One of the best investment strategies in Real Estate is the Buy and Hold which when done properly from the beginning of the transaction can take out unnecessary risk. Properties bought properly or even better purchased at a discount and then rehabbed to add value can be a very lucrative method of building wealth over time.
Many of my clients have done just this over the years building very impressive portfolio’s. The beauty of this strategy is that with the longer term hold as the goal, more options and benefits present themselves. By leasing a property that has a positive cash flow monthly, you are making profits while the tenant is paying down your mortgage. Obviously you can also make money as well if the market goes up in the form of equity, but even if you run into a downturn in the Real Estate market, with the Buy and Hold strategy you can weather any storm.
If you are looking for a new alternative to the stock market or just want to diversify your investment strategy, Real Estate Buy and Hold investing may be for you. Lets discuss a strategy and get you headed in the right direction.
