Here at Equimax Property Group, we work daily with real estate investors, who generally have different salaries. One of the most common concerns we find among investors at the bottom of the income scale is that they are concerned that they cannot afford to invest in real estate without a large amount of disposable income. .. But this cannot be far from the truth. Anyone with an average income can start building a portfolio of investment properties.

Do Your Research

When people start investing in real estate, we often see them trying to choose real estate based on emotional connections rather than financial forecasts. This is perfectly fine if you are buying a private home, but if you are buying investment real estate it can be very harmful. Instead of choosing a property because you fell in love with a beautiful glass door, you need to look at the property from an investment perspective. They may not be as beautiful as the home you buy yourself, or may not be in an area you know, but if the home is in a functional and good location and the right part of the ownership cycle, It may be incredibly beneficial as an investment property.

Get A Mortgage

Another common mistake among middle-income investors is to think that they need to save a lot of deposits to buy real estate. You may qualify for a mortgage with little down payment. Remember that your tenant pays you monthly rent, and you can use it to pay your mortgage. In many mortgage transactions, it is also possible to repay only the interest on the investment property. This keeps the cost of finding a tenant low.

Use Your Fairness

If you have stocks in your home, you can borrow those stocks to buy your first investment property. Once you have built stock capital on your property, you can borrow it to buy additional properties. In this way, you can start building your real estate portfolio regardless of your income level and without affecting your salary. Reducing existing real estate mortgages will give you even more equity to work with to buy future real estate. When some of your property is fully liquidated, the rental income you generate gives you passive income that can help you retire for the day.

Don’t Wait

The biggest mistake new real estate investors are making is accepting barriers to entering the rarely-existent real estate market. The longer you wait, the more rental income you lose and the longer it takes to build your real estate portfolio. Start a conversation with industry experts (copper agents, mortgage brokers, accountants) who have a history of editing investment real estate portfolios for middle-income investors. Income is usually a person, not a disability.
