Real estate funds are a great alternative for investors. Instead of investthecapital in a property, returns are made on multiple properties. A fund is based on funds from many investors. The capital of the investors is presented in a bundled manner and from now on is continuously invested in the financial market. The fund manager responsible for this is usually an employee of a so-called fund company.
If you compare a fund with a company’s stock, you get an advantage in risk diversification. Instead of investing all the capital in a product or in a company, it is distributed among different investment opportunities. Thus, a stock fund does not only consist of the value of a single share, but also achieves its market value from the performance of several shares of different companies. As a bonus, a stock fund does not only benefit from the appreciation of individual equity values. You also receive returns from the dividend payments of the public limited companies. In addition to equities, investors can also invest in real estate through funds. Instead of putting all his capital into a single property, money can be realized with a real estate fund from the economic development of various investment properties. This option is particularly suitable if you do not have enough financial resources to buy a high-yield property.
Financing options for real estate acquisition are possible in various ways. One of the simplest and at the same time cheaper forms of financing is equity. However, not all buyers enjoy this luxury and can pay for their property in cash. The equity includes all cash, money in current accounts, insurance and value deposits. Loans from the family or from the employer are also included. The higher the equity capital, the lower the debt that an institution must provide to the election.
Upon request, the banks grant different amounts of annuity loans to future property owners. The amount of equity capital has a major impact on debt financing and its terms. Buyers with high equity capital are considered reliable and solvent by the banks, so that favorable financing is possible. Most banks require equity capital of at least 20 percent. If this is not the case, the financing options are limited and significantly more expensive. It is equally important that the ancillary costs of real estate acquisition are not financed by credit institutions.
If the financial means to buy a house or apartment are lacking, real estate funds are the best alternative. In particular, the low interest rate phase has made real estate increasingly attractive as an investment in recent years. If you want to protect your money from inflation, you have to look for alternatives to low-interest daily money. But not everyone is willing to take risks enough to enter the stock market directly. Funds are thus an optimal entry into the world of securities and can generate good returns even with lower risk, depending on their stability. Real estate funds benefit above all from the ever-increasing real estate prices. If the value of assets that are part of a fund increases, so does the value of the security. In addition, there are flourishing rental prices in the conurbations around large cities. All these factors contribute to increasingly attractive real estate funds. In addition to the classic mixed fund, open-ended real estate funds are now the most popular form of mutual funds.
After the signature on the purchase contract, the buyer is both owner and owner. The buyer pays the entire purchase price to the seller. Only in exceptional cases can this be transferred to another account, for example that of the notary. Once the payment has been made, the buyer is considered to be the owner of the property from a purely legal point of view. The seller, on the other hand, is still the owner. The buyer is not the owner until the entry in the land register has been changed
In addition to a secured income and a certain equity rate, there are some important things to consider when financing. It is important that the monthly repayment of the loan rates amounts to a maximum of 40 percent of one’s net income. There must be no negative Schufa entries when applying for a loan, as well as attachments and other debts. Financing for the purchase of real estate always entails considerable costs. This means not only the interest on the loan, but also the terms of the loan and the possible follow-up financing. This is useful if more favourable terms are possible with a credit institution.
Other costs also include provisioning interest, all handling fees, brokerage fees and account fees. A detailed comparison of the offers on the construction finance market is very important in order to obtain the best conditions for the purchase of real estate.
As soon as all financing measures for the purchase of real estate have been decided, it is the actual purchase of the desired property. However, in order for a change of ownership to occur, notarial certification is necessary. The purchase contract is drawn up by the notary and presented to the seller and buyer. The notary also arranges for the registration of the new buyer in the land register. The notification to the tax office is also made via the notary. Only when the entire purchase price has been paid and a safety certificate is issued by the tax office can the new owner be entered in the land register. Once this process is complete, a transfer of ownership can be agreed upon, at the same time as the key is handed over.
The fact is that it is far from finished choosing the right property. A real estate acquisition clearly involves more than that.
