How to determine your investment real estate strategy
Steve Straub, CMPS with Straub Consulting in Portland, OR shares the most important way to determine your personal real estate investment strategy. According to Steve, it’s not inconceivable for investors to have an investment property by the end of the year and multiple properties at the end of the decade. As Steve says, “…it’s not about the money, it’s about the choices you have…” Many potential investors become shortsighted and focus more upon the immediate chaotic nature of the media instead of following long-term trends. In the historical trends, a real estate investor can see the consistent appreciation of real estate values decade after decade.
