Investing In Real Estate Over Stocks?

Common investment strategies used to grow wealth with passive income include creating a diversified portfolio by investing in real estate. Read how investing in real estate may put you at an advantage

Contributed By Ashcroft Capital

Two common forms of investment strategies that smart investors use to grow their wealth with passive income include creating a diversified portfolio of stocks and investing in real estate. While investing in the stock market is beneficial for numerous reasons, investing in private market properties like multifamily provides several advantages. Here are three important reasons why some investors prefer multifamily private placement investments over stock market investments.

#1. Lower Volatility

Stocks can have a volatility that’s not found with most private placement offerings. Real estate provides a long-term cash flow provides passive income and the promise of appreciation (1).

The stock market is particularly vulnerable to several different forms of risk, which include economic, inflationary, and market risks. This volatility can occur because of company-specific or geopolitical events. The real estate market across the U.S. has been strong for more than a decade. Since 2010, the national housing market added $11.3 trillion in value – a more than 50% increase (4).

#2. Your Gains Can Be Deferred

If you sell a property that you’ve invested in and put the proceeds towards purchasing a similar property, your capital gains taxes can be deferred to a later date, which is called a 1031 tax-deferred exchange (3). During this process, a qualified intermediary will hold the proceeds from the sale until the money can be transferred to the other property’s seller. Engaging in a 1031 allows you to avoid the 15-20% long term capital gains tax rate (5).

#3. Can Be Used As Hedge Against Inflation

Over time, the value of a dollar increases as a result of inflation. While the value of currency will invariably increase over time, the rate of inflation isn’t always consistent. As inflation rises, the cost of everything goes up, including real estate (2). When property values increase, the property owner can charge more for rent, which ensures a higher revenue stream. By keeping pace with inflation, you gain an advantage that is difficult to obtain with stock market investments.

It’s never too early to start generating passive income. Placing some of your money into multifamily private placements could help you balance your portfolio and reduce the potential for losses.

The Cost of Not Hiring the RIGHT Property Manager

The cost of not hiring a professional property manager can vary depending on the type, size, and location of your rental property, as well as your own experience and availability as a landlord. However, some of the possible costs are:

Lost income: If you are not able to market your property effectively, screen and select quality tenants, or keep your vacancy rates low, you may lose potential rental income or face higher turnover costs. It can take an owner two more weeks than a professional property manager to find a good tenant, which can result in a significant loss of income.

Legal fees: If you are not familiar with the laws and regulations that apply to your property, such as fair housing laws, discrimination laws, lease agreements, security deposits, evictions, and taxes, you may expose yourself to legal risks and liabilities. Hiring a property manager can help you avoid costly lawsuits and fines by ensuring compliance with local, state, and federal laws.

Maintenance expenses: If you are not able to maintain your property regularly, respond to emergency repairs promptly, or hire and supervise reliable contractors, you may end up spending more money on maintenance and damage costs. A property manager can help you keep your property in good condition, prevent major issues, and negotiate lower prices with vendors.

Stress and hassle: If you are not able to handle the day-to-day tasks and challenges of managing your property, such as dealing with tenant complaints, collecting rent, handling paperwork, and resolving conflicts, you may experience stress and frustration. Hiring a property manager can give you peace of mind, free up your time, and allow you to focus on other things.

Cold Weather Precautionary Tips

Baby, it’s cold outside, and as winter wraps its icy fingers around us, Bev Roberts Rentals wants to make sure you’re cozy, safe, and well-prepared for the chill! So, before Jack Frost nips at your nose and pipes start to freeze, here are some winter tips that will make you the coolest tenant in town:

❄️Trickle Trouble Away: To avoid your pipes throwing a frosty fit, let a trickle of water run from faucets connected to pipes in unheated spaces. It’s like a warm, liquid scarf for your plumbing.

❄️Hose Unhitchin’ Time: Disconnect those outside water hoses from the spigots, or you might end up with a frozen faucet fiasco. Water trapped inside can crack it wide open, and that’s not cool.

❄️Pipe Protection Parade: Give your outside pipes a fashionable winter wardrobe by insulating them with a cloth or similar material. Even the pipes in your attic, including those leading to water heaters, deserve to stay toasty.

❄️Cabinet Cabaret: Open cabinet doors to let the warm air flow around your pipes. It’s like a cozy little dance party for your plumbing.

❄️Know Your Valve: Make sure you know where your main shut-off valve is located, just in case things get a little too frosty.

❄️Heating Huddle: When using supplemental heating units, be extra cautious. Keep all combustible materials, like drapes or chairs, at least three feet away from those toasty machines.

❄️Fireplace Frolic: To keep the risk of fire at bay, avoid using flammable liquids to ignite your fireplace, and never leave it unattended. But most importantly, check your smoke detector to make sure it’s on fire-watch duty.

Remember, tenants play a crucial role in maintaining the landlord’s property in tip-top shape during the frosty season. You can be the winter superhero, preventing property damage and saving the day! Just be aware that you, your occupants, or your guests could be held responsible for any neglect or abuse. If you’ve got any questions or need some guidance, don’t hesitate to reach out to your trusty property manager directly. Stay warm, stay safe, and enjoy the winter wonderland ahead!
