3  real estate investing secrets explained.

1) Make sure that your primary residence is not an investment; it is primarily a place for your family to live. A home offers tax benefits. If financed correctly, it is a hedge against inflation (more on this another day soon) and can provide some long term capital appreciation; but an investment last. Thus you are less affected to short term fluctuations in the market.

2) A rental property must be rented or it can be a very expensive, thus not very profitable investment. He teaches people to own rental properties in places where there are young professionals, a college town, or in an apartment community where there is an on-site leasing and management office with a excellent "low vacancy" record. Some communities are even offering some form of rent guarantee. Don't buy a large home, with a big mortgage, to rent to families. These can be difficult to rent, and costly if vacant.

3) Speculative real estate Investing has to be done prudently, with a different type of real estate than completed single family homes in your "backyard". Commercial real estate (you don't have to be rich) with tenants in a great place to start that will keep you diversified and offers income to pay for your monthly mortgage.

Real Estate can be enriching in more ways than one; but it must be done in a diversified manner and must be financed correctly or what goes up can come down much faster.

I WISH I had a good investor client!  In my limited experience with investors, I've found that they all have their own formula for figuring out what works.

Hi Trisha -- Wise advice.  Some buyers of owner-occupied homes sometimes need to be reminded that it is a home, first and foremost.
