The best location for building investment is here! 51 investment zones recommended by the "Building God"
Epilogue.
The more you know, the more you see, and the more you get sucked into the real estate investment market.

The building investment market remains unshaken.

As economic instability continues, including prolonged stagnation and inflation, reports have been pouring in that the real estate market is also entering a recession.
Some interpret rising interest rates as a shrinking of the building investment market, but this does not apply to the building investment market.
In fact, even in 2022, when interest rates soared, building prices in Seoul did not fall.
It was different from the sharp drop in apartment prices in Seoul during the same period.
Since the building market is not one where the 'young-kul tribe' can easily enter like apartment investment, it has the basics to cope with most economic fluctuations.
Also, since rental income is generated monthly, there is less burden on bank interest.
Even in new buildings, the rent difference between them and existing buildings is nearly double.
In times like these when the real estate investment environment is volatile, it is important to have the fundamentals down.
If you have a solid foundation, you can develop your own investment philosophy without being swayed by the atmosphere.
Location analysis is one of the most fundamental skills required for a successful real estate investment.


Location depends on whether the commercial area can generate profits.

The first rule of property investment is to generate steady income.
To generate revenue, you need to know the characteristics of the commercial area.
A building that generates consistent and stable investment returns must be located in a location with good commercial districts.
The better the commercial district, the more it must satisfy two conditions: first, it must have the appeal to attract people, and second, it must have the power to maintain that appeal.
The author chose Gangnam Station intersection as a representative area corresponding to this.
A commercial district that accepts new trends and cultures in real time will not decline.
Of course, there are also opposite cases.
Itaewon's Gyeongridan-gil became known as the hippest mecca in Seoul through word of mouth.
Shops and restaurants continued to prosper, leading trends.
However, as land prices and rents soared and profits fell short of expectations, tenants began to leave Gyeongridan-gil.
The streets became deserted as if nothing had happened, and as commercial districts declined, building vacancy rates also increased.
The golden age of business, which was expected to continue, suddenly entered a downward spiral.
It's because even though it had charm, it lacked the power to maintain it.


Knowing the location reveals the building's future value and money.

The author divided Seoul into six chapters, categorized promising areas, and designated key blocks among them to analyze their location characteristics, development potential, and future value.
Among them, the first region to be analyzed in depth was Gangdong-gu.
Gangdong-gu is expected to become the second largest growth engine in Korea with the opening of the Sejong-Pocheon Expressway, which will provide a well-connected transportation network in all directions, and to leap forward as a central city by absorbing surrounding satellite cities.
If we imagine Gangdong-gu a few years from now, a powerful city that is not inferior to Gangnam will unfold before our eyes.
Yongsan also has the advantage of being located in the heart of Seoul, and the relocation of the US military base has made redevelopment, which had been blocked, possible.
The author recommends looking at the area west of the maintenance depot in front of Yongsan Station, from the north end of Wonhyo Bridge behind Yongsan Station toward Seoul Station, as the development of the site is nearing completion.
It is said that the future value is promising as it becomes a complex development site along with the development of an electronic shopping mall.
If you understand the position and draw a picture like this, you will find the answer to your investment.


Comprehensive information on areas benefiting from transportation and redevelopment

How much can we trust the information about development plans pouring out from the news and real estate forums? Is it too late to invest now? For real estate investors grappling with these concerns, the author meticulously and objectively analyzes and identifies areas that will benefit.
There are three areas that will benefit the most from the undergrounding of the 6.8 km/m section of the Gyeongbu Expressway from Hannam to Yangjae IC in Seoul.
The sections are between Bangbang Intersection and Nambu Terminal, between Nonhyeon Station and Banpo Station, and between Gangnam Station and Gyodae Station. Of these, the section between Gangnam Station and Gyodae Station deserves special attention.
However, it is pointed out that caution should be exercised when investing in buildings in Bangbae-dong, where the redevelopment project is being completed with the opening of the Seoripul Tunnel.
As the wind of redevelopment blows, prices rise too much in a short period of time, so even if large apartment complexes are built, the investment returns on buildings may only follow the market rate of return.
