Real Estate - The Pros and Cons
from: Jay BauderThe Pros and Cons of the Real Estate Business
Real Estate Business: To be or not to be
Real estate business has been around for a good number of years.
More and more people are drawn to it because of the steady
influx of money. But there are things you have to consider
before entering a real estate business.
First you have to decide whether it would be a sole
proprietorship or through a corporation, partnership or trust.
Each has its own pros and cons. Let's take a look at them.
In a sole proprietorship, everything as sole describes, is
managed by a single entity. In terms of splitting the income, it
could be divided among family members that have a lower income
bracket. A lawsuit that may arise in the future regarding the
properties is held personally.
Corporation is a structured legal entity that consists of a
group of persons known as shareholders. Investments are high in
this type because investors are attracted to the built-in stock
structure. This type stays on the market for years until the
stockholders decide to split up, or merge with other
corporations. However, starting a corporation needs a lot of
money. Proper corporate formalities should also be followed in
order for it to be recognized as a corporation. A huge amount of
paperwork is also expected in this type. This includes reports,
bank accounts and records that should be updated from time to
time.
Partnerships are generally liable for one another. Though with
taxes, an individual may be taxed in terms of his individual
level. Administrative and compliance costs incurred through
partnership include legal, partnership agreements, accounting
and tax.
Trusts in some cases may be similar to a corporation, however,
unlike a corporation, trusts are not held liable to capital
taxes. And in case of losses, it remains within the trust and
could not be flowed out to the beneficiaries.
When you know what type of management to consider, set on your
priorities whether it would be land, apartment buildings or
rental apartments. Buying a land, like a broker, would be good
investments but one has to wait a long time waiting for the
value of the property to go up. However, you could get it for a
lower cost.
For rental apartments, it would be an easy start and a long term
return on investment but waiting for the pay-offs. Apartment
buildings mean triple-net income. It is because the tenants are
usually tied in a three-year contract. A drawback on this is a
vacant space for a long period of time. For every year that it
is not leased, it would mean a loss of income.
Real estate business is a vast. There are many things to
consider before playing the game. Take time analyzing on terms
and conditions that goes with it. In the long run, wisely made
decisions could bring in a lot of money and lesser problems.
