Acquiring Building Lots The Safest Way!
Buying land used to be the most likely and preferred purchase that real estate investors made, but in recent years many have started to doubt the safety of land purchases. There are a few guidelines for investing in land and they are easy to remember and apply.
The first rule to remember is that if you own real estate the "right way" then it is always a safe and good investment. In other words, using your cash will help keep your bottom line stable and secure, without putting your assets on the line. To have a home that is paid off is the utmost in stability and mental ease, because you do not have to worry about the possibility of losing your property. I realize this is not an option for most people, so maybe consider it as an ideal more than anything else. For those whom this strategy is a possible or realistic one, real estate is the safest place to store your cash, and avoid being taxed on it.
Keeping your real estate that is free of debt as rental or income properties is a great way to compile a source of income that is always there when you need it. If you earn a six figure income and want to avoid paying the full amount of taxes on it, you can reduce your tax liability on your net sheet by buying real estate. Using your tax money to purchase real estate, instead of simply paying it directly to the IRS, is easier than you might think, and will effect your net sheet in such a way that you will actually pay less in taxes. You tax professional can explain all of the ins and outs of using your income in this manner.
Buying building lots for investments can be more risky because their is an over abundance of inventory in most U.S. markets, due to overzealous lenders and developers during the boom earlier in the decade. Waiting on the extra building lots to be absorbed into the market may take time, but as soon as it happens the market will be a good bet again. With the long term in your plans, buying building lots and holding them is a great idea, and only if you can do it without involving the bank, otherwise stay away from them for a few more years.
I advise people to buy with any means, other than bank financing, due to fees, interest and other prosperity killers. You can even start a partnership with a local builder to build income housing on your lots and split the money, to begin to establish a positive cash flow on lots that otherwise would not be paying you much if any income. - 23159
