New Year Investment Plans (2022)

We suppose you’ve already thought through a couple of new things to get in line for the coming year. If you haven’t yet, here are a few suggestions on things to look forward to in the new year.

1. Real Estate Investment

As an advisory chat room, let’s start off the conversation gearing towards Real Estate Investment. In the coming year, we advise you to take on investing in real estate as the main resolution. Why? you may ask, pretty simple actually.

You do not need to have a huge sum of money to invest in real estate which is one of the most important aspects of an economy because let’s face it, everyone needs a home. If you truly want to transform your portfolio, grow your capital and diversify your assets, real estate is a great investment.

1. Diversify Your Assets

Diversifying assets in real estate helps you store up income in a lucrative market aside from the stock market. In this way, if the stock market should crash, you can always offset the capital loss with gains from the real estate investment. If you have never thought of investing your capital, think of starting now in order to grow your wealth and make your money work for you especially for a rainy day. Our advice is to start off small with real estate by buying a single unit and renting out to earn income on a monthly basis. As an investor looking for an increased cash flow system, real estate investment is for you. Most investments such as stock usually only generate income when the stock is sold off until then, you’re left watching and hoping your stock value increases and rather than decreasing. With real estate, on the other hand, you are likely to have a regular source of cash flow with tenants paying monthly rent. This money can be used to either improve your real estate portfolio by reinvesting or save for the future.

2. Benefits of Investing In Real Estate

• Tangible Investment

Now let’s discuss more concrete reasons why real estate is necessary. Real estate investments are tangible assets. You would always have something to show for ownership in regards to the property and can sell off your property whenever you decide it is no longer as profitable. Though selling off might take longer, you are still likely to walk away without making a loss as compared to investing in stocks.

• Appreciate in Value

Another reason to invest in real estate is that it is an investment that almost always appreciates in value. Though there could be rare instances of loss, investing in a home long enough increases the value you make on its sale. Improving the property as well can also increase the value the property appreciates by increasing your return on investments.

With real estate investments, there are options on what to invest in. You could buy undervalued houses, revamp them and sell them off, buy plots of land, build chain houses on and sell off or simply buy already built homes and rent off. These options do not limit you to a particular system for generating income.

These are just a few reasons why a real estate investment is a great resolution for 2022. If you’re in Ghana looking to make strides in your investments, look towards the real estate industry. Some industry leaders such as Devtraco, Manet Group, Buena Vista homes amongst others are trustworthy endeavours to invest in. So as you enjoy your Detty December celebrations, keep in mind your future matters. Make good decisions today to make for an easier tomorrow.
