When you want to turn your money into wealth, there are a few definite ways to do that. Investing in mutual funds and stock markets is obviously number one. So many apps and websites can help you with it. However, if you are looking for more than one way to grow your money, here’s another: real estate.

If you are an entrepreneur, you should invest in real estate more than anyone else because that will diversify your income. That way, your net worth will only increase. If you are not a businessman and you are wondering whether investing in property is a good idea, let me tell you three substantial reasons why you should.

1. Value never goes down

Probably one of the few things in the world whose value will never go down. With time, the entire country is developing, not just the cities and the suburbs. So, once there’s suitable connection and infrastructure, you can expect people to shift to the urban sites. And when that happens, prices of lands, apartments, and houses will only go up. As the economy grows, property value will see better days.

So, when you are choosing to invest in a property, it is best to select an underdeveloped place. There are cities and areas in and around your state where metro railway construction has begun, and a few offices have opened up — take your bet and go for it. In the next five years, you will bear the fruit of the decision as you can give the place out on lease or sell it, earning you profits.

2. A steady flow of income

The share market is a volatile palace; values dwindle, and only when you are a seasoned player will you be able to handle your trades properly. That is not the case for real estate; when you give it out on lease, you will earn a certain amount per month. Property rental income can provide a consistent source of cash flow besides your business or your paycheck.

You can use some of your earnings to pay the down payment and take a loan for the rest.

Then pay off the loan using the rent you gather. The asset value of real estate provides perpetual security because its prices will never go down. Long-term real estate investing makes you financially secure. Unfortunately, the share market cannot guarantee.

3. Advantages of taxes and deductions

Rental income is not subject to tax payment if the Gross Annual Value (GAV) is less than INR 2.5 lakh, which is a huge relief. There’s reduced tax on mortgage interest, insurance, maintenance and repair costs, and even property depreciation. Once you invest for the long term, you are bound to get a diminished tax price.

Consistent tax deductions from your real estate investments come in handy for you to keep more of your hard-earned money. So, it’s a win-win situation for all.

It should also be noted that giving your house on lease is not the only way out. You can now collaborate with companies like Airbnb and give your space up to accommodate tourists and visitors. It is also a material asset that can be passed down to your children and grandchildren. In an emergency, you can sell your asset at the highest price and liquefy your wealth.
