Profitable Real Estate Investments in 2019

In 2019, many investors want to diversify their portfolio or seek new asset ventures. Experts agree that real estate is a great way to start.

If this seems daunting, there are many ways to begin with hands-free commitments. These options put your money into real estate without having to deal with enormous responsibility. In addition, there are complex properties that hold more room for potential growth. On the other hand, these may be more of a time commitment for you.

2019 has been a great year for this type of investment. As a result, we have compiled some of the best real estate opportunities this year. Use our expert-compiled market research to help you decide which option is best for your asset portfolio. Care homes, ETF’s, and commercial properties are all valuable assets.

Care and Retirement Homes

This emerging real estate market has been on the rise for years. A massive subset of the population is aging into this market. The huge rise in elderly citizens has not been met with an equal rise in care homes. This means that there are boundless opportunities to get in on the ground floor. UK care home investments are high yielding with a low threshold for entry. This is the perfect option for a hands-free, separately managed property.

One huge benefit of this option is that there is so much variety among care homes. Luxury care homes attract high-paying patients, meaning you stand to gain more in rent and property value.

Set Up an ETF

An ETF, or exchange-traded fund, is one fund that holds several stocks or bonds. They have low costs and are easy to manage. Many investors are looking to diversify their accounts but don’t have the time to manage a property. In this case, an ETF is the ideal solution.

The benefit of an ETF is that it allows you to include real estate in your portfolio without having to take on the responsibility of property management. Even in cases where a property manager is hired, these can be massive time commitments. An ETF skips over the hassle and takes you right to the benefits. An ETF is a liquid investment with low cost, which is incredibly rare. This allows you to have a stake in the real estate asset class without needing massive capital.

Commercial Property

Unlike residential properties, a massively profitable investment in 2019 is commercial property. This refers to office or retail buildings, industrial buildings, and even warehouses. These properties are a bit more hands-on in terms of management. The income potential though is much higher than a residential.

Tenants are also, on the whole, easier to manage in commercial properties. This is because the majority of these tenants are businesses rather than individuals. They will operate during set business hours, meaning no late-night maintenance calls.

In order to keep in good standing, they are more likely to cooperate with rules and regulations. This clientele makes a world of difference when your time and money is on the line.

The Bottom Line About Real Estate

Real estate is one of the best opportunities to invest your money in 2019. However, that doesn’t mean you can enter the market without doing your research.

It is important to do your due diligence and examine which of the options is best for your finances. Whether you opt for a care home, ETF, or commercial property, there are many opportunities for your money to grow exponentially. Consider your options carefully before deciding how to invest – it could mean the difference between risk and reward.
