Use other people's money (banker) in investing and put the tenant to pay all the costs + ammortization.
Use 100 % financing.
if a lack of tenants that are able to pay this rate occurs in the market, as well as a lack of buyers willing to buy real estate at at least par values, what happens?
Don't buy such pains in your ass. Obviously you do your due diligence before buying any investment.
Real estate/appartments/commercial space is more a business than investment so some sort of entrepreneurial skills (organizing skills) are needed.
Just a couple of points.
1. NRG said "in my country" but didn't state which country...since different countries have different rules and regs, so how do you know these are 'excuses'. I know this is a rather radical idea, but how about listening to other forum members.
2. The idea of 100% finance and selling the dream of being a landlord is one of the reasons for the GFC. Amazingly, your attitude was actually shared by millions of people in 2008 - it will never happen to me, cause I'm so clever. Your smug tone makes me hope you get over-extended and it all collapses.
3. Also, one of the reasons for social inequality in many countries is the rise of what I would call this 'new feudalism' which you propose; young people can't get on the property 'ladder' because the greedy and rapacious own 4, 6, 8 houses or units.
1. It is very likely there are opportunities. In different countries the opportunities are different type. The beautiful thing in real estate investing is that there is no one way to do it.
2. 2008 people bought empty houses in hope of rise in value. If you do your stuff in right manner you are able to become millionaire. However, it will happen with 10 000 XMR faster than in real estates (unless you get "lucky").
3. If you dream of home-ownership, then buy a home you can afford to buy. Take 20 mortgage, pay off it a few years, then refinance/buy better home. In that manner a young person can start climbing the latters of home ownership in current monetary system. If you want to become rich/wealthy/financially independent it is smart to play with the rules, not against the rules.
