Investing in real estate can lead to lucrative amounts of money for retirees. It can be time-consuming though, which is a reason why many people search for alternative investment strategies. Here is a list of other opportunities that you can take advantage of.
ETF
If you fear the stock market because of its unpredictability, you can invest in an Exchange Traded Fund also known as an ETF. Instead of putting all your eggs in one basket, you can diversify your assets with a number of similar companies. There are options available for you to purchase dozens of real estate related stocks all at once so you can balance performance.
Housing Material Company Stocks
Housing materials companies can be invested in when the real estate market is in a boom phase. When natural disasters occur, there will be a rapid growth in their stocks because of the higher cost of building materials. Shareholders like you will prosper when the market is in demand for materials.
Public Home Builder Stocks
Public home builder stocks are available for you to invest in and are another great option. Dependent upon the real estate market, their volatility may be a bit higher than you would expect but you can potentially see large gains as well as dividends from certain companies.
Avoiding the hassle of being a landlord or manager of a property can make your retirement a lot more peaceful. By purchasing stocks, you can still receive income and won’t have to worry about being woken up at 2 in the morning to fix a broken furnace.
