Advantages

What are the benefits of investing with InvestPro?
InvestPro is a reliable real estate investing company. This is a unique opportunity to comfortably and safely invest any amount from $ 30,000 in carefully selected objects of the best quality.
InvestPro is not only an investment platform, but also a professional team that performs the most complex and troublesome tasks for you:

Selection and thorough comprehensive audit of objects (profitability, commercial, legal, technical and other parameters)
Search for co-investors and safe transaction support
Maintenance and management of facilities after the purchase (solving issues with tenants, utilities and government)

What is the difference between InvestPro and bank deposits and other financial instruments?
Real estate investments with InvestPro have several advantages over other financial instruments: they are much more profitable than bank deposits, the average rate on which is on average 3% per annum. Compared to mutual funds, real estate investments are much more transparent since the investor selects a specific building and can get complete information about it before the transaction. Compared to exchange-traded instruments, real estate investments are safer and provide a yield of 15-20% per annum, taking into account the growth in the value of real estate itself. When investing in real estate, the buyer bears lower inflationary and devaluation risks (the risk of depreciation of the national currency), since the value of real estate grows with inflation and is revalued taking into account the current economic situation. Investing with InvestPro is a unique chance to protect and maintain the real value of your assets and receive regular income, protected from inflation
