But to fully take advantage of the opportunities the real estate market affords, those planning on purchasing investment properties should familiarize themselves with the different types of investment products and should spread their investment across several widely different opportunities.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">But how? Here are a few core concepts :<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>What Is a Portfolio?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Investors and industry professionals refer to a person\u2019s collection of investments as a \u201cportfolio.\u201d This is a concept that basically encompasses all of your investments. So, if you own stocks, bonds and rental properties, that&#8217;s what your portfolio consists of.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>What Is Portfolio Diversity?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">A portfolio is \u201cdiverse\u201d when the investments it contains vary in relatively equal amounts. Keeping with our above example, a portfolio that is 90 percent stocks, five percent bonds and five percent rental properties is not diverse. A portfolio with 33 percent of each investment type would be considered diverse.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In the context of a real estate-specific portfolio, diversity means owning several different kinds of real estate investments.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Why Is Diversity Important?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This is a great question that a lot of new investors overlook. Here\u2019s an example that may resonate with many. In 2008, the housing market collapsed. Many people lost their homes, and the average value of those homes went down dramatically. If you were a real estate investor who focused primarily on renting out houses, there&#8217;s a good chance you went out of business in 2008.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">But, if you were a real estate investor who was also receiving rent from properties associated with unaffected industries\u2014like commercial real estate\u2014you were more likely to survive the collapse.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In short, owning three houses is good. But owning one house and a grocery store is better because even if people don\u2019t have the money to buy a new home, they\u2019ve still got to eat.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>How Do I Diversify My Real Estate Portfolio?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">For the new investor, or for the investor who hasn\u2019t explored much of the market, your first stop should be at the offices of an experienced REALTOR\u00ae who works specifically with real estate investors. An experienced investment REALTOR\u00ae can help you find the right properties\u2014and the right balance of properties\u2014to secure your wealth and make you a tidy profit.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.rismedia.com\/2018\/investing-real-estate-diversify-portfolio\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Investing in Real Estate : How to Diversify Your Portfolio<\/a> by Dixie Somers | RISMedia housecall<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Andrew Carnegie\u2014founder of US Steel and one of history\u2019s richest men\u2014once observed, \u201cMore millionaires have been made through owning real estate than through all other industrial investments combined.\u201d Owning real &hellip;
