It can be a little scary to check the markets right now, wouldn’t you agree? But before you start to stress, we want to encourage you to take a step back.

Check out the attached fact sheet — in an exclusive interview on The Brian Buffini Show podcast, real estate leader Brian Buffini spoke with Dr. Lawrence Yun, Chief Economist and Senior Vice President of Research at the National Association of REALTORS®, to separate market fact from fiction during these unusual times.

​As always, if there is anything we can do to help you, please give us a call!

To invest or not to invest, that is the question! An investment in real estate, if done responsibly, can significantly build your financial portfolio. It can be difficult to know where to start, but once you dive in, the return on investment can be quite lucrative.

This month, we're sending you information to help you understand investment properties — the things to know before you decide to buy. Get insights on choosing the right property, understanding the costs and working with tenants. You will also learn about the benefits of owning an investment home and the wonders it can work for your equity.

If you’re considering buying a second property in the near future, give us a call! We're happy to discuss what that process would look like for you, and offer some potential places to look into so that you make the smartest possible investment.
