According to a recent survey*, the most important factor for high-net-worth individuals (HNW_I’s) when investing in residential real estate is the long-term capital appreciation.
The Top 5 factors, in order of importance, were:
1. Capital Growth
2. Stability of Asset
3. Yield
4. Tax Benefits
5. Environment Considerations
Interestingly, there were regional nuances. For instance, for HNW-I’s located in South America and Middle East, yield was the most important factor.
