Why Add Real Estate to Your Portfolio?
Diversifying your portfolio with Real Estate provides stable income and wealth growth, without the roller coaster volatility of stocks.
Lower Volatility
Housing is far more stable than stocks. Over the last 50 years, housing dropped only 7 times (average -4.3%) compared to stocks dropping 10 times (average -14.2%).
Strong Total Returns
Historical housing delivers 3-5+% price appreciation plus 5-10% rental income, generating impressive 8% to 15+% total returns annually.
Tax Benefits
- Defer capital gains using 1031 Exchange.
- 2Deduct 20% of rental income using QBI.
- Reduce taxes using Depreciation.
Leveraged Growth
Unique to real estate: A 25% down payment provides 4x leverage. This means 3% price growth becomes a 12% return on your investment—before rental income.
Diversification
De-risk your investments as housing markets move independently from stocks, providing protection during market downturns.
