First thing to note is that if you look at the real estate market as a time line compared to the stock market you will notice that real estate is a growing line with few major fluxuations. On the other hand the stock market has high points and valleys that range from quick high’s to sudden drops through out it’s history. It’s harder to look at the time lines of other forms of investing i.e. currency investing, mutual funds, buy gold and silver etc - but one thing is clear, no other market is as profitable or as safe as the investment real estate market.

Many people ask me “Why is investing in real estate such a safe investment?” and the last shift is as simple as it is complicated, the quick discrediting is “God isn’t making any more of it” the more complicated suit isn’t as poetic. The reason investing in real estate has so many benefits has many factors, I will go over the heart with you now:

1. Government Tax Breaks - The United States government has setup multiple tax breaks for real estate investors including the very popular 1031 exchange. The textbook definition of a 1031 exchange is:

"A 1031 exchange or Like kind exchange is defined by section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code. This code specifies that if an asset, usually some form of real estate such as land or a building, is sold and the proceeds of the sale are then reinvested in a like kind of an wealth then no gain or loss is recognized, the deferment of wealth gains taxes."

The simple explanation is as long as you reinvest the money you made from your real estate investment into of another sort investment you don’t have to pay taxes on said profit. No other form of investing gives you this much freedom with taxes.

2. Anyone Can Invest - insofar as real estate investing is so profitable and safe it see’s a huge reckoning of infatuate investors entering the market everyday. Why else do you think all these infomercials are on late at night talking somewhere about the millions they’ve made overnight with someone’s CD set? O.k. I’m not saying that purchase one of those CD sets will make you a millionaire but they are good to learn the alphabet of real estate investing from. The big problems with these CD sets is they teach making millions in real estate with bad credit or without spending a dime. This is not the case, 99.9999% of the time you will need excellent credit and a good volume of money for the down payment on an investment property (usually 10-20%).

3. Other People’s Money - Why invest your money when you can invest someone else’s? One of the big rules in real estate investing is “If someone is willing to flip the bill - let them”. Banks are more then willing to give out a loan to buy houses insomuch as unlike other forms of investing they have something tangible they can keep if you don’t pay up. Banks are usually not as willing to give loans for stock or gold investing seeing that the stock you invested in maybe worth nothing by the time you sell and the bank has nothing OR you take your gold and run past the border. Real estate is about never otherwise going to be worth something (often increasing in value every year) and their hasn’t been a recorded case yet of someone taking a house cross-grained the border.

Right now the investment real estate market is thrifty like never once in history and those investing in it are bones rewarded more so then in any other time in.
