The one % rule is a broad filtering tool that investors use to reduce a basket of properties. You're likely to find higher cap rates, i e, higher dividends on properties that are in areas where the price to rent ratio is much more investor friendly. And at the end of the day, you want to get a strong dividend on the asset that you're holding.
#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!
