You heard right; a tankless water heater investment can be more profitable then the stock market. Most already know that the stock market is a powerful long-term investment tool earning an average 10% on the dollar. But very few know that a tankless water heater investment can earn returns over 15% on the dollar-trumping oven even the savviest or luckiest investors today.
Tankless water heaters are for more energy efficient than ordinary tank water heaters. Unlike a regular water heater that constantly heats water in a storage tank, a tankless water heater stores no hot water and heats water only when you need it. Hence, be converting to a tankless water heater you save 50% instantly on you gas bill. Your savings rate easily can equal 10% of the cost of the tankless water heater. Just like that, you earned 10% on your investment.
Tankless investments have an important tax loophole. After federal, state, city and FICA taxes, investors lose 40% or more of their stock return. In other words, your 10% stock return is reduced to 6% after taxes. Thankfully, Uncle Sam cannot tax your savings-a powerful tax loophole. When you lower your gas bill, your savings represent tax-free dollars that go 100% into your pocket. Therefore, you have a true after tax net earnings of 10%, not 6% like the stock market. If you calculate your tankless profit return on a gross tax basis, it is over 15%. In addition, because tankless water heaters are so energy efficient, Uncle San also gives you a $300 federal tax rebate (on certain models)-increasing your investment profits even further.
Some other advantages of tankless water heaters are:
Low risk. A tankless water heater investment is as close to a sure thing as you can possibly get. Imagine beating the stock market, but with the safety of a savings account.
Rising natural gas prices. Tankless hedges your risk against rising natural gas costs.
Lower flood risks. Tankless reduces your risk of costly floods commonly associated with regular tanks.
Diversify. Successful investors diversify risk-there is nothing quite like a tankless investment in your portfolio today.
Increase real estate value. Tankless instantly increases home values because it frees up valuable real estate space (especially states like California)
While the naysayer makes a good point, stocks appreciate while in 20 years a tankless water heater will need replacement, this makes the case for tankless stronger. The average household goes through two to three tank water heaters in 20 years; it is money you have to spend anyways. Therefore, your true investment is zero dollars, and you are earning money by doing nothing different-using hot water. Another argument is that stocks have compounding interest rates, tankless do not. This is true, tankless investments earn simple interest. The solution is simple; you can earn compound interest by investing your savings back into your stock market account.
Don’t forget, not only is a tankless investment money smart, it is loaded with lots of other benefits; endless hot water, environmentally friendly, space savings, 50 years of proven technology, and safety. You already consume hot water on a daily basis-why not earn money for doing it?
