Where and How to Make Successful Real Estate Investments
The recent 2025 investment guide has highlighted how income-generating real estate represents one of the best investments at the moment. Before delving into the specifics of where and how to make successful real estate investments, it is important to clarify the parameters used to evaluate the effectiveness of these assets.
Those who invest in real estate, especially income-generating properties, do so primarily for three reasons:
- Predictable immediate returns from rental income
- Long-term capital gains at the time of resale
- Low volatility and minimal risk, due to reduced fluctuations and the intrinsic value of these assets

In addition to these three key factors, there are two other unique characteristics of real estate investments that set them apart from other forms such as stocks, funds and ETFs, gold and commodities, Bitcoin, and cryptocurrencies:
- Long-term perspective
- Minimal operational involvement
The mindset of real estate investors, in most cases, is more like that of a “buy-and-hold” investor or a bondholder who keeps their assets for years without touching them, rather than that of a speculator used to entering and exiting the market regularly, or even daily.
Where to Make Real Estate Investments Offering Immediate Returns, Capital Gains, Minimal Risks, Low Volatility, Long-Term Perspectives, and Minimal Operational Involvement
As of today, the U.S. real estate market offers ideal conditions for an investor with the characteristics just discussed. This is due to some fundamental and distinctive characteristics of this vast country.
In the United States, most working families do not own the homes they live in, partly to allow for easier relocation between states if required by their jobs. This creates pressure on the rental market (and reduces pressure on the buying market), resulting in high rental profitability for real estate investors.
Due to the attractiveness of these investment properties, in every city, there are many owners who reside in other cities, states, or even other countries. This has led to the emergence of the property manager role and the creation of companies specializing in property management, relieving the owner of any operational responsibilities, including rent collection.
Additionally, in cases of unpaid rent, U.S. law protects landlords with swift evictions carried out by public authorities in just over a month once the court determines that rent has not been paid.
Besides these structural aspects, some additional factors related to the current international economic situation make the U.S. market particularly attractive.
The U.S. GDP is growing at three times the rate of the Eurozone (2.3% vs. 0.7%), making real estate investments based on a more solid and dynamic economy, as well as one that is more advanced compared to emerging countries.
Unlike the Chinese real estate market, which has been in crisis for several years and is not showing signs of recovery, the U.S. market has remained resilient despite the highest interest rates of the past 20 years (up to 5.5%, levels not seen since 2001), which temporarily slowed property sales due to unaffordable mortgages.
Inflation in recent years has led to both an increase in property values and rental prices, which have risen by an average of 21% compared to 2019. This ensures that in the event of future inflationary waves—caused, for example, by expansionary policies announced by Trump and/or trade tariffs—both rental income and capital gains upon resale will rise, benefiting those who invest in real estate in time.
