Just 4 Ways to Make Money in Real Estate

As a real estate investor, are you looking to make money?  When it comes to income property, there are four ways to make money.  The four basic returns are:

1.  Cash Flow

2.  Appreciation

3.  Loan Amortization

4.  Tax Shelter

I am not saying that every income producing investment property will provide these returns in equal measure, but you are sure to get a mixture.  Some investments may even lack one or more.  For example, one property may give you a good cash flow; another may yield little or no cash for years but offer a great return when you sell one day (appreciation).  The decisions you make in real estate investing will depend on your personal goals and the strengths of these returns.  If you understand them and how to calculate the---you are well on your way to success!
