4. Losses
from Your Rental Property are Partly Covered by Tax Reliefs
Your
investment in rental property
offers an unique brand of protection benefits that are rarely found in
other investment types.
When
your mortgage payments and other property expenses such as property
repairs and utility bills exceeds your rental income, you will end up
with losses and a negative cash flow. The good news is that when it
comes to investing in rental property, these losses can be
counted as tax deductions against your taxable income.
Although
you are granted tax reliefs for your rental property losses, it's never
a good idea to use rental property investing purely as a tool for
minimizing your
taxes. Just like all other assets, investing in rental property
should make economic sense for you and bring in a positive net income.
5.
Property Values are Less Risky and Volatile Compared to Share Prices
Shares are
liquid investments which means you can buy and sell them
very easily and quickly. That's why compared to investing in rental
property, share prices can fluctuate very wildly - It is quite common
for the share price of a company to change as much as 5% in just one
day.
On the other hand, the property market is less volatile because a lot
of property investors view their real estate as long term investments.
Buying and selling properties also takes more time and effort - A
seller needs
to find the right buyer and the buyer needs to find a lender who is
willing to grant him a property loan.
When you are rental property investing, you share the property market
with a large pool of home
owners. This actually protects you from overnight market crashes and
massive sell outs that you see in the stock market. The reason for this
is that home owners tend to hold on to their own homes regardless of
the market condition.
6.
Regular and Passive Income from Your Investment in Rental Property
When
you compare the cash flow from rental property investing to other
popular types of
investments, your rental income tends to be a lot more frequent and
stable. Instead waiting for share dividends or bond coupons
that
only pay once or twice a year, you can expect rent from your tenants
every month.
Most rental property investors will receive rent from
their tenants every month. On the other hand, bonds usually
pay interest every 6 months while shares dish out their
dividends each year. If you are gunning for even more frequent income,
you can
have a week to week tenancy where your tenant will pay you rent every
week.
This benefit makes investment in rental property appealing
to people who require a more regular cash flow and don't want to tie
their money for a long time.
