Leverage is often noted as the primary advantage of Real Estate when compared to other investment options. Tax advantages are highlighted as well.
The two advantages of real estate investments frequently over-looked are: 1.) Greater Control which is a unique advantage because the owner maintains the ability to influence beyond the decision to buy or sell. There is an opportunity to change the operation of your investment and respond to market conditions. 2.) Insurance can be purchased to legally protect a real estate investment.
These two factors are advantages to real estate investments which are often over-looked when comparing different types of investment options (mutual funds, stocks, bonds, etc...) to real estate.Labels: advantages, investments, real estate
