Regardless of what you hear in the news, today’s local real estate market offers a variety of opportunities to build wealth and realize long-term investment goals. The following are some windows that are currently open:

• Retirement Investments: By owning real estate as part of your overall investment portfolio, you can realize much of your retirement being funded by others. Tax advantages and appreciation can be maximized to be extremely effective in helping fund your retirement. If we could find you a home for a couple of hundred dollars a month, would you be interested?
• Dream Home Purchase: Are you in the market for a larger home, a home on acreage, or a home in a better neighborhood? Would you like to live on a golf course, in the mountains or in a home with a view? Would you like to be able to walk to work, have a guest house or live in a better school district? Have you ever dreamed about owning land and building your dream home? Have you ever dreamed of owing a vacation home in an exotic locale? Now is a great time to purchase an lock in the lower prices currently available.
• Additional Income: Have you thought about owning rental income property? Have you ever wanted to buy a fixer and do a complete makeover? Have you thought about owning land in a rural area? When you retire, would you like to have a monthly income stream to augment your pension?
• College Education Funding: If your children or grandchildren are young, have you thought about buying a home to fund their college educations? Would you like to be in a position to help children and/or grandchildren buy their first home?
• Tired of Making Someone Else’s House Payment?: Opportunities abound for the first-time home buyer. Interest rates are at historical lows, selection of homes on the market are at historical highs, the possibility of incentives will decrease as the market finds its balance and prices have stabilized. How long this perfect storm may last is anyone’s guess, but the opportunity for the first-time buyer is the best it has been in years.
• Buy Low and Sell High is an old adage that we’ve heard forever. However, often people do just the opposite: Buy high and sell low. Today’s real estate market is one of the best in several years for those wishing to move up, buy investment property, plan for retirement, buy their first home, or increasing their net worth.
