me I can't compare real estate to bitcoin and I can't even compare bitcoin to real estate, because both are good investment what matters here is choice anybody can choose what ever investment he or she is comfortable with, but as for me I prefer bitcoin, because with little amount of money you can start accumulating bitcoin, not like real estate that you need hudge amount of money to start it, and secondly bitcoin is a digital currency that can be used to make payment for goods and services online, and it also a store of value with potential returns when you buy and hold for long term 5 to 10 or longer, bitcoin is decentralize and transparent, with bitcoin you are your own Bank, that's why bitcoin is my choice and I consider bitcoin to be a good investment for both the poor and the rich.
Real estate can't be compared to Bitcoin in any aspect, since they are two different clear investment.
Bitcoin long-term investment achievement of 10-20 years or more is far weighty than real estate.
Real estate will be involving a high level of maintenance fee of its property in other for it to look more attractive and updated in the market, and we all know how much it will cost us to renovate a building, or incurring expenses on repairs and damage of a building, from where would all those expenses come from still from his real estate.
Let's take for example an investor of a real estate happens to lease his property for 5-10 years and he his involved in repairs and other unforseen expenses of his investment, from where will he get the money from, is it not from the money being paid to him, what about the stress involved, how much profit would he have made within these years, Although I'm not here to compare between real estate investment and bitcoin investment. I just want to answer you on the question you asked. Well before a property owner gives of his house for rent, there is what professionals in the real estate field call full repair and insurance lease. In this this type of lease, the occupant of the property is responsible of carrying out all the repairs on the property throughout the period of the lease. In this type of lease, the property net rent amount is not being spent on any form of maintenance. But in situation where the property owner is going to be responsible for all forms of repairs and maintenance, a certain percentage of the net rent is usually calculated and added to the rent which will now form the gross amount that the intending tenant will pay as rent for the property for the period that the lease will last.
In nutshell, when a tenant is responsible for maintenance and repairs, the tenant pay net rent.
When the property owner is responsible for repairs and maintenance, the tenant will pay gross rent.
Let's assume the annual rent of the property is $1000 (net)
Repair and maintenance 20% of rental value $200
Therefore the gross rent will be $1200.
So in any of these situations, you will see that the property owner net rent is not going into repairs and maintenance of the property. The tenant is always the person that will pay for the repairs and maintenance of the property.
