Can I Invest in Real Estate for A College Investment?

Did you just have children, or are planning on having a child in the near future? If so, you may also be thinking about how you’re going to pay for their college education, and investing in Real Estate is one of the best ways to pay for your children’s college education without breaking your bank account.

Why Real Estate Is a Smart Investment to Pay for College

Let’s face it, over the last 15 years, Real Estate has been a great investment that’s seen awesome appreciation compared to stocks or other investments that lost significant value after the recent economic collapse between 2007-2008.

At Fred Sed Realty we’ve had many clients over the years who have invested in Real Estate for their children’s college educations because it’s entirely possible to generate positive cash flow from a rental property on a monthly basis and have that property paid off in 16 to 18 years, just in time to sell it and pay for a child’s college education.

What About A 529 Plan?

Yes, you can set up a 529 plan to save money for your child’s college education but what happens if you have more than one child?

Will you be able to save all of the money that you need to pay for your children’s college educations? If the answer is no, then you should consider investing in Real Estate in Southern California or elsewhere in the United States because the demand for rental properties is only expected to grow within the next 18 years because more people are choosing to rent instead of buy homes.
