Buying
condos and renting them out is a popular business model across the
country. The same can be said of residential real estate properties
in Birmingham. With more and more people flocking to the city as it
sheds its image of brutal civil rights struggles and industrial
collapse, investors are eyeing condos as a great way to cash in on
the influx of new residents.
The
best thing about buying and renting out condos is that it isn’t a
one-dimensional investment. Unlike other ventures, where the
investment is made on a concept designed to yield returns, a
condominium unit buys you an asset that in itself yields a return. In
simpler terms, you can buy a condo and try to rent it out, but if
that doesn’t work, you can still sell the condo at fair market
value and recover most, if not all, of your losses through
appreciation.
