Despite Rising Interest Rates, Real Estate Offers Opportunity to Investors
September 4, 2018 | Victoria Rock | WealthManagement.com
Real estate markets are rising—but not that fast. This presents opportunity to investors.
That’s what people like about real estate: it moves slowly and is not that affected by the daily swings in the markets. Long-term trends can—and will—affect real estate positively or negatively, but despite raucous political and economic news, real estate just continues to offer a safe harbor for clients.
Real estate investment products can offer superior risk-adjusted returns. Lower volatility is another advantage. Given generally low, or even negative, correlations with stocks and bonds, real estate also can also provide diversification.
