How do you make money investing in real estate?
This is a very important question to ask of so that you understand how you’re going to be getting paid!
To What I know, there are 4 major methods your wealth can grow in real estate business investment.
Cash Flow
This occurs when you buy rental property and become a landlord. Your rental income the tenant pays you should exceed the monthly expenses, leaving you a profit which is known as cash flow. If the expenses are greater than the rental income you could charge, then why the hell would you buy that investment property?
Appreciation
In simple terms, appreciation is when home values go up and you can sell real estate for more than you bought it for. Over time prices tend to rise due to increasing population and demand for real estate. There is only so much land on this Earth for us humans to occupy. This is why real estate is attractive because land values always go up.
Equity
As you pay down your mortgage loan, you build equity in the property which means ownership. Once your mortgage is paid off, you have 100% equity in the home meaning you get all of the cash when you sell and don’t have to pay off the bank because you’ve already repaid your loan. Of course, you’re not paying down the loan with your own money but with the rental income a tenant is paying you.
Another way to earn equity is the way of fix and flippers. When you buy a house for less than market value and resell it for market value, you earn a profit (equity). This is why some real estate investors like the fixing and flipping strategy where they can buy and sell real estate for profits.
Development
When development begins to happen in a neighborhood your investment also increases in value because of the development and through this you make money investing in real estate.
Also, development is the business of improving real estate through the process of building, renovating, or leasing physical property. Land with a finished building on it is worth more than just the land itself. A building occupied by a rent-paying tenant it is worth more than a vacant building.
