The "People's Choice" for investment property

Why invest in real estate? Here's just a few good reasons

• Consistent returns. Over the long term, real estate has shown a consistent growth in value, even when some other investment choices were less stable.
• Forced savings. Contributing towards a mortgage automatically forces a family to save. Rather than paying rent, these monthly payments contribute to future security.
• Appreciation. According to the Edmonton Real Estate Board, a home purchased in January 1997 for $123,530 now sells for $167,000.
• Tax-free profits. When your home is your principal residence, and you sell it, you will not pay tax on any of the profits.
• Equity increase. The difference between what is outstanding on your mortgage and what your home is valued at, is your earned equity. You could use this equity to obtain additional financing, obtain a second mortgage, or move-up to a larger home.

Real estate is still a viable investment that offers excellent returns and security. Over the long term, there are few downturns. Your return could be substantial. Properly cared for property will almost always appreciate in value.
