About Buying
A common approach is to purchase an income-producing property such as a single-family home, an apartment building, an office or retail building or farmland with the intent to rent the property or units within it. By having tenants, investors benefit not only from any appreciation over time but also the rental cash flow. There's also some inflation protection because as operating costs increase, rents can increase as well.
Location will always impact the value of any piece of real estate. In residential properties, the health of the local economy and school district are necessary considerations. Meaningful due diligence is also required on commercial properties; leases usually span longer than a year, and research on current tenants is a must.
