And that\u2019s a pretty good thing to bet on. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wallstreetzen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/2246559455-3d805f96a9.png\" alt=\"2246559455 3d805f96a9\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Real&nbsp;estate is still widely considered one of the best asset classes because it grows at a steady rate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unlike stocks, crypto, or ETFs, there\u2019s a real, tangible item underlying it: a building or piece of land. Unless the building burns down or the land gets swallowed up by a sinkhole, there will always be <em>some<\/em>&nbsp;value there, whereas a stock can quite literally just go poof. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Beyond that, as long as there are people, they will always need a place to live \u2014 it\u2019s one of the few constants in the world. Over the past hundred years, lots of things have come and gone, from Betamax to Myspace to Dogecoin, but people have needed places to live and work the whole time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ready to learn how to get into real estate investing? Let\u2019s get to it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h.cshi7y3kaahc\"><strong>How Does Real Estate Investing Work?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When you invest in real estate, there are two primary ways you can make money: property value appreciation and charging rent. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Investing in real estate with a property value appreciation strategy functions pretty similarly to stock investing: you buy a property at one price and sell it at a (hopefully) higher price for a profit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you simply buy a property and wait for the value to appreciate, that\u2019s called a buy-and-hold strategy. It&#8217;s the same principle as a stock buy-and-hold strategy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, when you invest in real estate, you can do things to increase the value of the property, while with most other investments, you\u2019re entirely at the whims of the market. For example\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>House flipping: <\/strong>You can buy a rundown property, fix it up yourself, and sell it for a much higher price. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Wholesaling: <\/strong>If you\u2019ve ever seen a sign that says \u201cWe pay cash for houses,\u201d you\u2019ve encountered a real estate wholesaler. These investors try to find sellers in difficult situations that need to sell fast, pay them under fair market value for their home, and then profit off a sale at fair market value. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Renting: <\/strong>Buy a property, rent it out to tenants, and collect monthly rent payments.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>These four strategies are all part of direct real estate investment. But there\u2019s another type of strategy that falls under the umbrella of indirect investing. We\u2019ll get to that in just a little bit. But first\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n    <div id=\"callout-box-block_552762dc4aaed1e8e010dc3b347a196f\" class=\"callout-box info\">\n        <div class=\"callout-box__icon-wrapper\">\n            <svg focusable=\"false\" class=\"callout-box__icon info\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n                <path d=\"M12 3c-.46 0-.93.04-1.4.14-2.76.53-4.96 2.76-5.48 5.52-.48 2.61.48 5.01 2.22 6.56.43.38.66.91.66 1.47V19c0 1.1.9 2 2 2h.28c.35.6.98 1 1.72 1s1.38-.4 1.72-1H14c1.1 0 2-.9 2-2v-2.31c0-.55.22-1.09.64-1.46C18.09 13.95 19 12.08 19 10c0-3.87-3.13-7-7-7zm2 16h-4v-1h4v1zm0-2h-4v-1h4v1zm-1.5-5.59V14h-1v-2.59L9.67 9.59l.71-.71L12 10.5l1.62-1.62.71.71-1.83 1.82z\"><\/path>            <\/svg>\n        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"callout-box__content\"><p>Curious about investing in apartment complexes? <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wallstreetzen.com\/blog\/apartment-building-investing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Check out this article<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The 5 Steps for Starting in Real Estate Investing<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re wondering how to become a real estate investor, here are 5 steps you can take to build your own process. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h.8jli4kpnqet6\"><strong>1. Determine your investment strategy.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The first thing you need to do is figure out what approach you want to take with your investments\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Do you want to flip houses? <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Do you want to purchase a multi-family property and make rental income? <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Or do you want to take a more passive approach and invest in REITs?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, you might combine several different strategies into one. But it\u2019s also a good idea to have one overarching strategy that guides you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, you can profit off property value appreciation even if your primary strategy is rent collection. However, you would approach the investment differently than if your primary strategy were&nbsp;to buy and hold. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s important to keep in mind that there is no one \u201cbest\u201d strategy \u2014 the best strategy is the one that suits your particular talents, risk tolerance, and financial goals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h.jcdt8rawq9sx\"><strong>2. Learn as much as you can.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>It may be a clich\u00e9, but knowledge is power. The best way to figure out how to become a real estate investor is to read as much as you can, listen to podcasts, and watch interviews and videos with successful real estate investors. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wallstreetzen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/0ae35c5bfde05837ff7ab277ddc46276.png\" alt=\"0ae35c5bfde05837ff7ab277ddc46276\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>But don\u2019t think that learning just means book learning \u2014 getting out in the field is important too. Personally reaching out to investors, going to viewings, and learning home improvement skills (especially important for house flipping) are important for making sure your theoretical knowledge can be practically applied. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h.svvg40x8nv8n\"><strong>3. Study your market.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Unlike other markets, real estate is highly regional. That means that the exact same property could have wildly different valuations if it were moved from one city to another. