Leveraging Real Estate for Retirement:

“Having been a physical property that holds the characteristics of appreciable value and having the general perception of experiencing value appreciation over time, real estate is valuable for retirement planning because of its history of value appreciation. It means that, while buying property to rent it could provide the retiree with some additional income and, possibly, a capital gain, all this is additional to the retiree’s pension savings” asserts, Arman Minas, Director at Armstone. Additionally, the group of retirees with real estate properties has some flexibility and the option to change the size of the property when they deem it appropriate regarding the need for a change in living conditions or their financial status.

Understanding Annuities as a Retirement Solution:

“Annuities are financial instruments known to give consumers steady distributions over a specific period or an instant amount after a definite time. Annuities are mainly used to serve as part of retirement plans where one in return will receive a certain amount of money at a later date. Through pensions, retired citizens can have financial security where they are assured of income that will enable them to meet their daily needs as well as other expenses incurred in their everyday living thus fulfilling the purpose of a pension” says, Corey Longhurst, Head of Growth at LegalOn.

Integrating Real Estate and Annuities:

“When it comes to retirement planning, two asset classes can be incorporated into a portfolio to ensure that diversification has been accomplished and this involves investing in real estate and buying of annuities. For example, rents from the real estate property can be employed for daily use while on the other hand annuities as an investment can be employed to provide fixed income without reliance on the market value of the real estate property. By applying this approach, it will be easier for the retirees to manage their investment risks in that they shall not fully rely on a single investment venture, but instead, they can look for more investment opportunities, to be able to earn more income from different investment ventures apart from the retirement income” says, Derek Bruce, Director of the Mental Health First Aid Course.

Tax Implications and Considerations:

According to Timothy Allen, Director at Oberheiden P.C., “When outlining strategies for a successful retirement, it is crucial to have some background of the taxes linked to real estate and annuity. Real estate property is one of the most attractive investments that people can take up due to the many benefits that are associated with it for tax status for instance tax on mortgage interest, tax on property, and depreciation tax. However, the tax bracket of a retiree may be influenced by other incomes such as that from real estate and income derived from annuities which could raise the level of tax payable.” Managing these complexities is best done with the help of a financial advisor to discuss and fully explore the possible ways to minimize the tax shield or liabilities as well.

Estate Planning and Legacy Considerations:

“When regarding real estate and annuities as a part of the retirement plan, you will need to consider estate planning and other heirs’ issues. On the other hand, annuities typically end upon the death of the annuitant unless added provisions, such as a death benefit, are negotiated at the time that the annuities are arranged. The estates of the property include real estate that an individual possesses and in many cases can be inherited by other people” asserts, Scott Dingman, CEO of Structured Settlement Annuities. He adds, “There are always dreams about what one wants to achieve financially; one always wants to be assured that after a person is gone, their legacy and their beneficiaries will be well taken care of.”
