Real Estate Investor Tip of the Day – June 4, 2012
Real Estate Investing offers two sources of profit: Immediate Return on Investment and Appreciation on the Investment Property. It is almost like buying a Growth and Dividend Stock. Better than that – if you have a long term fixed loan in the historic inflationary rent markets you should expect your Return on Investment to grow every year.
When looking at Investment Properties do you know how to determine Return on Investment? Project Long Term Investment Return? Do you know how to evaluate your Real Estate Investments?
