- Certainty of Income. The income you receive from your properties is certain. You get regular rental payments from your tenants depending on the agreed duration. If the property is in a good location, that means more juice cause its value will appreciate and generate more income.
- Stability. According to numerous investors, the property market is very stable compared to other investment markets out there. A lot of investments may get depreciated due to bad news, poor management and a lot of other issues. Investment properties are bound by a long-term renters' contract that allows you to receive guaranteed income for a while.
- Escaping Tax. Another unique advantage of owning an investment property is tax incentives. You can save a lot on your taxes and get many benefits when you buy a home as an investment property.
- Securing Bank Loan. With an investment property in your name, obtaining a bank loan no longer becomes a hassle. You can use the existing equity in the property to either secure a loan or purchase another investment property without having to sweat.
- Attractive Portfolio. For most investors, investment properties beef up their portfolio or financial statement. It is like building a reputable profile in the world of business. With an attractive portfolio that entails numerous investments in properties, potential investors or angels won’t hesitate whenever a need to invest comes.