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Each regional market is essentially its own game, and you need to learn all the best plays and rules of thumb: how fast do properties usually sell? What\u2019s the fair market value for a home of a particular size? What\u2019s the average rent?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately, learning all this isn\u2019t as simple as reading through a manual or a playbook. Instead, you\u2019ll need to spend some time doing your own market research: looking through statistics online, visiting homes, etc. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Eventually, you\u2019ll not only have a good analytical understanding of the market, but you\u2019ll also come to have a feel and intuition that can help you make the right decisions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h.8317pc9uzngd\"><strong>4. Get access to capital.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the hardest step for many aspiring real estate investors. While you can start investing in some stocks for just pennies, to invest in real estate, you\u2019ll usually need at least a 20% downpayment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the St. Louis Federal Reserve, the median home price in the United States in Q1 2023 was <a href=\"https:\/\/fred.stlouisfed.org\/series\/MSPUS\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">$436,800<\/a>. To purchase a property at that price, you\u2019d need to put down $87,360. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But that\u2019s just the start of it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>If you\u2019re flipping a property, you need enough money to cover all the renovations.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Even if you\u2019re renting or buying and holding, you\u2019ll need enough capital to pay for any sudden repairs that spring up along the way. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>I do have two resources for investors looking for capital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First, if you&#8217;re looking for a lender for an investment property, check out <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wallstreetzen.com\/go\/stessa-mortgages\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Stessa<\/a>. It&#8217;s a pretty impressive platform. First and foremost, it&#8217;s dedicated to property management, acting as an all-in-one hub for everything from creating a lease to screening tenants and collecting rent. But what many people don&#8217;t realize is that you can use the platform to connect with lenders who specialize in loans for investment properties. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Right from the app, you can get the ball rolling on a loan for your investment property. It&#8217;s pretty handy because once you have the property, you can then manage it right from the same platform. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another great lending resource? <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wallstreetzen.com\/go\/upstart-lenders\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Upstart<\/a>. While they don&#8217;t focus on home loans, they offer something just as important: loans for home repairs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wallstreetzen.com\/go\/upstart-lenders\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"2000\" height=\"854\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wallstreetzen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/real-estate-investing-2000x854.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18862\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wallstreetzen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/real-estate-investing-2000x854.png 2000w, https:\/\/www.wallstreetzen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/real-estate-investing-768x328.png 768w, https:\/\/www.wallstreetzen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/real-estate-investing-1536x656.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.wallstreetzen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/real-estate-investing.png 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>If you plan on renting an investment property for the long haul, chances are you&#8217;ll need to deal with a big repair at one point or another. Upstart is an all-digital lender with flexible loan amounts between $1,000 and $50K, so you can choose the amount most appropriate for your repair. You can also personalize the loan term between a 3 and 5-year period, depending on what works best for your current situation. Their online process is simple and a lot faster than going through a big bank or traditional home repair loan provider, so you can get things fixed faster. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4>What if You&#8217;re Not Ready to Buy an Investment Property Yet?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>For aspiring investors on a budget, crowdfunding and REITs are usually an easier way to break into the market since they don\u2019t require as much of an upfront investment \u2014 you can get started for as little as $10 with platforms like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wallstreetzen.com\/go\/fundrise\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Fundrise<\/a>&nbsp;(more on that in a minute).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-white-color has-text-color has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wallstreetzen.com\/go\/fundrise\" style=\"background-color:#446bca\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Check out Fundrise<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h.ej8itsu4pgb7\"><strong>5. Learn the local real estate laws.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>In step three, we mentioned that real estate markets don\u2019t come with a playbook. But they <em>do<\/em>&nbsp;come with a rulebook: the law. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can try reading through the regulations on your own, but it\u2019s likely you won\u2019t have the full context or understanding of the law without having a lawyer there to explain everything to you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For that reason, a good real estate attorney on your side is essential for any real estate investor \u2014 you\u2019ll need to deal with lots of contracts, tenant disputes, and all sorts of other legal issues along the way. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h.t4gzqbr28a4y\"><strong>2 Ways to Start Investing in Real Estate:<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When figuring out how to become a real estate investor, there are two ways you can go about it:<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wallstreetzen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/preview16.png\" alt=\"Preview16\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h.4yk1muz1ouh3\"><strong>1. Direct Real Estate Investing<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Direct real estate investing means that you personally purchase, rent, renovate, and sell properties to make profits. It\u2019s a very active process that requires a lot of time, research, and upfront capital. