Are you considering investing in real estate to expand your portfolio? Currently, several options fit the characteristics you are looking for in an investment. 

Before proceeding to the four most popular types of real estate investments, we remind you of the importance of considering the location of the property, the density and growth of the population, the profitability and the capital gain of the area before making any investment. 

 

  1. Investment in offices and commercial premises.

Are you looking for a real estate investment option that offers you great profitability? The investment in real estate destined for offices and commercial premises can be what you are looking for. This is an opportunity to rent a type of property with a lower offer that is always in demand. 


Also, offices and commercial premises offer the opportunity to generate higher profits in the short term, to close rental contracts with companies of different lines of business, and to establish which part will be in charge of the maintenance expenses of the establishments. 

 

  1. Investment in parking lots.

With the increase in the number of vehicles in Mexico’s cities and the low number of public parking lots, investment in this type of property is presented as a profitable solution to this need. At the same time, it is a space that requires little maintenance and management, cleaning, access equipment, employees, and security.

  1. Land investment.

When we talk about land it is possible to make the difference between different types of investment lots: residential, commercial, and industrial. In all three cases, we are faced with more economical options that are expected to have a higher value in the long term by being located in areas intended for future development. Therefore, it is important to emphasize that they are long-term investments. 


What can an investment lot be used for? Depending on its type, it is possible to build a residence, commercial premises, industrial warehouses, or any type of property that its owner considers suitable. 

The fact of investing in a residential lot allows the investor to build his house according to his specific taste and needs. 

  1. Investment in residential properties.

Residential properties are investments whose demand is increasing, especially in cities with high migration rates, such as the area of southeast Mexico. This is one of the best-known forms of real estate investment that, as such, branches out into multiple categories according to the characteristics of the property. 


We find houses alone and within residential developments, apartments, studios, and townhouse complexes; all with different needs and architectural characteristics, so it is possible to find options that fit the interests of the investor or his next resident. 

What can you do with a residential property? You can live, rent and sell at a higher price, depending on the capital gain of the area.
