There are so many apartments for sale these days that it almost seems like no one is building any apartment buildings anymore. In fact, with interest rates being what they are, in some cases, owning an apartment building and paying towards your own place is more affordable than paying rent!
Apartments are a great investment for people who would like to own property that generates income and provides nice tax deductions. You can usually deduct all the costs of maintaining the apartment building, plus you get to depreciate the building giving you additional tax benefits. Apartments are especially great for people who are handy at doing maintenance and upgrades.
When an apartment is managed properly and has good quality tenants, it is virtually worry-free and extremely low-maintenance for the proprietors. Be sure to either hire a qualified property manager to manage the property, or do complete background checks before signing tenants to long-term leases. Tenant eviction can be a long and costly process. If you have the equity to leverage an investment property loan, buying an apartment building often is a very wise decision.
