What You Should Know About Real Estate Investments
Your home represents a large portion of your overall wealth. But it might not be your best investment. However, it can still play an important role in your portfolio.
Real estate investments have low correlations to other investments, like stocks and bonds. That lack of correlation could signify stability in your portfolio.
From a tax perspective, real estate investments are hugely beneficial. But be sure you’re not overdoing it on real estate. It should make up just 5 percent of your portfolio.
