Is Investing In Real Estate Worth It? Consider These Things 

As an lnvesting enthusiast, I often wonder how top level investors are able to become millionaires off investing. . I’ve been sitting on over $545K equity from a home sale and I’m not sure where to go from here, is it a good time to buy into stocks or do I wait for another opportunity?

investing in real estate requires good experience and knowledge to carry out a good and successful investment.

I wasn't financial free until my 50’s and I’m still in my 50’s, bought my third house already, earn on a monthly through passive income, and got 4 out of 5 goals, just hope it encourages someone that it doesn’t matter if you don’t have any of them right now, you can start TODAY regardless your age INVEST and change your future! Investing in the financial market is a grand choice I made.

Real estate investors losing money is music to my ears. They are a major reason why the real estate market is the way that it is now.

Not in my experience. Finding a renter that actually pays their rent and doesn’t destroy your property (destroy is not an exaggeration) is akin to finding a family of unicorns.

I just am not a fit to dealing with people. Also, the laws consistently keep vilifying land lords (as if they are all greedy rich people) and taking away their rights and recourse options against people stealing from them or destroying their property.

I’m a small landlord/real estate investor. 3 properties. Let me just say. They are a f***ing headache. Tenants, repairs and managing them. Repairs hurt the most. The benefits of cash flow, principle pay down, appreciation, depreciation, equity what I’m after and the possibility of “financial freedom” It’s well worth it but there’s a price to pay which the points are endless and I’m not going to get into.

Cryptocurrency is the future investing in it now is the wisest thing to do now especially with the current rise

Beautiful and well explained. I have saved up a pretty decent amount and narrowed my investing options down to Stocks and Real Estates. Still having difficulties deciding which would be best given the time and where and how to go about this and would like a direct answer not a diplomatic one. A major deal breaker would be one which is less time intensive as I am a very busy person.

Is investing in real estate worth it? The short answer is yes. Like any investment, however, it has risks and it’s not a get-rich-quick scheme. It’s a slow and steady process. Unless you have the ability to pay for a property with cash, don’t expect much cash flow (if any) for quite a while due to mortgage payments. Regardless if you have good or bad tenants, you will have to deal with maintenance from time to time. Despite all of this, you’ll be building equity, learning new skills, and can even eventually hire a property manager to do most of the work. Once the property is paid for and is still being used as a rental, that will create pure cash flow.

When you invest in rental property, your asset is somebody else's home. That's a huge responsibility, not just in terms of time and money (screening tenants, answering the 3 AM calls to fix the leaky toilet), but also emotionally. If, for example, your tenant loses their job and stops paying rent, how are you going to feel about that? You could give them a break and let them stay - at great cost to yourself - or you could harden your heart and kick them out, and carry that on your conscience.

Great video! My wife and I own 2 commercial rental properties (storefronts on the town square). We paid both mortgages off in 2019 and both properties produce positive cash flow for us.

I think I heard the word if 100 times lol. IF your bad at screening tenant's, bad at identifying a good rental property, and bad at business then yes buying rentals properties isn't for you. IF your good at those things then you will be financially independent well before stocks could ever!

@Roger Austin is a bot/scam tread btw dont fall for these kinds of get rich quick scams. If it's to good to be true it mostly is.

Yes, as a former asset manager of some of NYC's biggest buildings working with a multitude of owners, YES, real estate is a great investment, but it does not come without intelligence, patience and more work than equities!

This was very one sided. He only seemed to focus on the negative possibilities.

With more government control over your property (rent control, eviction freezes) owning residential rentals is riskier than ever.

But seriously you learn as you go, I wish I would have had someone to teach me I learned some hard lessons. Here are purchasing tips. Don't buy a real estate owned property, especially without an independent inspector. Plumbing, Electrical, Roof, Climate Control are generally the most expensive items, have your inspector check these carefully, then adjust your original offer based on those findings. I bought a house with fuse box, iron pipe sewerage to the street, galvanized pipe to fixtures. 2k, 6k, 4k respectively. In the long run you will come out ahead, sure it can be a pain sometimes but generally it's not too bad. You do have to deal with some stuff, but not a lot and that shouldn't deter you. I'm the next 2 years I will have 3 units paid for it took about 8 years to get here. I buy raised shotgun style houses doubles or single family, rather the single family but the double make more. I will look for more after these are paid off as it's too expensive to buy now. 10% isn't bad for a property manager, but don't have any right now. I look to make a certain amount if I can't I move on. For me it's how long to get my down payment back ROI, within 5 years, yes I will buy.

Its always the same but it seems every generation has to relearn the lesson. You have inflation. The fed raises rates. Mortgages go up. Housing goes down. People slow down the purchase of goods that go into houses. Companies start to lay people off because business is slowing or there is fear of a coming slowdown. Layoffs continue until a recession starts, the fed lowers rates until unemployment goes back down. My stock portfolio over the last 2 years is massively down against my bitcoin using Thomas Fuller strategy. In my view Bitcoin has been one of the best holds during this uncertain market. My Bitcoin portfolio have been on a rise although the rates are capricious wiping out some of my profits i still have about 13.7' btc! worth of crypto assets. I can take a drop down to 20k and still be doing better than my stock portfolio.

Excellent breakdown of the pros and cons of real estate investing! It’s definitely not for everyone. But if Dunn right, it can result in life-changing wealth generation, much faster than any other asset class.

What do you think? Is buying real estate worth it or not?

"Aaaaaand it's gone."

Your analysis of real estate vs. stock market investing was very thorough and informative. You did an excellent job of highlighting the benefits and risks of investing in rental properties, particularly the advantages of leveraging and the importance of having reserves. I also appreciated your discussion of the challenges of obtaining rental property loans, especially for self-employed individuals and business owners. It's important to be aware of the requirements for qualification and to plan accordingly. Overall, your video provides a valuable perspective on real estate investing and the factors that investors should consider when deciding between real estate and the stock market. Thanks for sharing your insights!

