The 4 BIG benefits of investing in real estate are:
1) Cash Flow - This is your spendable income after deducting all operating expenses and mortgage payments from rental income received.
2) Loan Amortization - With each mortgage payment you make, your loan balance is reduced and your equity increased.
3) Tax Savings - Investors are allowed to take a depreciation deduction for rental properties. By taking this deduction, the taxable income from the rental property is further reduced.
4) Appreciation - Over time,real estate generally goes up in value.
When combined, these four factors can create a great amount of wealth.
