Investments are financial options that can give you great dividends; as previously mentioned, it is a decision that should be carefully considered, making it necessary to gather as much information as possible in order to choose wisely.

To expand on this topic, we recently published why investing in real estate is a good option in times of crisis, where you will gain a deeper understanding of the current situation and the opportunities available to acquire a property.

With all of the above in mind, this time we will give you some tips you should follow to maximize your profits from the moment you make your acquisition in the real estate sector.

Investments in the real estate sector can be defined as low risk, however, this does not mean we should take it lightly and assume any property will be profitable.

That is why it is important to spend some time researching how the market behaves, which areas are experiencing growth, what the appreciation rates are, among other data.

One of the main factors that should always be considered in a property is its location, since thanks to this, two properties with the same amount of land and construction square meters but located in different parts of the city can have a price difference of millions of pesos.

As a fact worth highlighting, tourist destinations show greater growth than the rest of the country, which translates into higher profits; examples of this are Tulum and Playa del Carmen.

Opportunities in life belong to those who take risks and seize them for themselves, and the real estate market is no different. The important thing is to know how to identify when a property truly is an opportunity or simply an illusion.

Great investors know that real estate is an excellent investment method; to identify those opportunities, we return to the point of researching the market. By doing so, we can know if there are value fluctuations. Also, never forget a fundamental rule: a low price does not always mean an opportunity.

Buying any apartment, residence, or lot in the pre-sale stage ensures an initial profit because once that stage ends, prices increase significantly.

This stage occurs at the beginning of the development and ends when there is significant progress in the construction. Likewise, we remind you that prices may vary until delivery.

Blog inversión de bienes raíces_0000_1

Making a good investment does not mean you have to do all the work yourself; seeking guidance from the sales advisors of a development or a real estate agency will help you get more information.

One of the advisors' goals is to provide you with detailed information about the property so you can make a decision with all the tools at your disposal. They will also be more involved in the subject. Therefore, don't close yourself off to this opportunity.

As an investor, you should focus on the future, not the present. Develop the ability to identify what will happen in one, two, or ten years with the property. It's not about having clairvoyance, but about analyzing the facts.

Analyzing the facts means making decisions based on all the market research you have done. Analyzing the data will help you know where the market is heading, but above all, to understand it.

With the background we have presented and your investor experience, you are sure to make an excellent, fully informed purchase, so all that's left is to wish you enjoy your benefits.

One of the taboos that exist is investing during times of crisis, words that for many people cannot go together, however, the reality is that it is actually the right time to do it.

It is normal that during these times people do not want to invest, the reason is that they become more cautious due to the prevailing uncertainty and the lack of knowledge about when it will end.

It is also important to clarify that not all sectors are suitable for investing, but there are certain industries that are always profitable regardless of when the investment is made, one of them being the real estate sector.

Where should I invest my money?

Blog_0000_1.jpg

Nowadays, a considerable number of people in Mexico are asking themselves, Where should I invest my money? or How do I invest my money? and the reason is to make a smart investment.

As mentioned in previous paragraphs, the real estate sector is a highly lucrative industry, which is constantly growing throughout the country, especially in tourist areas.

When making this type of investment, there are certain considerations to keep in mind in order to do it correctly, with the goal of obtaining the greatest benefits and the lowest possible risk.

Here are some tips that will be useful to you:

Get information

Blog_0002_3

The more information you have about the property such as its size, location, amenities, future projects in the area, and whether the developer is successful, the more useful it will be to make sure you are in the right place.

Quality properties

One of the factors to always consider is the quality of the development, since having durable materials means you won't have to worry about them for a long time, and amenities also increase its value.

Pre-sale

Blog_0003_4

This is one of the main tips to get almost instant profits, regardless of the time, simply buying a property in pre-sale guarantees you a lower price, and once that stage is over, the cost will inevitably increase, giving you your first benefits.

Promotions

During these times, developers offer discounts on the list price, and these promotions are usually for short periods of time, so it's important to take advantage of them if you have the opportunity.

Comprehensive advice

The advisors of the developments are one of the key ingredients for greater profits, because when you share your needs, concerns, and your vision of what you want, they will give you the best option they have to offer you great benefits.

This is an interesting topic, so soon we will share the second part with more tips to help you have a clearer view of the landscape.

Having a lock off apartment gives you the option and advantage of dividing your property into different sections, which is a great benefit when renting out each of the rooms.

Blog_0002_AEREA

To achieve greater profits, it is essential to learn a bit more about this type of apartment, which is becoming increasingly popular in our country. Below, we present the benefits.

This model gives you the possibility for the rooms to be completely independent from each other, which is usually achieved through an alternate door or by providing access to other areas of the apartment.

Blog_0003_RECAMARA

As mentioned at the beginning, there is great flexibility to earn income, since being independent rooms allows you to use different schemes such as:

  1. Traditional rental (the entire apartment is rented).
  2. Separate rental (each room is rented to different guests).
  3. Mixed rental (one room is rented long-term and the other is rented short-term).
  4. Semi-fixed rental (one room can be rented for a full season and the rest of the year according to demand).
  5. Rental and use (one room is rented and you live in the rest of the apartment).

The above applies to a 2-bedroom model, but if you acquire a 3-bedroom unit, the possibilities increase and can be combined.

One of the main benefits is that they are located in strategic places, mainly in tourist destinations where guests want to spend their time, which translates into greater opportunities to increase your earnings,

Blog_0001_DEPTO

Lock off apartments and studio-type units are the first ones buyers want to acquire, as they are easy to rent and maximize dividends, since a lock off apartment with 3 bedrooms can give you triple the income.

With all the information above, you now know the benefits of these units, and if you want to invest in one, we invite you to click the button below to contact one of our advisors so they can provide you with the necessary information.

Financial recommendations for buying a house

If you want to invest in a property that will be profitable in the medium and long term, it’s vital to know these recommendations, as they will help you gain from the moment you buy.

BLOG_0000_Define tu presupuesto

One of the most common mistakes when buying a home or property in general is not setting a budget; if you don’t, you might end up buying on impulse rather than by choice.

There are several stages in selling a property, and one of the first is the pre-sale, which is profitable because once this phase ends, prices rise considerably.

BLOG_0002_Elige una buena ubicación

One of the first things to consider when buying real estate is location, which will determine its value, since not all areas have the same level of development, growth, or future plans, resulting in the value either increasing or decreasing.

One of the 6 characteristics of a successful developer, even if it sounds redundant, is successful projects, which require a detailed plan that includes safe and quality construction processes to provide proper infrastructure.

BLOG_0004_Infórmate sobre proyectos futuros en la zona

Information is valuable, especially in areas involving investments. If there are future projects in the area where you buy, it means the value will increase before and after they are completed.
