How To Get Started Investing In Real Estate
Real estate is considered an attractive asset class for those seeking steady cash flows and the opportunity to realize profits via asset appreciation over time. What’s more, investors often enjoy being able to see, touch, and feel their investment property, whether it be a duplex in San Francisco or a retail plaza in Charlotte. Its tangible nature and positive opportunities only heighten its appeal to the masses.
What Is Depreciation, And Why Is It Important?
Real estate investment is widely considered as an attractive asset class to investors around the United States for a number of reasons. Whether you own an office building in the central business district of Chicago, an apartment building in Charlotte, or a retail strip center in Orlando, real estate can offer attractive risk-adjusted returns. Given conscientious market selection and fluid operation, real estate has the potential to appreciate over time — allowing you to build equity as you reduce debt on the property or portfolio.
What Is FIRPTA?
When an individual sells property in the United States, they must pay taxes on that earned income. This tax applies to foreign investors who sell property in the U.S. as well. In fear that foreign investors won’t file tax returns, the IRS requires that a withholding tax be held — which can be thought of as an ‘advance tax payment.’ This requirement is enacted through FIRPTA, which stands for the Foreign Investment in Real Property Tax Act.
What Should I Know About Investing In Real Estate?
Investing in real estate is no easy feat. Despite the many glamorized television shows touting the seemingly “simple” process of buying and selling real estate properties for a quick buck, there is far more that happens when it comes to investing in real estate than these shows portray.

What Is Asset Allocation, And Why Is It Important?

When considering the sale of property and a 1031 exchange, we generally seek advice from trusted advisors during the initial stages.

What Is A Quitclaim Deed?
If you have ever purchased or sold real estate, you may have received or been granted a deed in the process. If it was a traditional transaction between unrelated parties, you probably came across what is called a general warranty deed, which provided you assurance as a buyer that the seller owned the property outright, or vice versa. However, it is possible that you have never handled or been issued a quitclaim deed.
