Four benefits that you enjoy when you invest in real estate long distance. The ability to compete, the ability to know that you have a decent chance at winning that bid. Number two, diversification. You get to spread out your capital and your investments in a way that reduces the overall risk of your portfolio. Benefit number three, your returns, the price to rent ratio in the area where you're choosing to invest,. And number four, repeat ability, meaning the ability to take what you've learned and re apply it over and over and over again.
#379: Welcome to our First Friday bonus episode.
Once a month, Afford Anything presents a special feature called Invest Anywhere, in which we teach our audience how to invest in real estate from thousands of miles away.
We kickoff today’s episode by discussing current market conditions. Yesterday the Fed raised interest rates by another 50 basis points, which means mortgages are more expensive than they’ve been in years. Additionally, jittery investors worried about an impending recession led the stock market to its worst day of the calendar year so far.
How should we interpret the current market conditions? Is this a good time to buy an investment property? We cover this in the first 20 minutes of today’s episode.
Next, we discuss 5 challenges associated with investing in long-distance real estate investing: (1) fear, (2) accountability, (3) traction, (4) stress, and (5) relationships.
We elaborate on each challenge and offer solutions.
Finally, we discuss 4 benefits to investing out-of-state: (1) competitive ability, (2) diversification, (3) returns, and (4) repeatability. We elaborate on four types of diversification: economic, strategy, business cycle, and asset based.
Enjoy!
