Want Help With Your Real Estate Investing?
There are so many ways to make money in real estate investing it can be challenging to know where to start and where to focus. To make matters worse, the rules of real estate investing are constantly changing based on market conditions, geography and most importantly …. YOU as an investor are constantly changing. I frequently say “There is no such thing as a good or bad investment. There are only investments that are appropriate or inappropriate for your situation and timing.” If you’d like to know where you are going and what to invest in, it is essential to have a clearly defined personal investment philosophy.
To develop or redevelop your personal investment strategy, here are a few key questions to ask yourself:
