Real Estate 101: The Different Types of Real Estate Investment

July 17, 2020 By Cade Hildreth Leave a Comment

Are you beginning to dip your toes into real estate investment, but you’re not sure where to start? Do you have a future dream of earning passive income and gaining even more financial independence? You’d be surprised to learn that there are a variety of real estate investment avenues that don’t just involve becoming a landlord.

5 Types of Real Estate Investment

Read on to learn all about the different types of real estate investment you can get involved with today!

1. Fixer-Uppers (Fix and Flip)

If you’re a novice to investing in real estate, this is one of the most appealing options for you but also one of the most difficult. The name of the game is to purchase cheap properties that are in need of some major renovation, then contract the work and hopefully flip it for a higher price. You also have the option of keeping the property for rental revenue.

This isn’t recommended for complete novices because you need to have a good idea of the local housing market. You’ll also need to have a reliable crew composed of:

  • An experienced appraiser
  • Title and settlement company
  • Skilled contractors

An appraiser will help you discover problems in the home that you may not have noticed. This can help you determine whether it’s even worth renovating.

According to Attom Data, homes in the third quarter of 2019 created a gross profit of $64,900, about 40.6% ROI. Home flippers take about 177 days from buying to flipping the home.

Just remember, the profit from fix-and-flip houses that are owned less than a year get taxed as active income at federal tax rates that can go as high as 37%. In contrast, profit made from properties held for one-year or longer benefit from much lower capital gains lower tax rates of only 0 to 20%.

2. Long-Term Residential Rental Properties

As we look at the different types of real estate investments, owning rental properties is probably one of the most common ways to earn passive income through real estate investment. If you own a building with four units or less, this is considered a long-term residential rental property.

With this approach, you’ll be able to enjoy the passive income of renters turning in their monthly rents. Even better, you can take advantage of tax benefits as your property depreciates.

However, you also need to become a landlord when you own rental properties, and this means keeping the building well-maintained and making sure you conduct the proper background checks on your renters.

You do have the option of hiring a property manager that can make your life far easier, but they typically take a percentage fee out of your monthly rent for their services.

3. Commercial Real Estate

Commercial real estate investments come in several different shapes and forms. These can include:

– Housing units with more than 4 units – Most commonly, these are multi-family apartments.

– Mobile home parks (MHP) – Communities of people living in mobile homes who rent sections of land with electrical and water connections.

– Industrial properties – Properties that are rented by companies who require industrial capacity for storage, shipping, manufacturing or other types of industrial applications.

– Office properties – Properties that are rented by companies who require office space. For example, an HR firm, dental office, law firm, or medical practice would rent this type of space.

– Retail properties – Properties that rented for retail purposes. Retail is defined as the sale of goods to the public for direct use (not re-sale).

– Income-Producing Land – In some cases, land that produces income can qualify as commercial real estate investment. Examples of this would be pay-to-park lots, land with mineral rights, pastureland, timberland, and recreational land.

3. Vacation Rentals

Vacation rentals can be an intelligent approach if you have a good idea of the area your rental is in and its nearby amenities.

Owning a vacation rental means your taking a step into the hospitality industry, so along with having a well-maintained, clean building, you also need to provide vacationers with the items a hotel would normally provide such as:

  • Towels
  • Beautiful interior decor
  • Freshly laundered linens
  • Umbrellas
  • Coffee maker
  • Cooking utensils
  • Television
  • Internet access
  • Access to washer/dryer
  • And more

Vacation rentals give you a lot of flexibility because you have the option of renting out your own home or second home while you’re on vacation. However, the vacation rental industry is highly competitive, so you’ll need to find ways to make your property stand out.

You also need to be prepared for renters who don’t follow your rules and make it harder to clean up the property when they’re gone.

4. Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs)

If you’re not ready to invest in a property or deal with the everyday hurdles of maintenance and renovation, then a real estate investment trust might be an option for you. This allows you to invest in shares of companies that own real estate.

With this approach you can enjoy substantial dividends, because REITs need to return a minimum of 90% of their taxable income to shareholders every year. You also won’t find yourself trapped in mortgages or feel the need to sell your property in order to get access to cash.

You have the option of easily selling your shares on the stock exchange if you’re ever in need of cash.

The downside of this approach is that you won’t benefit from the tax advantages traditionally associated with real estate and you can’t leverage your money — that is, use a mortgage to control a larger asset than you could purchase for cash.

It also means that you’ll be trading one paper asset (money) for another paper asset (shares of the REIT), which I don’t prefer to do. As often as possible, I prefer to store and multiply wealth in form of hard (tangible) assets.

5. Crowdfunding Platforms

Crowdfunding platforms are similar to real estate investment trust, but they can bring you higher returns and also higher risk. On many platforms, you’ll need to be an accredited investor. In the United States, this means:

  • Your net worth is at least $1,000,000 excluding primary residence value
  • Income of $200,000 each year for at least two years
  • Expectation to make $200,000 in the current year

If you’re not accredited, there are other platforms that allow unaccredited investors to invest with them on untraded REITs, meaning they’re not traded on the stock exchange. An example of this is the real estate fund, Fundrise.com. It is an e-REIT that does not require you to be accredited and requires a minimum investment of only $500.

