Maximizing your earnings involves purchasing products that offer significant long-term value. While it is not always ideal to keep all your money in a savings account, as current inflation rates often surpass most bank interest rates, investing might be the best option to make your money work more effectively for you.
A good way to invest your money is through real estate. Whether you are a first-time investor or someone looking to diversify your investment portfolio, buying a parcel of land is healthy to add to your list of assets because a property is tangible but can also be a liquid asset if you need it to be.
Like any investment, there are pros and cons to buying real estate such as the struggles of working as a land owner and an uncertain guarantee in cash flow. But buying a stand-alone lot helps mitigate those risks. Here are some reasons why a lot for sale may be the best investment you can make in 2024.
High Rewards, Low Cost Unlike forms of investment such as stocks, cryptocurrency, and mutual bonds that are volatile in nature, real estate steadily appreciates over time. For first-time investors, a stand-alone lot offers an excellent opportunity. Its value grows at a rate of three to five percent annually, and this appreciation is further fueled by the development of the surrounding area. Nueva Ecija, with its rapid urbanization, presents strong potential for real estate investment. Moreover, purchasing land is cost-effective compared to buying a house and lot, as the cost per square meter is reduced.
Flexibility and Potential Uses Owning a piece of land provides flexibility. You can explore various options based on your goals. Consider building a single-family home, a duplex, or a row house. Rent it out for passive income or use it as an asset for your future dream house. Regardless of the lot size, constructing a residential option for end-use or lease is always worth considering.
Camella Santa Rosa offers a variety of prime residential lots, allowing lot buyers to tailor residences that match their lifestyle and preferences.
Additionally, land value inflates over time. Some investors follow the ‘hold and sell’ strategy—buying land in rapidly developing areas, waiting a few years, and selling it based on the appreciated value. Others flip their lots, purchasing with flexible payment terms and selling outright with a significant markup. The versatility of land makes it a profitable investment.
Low Maintenance and Effort Stand-alone lots require minimal upkeep. Construct a fence and keep the grass trimmed for a presentable appearance. Unlike houses that demand constant maintenance, land remains relatively straightforward. As someone whose time is always occupied, you will appreciate the time and effort saved while still benefitting from yearly appreciation.
