Real estate are good investment only if location choosed good and smart

Is true Earthquake is a problem to real estate in any nation that often experiences a rapid earthquake in there country because if there is an earthquake that would happen within the region you establish all the real estate it would buried the whole building including the land and it would take years for those lands to be sand fill and automatically all the million or billion the person has spend in building the real estate would be buried on the Earthquake without recovery so actually I'm one of the many people who likes and encourage real estate business because of how profitable it is in my country but however the encouragement is also because we don't experience landslide.

Real estate have always been the best investment from generations until now because the probability that it's value will always increase in the future is very high, if you buy a land or house today the likelihood that it will increase in price after some years is very high. But like most businesses and investments it has it's disadvantages which one of it is location, if you have a property in a location where people cannot live then it is a bad investment.

Making extensive research before going into real estate is very important so that your property will not lose value after buying it, you need to make sure that the area is not prone to natural disasters like earthquake and volcanoes. There are neighborhood's where there is increase of violence, you might get a very low price for a very big property without knowing the history of the area. After buying you will discover that you cannot get a reasonable rent and to resale you will offer a cheaper price. Don't fall for scams of cheap real estate you need to find out the reason why the property is very cheap.

It's strange to me hearing about earthquake been a threat to developing a property, this is because in my part of the world we only hear about earthquake and watch it on the television.but with or without the fear of earthquake one of the first things to look out for when considering about setting up a real estate business is location, this is because the location were you position your real estate business matters a lot it must have good access road, proximity to urban areas and good security networks these are the things any estate developer should consider when thinking about developing a property.

Regardless of different rumors about the threat to real estate business you can't compare the benefits to the losses involved, using my country for example, we haven't experienced earthquake before and I don't think it's happening anytime now or in the future and in terms of the local you talked about, land banking and real estate has nothing to worry about location because land only appreciate with time and since development is gradually coming to different places of you have a land you only need to bank it till you see more developments getting to the area.

Real estate as a business will always be fine. Because they are being bought by banks these days and not just people. Banks realized that they are so big now that just buying up stocks of companies is not enough, because at certain point all these banks would own every company and nobody would own anything.

So instead, they started to buy up houses, condos and shops etc so that they could rent it out, and that's actually making them a decent income when they buy in bulk like that. In my personal opinion, no other investment could beat bitcoin investment in long term. It means I still believe into bitcoin at core part and real estate and gold kind of investments are only for diversification purpose.

Places like france a lot of europe asia canada and usa will experince a lot earthquakes spouth part of finland and eastern europe will be okay also the russia and australia good those are good places to own land or property.

We don't have that in Africa.

Africa is one of the safest continent in the world, without majority of the natural disasters affecting it. You can be sure to own different lands and real estate without considering future losses due to disasters.

Real estate business is actually a good business in most part of the world and as I know one of the most profitable in terms of low risk to rewards.

we know too that the value of land appreciates, so if you don't wish to develop, you can sell of and still make profits from selling after many years.

The most earthquake-prone places are also usually the most beautiful! These are places with mountains, sea, and subtropical nature. For example, Crimea, the Caucasus, Turkey, etc. 🙋

As far as I understand, Europe isn't at risk from earthquakes. There are also many states in the US where earthquakes are very rare. 🌋

However, I disagree with your conclusion that Russia is the best place in the world to own land and real estate. Currently, Russia is essentially at war with Ukraine. Russia also has very difficult relations with other neighboring countries (which calls into question the economic viability of buying land in southern Finland and Eastern Europe). What's the point of buying a building that could be destroyed by a combat drone?

In my opinion, buying real estate makes sense in very wealthy, peaceful countries (for example, Vienna, the capital of Austria).  However, real estate in central Vienna is extremely expensive...

If you evaluate real estate based on price-quality ratio, then in my opinion, buying a house in South Africa could be a good decision. However, buying real estate is a very specific investment. It's much more complicated than going to the bank and buying a gold bar. To buy real estate profitably, you need to conduct thorough research and accurately forecast the future.

We do not have the ability to control natural disasters, people need homes and places to live, on the one hand it is an opportunity and on the other it is a risk. No matter where you invest, there will be risks. There is no investment without risk, so invest in the assets that are the safest in your area. Even the best strategy would be to diversify your investments, so that if one asset is destroyed, another asset can compensate for your loss. If you are afraid to invest because of natural disasters, then the mindset to invest has not been developed yet, you should be more risk tolerant

[Z_MBFM]

Earthquakes are problem tetonic plates will move places where nobody woul't expecting it happens.
Instead of direct real estate safer way is to own RWA tokens the ownership of physical assets and land by tokens not your physical labour or risks you just own the tokens.
Anyways few places on earth will be good to hold property but a lot places will experince earth quakes in 30 years.
Its not smart to have property where earthquakes are

Places like france a lot of europe asia canada and usa will experince a lot earthquakes spouth part of finland and eastern europe will be okay also the russia and australia good those are good places to own land or property.

