Topic: Real estate vs. Bitcoin - page 5. (Read 1457 times)

Real Estate is definitely a great pool to invest in. If you don't have hundred thousands, if not millions of dollars however, you'd not find much success in this venture as it requires the investor to pool in a lot of money to buy off properties and have them either be sold at a bigger price, or be rented. Bitcoin however, is much more budget-friendly but is not that reliable in terms of profitability because of bitcoin's high volatility rate.

Real Estate will have some point in time that we will need to alot budget for maintenance as well will depend on what kind of Real Estate we will be having, a condominium or a apartment type. It will only be considered investment if it's able to provide earning  like Bitcoin can do in a long run or able to earn by trading it.

I preferably choose trade BTC first then earnings can be used to buy Real Estate like a apartment that can provide guaranteed profit.

For long term ye it's real state that will surely grant you a high value in returned but in terms of opportunities both short and long term bitcoin can deliver if you knows how to work with it, the demands is already rising and with more people to recognize this system you'll never know what would be the value after another 10 years.

Real estate has specific characteristics and according to each country and region to value. To invest in real estate we need a sufficient amount of money and may need a lawyer to help us complete our transaction. Selling a property takes a certain amount of time for someone to notice and offer to buy it. In this case, the slippage in the deal happens quite high because it is a discussion process. We can use real estate for rent and bitcoin cannot.
As for Bitcoin, we can own much less money than real estate, we can transact ourselves with immediate effect. Bitcoin's liquidity is global and you can buy Bitcoin anywhere in the world.
What Bitcoin and real estate have in common is that they are limited assets.

From my point of view you can't compare real estate with bitcoin! The first and most important is the capital you need for the start, with bitcoins you can start even with a few dollars (if you find some way to buy it directly without some big fees), and for real-estates you need a lot of money to start! Second is the time frame, investing in real-estates is good, but good location are already very expensive, finding new desirable locations and waiting them to become popular means 10-20 years of waiting, and it's like gamble, things can change in that time! Therefore,  you can compare real-estates with crypto-currencies, I am sure you can find cheap houses on some locations, the same as you can find cheap alts, and in future those locations can be very popular, the same as alts and there will be your profit! All that sounds like a gambling, which probably is, but again with crypto you can risk less money!

Depending on the City chosen will be the growth of real estate investment. In some countries real estate give good return, whereas in some the investment value declines. This is all because of the prevailing economic situation. Particularly real estate is something like a boom, we don't know when it gets falling or keeps rising.

In my country the real estate investment is good and people have made a big lifestyle change out of it. Same time there are people who have lost everything putting their hard earning into real estate. Same as we've got Scammers, fraudsters can be seen much in real estate which is a trap for common man.

This is a very interesting discussion in my opinion, because both are profitable investments. But for me investing in Bitcoin is more promising,
the reason is that the volatile movement of Bitcoin can make us get faster and bigger profits than investing in real estate. Especially for people
whose economy is not good, but want to try investing. Bitcoin is still affordable compared to real estate which must have large capital. Even the
first time investing in Bitcoin I only spent $ 20.

there may be individuals selling their property at lower prices, but i do agree that in general, real estate property are still on the rise even with this pandemic.

and based on this article (though they are tackling few major areas only), but it has an opening statement that "Despite the pandemic-induced global recession, house prices in major markets globally continue to rise." and they have basis what theyre trying to convey here

this crisis will stop sooner or later, so i dont think it is really smart move to sell your property during crisis, unless you are in a desperate situation.

Wrong actually the price of real estate assets continuously rising and the sales is been more higher even if there's a pandemic.

Here I will give you the article of CLI where they got 41% higher jump of sales and that's huge. https://www.cebulandmasters.com/news/cli-posts-41-jump-in-reservation-sales/

Although there are other people selling their property at low price but it doesn't affect the entire value of all property listed around the world.

Depends on the sector. Residential real estate not so much. Prices are at an all time high in most places in the US despite the pandemic. Commercial real estate is another matter. Big city skyscrapers are having trouble right now, but even some retail is still decent.

