What makes real estate a worthwhile investment? If you’re like our investors, you likely have more than one reason to value a real estate portfolio. What’s so compelling about real estate investment is that you do not benefit in only one or two ways for your efforts.

Real estate has been a wild ride this year. From predictions of a market crash to the unexpected frenzy of market activity, it’s been anything but predictable. Real estate investors have had to cope with their fair share of concerns, too. 

This week’s Transformation Tuesday comes from Dallas-Ft.Worth, Texas! This single-family home stood out as a unique asset in the neighborhood. With its two-story floor plan, stone fireplace, and outdoor deck, it had a lot to offer. However, the home had suffered from neglect over time, so our expert team of contractors renovated it back into a modern masterpiece.

It’s been a strange year for real estate. That much is evident, given how many of us expected tough times as the pandemic began to take a true toll on the nation in the Spring. We watched the market sharply contract as homes were pulled from the market and activity came to a standstill.

Why do you invest in real estate?

Because real estate is a high-return asset class and a hedge against inflation, many would say that they invest for retirement.

We’re all after that level of financial freedom — one that allows us to tackle the unexpected without having to sweat and use our wealth to enjoy life on our own terms. Whether you’re looking to make an early or sustainable retirement or to build wealth for your family, real estate has long been a part of the equation.
