How Does Location Impact My Real Estate Investment?
Location, location, location. We’ve all heard it before and certainly the location of an investment property is a huge driver of the investment’s performance. While it may be easy to spot a “good” location, there are also some locational risks that are often overlooked. From the market the property sits in, to its location within a retail center, location is fundamental to determining why tenants, occupants, and customers are driven to a particular commercial or residential property. As you review and compare different real estate investment opportunities, here are some important factors to consider.

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. For one thing, investing in real estate takes a tremendous amount of research and due diligence, especially for investors who are considering buying a property that they are not entirely familiar with.
What Is Asset Allocation, And Why Is It Important?
Asset allocation is an important aspect of building a diversified portfolio.

However, as I was going through my own 1031 exchange, I realized that sometimes those trusted advisors may not be the most well-informed on a particular subject.
