Cash Flow through Passive Income

Your stake in a real estate investment enables you to benefit from the cash flow the property produces each month. Cash flow is what is left over when you take the property’s income (most often in the form of rent) minus its expenses. Because every investor is entitled to their share of the property’s cash flow based on their amount invested, and because their invested dollars are in a sense “earning” them these sizable distributions directly to their bank accounts, investors have come to refer to it as “passive income”.

Appreciation

In general, property appreciation means an increase of its value over time. The more an asset appreciates in value, the more profit is made on its refinance or sale. In addition to this natural appreciation, we increase the value of our assets by increasing their net operating income, which in turn, further increases their value. This means more money for the investors upon refinance or sale of the property.

Tax Benefits

We are not professional tax accountants and we recommend you seek proper counsel, but owning real estate has always offered incredible tax savings and huge tax advantages when compared to traditional investments such as stocks & bonds. Often times investors in apartment buildings end up paying little to no taxes because of the loopholes written into our tax codes. Oftentimes you are also able to reduce or eliminate the taxes you pay at your W2 job when owning commercial real estate. Please seek your tax professional for personalized tax benefit information.

Stability

Unlike stocks, which can be volatile and subject to market fluctuations, real estate is a physical asset that is not affected by the same economic forces. In fact, real estate tends to appreciate in value over time, which can provide a significant return on investment.
