Time to Consider Investment Property

Interest rates are going up and will go up further in the future.  The stock market most of Silicon Valley buys in taking a BEATING.  There are no vestal virgins in the temple the Visigoth's have taken them home.

So where do you put your investment savings.  One area that has always held up is rental or income producing real estate.  From single family homes, multi-family and apartment buildings.  They offer cash flow and tax shelter with appreciation from the growth in income to the amortization of mortgages.

I have a great You Tube visual for you to watch.

If you've ever thought about buying an investment property, here's a solid video from the "Meet Kevin" youtube channel. 

Kevin definitely gives some solid "insider" tips in this video.

The Problems are the Path: FED calls interests rates Wednesday January 31

On Wednesday the FED will tell what the tendency is for lowering interest rates.  If you readers just rely on CNBC, Bloomberg or some Social Media Site, I suggest you get on the St. Louis Federal Reserve Bank's mailing list.   Add to the Wall Street Journal and the U.S.  Census Department.  With those three sources you will not find yourself being jerked around by Media promotions and investment banks and advisors promoting their positions.   The Wall Street Journal had a list of the four new members of the Federal Reserve Voting Panel.  All four say too soon to cut rates.  The Federal Reserve so indicted the same.  The U.S.  Census reports showed slight declines in inflation with nothing near 2% annual rates.  The Census also stated POSITIVE growth in the US Economy.  All quite good for high interest rates.  It would appear to me why cut rates if the economy is doing so well?  The next issue the FED Governors must be looking at are housing prices and rents.  The Gen Z cannot affor

The problems are the Path: Recession, SBA Loans for Income Property

 As I look at the commentary from Media I am reminded of the research articles while in the investment business.  If the Firm had a good relationship in investment banking the Stock Brokerage firm involved never had a bad commentary. They had a hold or accumulate.  Never a Sell was issued unless the firm were no longer investment banking clients.   To me the same is true for real estate commentary.  When one looks at the various papers that service a local market will never have anything negative.  One can only look at the advertisements and find the dominance of realtor adds.  To say the least, keep the clients happy! With the advent of internet news and the various services that provide us with updates and commentaries we now get some news that puts a true light on our real estate market.  Now, that is not to say that real estate is not a good investment or should be looked at as a negative for home residential purposes.  It only means that sellers need to become aware of the real va
