Investors frequently ask themselves:
- When do buy-to-let properties become profitable?
- What profit does one make from real estate?
- At what point do properties become worthwhile?
- What is meant by passive income?
- How is real estate income taxed?
- Are property investments conservative assets?
- How do other people help me build wealth?
- How do tenants and the tax office pay off the flat?
- How do owner-occupied and rented properties differ?
We answer these and many other questions in our video blog episodes.
Here is the transcript of episode 5 to read through:
Real estate is a very conservative investment. That means you have constant security, a regular yield, and property as a tangible asset provides an inflation hedge. When you put that together, you already have a few good reasons why property is worthwhile. But the best advantage of a property is: it's the only investment that you can buy and then someone else pays for it for you!
That is the idea of property income: you buy your investment property and someone else pays for it for you. If you go to the bank and set up a very worthwhile ETF savings plan, that's a great investment, but you have to pay for it yourself. Moreover, the return on a property is usually incomparably higher, because you buy a property, but other people pay for it for you, namely the tenant and the tax office.
And that also differs from a property that you use yourself. Because when you buy an owner-occupied property, you have to pay everything off yourself.
