Why investing in the real estate industry a wise choice?

Real estate business is a popular investment option that has been around for ages. It is known to provide a stable source of income, capital appreciation, tax benefits, and portfolio diversification. In this article, we will discuss why real estate business is a good investment and what factors to consider before investing.

Why Real Estate Business is a Good Investment

  1. Stable Source of Income: Real estate investors can generate a steady stream of passive income from rental properties. Unlike other investments, real estate income is not subject to market volatility.
  2. Appreciation of Asset Value: Real estate properties tend to appreciate in value over time, resulting in significant capital gains for investors.

  3. Tax Benefits: Real estate investment comes with a host of tax benefits. The IRS allows investors to deduct expenses such as property taxes, mortgage interest, and maintenance costs from their taxable income.

  4. Diversification of Investment Portfolio: Real estate is an excellent way to diversify an investment portfolio. By investing in real estate, investors can spread their risk across different asset classes.
  5. Control Over Investment: Investing in real estate gives investors greater control over their investment. They can actively manage their real estate investments by making improvements to the property, raising rents, and controlling the overall value of the property.

Factors to Consider

  1. Location: Location is a crucial factor in real estate investment. Investors should consider the proximity of the property to amenities, transportation, and job centers.

  2. Market Trends: Investors should also research market trends in the area they intend to invest in. Understanding the current and future market trends can help investors make informed decisions.

  3. Property Condition: The condition of the property is essential when investing in real estate. Investors should inspect the property thoroughly before investing and ensure that it meets their standards.

  4. Financing: Investors should consider their financing options and choose the one that best suits their needs. They can use their savings, take out a mortgage, or partner with other investors.

  5. Potential Risks: Real estate investment comes with risks, such as market fluctuations, natural disasters, and unforeseen expenses. Investors should have a contingency plan to mitigate potential risks.

In conclusion, real estate business is a good investment option that provides a stable source of income, capital appreciation, tax benefits, and portfolio diversification. To invest wisely, investors should consider various factors such as location, market trends, property condition, financing, and potential risks. By doing their due diligence, investors can reap the benefits of real estate investment and achieve their financial goals.

Post Covid effect on the Sri Lankan property market: What to expect

Post Covid effect on the Sri Lankan property market: What to expect

covid 19 4992201 1280 768x513 1

Real Estate and construction are a breadwinner in the Sri Lankan economy and has a massive supply chain connecting small to medium enterprises in Sri Lanka and is a key industry that creates a number of job opportunities. As a result of the restrictions imposed to contain / minimize the health impact from Covid19 the industry had to take a toll as the safety precautions imposed came at a great expense of property developments coming to halt, unemployment in the industry skyrocketing. The effect of Covid for Sri Lankan Real Estate has been a hot topic in the Real Estate News in Sri Lanka as there had been continuous unprecedented challenges causing severe disruptions both socially and economically.

At Global Housing and Real Estate (pvt) LTD the past two years has been a rollercoaster journey and something we haven’t experienced or anticipated being in business for almost two decades. As per our market analysis experts the extent of the impact and the progress to recovery will all depend on how the virus progresses and currently this is the most crucial and uncertain factor in the equation thus, the uncertainty remains on the trajectory of recovery in economic activity.

Even though the real estate is identified as one of the Best Investments in Sri Lanka currently it is anticipated that there will be potential delays in all investment activities in the months to come. Predominantly owing to the constant fluctuations and uncertainty in the market. As a ripple effect of the lock-down and limitations in financing there is an evident slowdown in the developments, constructions, and the engineering sector.

We are constantly evaluating options on how our activities can resume to gradually return to a new normal where health and safety of the workforces will be a priority. However, ease in restrictions might not be the only factor holding the industry back as we rely on countries such as China, India for raw materials. 

Therefore, post pandemic recovery for the real estate and development market requires a lot of planning, anticipation and will depend on local and global covid impacts. The constant fluctuations and uncertainty is likely to impact on our prevailing cost structures, limited manpower and constant changes to our development timelines.
