Many
smaller would-be landlords are considering buying rental properties
as a means of making better returns from investments.
Diversified
corporate bond funds of lower credit ratings, but without outlandish
credit risks, still offer decent yields, as do REIT mutual funds,
which invest in real estate equity trusts.
Still,
individuals who are familiar with small properties may find bargain
real estate that will offer a decent return and capital
enhancement.
But
there is a danger in holding real estate on a small scale. It may
derive from local regulations which you should know intimately. And
you must be prepared to do most of your own small repairs, which can
be costly when assigned to outside mechanics. (See the Earl J.
Weinreb NewsHole® comments.)