No matter where you invest, you must take risks. Earthquake is a natural phenomenon, you cannot avoid this event here. But yes, you must make an effort to protect your property and for this reason, you must choose a good place, a good location where the soil level is good. It is not safe to build a house property anywhere.

And yes, real estate investment is very profitable because the population increases, as the population increases, the demand for house properties will increase and their prices will increase. People consider investing in real estate and gold as the safest investment. Since ancient times, people have believed in them and even now, their belief has remained among people and will continue to be in the future. Because now it is very difficult to build a house of your own, which will be more difficult in the future.

Real estate is an amazing investment, especially the commercial ones. Residential real estate on the other hand is crap. The reason is quite obvious. Home tenants might be unemployed but store tenants are making money, they own a business. If they don't make money, they leave and find some place else with a better spot. Home tenants though, these people are always in survival mode and they are mostly a pain in the ass to their land lord. If you ever invest in real estate, buy commercial re. Avoid residential re.

The challenge is the commercial properties are more expensive than residential buildings.  Since businesses like well develop areas where the cost of properties are high, most people might not be able to afford it.

Anyway I perfectly understand your opinions but there should be a tenancy agreement that gives the landlord the right to take possession of his property in certain situations. My brother had a bad experience with a house tenant but he took possession of the property because there was an agreement.

Quality comes with a price…

House tenants as your bro experienced, are a nightmare.

I don’t know which country you live in but there are those laws you mentioned in my country and they are still not enough if the tenant decided to fuck you over.

Tenant and the landlord should be allowed to make custom deals… that’s the only solution

What you said is extremely right, we don't have the ability to control natural disasters, real estate are actually good investment, if an individual have interests in investing in real estate, they can do that, the occurrence of natural disasters shouldn't prevent them from doing it, because wherever the estate is located anything can happen at anytime, there's a possibility of earthquake, flood, tsunami or any other natural disasters, but the best thing is to hope for the best. Last year there was a heavy rain fall that lead to flood in one of the community in my country, and it washed away some estate, houses and other useful stuffs and most importantly a lots of individuals died as a result of that. Children and young youths full of dreams were buried with their dreams. And this year again some communities are experiencing same tragedy. No one knows what will happen in the future, because if they do, I believe they wouldn't build a home in that community, talkless of homes.

There is a data that shows that the closer you are to a mountain, the higher chance that there could be an earthquake. I guess that is literally the reason why mountains even exist, because tectonic changes means that land got on top of the land and built a mountain during earthquakes that happened over millions of years.

This is why it would be smart to stay away from any place that is closer to mountains. But, it's also very common that it happens near the sea as well, because sea pushes the land closer to other lands, trying to create the Pangea. Overall, I agree real estate investments is influenced by locality still you can easily solve this by studying your local news and trend. So, little research is more than enough for good returns from real estate investment but only in very very long holding unless it is a commercial or city property.

In my opinion, you can't effectively invest in real estate unless you visit the region you're interested in and conduct a thorough on-site analysis. 🙋

I periodically read a Telegram channel run by an investor. This expert travels around the world, having visited almost every country (he's even participated in Arctic expeditions). In his Telegram channel, he explains how to analyze real estate and how to determine which properties are worth buying and which ones aren't.

The main advertising offers related to real estate acquisitions are an attempt to prey on naive people. These are properties with inflated prices. Truly good offers don't need to be sold through intermediaries. They sell very quickly, and they're bought directly from the owners.

Investing is a very difficult process. You need to find an undervalued asset, and you must be confident that after some time, potential buyers will understand why this asset was undervalued.  So, you need to be right about two things: your initial valuation of the asset and your prediction of other people's future behavior. If you're right about both, you've made a good investment.💁

[Makus]

This is one of the most lucrative investment to make but most people make mistakes when starting up this investment because they don't really take a good look at the location, this actually determines the value of the landed property and if it's going to appreciate overtime, that's the reason why it's important to always make sure you pick strategic locations so you don't end up losing. Not everyone that Invests in real estate makes profits because they are not smart about the properties they Invest in. Another important thing to take note of is the security of the environment.