There is a need for both at work and there is a difference between the two Bitcoin is a cryptocurrency that extends beyond it's underlying Internet source and then becomes a legitimate method of sending and receiving funds. Bitcoin can be used when shopping in both online and traditional physical retail stores and has even been known to be used for major purchases such as cars and real estate investors need both.

Actually in my city the real estate prices are not dropping at all during the corona pandemic. We are seeing a slow down in apartment turnovers and purchases, but the building of new houses and apartments is still ongoing and as strong as 2-3 years ago before corona.  The government is supporting many companies through grants which enables them to keep on their staff during these times. And for people who still want to sell their property they will not really go down in price and just wait longer. And if you really do need money in the short term, I noticed that people just tend to take out a loan with their house or apartment as collateral.

Real estates prices are declining during this pandemic mainly because the owners are in need and are desperate for money, hence opting to sell their properties for much lower price than it should be.

The banks and corporations aren't offering big loans now because they're also thinking of the people's capability to pay on time. Some believe that majority of the borrowers are not capable to pay their loans and debt because of unemployment, that's why they're limiting lending of money only to those who they think are fit to pay with interest on time. After all, these are still businesses that need a sure generate and return of income.

I believe both real estates and bitcoin are nice investments. Real estates price increase over time. The value of properties such as land, house and lot and others increase as time passes by. The demand for properties especially in those areas with nice location increase in price especially if it has a great potential for opening an establishment. This makes real estates a safe investment because you can always sell it in higher price in the future and you can utilize it to generate additional income as well. Bitcoin is a nice investment too since it has promising value. Although this also changes over time, depending on the season. I guess it's still much better to have both and be strategic to make it generate income for you.

Just always make sure that you're going to buy and negotiate to a legitimate land owner and broker. Make sure that they'll provide complete and clean papers for the real estate you're planning to buy.

I think both are fundamentally connected at some level. Because as the population rises more, the demand for both of them will continue to rise while there is very limited amount for both. It makes sense why to be an investor on both fields and make a wise decision to make good fortune. It's very bad to put all investments in one basket!

There are ways to invest in real estate without buying the actual real estate. REITs are publicly traded securities that invest in real estate and pay out the earnings from renting the property as dividends. You can invest $100 or even less at a time into REITs, so not necessarily true that you need a large capital investment in order to get exposure to real asset as an investment class.

I don't know why many people prefer to invest with estate than bitcoin. I wonder why many never still understand that the profit bitcoin will bring for half year estate will not but people never still understand that one. Despite bitcoin way is pumping now, it will still pumping More than this where the season finally show.
I don't think there's any way to compare estate with bitcoin. Estate reward is every year some times it depends where the estate is located. And sometimes the reward is not warranty that the manager will get the money before year end. There are many stress in estate business. I think bitcoin investment is more better than estate investment.

You want to invest in real estate, it is a safer investment channel than crypto is absolutely right but you need a large capital. The cryptocurrency market is more risky but effective faster and the amount you need to invest may not be too large, but you can make a lot of money in not too long time.

I would prefer to invest in real estate. At least this market is much more predictable and stable than crypto. And it is growing despite the economic crisis, just look here how many new homes are building now. Crypto is not the best way to go.

I see the same thing.  Real estate is an attractive investment because during this pandemic, only investments in real estate can be repaid, aka debt.  But the value of real estate itself will increase every year.  Everyone needs shelter and that's for sure.  When compared to bitcoin, not everyone finds bitcoin attractive, not even everyone needs bitcoin.  The conclusion is based on the needs of human life itself, investing in real estate will be more profitable than bitcoin itself.

At current prices I'd rather own more real estate than more bitcoin. I just don't view huge gains as likely at the current prices for bitcoin and the risk from the volatility is too high.  Real estate over the long term acts as a hedge against inflation and also produces an income stream on top of that, which bitcoin doesn't. It's just a better asset class in my opinion.
