Many investors have a real estate position in their portfolio. By adding other real estate investments can help you diversify your portfolio and protect you from stock market volatility. Below are investments we have engaged in over the years.
Rental properties are the most hands-on option in this list. You buy a piece of residential real estate and rent it to tenants. Many rental properties are rented for 12-month periods, but shorter-term rentals through companies such as Airbnb (NASDAQ:ABNB) are becoming more popular as well.
This method of investement can be considered difficult and risky, but profitable. The two most common ways to flip houses are to buy, repair, and sell, or buy, wait, and sell. In either case, the key is to limit your initial investment with a low down payment and keep renovation costs low.
Property management is the daily oversight of residential, commercial, or industrial real estate by a third-party contractor. Generally, this role take responsibility for day-to-day repairs and ongoing maintenance, security, and upkeep of properties.
RELPs are structured similarly to hedge funds, where there are limited partners (investors) and a general partner (the manager). The general partner is typically a real estate business that takes on all liability.
RELPs are a more passive investment in real estate. Typically, the general partner sets up the partnership and recruits investors to be limited partners. Investors then receive a K-1 to report income on their taxes, but they don’t have much influence in operations.
