Why do we want to invest in Real Estate ?
I will give you 4 reasons: (there are 5 actually)
1) Rental property.
The monthly payments responsibility has been taken over by the Tenant, provided that the Rental adequately covers your loan payment. This is what we called “+ve Cashflow”.
Not many people can actually afford to hold and maintain multiple properties over an extended and indefinite period of time while waiting for the value to rise. 

2) Pre-construction investment.
This is a highly speculative! and very risky!.
But the fact that many millionaires have been created through pre-construction investing and many more will be created in the future. Wow!
This is very popular in high demand areas that are known to experience housing shortages as prices often rise quickly and the units are often sold before they are completed. 

3) Flipping houses.
More and more people have decided to pursue this sort of investment in hopes of creating big profits in a short amount of time and with minimal investment.
The problem, of course, is that it always looks like “kacang putih”. Many people have unrealistic expectations when it comes to costs and ability and there are plenty of risks involved with this type of investment as well.
4) Buy and hold.
Real estate tends to gain value over time. Even if the buildings are in desperate need of repair the very land they are standing on is more often than not gaining value as the years pass by.
Purchasing several houses and holding on to them for as long as possible before selling can often fund
a. college educations for children,
b. for weddings, or
c. greatly supplement retirement funds.
The longer these properties are held the better in most cases as this provides the greatest opportunity for the value of the property to increase. I am suggesting this for most of my clients, with a minimum of 5 years holding period. These are only some of the investment opportunities that exist for those who are interested in real estate for an investment avenue. Needless to say real estate investing offers many opportunities to the savvy investor.
