There has been ongoing debate regarding the best way to recoup the investment made in constructing a residential apartment building. For those involved in real estate, where does the real profit lie? Is it possible to recoup the money spent on constructing a residential apartment building through renting it out, or is selling it a better option for recovering the investment?
In your words recovering which simply means to get back what was used, in order to get back your investment selling is the best option if I'm to answer this question correctly, but when you are focused of making profit added to your capital investment then renting seems to be the best option because whatever generates money consistently would supercceed a fixed amount gotten at once. Renting it out would be more profitable in the long run you just have to be patient
Focusing on flipping of houses would be more profitable than waiting on rent. Actually, selling houses is a business, and shouldn't be a one time thing, the money generated from selling one property, can erect another one, which can still be sold. All the same, a rented house wouldn't raise enough money to build its replica in a short time. Therefore, the owner is not interested in selling houses, but wants a stream of income that doesn't ask for his time anymore.
