Real Estate is Always a Great Investment
Around 15 years ago, I sold a house in Barstow that looks just like this for $65,000. I was the listing agent and my client was a very nice foster care mother who needed a move and she needed someone who believed they can really sell her house. Everyone told me ‘don’t go to Barstow, it’s a dump, not worth it, you won’t sell that house”, etc. She needed my help and she was located on California, where I’m licensed, so I went.
Anyhoo, I sold the house fast, I found the buyer myself, double-based the deal and got her more than she expected - my client only expected $50k at most. I sold it for $65,000, which was TOP DOLLAR back then and 23% MORE than my client (or anyone else) expected - and the Buyers LOVED the House!
Now, look, these houses are selling for around $320,000. That’s 5X’s the price in 15 years. The buyers got a great deal and so did the seller.
My point is to say that real estate always appreciates over time. Don’t listen to the naysayers. Real estate is one of the safest investments on the planet and is responsible for 90% of the Millionaires you see today.
Some may say that $320,000 isn’t much, but imagine cashing that check and applying it to your next home purchase in a place you really want to live in? Or using it for retirement?
Imaging being the person who didn’t buy that property, and now, looking back, realizing you haven’t accumulated $320,000 in your account in the same timeline (or could have earned another $320000). 🤷🏽♀️
Real estate for the win!
Real estate is always a great investment. The key mark is timing. It’s a long-term investment, which means you make the most when you hold it for 10 years or more.
Let’s be great and buy some real estate!