[Youngrebel]

Natural disaster just like earth quake is something that a person has to consider before purchasing a property mostly if a person engages in real estate business, location is something that actually matters a lot in that kind of business. The idea of RWA token as you mentioned is also and interesting one because it allows people to to manage and invest in properties themselves without them having a direct and physical connection, but then I think physical real estate can also be profitable if there’s a stable region with proper structure and also has disaster planing.

[TheUltraElite]

You cant predict natural disasters like that. Places which are getting developed will have a nearby rise in real estate prices because of the demand of common people moving to those areas in terms of work. If a natural disaster strikes, nothing can be done to prevent it and nobody can actually predict something is going to happen 30years later and hence one should not invest today - you will likely recover your asset invested with interest by that time.

Locations today can be good and tomorrow can be bad, this is one of the inherent problems of real estate as assets.

Everything comes with its own risks. I think we still need to diversify. Part of our portfolio should be in digital assets, and part in physical or tangible assets. That’s the approach I personally take.
however, the majority of my investments are in property and real estate. i do this because, even though there are risks like natural disasters or similar events, the value of land, for example, will still rise every year. As the population grows and more industries are established, the price of land will continue to rise over time. The only catch is that we do have to pay taxes and other expenses. However, if it’s agricultural land, we can also generate income from the harvest of crops we plant on the land. If it’s a building, we can rent it out or similar. So paying taxes isn’t an issue at all.

I also like some RWA tokens, but I prefer to focus my investments solely on Bitcoin when it comes to digital assets. Previously, I also traded stocks. But I’ve been gradually selling them off. Sometimes I re-enter the market at certain moments, but no longer for the long term.

Its a very common and serious problem for real state business holders in that countries where earthquakes comes frequently because if a earthquake comes with high scale then its immediately destroy everything and mainly it affects infrastructure of that area. So investors lost million dollars in a second if construction quality is poor or located at high risk zone's. But many countries especially Japan who faces earthquake problem frequently but it develope the successful real estate business due its strict construction laws. So the actual problem is not the earthquake its actually the plannings of countries against any disaster. So the countries where natural disasters like land slides and earthquake are rare people invest in realstate there confidently because the profit margin is high and risk is low. So real state is a profitable business even in countries like Japan but it requires proper construction plane and safe zone.

Property is indeed identified as a valuable investment in life. However, as you mentioned, there are several things that must be analyzed and researched before purchasing real estate or property.

At the very least, the following points must be carefully considered and researched to avoid regretting purchasing the property:
1. Location (choose one that is already well-established and will develop in the future)
2. Away from disaster-prone areas: floods, landslides, and others
3. Consider the soil structure: Some locations are prone to shifting or shifting soil structure. Avoid these areas, as they can cause damage if a building is built on them, as renovations will be more frequent due to the shifting soil.
4. Pay attention to permits: Some areas are prohibited from building on, so pay attention to permits and permits.
5. Ensure the validity of the permits. Avoid obtaining duplicate certificates, as this can be very dangerous in the future.

I learned all of this from chatting with many people. also read some articles to help in more detail when buying property in real life.

Bro, you are right. There are some countries that have areas which can be concerning while buying land there, like the Ring of Fire and the Alpide Belt. But there are also some countries where we don't have to worry about seismic activity that much because the risk there is too low, and we already have seismic hazard maps that show us the highest risk areas, so we should avoid them, but only if we have this information in mind.

We should buy land situated on cratons. That's one big filter that narrows down our choices, and then we can choose a good place. Although when we want to buy property in a place to sell or rent, this is usually the last thing someone would notice. The other things would be the benefits of the property to others, which could increase its demand or generate more rent for you.

After reading different replies, first idea that came to my mind is not about natural disasters or ground fertility to ditermine the value of the location. It's about the world leader in real estate investments during the last two decennies which is the Emirates. This state in the arabic Gulf was the heaven of real estate investors as it recieves investments from all arround the world giving the estates a huge prices compared to its real value. Personally I know who sold everything he owns just to invest in buying a small appartment in one of the residential towers in Dubai which generated a fortune for him.

Since less than 3 months, everything has changed to the worst. The war against Iran affected the Gulf states in general and specifically the UAE in particular because it received the majority of the strikes from Iran, which push residents to run from the country moving their assets abroad. This affected significantly the real estate sector at the point it can be said the most damaged sector. Sometimes natural disasters can be human made.

I second, real estate in Africa is actually top notch and very profitable compared to many other parts of the world atm…. The sector is growing really fast, especially in developing areas, and people who understand the game are already taking advantage of it before prices go even higher.. Land appreciation alone here is something attractive..

What even makes it more attractive is that in many African countries, you can still get lands at affordable prices in developing areas and after some years the value appreciates heavily..
