Real Estate: Making Money Out of the Fruits of Hard Work

By David Jackson of Carpediem Articles

You secure a great home after years of enslaving yourself in a corporate job; and you finally call it your ultimate dream real estate investment. But what comes after it? The next thing you realize is your residential property becomes your only channel for temporary financial security.

True enough, your home is a real estate investment, but there are other types of real estates that you can call good investments. This may mean any land for that matter, including every natural resource and enduring structure affixed on it such as offices, industrial, and retail properties.

What makes real estate a great alternative investment then? It is tangible, meaning it is something that you can reach, hold, see, and get in touch with for real and with utmost ease. It is a hands-on investment that requires a hands-on management strategy. Transaction costs are always possibly at the highest rate; expect for high purchase, rentals, and other sales costs. Location is a very important element in real estate business, because it defines the returns of every tenant’s business and yours as well.

That is why in the United States, the business of residential ownership and mortgage industry means serious business. Two gigantic organizations in the industry of mortgages in the US are Mannie Mae and Freddie Mac, who play a major role in the financing condition of American residential ownership. What they do is they procure and assure mortgages with the use of secondary mortgage market, instead of originating or servicing mortgages. It is the mortgage originators who sell mortgages straight to them, and in turn they free up the funds utilized to originate these mortgages to allow originators to create more mortgages.

But, you see, Mannie Mae and Freddie Mac are publicly traded but government-sponsored enterprises that were created by acts of Congress, which leaves them to having relative ties with the Federal Government. The market sees the ties as an implied guarantee from the US government, whatever securities are issued by Mannie Mae and Freddie Mac. So this boils down to one realization by the market: if these big firms fail, the US government could get in the way and bail them out. There was even a time when the mortgage market came to a sudden halt; but come to think of it, the transactions guaranteed by Freddie Mac and Mannie Mae were uninterrupted.

The Federal bond is also seen as an unjust advantage that stretches out their capacity to present debt with interest rates that are not available to other companies; and this actually has been providing then a clear advantage of advancing themselves against other competitions.
