Don\u2019t miss out on what could be your most profitable year, and learn why real estate is a solid investment.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Knowledge Is Power<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><strong>Your greatest tool in real estate is understanding the local housing market.<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> As a real estate agent, you\u2019re already in the know about all of the real estate trends in your area. This is a great advantage to have against other investors, simply because you have a head start on the research process that goes into finding the right property to invest in.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You know what property type and amenities are the most valuable for renters. So now when investing in property, you can quickly make the wisest decision and profile which property will yield the greatest reward \u2014 we\u2019re talking profits. Your competition won\u2019t be able to keep up your edge and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rentecdirect.com\/blog\/negotiate-in-a-sellers-market\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">negotiation skills<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Low Risk in a Familiar Market<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><strong>Real estate is a hard asset with intrinsic value.<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> In simpler terms, you\u2019re investing in an essential asset since everyone needs the property for a home or business. Prices can fluctuate in the real estate market but there\u2019s always going to be some worth in this investment. This is why it\u2019s a great low-risk option that you can bet on for the future.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You\u2019re at an even lower risk for loss on your investment as a real estate agent. Any fluctuation is already on your radar, and you\u2019re spending your days discussing the buying and selling process.You may also already know that <\/span><strong>investment property equals capital appreciation and equity growth.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Easy Financing With Valuable Connections<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Working with clients from around the world has certainly given me an edge in property investment. With hands in investment property and work as a licensed broker, I\u2019ve developed numerous connections that I realized could be used as leverage.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Use your real estate network to gain the following:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Financing<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Access to properties (even those off-market ones)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Assistance with legal matters<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Financing specifically can be a pain when you\u2019re a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rentecdirect.com\/blog\/new-landlord-investor-start-tips\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">first-time investor<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in real estate. Your average person doesn\u2019t know the ins and outs of private money lenders, conventional mortgages, FHA loans, and other concepts that happen to be your expertise. Through your network, you can also take advantage of financiers and lenders who most likely trust you over other investors.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your existing network also educates you on investing in markets outside of your own area. <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/manhattanmiami.com\/resources\/invest-in-real-estate\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Investing in real estate in popular cities<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> can be a great use of your own knowledge, your connections, and it can ultimately lead to consistent profits. Those in your network can advise on strategy and goals along with what type of residential or commercial real estate is your best bet.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Agents Need Not Apply<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your standard real estate investor is almost always going to seek out a good real estate agent to assist in buying a property. But guess what, you don\u2019t need one! Your own experience is all that\u2019s needed to close a deal, so you\u2019re saving a ton of money without those fees and commissions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Those <\/span><strong>commissions and broker fee savings lead to a better offer price.<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> If I just saved <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">$50,000 in commissions, I\u2018ve easily increased my return on investment.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tax Savings<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your return on investment is already reaching great heights. In addition to having cost savings as your own broker, you can also reap some significant <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.irs.gov\/publications\/p527#en_US_2012_publink1000219118\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">tax rewards<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> as well. Real Estate Agents are not subject to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thetaxadviser.com\/issues\/2017\/mar\/navigating-real-estate-professional-rules.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Passive Loss rules<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Losses are the norm for property investors since they can deduct something called depreciation, a non-cash expense that is used only for tax purposes. This is an additional expense to the typical cash expenses of a real estate investor such as property taxes, mortgage interest, broker commission, and insurance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Passive Loss Rules limit the amount of losses an investor can deduct from income. Since you are in the business of real estate and meet the criteria set by the IRS, the passive loss limits may not apply. This effectively allows you to offset your regular income with a non-cash expense of depreciation. This is a gift! It allows real estate agents to minimize their taxes in ways others just can\u2019t do.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Trust Your Instincts<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Why not take your knowledge to the next level? Real estate agents have a leg up as property investors, and you don\u2019t have to limit your profits to your day job. <\/span><strong>You can save hundreds of thousands of dollars a year if you turn your expertise into investment.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Being a real estate agent is worth the time and investment. You can see that there are numerous benefits to take advantage of as well as an enduring value. We luckily have many forms of income in the real estate business, and shouldn\u2019t miss out on the avenue that can generate the most income and the least amount of taxes!<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>RELATED READING FOR YOU:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rentecdirect.com\/blog\/new-landlord-investor-start-tips\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Top tips for Getting Started as a New Landlord or Investor<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a class=\"LinkSuggestion__Link-sc-1mdih4x-2 jZPuuT\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rentecdirect.com\/blog\/buying-a-rental-property\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">What to Look for When Buying a Rental Property<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a class=\"LinkSuggestion__Link-sc-1mdih4x-2 jZPuuT\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rentecdirect.com\/blog\/tax-tips-rental-deductions\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Tax Tips for Rental Properties &#8211; Rental Income and Deductions for Landlords<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You may be the most successful real estate agent, but you won\u2019t reach your highest potential and net value until you invest in your own properties.
