Over time, statistics show that the price of real estate tends to go up over a large time scale. Because this holds true, we commonly see a mortgaged property increase in value over a decade or so. In doing so, interesting opportunities arise for the investor in reaping the benefits of the market conditions. Let's say that you buy a property that costs an easy $100,000 with a mortgage you obtained. Over the next ten years, the housing market in your area becomes highly competitive as new people arrive and set up shop. Because of such events, the value of the property shoots straight up to $200,000- double the current value in which you invested in. You are now thinking of selling it for a quick lump sum- but is it the best idea? Selling the property outright is actually a poor idea, depending on whether or not you desperately need the money or not. The extra money received as profit will be heavily taxed, meaning most of the increase in worth will go straight to the government. Obviously, not too many people like this option, considering there are more efficient means of keeping their wealth despite government interference. Theoretically, one could still keep renting the property out to tenants- and may perhaps up the rent a little to compensate for the market change. And although this bypasses the government interference, it also isn't likely to make much money over the years. Instead, the landlord should very seriously consider obtaining a rental property refinance. A rental property refinance will take a current rental property and borrow against it. Previously, you bought the property- and the value increased in double. This means you are eligible for another mortgage if you have shown a good track record in maintaining payments. This money can be used to buy more property in the area and to rent it out- so as to expand your empire and still keep your net worth building up. Even though it would be more logical to go for the refinancing, there are instances where it can't be helped but to sell or not mess with the added real estate investment. Adding another real estate investment to your portfolio may take time that you don't have, in which case the other two options are better. In addition, the new responsibility may put you into debt you can't afford to be in when a disaster strikes. Closing Comments There are plenty of lenders to choose from if you don't have one in mind already. If you've proven your worth to your current lender, you may wish to go back and ask about what they offer in terms of rental property refinancing.
