Investing in appreciating assets is an excellent way to grow your wealth and earn a profit, provided you have the patience to wait for the long term benefits. Out of all the various investment opportunities, real estate can be one of the most lucrative. However, investing in real estate is not a decision to make lightly. It requires a good deal of capital and you need to have at least some idea of what you’re doing. Talking to experts in the real estate market is definitely a good idea if you’re interested in investing but don’t know enough about the market. Because real estate markets fluctuate on a regular basis, timing your investments is important. According to Business Today, the price of property in India has been appreciating over the past number of years; combined with the depreciation of the Rupee compared to the US Dollar, investing in the real estate sector has become much more affordable for overseas Indians. If you live and work outside of India, now could be an excellent time to invest in some property. If you live in-country however, you might need to tread a little carefully and really do some research to see if it’s worth the investment. One way to get some of the information you might need is to contact real estate agencies like Unitech Group. Regardless of where you live, here are some important tips to keep in mind when looking to invest in real estate.
Type of Property
When you first decide to invest in real estate, the first decision you need to make is to decide what kind of property you wish to purchase. Residential, commercial, and even industrial properties can be potential investment opportunities provided you have the money necessary. According to Realty Times, the range of different properties available in India has been increasing, allowing you to pick what kind of property you want and plan accordingly. Once you’ve decided what type of real estate you wish to invest in, you need to budget around that and can focus your property search more effectively.
Location
The old adage of “location, location, location” is still very much alive and true today. The success of your real estate investment can very heavily depend upon where the property is located. Ramesh Nair, the COO of real estate investment management company Jones Lang LaSalle told The Economic Times, “Investors need to establish the soundness of the location and its demand/supply dynamics. If they do not engage in sufficient research, they may end up buying into micro markets which have or will have high vacancies.” Investing in property without thoroughly researching the location can lead to disastrous consequences. Buying in bad locations can completely squander your investment.
Infrastructure
This is connected to the need for research on property location. Money Control states that some of the key aspects of property markets you need to investigate deal with infrastrcture. You need to check what sort of infrastructure is already there and functioning along with what sort of future growth and expansion might come to that particular market. The level of social infrastructure is important as well as it, combined with demand for commercial space, can lead to job creation as more businesses move into the area. According to Money Control, taking these critical market triggers into account provides a list of six cities where residential property investment could be most lucrative: Hyderabad, Bangalore, Chennai, Pune, Noida, and Navi Mumbai.
Diversification
Once again, the old adage, “don’t put all your eggs in one basket” still rings true. Investing all your capital into one location can work out, but if that one investment falls through, then you can lose everything. Diversification is just as important in real estate investment as it is in a stock portfolio. According to Nirrtigo, buying commercial property and renting it out can provide a good, steady cash flow; a lull in the market during retirement however, can spell disaster for your investment and your finances. Diversifying your investments can mean owning real estate and stocks or if you’re set on sticking to real estate you can purchase various differing properties. If your main investment is in commercial property, perhaps you should look into investing in residential markets or raw land. There’s nothing preventing you from investing in condos, apartments, and office buildings at the same time.
Market Fluctuations
The last but not least tip is to keep an eye on the market you’re going to buy into. Even if you’ve already purchased the property, keeping an eye on the market and trying to calculate the future market value of your investment is important. If it looks like the value might take a significant dip, then you might want to contemplate selling while you can make a profit and purchasing again at a later date. Realty Times highly suggests removing all doubts about property you want to invest in. If you have any questions or concerns about a property you are thinking of buying, then it’s imperative you contact the seller and clear up your concerns.
That’s right. Location is very important. For holiday rentals, for instance, the Mornington Peninsula in Australia is a good option to check on if planning to invest in holiday homes.
Thanks for sharing this! I definitely agree that it’s important to have a building that is in good condition. If you know the infrastructure of the building is solid, then you know the value of your property won’t depreciate too much. It’s also good to make sure that the building was well maintained before investing in it.
I agree completely with what you said about location. My grandfather owns a lot of different rental properties. The properties that are in bad locations are a lot harder to rent than some of the others. This is something I will keep in mind when investing. Thanks for sharing.
I have been wanting to make more investments to help me get some long term benefits. It is really helpful to get more information on how to invest well. I think that I first need to establish what kind of property I want to invest in, since there are so many options. I think that it would probably be best for me to invest in residential property. Now I think I should be able to look around and find something that will work for me. Thank you for the great post!
Pauline, this is just the information I was looking for about investment management. My husband and I have heard good things about it and have been thinking of trying it out. The tip about getting a good location seems like a good idea. We will have to keep that in mind.
You point out that investing in appreciating assets, such as real estate, is a great way to grow your wealth, and I definitely agree. It makes me nervous, however, because I don’t want to make a bad decision on the property that I do buy. The second suggestion you give to be conscious of the location of the property really caught my eye. I especially liked the advice give by Ramesh Nair that doing your research will help you to invest in the best property. This was very insightful information, so thanks for sharing!
I’ve always been a little wary of investments, since the minute threat of losing your money is incredibly daunting. However, it is a great way to build your finances and money stock, so I would at least like to try. Your advice to diversify when you invest in property and land seems like a was to ensure you are a little more safe than otherwise. The idiom “don’t put your eggs in one basket” is a cliche for a reason, right? What kind of properties would you recommend I invest in, speaking as a beginner?

Investing in real estate is something I’ve actually been thinking about for a little while now. It makes sense that you should diversify if you’re going to be doing that, instead of putting your entire investment into one place. While putting it all into one may fall through, it’s highly unlikely that everything will fall through if you’re spread out.

