Investing in Real Estate in Morris County New Jersey

Of the more than two-thirds of Americans who own their own homes, a significant portion have seen them appreciate in recent years. Real estate, after all, is the typical limited resource and you simply can't go out and make new land. So it seems natural that its price would keep going up and up.

There are many beneficial reasons to invest in real estate:

  • Real estate values usually continue to rise during an unstable economy.
  • Property can have a higher yield than bonds and other stable investments.
  • Depreciation of property and deductible expenses may lower your taxes.
  • Rents have historically increased at a steady rate.
  • Rental income can be used to offset expenses.
The potential for income, appreciation and possible tax savings makes investment property especially attractive. But it is important for you to get professional advice before you decide to buy investment property. You may want to start with a personal financial advisor who can help you set your investment goals. Smitha can then help you select a competitively priced property that meets these goals and can answer questions about why a particular property would be a solid in-vestment. What features would make it easy to rent? What kind of maintenance expenses are you likely to incur? What will your cash flow be, and how will the tax savings affect your bottom line?

No one can guarantee that you will make money by investing in real estate, but many people have found and continue to find it a solid way to establish an investment income that will appreciate in value over the long term and often pay off annually in substantial tax savings. While it is hard to predict how much a particular property will appreciate, Smitha can give you the history of price trends in our market area.
