With increasing interest rates, rising unemployment and other factors, real estate investors may have to settle for less profit in the long run, Founder & CEO Edward Ring told KNX News Radio in an interview.

“The days of buying property with near zero interest rate loans and expecting big profits could be over for a while,” Ring said. “You might need to be satisfied with a 10-12% annualized return with your appreciation.”

Although, he noted that even with a lower profit rate, when compared to the volatility or downsides of stocks or other investments, real estate will remain a preferred investment vehicle.