It depends a lot on the country where you live. In Australia for example, investing in Real Estate is a No-Brainer, especially in a Medium to Long Term.

Its tonally worth investing in real estate.

The plan is to buy several rentals if silver will take a good run up as the economy resets perhaps next year. Hopefully that happens sooner than later. The real estate mkt here in Texas is still decent although inventory is increasing. What about finding assumables?

Investing in mini football pitch as a rental property with very little maintenance. The ROI is from 18-20% I can share a presentation if you are interested.

You definitely need a lot of capital to start it's like a super savings account with high risk for the rich.

Thank you for steering some people away from buying investment properties.... My next purchase thanks you....

i think it sounds INSANE considering all the laws that favor squatters plus all the people who are compulsive hoarders and drug addicts. .....what if the tenant is a psycho and he ends up chopping some people up in YOUR basement. you will lose so much money and the guy could even skip town and frame you for the murders.

Fuck real estate buy monthly dividend stocks and etfs.

So informative and entertaining also the animation is awesome🥰🥰🥰🥰

Invest in REITs instead.

If cannot handle it, find a property management company to look after the property. If you can afford 30% down payment for rental property, don’t bother. The rental property is still associated to risk. Shopping for deal with patience unless you want to flip the house when market is hot up trend.

Investing in rentals is not as great as people make it out to be. First is the massive down payment. Then all the expenses in closing. All the repairs and having to have to upgrade everything every decade or so to make it a desirable place to live. Will the tenet actually pay the rent or use the court system to live on your property rent free for the six months it takes to evict them. Then when you want to get out it there is the 7.5%+ cost right off the top to sell it for realtor commissions and other costs and closing fees.

It has to be said that as long as space remains limited, housing will always have value as a hard asset, so no matter when and where you begin investing you will see benefits, and even if the market's in a choppy state and you do see some minor losses, the lessons you'll learn throughout your investment journey will be worth the downpayment 👍.

I could probably net more in the short term by going hard on rentals, but I decided to fully focus on index funds. I only buy funds with a 25+ year track record and average annual RoR of 12%+. $15,000 a year for 25 years from when I started puts me sitting at 52 with roughly 2.5 million. I'll then be able to live on 100-150K a year with no debt and the gains each year should offset my spending. There is more than one way to skin a cat. If you're goal is to become widely rich, go real estate. If your goal is to enjoy your life with less headaches, and become free, go index funds.

also consider the people who rent the place, it isnt really ever pasive. If u think its no effort, u are gonna get rekt by some non-paying renters at some point, it's a matter of when rather than if. Thereby like u mentioned debt at this time with increasing rates is risky. Also morgates are a expense, if u would invest say in stocks, valuables or whatever it's actually pasive, that said the global market in general is unpredictable right now so invest at your own risk. Your channel is one of the few who set real expectations, most of YT right now screams buy tech stocks or borrow money and buy houses, but those investments are the most riskiest investments right now. Which will lead to being in recession without money, while u would rather have some for a rainy day in cash (not in banks). The point i'm trying to make is that a lot of people get the wrong idea about money and your channel actually helps people to improve in finances.

The diversification point should stop most people & if it doesn’t, levered investing should. Many easily see that buying stocks on margin is very risky, but it applies to real estate as well. I’ll own a few REITs to get exposure and forget all the headaches.

Worked for me.

If anyone wants to invest 3.5 millions in patent talk to me. It's a precaution against catastrophes.

I loved the way you presented this information - the graphics and visuals really helped me understand the topic better.

In the process of selling my last rental at 28 right now. Using leverage and forced equity is excellent when growing net worth, and ROE/ROI is pretty great is you buy right, but man is it slow. Never lost money even when buying in 2021, but I’m sure I missed out on great returned from the market. The main positive I can provide for RE is not being able to touch that cash so you don’t make silly mistakes. Oh, and ALWAYS screen or use referrals when looking for tenants.

You Roll the Profit into paying off the loan! Do 25% Down! Being able to decide when to buy and when to sell! Returns are much higher than stocks! They have been GREAT for me!}. But, know what your doing! It’s on you!

The housing market appears to be operating without brakes as home prices continue to climb-the national median listing price saw another double-digit increase in April, climbing to $341,600. in Even with April’s 19.1% jump from a year ago mortgage rates continue to tick up, and buyers are not backing down.

I wish I got lucky every time I spotted a three leaf clover.

This video just made wholesaling seem more attractive 😂

Tenants stop paying, oh you mean an eviction process

@chrisinvest Hi. Can you do a video on what to do with your retirement income. For example, you were able to save up 4M dollars for your retirement, Where would you put it in order to have a cash flow without losing your capital?

I love investing too and am very good at it, thanks for the info!

I bought a house in Michigan in 2012 and lived there until October 2017. Moved to Chicago for a better job but never sold the house. Had a tenant move in, November 2017. Had to kick them out by April of 2018 because they only paid the first 2 months of rent when they moved in. They never paid the utilities or internet either lol. By June of 2018 I got a brand new renter who is there to this day (11-20-22) and has been wonderful. Pays $1,500 a month on a house that cost $800 a month which also includes the association fee. Have had to pay probably $5,000 to $7,000 in maintenance but I have to say this has been a great investment and I cannot wait to buy another house someday. We will never get the $2,000 the first people owe me. Hired a lawyer and everything but we could not find them.

700TH LIKE! 😃

So far so good 🙏

Depends bcz only way u making passive income of those properties is if they are paid off
