Your lawn care checklist.

With spring fast approaching, it’s time to get back outside and prep your lawn for warmer weather. Here’s a checklist for getting your lawn back in shape after a long winter:

✔️Tune up your mower. Change the oil, air filter and spark plug.
✔️Clean the clutter. Remove branches, leaves, or trash that may have accumulated over the winter.
✔️Weed around the edges to create a clean perimeter.
✔️Seed any spots where the grass has died to start re-growing it in those areas.
✔️If you don’t have grass, fill in any empty patches with landscaping materials.

Don’t forget to prioritize tidying your lawn if you plan to sell your home this spring or summer. The outside of your home is a key first impression for potential buyers.

Have you ever considered investing in a long-term rental property?

This is often referred to as a “traditional” rental (as opposed to a vacation rental) because it acts as the tenant’s primary residence.

If you’re looking to invest money, this can be a strategic choice for a few reasons:

✅Property values tend to rise with (or beat) inflation
✅You can generate a second stream of income
✅It provides a stable return during uncertain times

Learn more about how investing can help you beat inflation, and boost your monthly income, in our new blog post ➡️ http://lindaschaub.myagent.site/hedge-against-inflation-with-these-3-real-estate-investment-types/

Real estate investing can help you beat inflation.

But where should you invest your money? What kind of real estate is most valuable? Here are three investment types to consider:

🏡 PRIMARY RESIDENCE: As inflation raises prices throughout the economy, the value of your home is likely to go up concurrently. If you don’t already own a home, we can help you take this first step.

🏘️ LONG-TERM RENTAL: This is a traditional rental. Think of a one-year lease on a single-family home. Because this serves as a tenant’s primary residence, it’s a necessary expense. Therefore, it helps to provide stable returns in uncertain times, especially when we have high inflation.

🏝️ SHORT-TERM RENTAL: Done right, short-term or vacation rentals can be both a hedge against inflation and a profitable source of income. As a bonus, when the home isn’t being rented you have an affordable vacation spot for yourself and your family!

Selling in a seller’s market.

While there may be more demand for your home, making these mistakes can be detrimental to your success.

❌ Overpricing your home. Setting the price over market value will limit the number of buyers that are interested in looking at your home.

❌ Evaluating offers on price alone. You should also take into account conditions or contingencies and buyer qualifications.

❌ Selling without professional representation. On average, agent-assisted listings sell faster and for more money than those sold by the owner alone.

Selling in a seller’s market can still be challenging if you don’t get the details right.

Why are real estate agents talking about inflation?

Because we want to help you make money—not lose it.

Real estate prices across the board tend to rise along with, and even faster than, inflation. This is one of the reasons demand for real estate is soaring right now.

So instead of placing your money in the bank, where the value of your money will decrease with each year that inflation rises, we encourage you to put it in real estate.

Whether you’re a first-time buyer purchasing a primary residence or you want to invest in an income property, we can help.

Contact us today if you’re curious about how real estate can help you beat inflation.

And while there are many ways to mitigate the financial challenges of inflation (stocks, bonds, commodities), we believe the BEST option is…

🏠 Real estate.

Why? Real estate prices tend to rise along with, and often faster than, inflation. In other words, instead of losing money, you start making money! 🤑
