also creates equity in the property.

 3. Tax Benefits

An investor can usually claim the interest portion of his monthly mortgage payment as a tax deduction.

 4. Leverage

Leverage is one of the most powerful reasons to invest in real estate. Banks don't lend you money to invest in stocks and bonds but are willing to provide at least 80% of the properties value to help you invest in real estate.

 5. Retirement Savings

Have someone pay your mortgage for you every month and you may find your self mortgage free by the time you retire. This is an excellent way to save for your future retirement and your family.
