Real Estate – A Great Opportunity

Real estate has become a popular investment choice over the course of the last half-century or so. It is a very efficient way to strengthen the risk-and-return profile of an investor’s portfolio, offering competitive risk-adjusted returns. Generally speaking, the real estate market is characterized by stability and low volatility, especially when compared to the stock market.

Real estate is also attractive when compared with more conservative investment opportunities such as securities (bills, notes, or bonds) as it is a more tangible asset with more physical possibilities.

Compared to alternative investments and newer options such as cryptocurrencies, green energy, crowd investments, etc. real estate represents a proven and very solid choice. Success in real estate investing all comes down to 1) identifying the right investment opportunities and 2) managing the investments in a hassle-free way. This is exactly what we can help you with.

All proposed projects are located in growth markets where we expect real estate prices to increase. In general, we believe this provides the best foundation for a healthy real estate investment.

The potential returns on the properties we recommend to our clients does not only depend on rising real estate prices; many factors can influence the returns, including – but not limited to – the following: Location, size and usable space, age and condition, upgrades and additions, changes in local market conditions, various economic indicators and interest rates.

Another very important factor is the business model behind the real estate project. The projects we recommend to our clients are always based on well established business models, where we use local experts to leverage the full potential of the project.

Off-Plan Investing: Purchasing the property at a discounted price during the construction phase enables you to create a great basis for both short term and long term returns. Our off-plan investments require a minimum of effort from the client’s side as the rental part of all projects are fully managed after finalization.

Short-Term Buy and Hold: Buy and hold a rental property for a relatively short period of time – typically 1 to 5 years. In most cases the purpose of this strategy is to take advantage of the property appreciation (ie. adding value) by reconstructing, refurbishing, raising the rent, decreasing expenses, etc. or a combination of all of these options. The returns in a Short-Term Buy and Hold can be enhanced by purchasing the property off-plan.

Long-Term Buy and Hold: Buying real estate with the intention of keeping it for the long run. The benefits of this slower paced and more stable (yet very popular) strategy include rental income, tax advantages from depreciation expenses, continuous amortization of loans, and very high probability of price appreciation. The returns in a Long-Term Buy and Hold can be enhanced by purchasing the property off-plan.
