Aviva Senior Living | Why is real estate the #1 long-term investment for Americans?

It’s no secret that real estate has been, is, and will continue to be a popular choice of investment. As individuals take a more holistic approach to their portfolio planning, real estate investments are receiving a bigger piece of the pie to add diversification and cash flow.

That said, it still came as a surprise to many (but not us), when a nationwide Bankrate survey revealed this month that real estate is Americans’ favorite long-term investment. With rate cuts and swinging volatility, too much uncertainty lies in traditional markets. Real estate investments may offer stability, cash flow, and the gratification of owning a tangible asset that when properly managed over the long term, can bring about capital appreciation.

As investors shape their portfolio with a long-term approach, real estate investment becomes the necessary choice to offer value that is becoming more difficult to find elsewhere.
