If you're looking for an investment vehicle that provides incredible returns and a steady revenue stream, you can't do much better than real estate. The market has been steadily expanding, a pattern that's expected to continue into the future, making investment properties one of the safest bets you can make. The experts at Nova Property Management, Anchorage real estate professionals with extensive experience handling investment properties, explain just a few of the benefits of becoming a landlord.

Real estate offers some compelling benefits, such as:

• Competitive Returns: According to Zillow, the average home appreciated 4.9% last year, with a slightly more modest 2.4% gain expected this year. Rising property values also drive up rent prices, so even if you intend to use your investment property for passive income, it will deliver increasing returns over time.
• Stability: While the rate of return in some years may be somewhat modest, the real estate market is generally protected from the sudden shocks and volatility of the stock market. Even including the 2008 collapse of the housing market, investment properties are still a much more stable place to put your money.
• Balancing Risk: Adding real estate to your portfolio may give your investments the stability you need to take advantage of higher-risk opportunities, which can potentially be very lucrative. In fact, because real estate is isolated from the performance of other types of assets, it’s an ideal counterbalance to riskier investments.
