If you already own a home, it’s a great time to start thinking about adding in an income property. This can achieved through a variety of options. There are vacation properties and there are properties that would hold a full-time tenant. Both options are a great income growth strategy for your own financial goals. 


If you’ve been on the fence, these benefits are a great example of the reasons why owning a rental property of any kind is a great move for your goals and your portfolio. 


  1. Passive Income: As long as you keep a renter in your income property, you can ensure that you’ll be making money consistently! Passive income is the gold standard for reaching financial goals easily. While owning a rental home isn’t free from work, it’s an option that can make money with minimal exertion required on the owner’s part. 

  2. Grow Equity While Making Money: Real estate is exceptional because homes earn money just by existing. If you buy a property in a desirable area, the home will gain value through equity. This is a great option for someone looking to sell in the future. You can make money while owning and bringing in money, then make money from a future sale. 

  3. A Way to Diversify Your Income Streams: If you’re looking for extra ways to diversify your portfolio, real estate investment is an ideal way to go. Money experts agree that owning a physical address is one of the best investments you can make. Consider this as a great add in diverse income streams. 

  4. Tax Savings: There are tons of ways you can earn tax breaks on investment real estate. From repairs, to savings on rental income, and other great options. It’s a great idea to speak with your accountant about 

  5. A Vacation Destination: If you own a rental property in a highly desirable getaway location, you can plan to have a space for vacations. Having income from vacation season tenants will cover your costs and give you a practically free place to stay when you travel! 

  6. Flexibility: There are so many options that come along with owning a rental home or condo that can be used in a variety of ways. Whether you plan to sell in the future, hold long-term tenants, or have a place to vacation with your family that pays for itself. The flexibility of this sort of investment can’t be beat.
