No one wants to be under heavy debts at any case and those who are not under any sort of debts or mortgages are considered as the financially strong people. They have plenty of surplus money and assets generating an income for them and therefore they don’t need to work to earn their living. But the facts are different as people who don’t in need to taking money still borrow it in order to generate a profit. It can not be only for meeting the expenses, one does borrow to raise his/her profit graphs, but it all depends on how one uses that borrowed money. For instance, if one borrows a sum of money and use it to generate extra income to pay off his/her loan repayments and interest and still left with comfortable surplus money, he/she has an extra source of income in that case.
There are so many instances where your borrowed money generates an extra income for you. What if some else is paying off the repayments for you while you still receive an income from it. Of course you will be delighted and happy to have something out of nothing. Let’s see how it is possible. Let us say you take out a mortgage to buy a property and then let it out to a tenant. This will not only provide you enough money to pay off your monthly mortgage repayments but also help you to have a comfortable surplus amount. So, that borrowed money in the form of mortgage will now create an extra source of income for you each month and also your loan will be paid by the tenant also. This is perhaps the short term benefit of the borrowed money however there are some long term benefits as well. The property value doesn’t remain the same. It may increase over time as a result a valuable increase in your capital. You can sell your property to make a healthy profit at a later.
This is a very useful method of making money by borrowing money, but many people unaware of the fact that there is a lot of risk involved in it. Let us clear it with the help of an example. There are times when interest rates raise as a result your mortgage repayments will also raise and you will find that the rent your tenant paying is not enough to cover the repayments. Similarly, there are void periods as well,. i.e. when the property is empty, and you have to make repayments on your own. As we have discussed earlier that the value of property doesn’t remain the same and you may not see the value increasing all the time. Sometimes the value of the property may also fall.
There are always risk in everything, but if you have a done your homework properly, you can make a healthy income from your borrowed money. You can minimize the risk involved in borrowing money for property investment by taking some solid steps to handle the critical situations.