We really want to get into residental property investment. Our ideal location would be a local vacation hot-spot. But it’ll likely be a few years before we can invest, so for now we just need to research! Thank you for these suggestions.
I prefer infrastructure as a priority before investing in a real estate market because as long as you live or planning to give it on a lease the customer looks your infra first. Where as the location and price are the other terms to consider.

When it comes to investing in properties, are there in type of books that show investor business plans on how to get started? Reading the article has me wanting to know more about investing in some properties around my neighborhood. The thing would be to probably start out small and picking out a right location to start investing.
Excellent tips. The best advice for purchasing property is to thoroughly do your research and pay the experts to come in and inspect the property to ensure it is a wise investment before putting your money on the table.
Hello Pauline, Nice post to read about real estate investment, thanks to share property investment tips. I also dealing with India properties, please keep updating great ideas of property investments.

Great advice for investing in property! Research is important when buying property because you want to buy in the right location. You can find the perfect house but if it’s not in the right area, it could be a bust. Thanks for sharing.
While driving around, I’ve seen some signs requesting apprentices for investing in real estate. While investing in real estate can definitely be useful, I doubt it’s for me, since I have a family that would also be affected if the investment went bad. That being said, those who know how to play the market are at a huge advantage. Is it possible to invest in different kinds of property (commercial and residential, for instance), or is it always preferable to specialize in one type? Thanks.
Good tips. I have some experiend in that topic. I invested in a small condo and I can say that location is number 1. I have a good example of my friend, who bought cheap property far away from downtown. Now he has problem to rent it. That’s why I wanted to buy in a downtown and so far I had no problem to rent it. OK, it wasn’t that cheap but I think it was worth it.
Passion is contagious. If you are passionate about your product or services as compared to just wanting to “sell” a product or service, that passion will come through to the customer.
Real estate business ins all about acting wise and smart. Make clear plans & strategies and there you are earning huge profits.
And yes, great post buddy..!!!
I’ve thought about investing in real estate but I’ve never known a lot about it, but your post has given me great information to consider. I like how you brought up the type of property to invest in. Thanks for the interesting property investment post.
Thanks for pointing this out. I usually invest in residential real estate. I am considering commercial ones. I shall use this as a reference in my decision making in the future. Thanks for this informative article!
I am looking to invest in some property and don’t have much experience in this area. I wouldn’t have considered looking into the infrastructure and considering that one of the key aspects of property markets. It does seem very smart to make sure you don’t invest all your capital into one location.

I’ve pondered putting resources into land however I’ve never known a ton about it, yet your post has given me extraordinary data to consider. I like how you raised the kind of property to put resources into. A debt of gratitude is in order for the fascinating property speculation post.

I like they idea of having a property manager, because they can handle finding tenants and other issues. However, I also agree that landlords should visit their property often. Showing this vested interest in the property is a great way to show people that you genuinely care about what is going on.
Investing in a property is a big decision which requires, time, patience and of course right guidance.
The biggest thing that matters is that what type of property you are interested in exactly interested in.
The best option would be to look for a good and reputed real estate company or an agent who can help you in getting the right property on your budget and the type of locality you are interested in.
Your post is like a small guide which will help newbie in understanding the right methodology to find a good property, legally.
Good Post!!
I’m glad you talked about the importance of location when investing in a property. I have always heard that location is so important for real estate, but I like that you confirmed that it is still that way these days. My wife and I are currently looking to invest in a property, so these tips will really be useful to us when we get down to the details of the investment.
These are all good tips! “Location, location, location” stands out to me. It can make or break the investment!
You make great points about the need for research and for choosing the proper location for real estate investments. The way you connected the two, showing that the proper research will lead to the proper location selection, was excellent.
Hi,
I was really impressed by this article, I beleive that investment strategy is really one of the important factor when you are planning for an investment. It is a systematic plan to allocate investable assets among investment choices such as bonds, certificates of deposit, commodities, real estate, stocks.
Investments should be a part of your financial future, but unfortunately doesn’t happen on their own. Investment planning involves figuring out how to do the most with what you’ve got.
Thanks for being sharing..

Investing in a property will be risky without the proper guidance. main factors are location and infrastructure, by studying these two factors, it would be a great investment deal
Buying a rental property is essentially going into business. When the monthly income from tenants exceeds the amount you pay in mortgage, maintenance, taxes and other fees, you realize a positive cash flow in the short-term. Additionally, if all goes well, you will also realize a profit when selling the property. Doing your research as you look at properties and make your choices enables you to be as prepared as you can be for the ups and downs that you will face in managing your business. In fact, what you learn can make you much more successful in the end.
Wow, I never knew that they property in India has been increasing. I wonder what it’s like to live in India. I mean obviously it’d be very different from the U.S. My husband would prefer that we stay in America though, and I guess I would like that as well. All of our family is here, so I don’t see the need to go to a different country.
Hii,
The drop in real estate prices has made this time one of the best times to buy investment rental property. But if you don’t know what you are doing, rental property can turn into your biggest nightmare.
But I must tell You explained each and every point so nicely… I like your post very much. It will surely help most of the people.. keep posting!

Hi
I have read your post. Thanks for such a nice post, it’s really informational.
If we compared a real estate investment with other investments, there is a less risk in a real estate property. I will not get away from the statement that just likes any other investment you do; you are worried about of losing it. Real estate investments are usually considered a established and rich gainer, so long as if one takes it seriously and with full wisdom.
Keep Posting 🙂

Nowadays i think the top things to be considered with are location and type of asset. For example, we are doing a lot of investing in the Assisted living community, which was around or as popular as it is becoming. Trends is also an important thing to consider with you are buying and investing in assets, such as assisted living. I mention these because they potentially will have the greatest return on investment simply because they are so new. But if you are investing in single family or even multifamily type properties, Pauline, you are definitely on point.
Knowing your options before retiring on how you will spend your money would be a good idea to do.
