Real Estate Investments

In Real Estate 3 words are or where key “Location Location Location” seems like in the last few years its changed to “Timing Timing Timing”. This has seem to play a bigger roll then location lately. What if I bought 5 years ago at the top or held off till 2 years ago? That 3 years made a big difference in the price of that investment. Well you want to buy real estate low and sell it high right?

In the last few years we have seen a rise in what I call opportunity sellers. Doesn’t mean the property are not good, but the seller may have just want to sell one property to refinance or pay of another. Their loss is may be your opportunity; Buy low as Cap rates are high and the income is good. Some areas your buying the property less then replacement values.

Next, according to many analysts, I look at possibility of a rise in interest rates in the next few years. So I shy away from bonds with duration over 3-5 years. To replace bonds in the income strategy you may want to look at Real estate as an alternative real asset. As some of you may be closer to retirement or possibly already there you want to take out the volatility of your statements.
