Why Invest in Ottawa Real Estate?
Solid Reasons for Investing in Real Estate
Stock Market Volatility: As we’ve seen in the last several years the stock market is extremely volatile and unpredictable.
Long Term Equity: Investing in Real Estate is often a good way to build long term equity.
Supplemental Income: Investing in Real Estate may enable you to supplement your income for large expenses like education of your children or savings for your own retirement.
Diversify, Diversify, Diversify: Good financial planning involves using many financial products. Real Estate may be a good means of diversifying your portfolio.
Low Barriers to Market Entry: Owning a small business can require hundreds of thousands of dollars in start up costs and personal assets. An investment property may require as little as 15% down on the value of the house. This may satisfy your desire to become self- employed.
Robust Rental Market: Ottawa is one of the fastest growing cities in Canada and has a very competitive rental market with less than 5% vacancies. (Based on a recent Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corporation’s quarterly review)
Help reduce your taxes: Claiming property related expenses and the interest on the mortgages may help offset the taxes owned on your regular source of income.
However, as with any investment, it is important to take all the factors (both positive and negative) into consideration when making your decision.
