Association in the financial world
Another option is to form a partnership or become an investment partner with other real estate professionals who are actively investing in real estate.
A) Form your own association and do all the work: finding and negotiating deals, raising funds from friends and family. This will require a full-time commitment, as you will not only be running businesses, but also taking care of fundraising. Typically, you're expected to pay 6-10% of your investment, unless you need to take out large loans, which can cost 12-20%, plus possible profit-sharing deals.
B) Syndicate: invest your money in the hands of a real estate professional who will be in charge of finding opportunities and raising funds. The syndicate earns most of its income through fees. However, those who invest in this model are often less interested in the potential upside of the investment.
The downside of this model is that the syndicate must sell the property on a specific date in the future, which can be problematic during periods of downturns in the market.
C) Profit Sharing Partnership/Cash Flow Formula: This is the option we offer at Pro Financial Group. This model differs from the previous ones by offering extraordinary opportunities to minority investors.
Here are the top four benefits of investing in real estate:
Stable Demand: Real estate offers a service for which demand is not affected by the economy and may actually increase during downturns. Predictable cash flow: Rentals provide a stable cash flow, regardless of fluctuations in the real estate market.
Appreciation in Value: Real estate tends to increase in value over time, providing the opportunity for additional return.
Positive leverage: By investing with debt, the return on investment can be amplified.
It is important to note that real estate involves significant costs and is often acquired through loans. In addition, depreciation of real estate can offer tax benefits with a tax rate of 25%.
