Are you thinking of buying a house? Do want to be a homeowner or you are planning to rent it out? You first need to sure about you want a home or you want an investment? This article is all about for those who want to invest on the property but doesn’t know if the home should be where you live, a rental property, or if it can be both simultaneously.

What is a Good Investment?

A good investment is something that will return you more than you paid for it.  An asset is something that helps you get money in your pocket. A liability is anything that takes out all your money from your pocket. So, is your home a good investment? It is very important to understand whether your personal residence is an asset or a liability? Is the situation like every month you are paying the mortgage, insurance, property taxes? Despite, after the house is paid off you are still spending money maintaining the house and paying your taxes and insurance. Then this house is still taking money out of your pocket and this is a kind of liability. Your house is productive and might look like good, but the fair play is locked up in the home. So, if you are in financial need, you either need to re-mortgage or sell the house and then you are back to having mortgage debt or looking for a residence to live.

Buying a house is always accepted a good investment because:

1. Sometimes properties prices increase adequately for people to make wealth.
2. House is something you can see palpable and people like palpable investments.
3. People assume that they are getting enough wealth by living in the house, and also anything they sell is an added bonus.
4. Parties’ like-real estate agent, attorney, bank etc. gets the benefit and therefore, they want you to buy and sell your property as often as possible.

There are factors that decide whether buying a house is a good investment or not, such as:

1. The cost of the house. It shouldn’t go out of your budget at all. Buying a home that puts you in debt isn’t an option
2. The rent that you have paid for the house (for those cases like, if you have rented it instead of buying it).
3. The selling price of the house with the present market rate.
4. The negotiating cost involved: as because buying and selling aren’t easy.
