In today's world, apartments have quickly gained popularity as an efficient solution when it comes to picking out living space. They have become so popular, that apartments have quickly become a popular investment opportunity – here's a look at 5 reasons why this is.
When it comes to investing, reliability and consistency are the two traits all the experts look for – and there a few investment options that are as reliable and consistent as apartments. And this isn't exclusive to a particular kind of apartment either – whether it's a serviced apartment out near a vacation spot or if you're living in Colombo and eyeing establishments like TRI-ZEN – you can't exactly go wrong. The reason for this is that there are guaranteed sources of income each month via the rental payments you'll be receiving. What's more, real estate investments are generally secured through leases that span multiple months. Of course, all this also means that banks are more than happy to provide funds to real estate investors!
If you've been looking into the real estate investing market, you'll quickly realise that residential real-estate investments are continuing to thrive while commercial ones are beginning to dwindle. The reasons for this become quite clear if you look into residential trends and the demographics associated with them. In short, property markets are shaped by how people want to live and plan to. In regards to Sri Lanka – the population is on the rise and sooner or later, all of these new people will be wanting a place to call home.
One of the factors that have led to the popularity of apartments – and by extension, the popularity of investing in apartments – is the convenience factor associated with them. Now, it's already established that Sri Lanka's population is growing and that the demand for residential real-state is on the rise because of it. The thing is, as people look for new places to live, they will undoubtedly be considering factors like ease of access and the availability of amenities when making a decision. Real-estate developers are well aware of this, of course – and so, most apartments today are found in the middle of commercial hubs, being only a short distance away from schools, restaurants, shopping precincts, and other such locations. What's more, the most prominent apartments are kitted out with an array of amenities and security systems. Simply put, a modern apartment is an attractive product for a growing market that's on the lookout for living spaces.
Residential real estate investments are somewhat special when it comes to investment classes because of the value placed on the hard assets that come with the whole package. Think of the land and the structure that comes with the apartment complex – these generate income all on their own and their value will only appreciate with time.
A wise investor is prone to say that it isn't the money you make that matters, it's how much of it that you get to keep! Residential real estate investing offers several key tax benefits which include deductions in bank loan interest and operating expenses. All in all, this makes an attractive investing opportunity even more appealing.
