Making real estate investments is one of the primary wealth builders, no matter your tax bracket. Learning how to invest in real estate is a dream for many, and for good reason.
Let's kick off the list with one option you might not expect. Buying a home can be an investment, but only if you do it right. Here's the best way to use your home as an investment.
– Buy your house at fair market value or less. That means don't overpay. – Stick to a 30-year pay-off schedule. That means don't refinance your mortgage and start the 30 years over. – Maintain your property overtime without investing too much in it.
– You own a home instead of paying rent.
– There are potential tax breaks.
– You have fixed long-term payments (if you choose a fixed APR).
– Your home will appreciate over time.
How to Get Started
All you have to do is purchase a home as you usually would. Just be sure you pay fair market value or less, so it's a good investment that will pay off.
