The best alternative to stocks and crypto: Valvest

For many, following their stocks and crypto portfolio through a rollercoaster of price drops and rises is emotionally exhausting. So what is the stable, hands-off alternative? Valvest!

With Valvest, you can invest in a project in Spain within minutes and earn from rental income and appreciation, without the burden of real estate abroad.

Let's look at the two biggest advantages of real estate investment through Valvest:

Consistent cash flow

With real estate, you receive monthly rental income from the tenants in your properties, providing a reliable and stable income. Although vacancy can be a risk, rental income from valuable properties is often well predictable and steady: the same amount arrives in your bank account every month.

This is why many investors choose to use real estate to build a passive income, which provides an extra income stream in addition to their regular work and helps achieve financial independence.

Long-term appreciation in value

Real estate has historically been characterized by strong and consistent long-term value appreciation. While it is impossible to predict the future precisely, recent data indicate that these increases are likely to continue.

In Spain, the Spanish Association of Property Managers (Asociación Española de Empresas de Servicios de Inversión Inmobiliaria) reported an average increase in property values of about 5.3% per year through 2023. This indicates that the positive trends in the real estate market in Spain are likely to continue.

Even more benefits

In addition to stable returns, there are other benefits where Valvest is a better alternative than stocks or crypto. Some examples are:

Spreading risk

An essential lesson in investing is not to put all your capital into one investment. Investing always involves risk, so if one investment falls in value, other investments can protect your portfolio from significant losses. At Valvest, each project is a stand-alone entity, so if you spread across several projects, the risk will also be spread.

Protection against inflation

Real estate is the asset class most sensitive to inflation. When prices rise, both the value of residential real estate and rents increase. This is because most leases have an arrangement for annual rent increases that move with inflation. As a result, real estate provides valuable protection against the effects of inflation.

Low volatility

If you've invested in crypto, you probably know how volatile this market can be. Prices can sometimes rise or fall by double digits, especially under the influence of external factors such as covid or celebrities. Although stocks tend to be somewhat less volatile than crypto, they can still fluctuate quite a bit. Real estate, on the other hand, offers a much more stable alternative with lower volatility and a more reliable stream of returns.
