The term “real estate investment” can be intimidating. It brings about a vision of boisterous, powerful New York City tycoons. Does that sound like you? Probably not. Don’t count yourself out. Real estate investment can be practiced on a smaller scale and still set you up with prosperous retirement savings and better private wealth management.

Multiply Your Money through Real Estate Investment

One of the 12 main principles of infinite banking is “Multiply.” By that, we mean get your money working. Saving your money in an unmoving pile is not a practice we endorse. If you’ve invested your money, it’s being saved while also working for you. Investing in real estate is a great way to put your money to work.

Real estate investors look like you.row of real estate

First, let’s bring your visual of a real estate investor closer to someone who looks like you. Owning one small home, renting it out, and using the rent to pay the mortgage makes a person a real estate investor. Also, owning one small apartment complex, renting the units out, and paying the property loan and fees with the rent makes a person a real estate investor.

The owner can manage the property or use extra income from a higher rent to employ a management company. At the end of the day, rent covers all expenses while also paying down debt and gaining a property asset for you. Once the mortgage is paid off, a part of the rent pays expenses, the rest goes in your pocket, and you own a piece of real estate.

Buying one or two pieces of property early in life and getting them paid off by retirement can form your entire retirement plan. It is important to consider periods of time that property may go without having residents which, before the mortgage is paid, will leave you paying an extra bill. After the mortgage is paid, you’ll be left without part of your income each month the property is empty. With proper savings and other investments, real estate investment can be a strong plan to get you investing.
