Hello,

Hello,

How much money can you make from real estate.Is it better to invest in real estate then for example index funds.

IF yes can you please tell me why?In index funds you can make about 10% per year.

How much can you make from real estate and what are the risks.Is it possible for you to tell per year how much in % will or could my money grow on avrage realistic numbers only.

One complication is that taxation from real estate can be different for a foreign national investing in US real estate. I don't remember the specifics, but an international partner on one of my flips had all kinds of headaches with his tax reporting, to the point where he hasn't invested in US real estate again. 

I'd talk with someone who's familiar about the tax burdens you might face as a foreign national investing in the USA before you dive in.  To my experience, index funds will not give you that same headache if you're investing. Then again, I'm not a foreign national.

In real estate investing, I usually turn money over twice a year and average return on investment per property is around 18%, so usually 36% ROI in a year. I do flips primarily, I don't buy and hold.
