12 Reasons Why Rental Properties Are the Best Investment

Itʼs no secret that I love rental properties. Sure, flipping and wholesaling properties might be fun. Notes and tax liens might have fewer tenants. The stock market might be more popular.

But rental properties are my true business love.

1. Ability to Purchase with Leverage

Rental properties are great because you can borrow the bankʼs or someone elseʼs money to increase the potential return. This is known as leverage. In other words, you donʼt need to have 100 percent of a propertyʼs purchase price on hand to be able to buy it. Rental properties allow me to buy large properties for far less cash than I might need to purchase

stocks or other investments.

2. Ability to Hustle for Greater Returns

Not only can I leverage my cash, but I can also leverage my time and

abilities to make magic happen in this game—something difficult to do

with other investments. In other words, I can hustle. If I want to do the work needed to rehab a property, I can do that. If I want to leverage my networking skills to raise money, I can do that instead. If I want to leverage my knowledge and time to find better

deals that provide an even greater return, I can do that.
