There are many real estate myths out there that need to be debunked!

Here are five pieces of real estate advice to IGNORE:

MYTH: Spring is the best time to sell.
FACT: The best time to sell is when you're ready. Don't rush a major decision when there are perks to selling your home at all times throughout the year.

MYTH: FSBO saves you money.
FACT: Real estate agents are experienced and knowledgeable about home pricing. A good agent can help you get more ROI on your investment.

MYTH: Higher price = higher offer.
FACT: Pricing your home accurately will generate interest among the right buyers, and may even lead to a competitive bid and higher offer price!

MYTH: Open houses sell homes.
FACT: Open houses can be a helpful tool, but your agent should have a broader marketing strategy that also includes social and digital marketing.

MYTH: The first offer is always the best offer.
FACT: Lots of factors come into play here -- contingencies, closing date, down payment amount. Review all the terms of every offer -- don't just pick the highest offer price.

Some things are worth spending your time, energy, and money on. And you already know that investing in yourself and your family has a high rate of return–whether you invest in your health or your family’s education.

There’s one other thing that’s a great return on investment–and it’s real estate! Real estate tends to appreciate over time, making it a safe investment.

And whether you decide to invest in a rental property and make passive income or buy a piece of land and then sell it off in a few years for a profit, you’re sure to make a good investment.

If you’re looking for more information on real estate investments, send a DM, and we'll get you up-to-date!

Being a landlord or owning commercial property isn’t the only way to get passive income through real estate. Short-term rentals are becoming more and more popular because they’re earning the big bucks too!

Last year, short-term rentals earned $56,000 in revenue on average. That’s a lot of passive income.

Say that you’re looking at owning a property in a scenic location. You can easily outfit it for vacationers to earn more than you would with a long-term rental. Bonus: you can vacation at your property in the off-months for basically free!

But short-term rentals can be for more than just vacations. You can also look at tapping into a niche for remote workers and digital nomads, who are always looking for cool places to land and do their work. There’s also definitely a market of people looking for a nice place to relax and recharge with more privacy than a hotel can give them.

Short-term rentals can be a great way to earn passive income without the baggage of becoming a landlord.

If you think a short-term rental could be the right real estate investment strategy for you, just send over a DM, and let's get started!
