There is plenty of speculation right now about current market conditions. While many economists weigh in on the discussion, there is a pretty simple approach to things. When the market is down, you buy. When it’s high, you sell. Seems pretty simple, huh? It clearly takes a more effort and thought than that, but by using this simple principle, the Real Estate Network has managed to acquire a few properties along the way, both for ourselves and for our clients.

The first rule of thumb when it comes to investing is to figure out a) what your long term plan is and b) how that fits in with current economic trends. For example, the pros and cons of buying a triplex are very different from buying a 500 sq foot studio from plans. If the rental market is very strong, then the triplex would give you income straight away. However, if you want something a little more low maintenance and the rental market is wavering, the studio to be built in 3 years may be more favourable.

Real Estate - A Solid Investment

The nice thing about real estate is that overall it is a solid investment. It’s easy to understand, and if you choose the right type of property, can be relatively low maintenance. There are clearly some pitfalls to watch out for, but with a little bit of knowledge, you could be an investor before you know it.
