18 Reasons to Invest in Real Estate

18. Serve Your Community by Providing Housing

In many of the more populous areas of the United States, there is a derth of affordable housing available in the city. This is especially true of many areas no the West Coast like San Francisco and near Silicon Valley. One way that you can serve your community is to purchase an investment property to make money from rent and appreciation, but keep the rental amount at affordable levels that still pay the mortgage. Even by maximizing the rent one can get, the community will still be served by having another home listed for rent.