Similarly, Cardone Capital is a company that got approval from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to open two real estate investment funds to unaccredited investors. It requires a minimum investment of only $5,000.

The downside of crowdfunded real estate is that you may need to invest your money for a manner of years. Meaning, your investment won’t be as liquid.

Remember that many of these crowdfunding platforms are relatively new, so it’s important that you do your research beforehand so you find a reputable one.

Types of Real Estate Investment for Passive Income

Now that you understand the different types of real estate investment, you know there’s no best type to pursue. It all depends on your experience with real estate, your expectations, how hands-on you want to be during the process, and whether you need your investments to be liquid or not.

For instance, if you need frequent access to your cash, then a real estate investment trust would make more sense than managing a rental property. However, if you have experience in your local housing market and are willing to roll-up your sleeves, then flipping homes or operating long-term rentals could earn you a good chunk of change.

⚠️ UPDATE: Arkansas' Republican governor on Mo ⚠️ UPDATE: Arkansas' Republican governor on Monday vetoed an anti-transgender health care bill that would've prohibited physicians in the state from providing gender-affirming "procedures" for trans people under age 18.Gov. Asa Hutchinson told reporters that he killed HB 1570 because the bill "would be and is a vast government overreach" and because it would've created "new standards of legislative interference with physicians and parents as they deal with some of the most complex and sensitive matters involving young people."Had the governor approved it, Arkansas would've been the first state in the nation to outlaw gender-affirming health care for trans youth, according to the American Civil Liberties Union.The governor also predicted during his remarks that the state's Republican-controlled General Assembly "will likely override" his veto, noting it takes only a simple majority to do so.Leave a “👏🏽” to show support for Governor Hutchinson or share your thoughts below. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️Source: CNN

✅ #WorkoutTip: If you’re looking to get a more ✅ #WorkoutTip: If you’re looking to get a more developed and defined chest, a quick bar change from traditional barbell to Swiss Bar can help you hit new muscle fibers and supercharge your gains! 🔥💪🏽Why is this? 🤔1) As you can see, it switches your grip from horizontal (your grip on a straight barbell) to parallel. This rotates your entire arm, including the position of your elbow, shoulder, and all of the attached muscle groups.2) It lets you choose from a wide variety of widths. In this example, I choose the second from the middle grip, but you can work from extremely narrow to really wide.3) The balance/loading of the Swiss Bar feels extremely different than a straight barbell, so your accessory muscles get recruited to work extra hard throughout the path of the lift.Of course, if you add a pause at the bottom of the lift as the Swiss bar touches your chest, it can also increase the difficulty of the lift and introduce a new stimulus.Have you tried a Swiss Bar before? Let me know below... 👇🏽

Looking to add lean muscle mass while dropping bod Looking to add lean muscle mass while dropping body fat? 💪🏽🔥If so, you’re simply not going to beat the BIG compound lifts like the deadlift. 🔥🔥But, since the traditional deadlift puts a fair amount of strain on your lower and middle back, what should you do if you’re training multiple times per week? 🤔The answer? 👀1. Mix Up the Stimulus — The Hex Deadlift shown here is one of my favorite options, because it allows a more upright torso. This both lets you lift more weight and displaces some of the load across your hips and lower body.However, if you can’t access a Hex Deadlift bar at your gym, then you can use a normal barbell to do a...... Sumo Deadlift (wider stance)
... Deficit Deadlift (deeper range of motion)
... Or other variation of your choosing2. Vary Your Rep Range - In this video, I demo a higher rep range of 20 reps. In general, higher reps are associated with greater hypertrophy (muscle size growth).Higher reps will humble you because you’ll have to use less weight, but the muscle gains you experience will make it worth it!3. Amp Up Recovery - The two most powerful recovery tools you have at your disposal are food and sleep. So, how to best use them to your advantage?Consume whey protein and rapidly digestible carbs immediately post workout—and if you went heavy in your workout, then add a casein protein shake before bed too.Then, eat a full meal within approximately an hour of finishing your workout. Focus on consuming protein and carbs, while going lighter on fat.For sleep, nighttime is your anabolic period (i.e., when natural muscle recovery and growth occurs).So, get to bed either at or before your usual bedtime, keep the room ultra dark, and keep it cold enough that you need to be under the covers or you’ll end up shivering.I wear an @ouraring sleep ring and can confirm from personal experience that timing, temp, and darkness all have a huge effect on your sleep quality!Which tip are you going to try first?

To all my trans, nonbinary, and gender-expansive s To all my trans, nonbinary, and gender-expansive siblings:💙 You are valid.
🤍 You are worthy.
💗 You are loved.Thank you for becoming who you were born to be, because you inspires others to be their true selves too.Always remember: Courage is contagious.Happy #TransDayOfVisibility—
From @qchristianorg:Being visible is important for the movement. For the individual, being visible can mean being one of the 20% of trans people who experience homelessness or the 25% who have been fired because of their gender identity.It could make you one of the 44 trans people who were killed last year for being trans.Being visible means risking rejection and abandonment, facing erasure in the name of religious freedom, being ridiculed, mocked, bullied and misgendered intentionally.It can mean being one of the 41% who, because of all this, attempt to end their lives.
