The lasting value of real estate

Real estate investment for the purposes of renting will be as of much interest to people who already have a main residence as to those who - not yet in a position to buy the home of their dreams - want to build their real estate investment at a gradual rate in order to sell, long term, and turn a profit.

Real estate is a safe investment, which safeguards and diversifies a well-constructed portfolio. Some solutions are even suitable for people who may have modest savings and/or little inclination to get involved in the administrative work required of a landlord.

At a time when building up assets and cash ahead of retirement has beome a key priority, the purchase of ones own home (or ones future retirement home) becomes even more fundamental.

Buying to rent

The objectives of buying to rent are various, and include adding to ones revenues, building up a capital sum by using the rent received to repay the loan and/or reduce the amount of tax paid. Buying to rent is something which should be approached carefully, as it tends to tie the investor in for the long term.

Tax advantages

Unlike other types of investment, buying to rent brings with it some very attractive tax benefits which help to enhance profitability. Certain tax mechanisms can also be taken advantage of to finance the purchase. A range of regimes exist, perhaps the best known being the "Robin recentré" and "Borloo populaire". Some of these schemes apply to new-build, others to pre-owned real estate, in particular the "Loi Malraux" law.
