Episode Breakdown
The number one reason real estate is preferred over stocks is… cash flow. By observing other doctors, Peter realized quickly that he wanted to ensure that he wasn’t reliant on clinical income to take care of himself and family. By using the income of his day job, Peter funneled a large portion of it into real estate investments. One investment at a time created an income to buy his time back.
The second reason real estate is preferred over stocks is… inefficient market. Historically, the stock market has increased in value year after year, at an average of 7-10% annually. However, the world of real estate is very much an inefficient market. This means that although real estate prices seem to be dictated by the overall market, in reality, many investment property values are not bought and sold at their true value.
Leverage is one of the most powerful aspects of real estate investing. You’re able to control 100% of an asset by only using a small portion of capital. Then you use the bank’s capital for the rest. However, as an investor, you get 100% of the upside of the investment.
Investing in real estate brings many tax benefits. There are several incentives put in place by the government to encourage the holding of real estate. After all, it serves a need by providing housing, jobs, and revenue for local governments.
