Ways to Invest in Real Estate in 2023
One of the best investments you can make is real estate. When it comes to investing in real estate, there are endless ways to do it. If done right, real estate can be lucrative. Real estate investment can also help diversify your investment portfolio and, eventually, provide a stream of passive income. However, a lot of people do not know how or where to start when it comes to investing in real estate. In this article, we share some ways to invest in real estate in 2023.
Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs)
This is a good option for people who want to own rental real estate without having to buy real estate. REITs are public companies that lease out real estate assets such as retail spaces, office buildings, hotels, and apartments. These companies take the hassle of owning real estate and handle all the ownership and rental logistics. After investing in a REIT, you will just sit and wait to collect dividends, and the good news is that REITs tend to pay high dividends. Real Estate Investment Trusts are required to pay out almost all of their after-tax profits to investors as dividends.
Real Estate Crowdfunding
This is a very popular investment option in real estate. According to research, the global real estate crowdfunding market had grown to over $10 billion in 2021. Real estate crowdfunding is for those people who want to join others in investing in a bigger residential or commercial deal. Real estate crowdfunding involves many people contributing money to raise a large sum of money that can purchase real estate. However, this is not an option for anyone looking to make quick money, as funds are tied-up for extended periods.
House Flipping
House flipping involves buying a house, renovating the house, and selling it for a profit within a short period of time. This takes a lot of work. Flipping may be a good option if you have experience in real estate valuation, renovation, and marketing.
Rental Properties
Investing in rental property can be a good option for you if you have the patience to manage tenants. You can invest in either short-term or long-term rentals. A long-term rental is a property rented to a tenant for a long period. On the other hand, short-term rentals are usually rented to tenants for stays of not more than a month.
Rent Out Part of Your Home
Finally, you could rent out a part of your home if you are looking to get started in the real estate world. This is called house hacking. House hacking can decrease housing costs. By renting out a part of your home, you can enjoy passive income while at the same time gaining experience as a landlord. This experience can prove quite beneficial if you decide to make a larger investment in the future. House hacking can also make your mortgage payment more attainable.
