Different Streams Of Income Relating To Real Estate

 

  Visit Our Website 


There are different ways to stream income from real estate. This income stream includes profit income, interest income, dividend income, rental income, capital gain, and royalties.

A good business yields a lot of returns for the investors. To be able to invest in any business there must be capital. One of the ways to raise capital is by saving money from monthly wages. The savings should be invested in a business that will earn passive income without needing to do much work. Having sufficient cash flow can lead to financial freedom.

Buying and selling properties is an excellent way to earn profit income. Profit refers to the difference between the amount of money spent and the amount earned in a given period on a particular investment. There are different types of properties to buy and sell but flipping a house or land will give a better return on investment. For example, investing in the construction and selling of buildings or flipping old renovated buildings. Land can also be bought in a fast-developing area and sold for a profit after a few months or years (land speculation). Note that the real estate business requires a lot of capital. The house flipping business is a very lucrative venture where used properties are bought renovated, and sold for huge profits.

Flipping a used house is faster compared to building a new one.  The housing business is cyclical and unpredictable. Some investors prefer to buy old houses and flip them rather than construct new ones because, by the time they finish building, the housing cycle may hit a downturn making it hard to sell the house on time for a good profit.

Rental income is another way to make money without doing so much. Investors can buy or build a house and rent it out for a monthly, or yearly income. This investment has to be carefully strategized to ensure the return is at least 10% per annum on investment. This means building a portfolio that can generate competitive returns despite increasing inflation. 

Capital gain is the profit made from the sale of property or an investment. It can also be defined as an increase in a capital asset’s value which can be realized when the asset is sold. When a house is rented the money comes as a rental income for the landlord. Additionally, after several years the landlord gets back invested capital adjusted for inflation value and some extra cash when the property is sold. This extra cash is the actual capital gain for the investor.

The difference between lending money for interest and using it to buy real estate is that the exact capital is gotten back with the agreed interest for the period indicated. However, when that money is used to purchase a rental property, the investors get monthly, or yearly income and net capital gain on the appreciated investment any time a decision is taken to sell. This provides double gain for the investor.

Dividends can be earned by investing in a real estate investment trust (REIT). Investors’ funds are collected and used to acquire income-generating real estate. This investment has no minimum investment limits but gives monthly, quarterly, or yearly dividends on the investment. It also gives investors the flexibility to liquidate their investment without the need for a realtor. This is another way to get rich by investing in real estate.

Royalty income is payments received for using properties such as literary works, artistic works, copyrights, trademarks, patents, etc. This payment comes weekly, monthly, quarterly, or yearly according to the terms of the agreement. When land is used for extracting natural resources, the owner can earn royalty as a percentage of the income generated from the use of the property.

These streams of income are some of the benefits that investors may enjoy as a result of being a landlord of landed property.

Why Parking Lot Should Be Highly Considered In Apartment And Commercial Buildings

     Visit Our Website  When you build a house without adequate parking space for the tenants, this can quickly become a nightmare. These can bring discomfort to the tenants, lead to quarrels among tenants and limit the number of vehicles each family can own. Tenants looking for apartments without parking space are limited, so these can result in rent void for several months. During the building planning stage, you need to work closely with the architect to ensure adequate parking areas are created and assigned to every apartment. One to two-bedroom apartments will need at least one parking lot each, while three to four-bedroom apartments will need two parking lot each. In most cases, a self-contained room may not need a parking lot because they are usually let out to young and singles individuals without a vehicle yet. Parking lots bring a lot of value to an apartment when tenants know they can park their vehicles without hassles or need to scout the immediate vicin...

Before pegging and digging the foundation of the proposed building. The first thing is to determine how high the oversite concrete of the house should be raised above the natural ground level. Note that there will be many different levels on a sloped land. It is very important to check the topography of the area. More important is the level of the land with respect to the road. If the road is tarred, use it as a reference for determining how high to fill the land when the building is completed for proper grading of the yard for surface drainage.

What You Should Know About Real Estate Speculation

Visit our website Real estate speculation  is the purchase of a real estate asset (building or land) with the hope that it will become more valuable in the future. It is a passive approach to making profit based on forecasts  and educated guesses of future real estate market trends not substantiated by firm evidence . Speculation leaves no room for the speculator to influence the profit outcome,  because there is not much you can do as a speculator to drive, influence or accelerate the appreciation of the land or building(s).  Real estate speculation can be likened to investments in stocks or sports betting in this respect. On one hand, real estate investments generally involve a degree of speculation on the potential for appreciation in the value with time due to changing market conditions (demand versus supply) and/or improvements in face value (infrastructural, social, economic, security) in the locality. On the other hand, it is important to note that ...