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Direct real estate investing is very similar to running a business: you need to stay on top of your profit margins, expenses, operating costs, marketing, and more. It\u2019s not a set-and-forget investment strategy by any means. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Pros and Cons of Direct Real Estate Investing<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pros: <\/strong>Direct real estate investing is good for investors that want to be deeply involved in the investment process. It offers the most control over your investments: you can choose exactly which properties to invest in, how to renovate them, how to price them, what to charge for rent, and how to market them. To sum it up:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Offers the most control over your investments<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Can be a fun and exciting process<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Teaches you a new skill along the way, so you can become a better investor over time<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Cons: <\/strong>The flip side is that greater control means greater responsibility. Plus, there\u2019s a higher likelihood that you&#8217;ll make mistakes and lose money. It\u2019s very easy to make bad investments, especially if you\u2019re new to investing. To sum it up:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Total control means it\u2019s easier to make mistakes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Time and energy-consuming process<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Can take years to learn the ropes<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h.y3b6fxmne9yp\"><strong>2. Crowdfunded Real Estate Investing<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Chances are you\u2019ve already heard of crowdfunding in other contexts: it\u2019s a popular way for companies to raise money for their projects by using the Internet to ask a large number of people (the crowd) for investments. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a real estate context, an investment company will ask people to contribute funds that will go towards purchasing and maintaining an investment property. Then, the investors will get a percentage of the returns. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Crowdfunded real estate has become increasingly popular recently. Aspiring investors can find crowdfunded investments with apps like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wallstreetzen.com\/go\/yieldstreet\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Yieldstreet<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wallstreetzen.com\/go\/fundrise\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Fundrise<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wallstreetzen.com\/go\/arrived\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Arrived Homes<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For instance, the latter \u2014 Arrived Homes \u2014 offers both accredited and non-accredited investors access to fractional shares of single-family rental property investments for as little as $100. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wallstreetzen.com\/go\/arrived\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wallstreetzen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/arrived-share.png\" alt=\"Arrived share\"\/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-white-color has-text-color has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wallstreetzen.com\/go\/arrived\" style=\"background-color:#446bca\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Check out Arrived Homes<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Pros and Cons of Crowdfunded Real Estate Investing<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pros: <\/strong>Crowdfunded real estate investing offers two main advantages over direct real investing: you don\u2019t need as much money to get started, and it\u2019s a passive investment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some crowdfunded real estate apps allow you to get started with as little as $10, which is impossible with traditional real estate outside of a miracle or an inherited property. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With crowdfunded real estate investing, you are investing in the real estate company that will maintain the property \u2014 or in some cases, a fund that manages a portfolio of properties. You often own a piece of a specific property, but you won\u2019t be the one maintaining it, charging rent, etc. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That means that you can treat it like a passive investment, but you\u2019ll also sacrifice control. To sum it up:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Lower startup costs<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Passive investment<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Invest in experienced real estate firms instead of doing it yourself<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Cons: <\/strong>However, if you want to learn the ropes yourself or you\u2019re an experienced investor, sacrificing control is usually not desirable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Something else to consider is that some platforms require you to be an accredited investor to get started. However, not all crowdfunding platforms have this requirement, so you\u2019ll just need to pick one that you\u2019re eligible for.

If you want to go the direct real estate investment route, you\u2019ll need to drum up a lot of cash, study hard, and usually invest a lot of time in property management. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you prefer investing in real estate more passively, crowdfunded real estate investments are a great alternative. These alternative investments can get your feet wet in the real estate market without having to invest the same amount of time and energy into the process. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, how does real estate investing work? As this article shows, there are many different ways to go \u2014 choose the direction that suits you best. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\t\t<div class=\"wp-faq-schema-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2>FAQs:<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wp-faq-schema-items\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3>Is real\u00a0estate investor hard?<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>As a real estate investor, you can make your investments as easy or as difficult as you choose.
