Why do many people not invest in real estateβeven if they can afford to?
Most of the time, itβs simply because they were never exposed to it.
If you grew up in a family where no one invested in property, you probably saw things like:
β’ Saving money in the bank
β’ Buying gadgets or cars
β’ Spending on travel
But buying a property as an investment was never really discussed.
Your friends may also be the same. If none of your friends invest in real estate, the topic rarely comes up. So the idea of owning property for investment never becomes normal.
Example:
Two people both have β±20,000 extra per month.
Person A spends it on lifestyleβgadgets, dining out, and shopping.
Person B uses the β±20,000 to pay for a preselling condo.
After a few years:
β’ Person A enjoyed the spending, but the money is gone.
β’ Person B now owns a condo unit that increased in value.
Another example in condo investing:
A buyer purchases a preselling condo for β±3,000,000.
After turnover and a few years of development in the area, the market value becomes β±4,200,000.
Thatβs β±1.2M increase in value.
On top of that, the unit can be rented for β±18,000ββ±25,000 per month, creating additional income.
Thatβs the power of real estate.
Real estate is something you can see and touch, and as cities grow and develop, property values usually increase over time.
Personally, I donβt believe the goal should be working until 65 just to survive.
A better plan is to start investing early and let your money work for you.
Sometimes, the only thing people need is exposure to the opportunity. π‘
