Why you should invest in Land?
Most people think investing in land is only for big-time real estate developers looking to buy large parcels of land for commercial development or the subdivisions of homes. What they don’t realize is that investing in land can be a very sound investment strategy and is a viable opportunity for most investors, both large and small.
So why should you consider investing in land, rather than an already improved real estate property like a single family home, apartment building, commercial structure or other improved property? Undeveloped land offers several investment advantages that can not be found in most developed real estate.
The advantages of investing in land…
-
Profit potential
-
Less associated performance risk
-
Attractive terms
-
Greater flexibility for maximizing value
-
Simple investment management
Regardless if you are looking for a real estate property for investment purposes, or as a site for a future home; investing in land is proven to offer a safer and higher potential return on your investment then any other financial instrument available today. Traditional investments (stocks, bonds, etc.) over recent years have seen average returns of 4-8%. In contrast, real estate and land investments could out perform if purchased correctly; with less associated risk.
Why Invest in Pre-Construction Planned Developments?
Real estate investors looking for land investment prospects are finding pre-construction planned developments to be a choice opportunity. Now with the real estate market in decline, many buying bargain opportunities exist. With the majority of land projects being in primary and secondary home locations, a smart investor gains the benefit of being in a desirable neighborhood location with only a small percentage of other investors (less tenants and more owners means more stability).
Real estate experts agree that the long-term outlook for the second home market is still strong; even stronger then the primary home market. So what is fueling this market for second homes, especially in Florida and the Carolina's.
The Baby Boomer Factor…
- Baby boomers make up an incredibly large % of our population; all moving towards retirement age over the next 15 years.
- About one half of these people have no intent on staying in their current locale when they retire.
- Even though many boomers are ill prepared for retirement, there is still a significant % with tremendous wealth; Todays Boomers possess 70% of the nations net worth.
- Many of these people want to live in places with good “lifestyles”, with 42% of them choosing the South Atlantic area for their retirement.
According to American Demographics Magazine, “The south is the center of a real estate boom of monumental proportions”. Searching for a warmer climate and a simpler way of life during retirement are their primary motivation. With close to 75% of potential retirees expressing an interest in moving below the 35th parallel, an estimated 50 million people could be moving to the south over the next 20 years.
It is this Baby Boomer demographic that is driving the growth and sales volume of second homes in the south. This marks a new and unprecedented era, as it is the first time in history we have ever seen this kind of significant shift in real estate buying patterns. As we are currently in the very early stages of this major demographic shift, the smart investors are taking advantage of this knowledge, purchasing now and have the peace of mind of a safe and reliable exit strategy when they want to sell. In addition, the smart investor will could experience stable appreciation during the holding period while reducing their overall risk by focusing on real estate purchases in the South East United States.
