When the investor is renting his house currently and wants to buy it without credit, it can be a good decision (extremly rare situation). But usually people buy it on credit. Before borrowing, it can be very useful to get the prices of the debt from a lot of credit companies and compare them. The total fees of the companies can be extremly different. The best situation to buy a home on credit when the investor has got so much capital and regular income that his weekly fee of the credit is going to be as much as the weekly renting fee (or lower). In this case the investor is going to own a property in the future when things are going strong and not paying the rental fee. Moreover, it is always a good decision to reduce the living costs to benefit from capital building.

An other situation is when the investor currently owns a house, but has got capital and regular income to purchase a bigger house. In this case it is not a good decision to buy a new home. When he buys a new home (and he is using the new one and selling the old one), he is going to renovate it. The investor is living in the house, so the house deteriorates. It is better to pay in this situation his credit back and start to save money for another house or flat.

When the investor owns a house and does not have any credit on it and has got enough capital to buy a new house or flat without credit, investing in real estate can be profitable. The investor buys the real estate and he can rent it and he can take advantage or the growing price of the house/flat. There are certain times when the price of the real estate is falling, but on a long term the price of them is going to improve. This kind of investment is a good way to reserve capital.
