Deciding on where to invest your money is one of the most important parts of the entire investment process. Real estate represents an excellent investment option for 2016 due to the current instability of stocks and the overall health of the property market.
The CBRE 2017 Global Real Estate Market Outlook suggests that while economies remain volatile, interest rates are low and incomes are rising, which will lead to more spending.

It seems that many parts of the world are turning into rental cultures: rents across a number of major property types are predicted to see some healthy growth in 2017.

As one of the world’s strongest economies, the US is a good indicator for the rest of the world in terms of financial growth.
