Great Time For Real Estate Investing
You’ve probably heard or read that now is a great time to invest in real estate. Prices are down (!), interest rates are low (!), but you hesitate. It sounds too good to be true and you’ve been burned before. Remember the dot-com bubble? Yet, your interest is piqued because your savings and investments are basically flat-lining, if you’re lucky. Is there really a way to leverage your long-term savings dollars into a steady cash flow that will pay for your child or grandchild’s college? Or, provide enough retirement income to travel and live the way you want to?
Purchasing and owning residential rental property can be an excellent investment right now, but it’s very important that you understand many factors before jumping in and buying what you think is a “deal”.
