Pikesville’s prosperous, mature population is a great opportunity for investors to make a solid ROI.
In the heart of Baltimore County, with easy access to downtown Baltimore, Pikesville is a great location for tenants looking to escape expensive city life. Pikesville has its own steady business community as well, so there are lots of professionals in need of housing.
You can get into property investment quickly and easily. Mortgage interest is very low at the moment (3%), so you do not have to pay as much on loans. In addition to these low interest rates, there is a growing need for housing. Investors will be able to quickly turn a profit on property investments.
And you can pay off those loans using your tenants’ rent money. Within 15-20 years, you can fully own your property without ever having to use your money, providing you with real security should financial problems arise in the future.
You are also building equity when you invest in property. The housing market is in a “bottom bounce” growth period. This means property acquired now will quickly appreciate in value. Generally, properties in locations with good school systems and lots of transportation options tend to hold their value better, even during economic downturns.
Expect a steady cash flow from your rental units. This is money you can use to pay mortgages, expenses, and assure your financial security. Most of your income can be written off in some way, as well. In addition to long-term tax deductions, landlords can also write off smaller expenses like travel, repairs, home offices, and credit card interest.
