What Is an Investment Property?
Put simply, investment property is any piece of property that the owner doesn’t reside in and uses exclusively for tenant rental. In general, real estate falls into three main classifications:
- Primary Residence
- Second Home
- Investment Property
While a primary residence and second home are both, to some degree, lived in by the owner of the property, an investment property is held only for monetary gain through appreciation of the property value or rent money from tenants. Within the category of investment properties, there are three major types:
- Residential: This applies to any residential home that’s purchased as an investment property. While one or more tenants or families may live in the home, the home itself doesn’t produce income for the tenants – it’s used as a living space.
- Commercial: This applies to investment properties that are potentially income producing for the tenants. Examples include office space, retail store front space, industrial facilities, and the like.
- Multifamily: Multifamily investment property denotes apartment complexes or other buildings where two or more tenants live in the building. These are often the most attainable form of investment property, as an investor could start with a duplex and work their way up, but once the property crosses the threshold of having five or more living units, the regulation gets tighter and more complicated.
Benefits of Holding Investment Property
The beauty of purchasing investment property is that the investor sees a return on investment on two fronts: on one hand, the market value of the property can increase, which generates a return. On the other, the investor receives money in the form of rent payment, which effectively acts as a reliable monthly return on investment. While the laws surrounding investment properties can get complex, they’re often an attractive investment in which to store money.
