You don’t need to start with an investment property.
You can start with a home.
The important part is choosing the right one.
We are in a buyer’s market, and that gives buyers something they may not have when the market becomes competitive again: time, choice and negotiating power.
For a first time buyer, the goal doesn’t always have to be buying an investment property today.
It could be buying a home that works for you today and gives you more options tomorrow.
Live in it.
Build equity.
Pay down the mortgage.
Move when your life changes.
And if the property and numbers make sense, you may have the option to keep it and rent it.
That is how your first home could potentially become your first investment.
Remember 2020 to 2022?
When the market gets hot, buyers compete for what is available. Prices can move quickly and the luxury of choosing carefully becomes much smaller.
I’m not saying that 2020 to 2022 is coming back.
I’m saying you have a different opportunity today.
Don’t wait until everyone wants to buy again to start thinking strategically.
If you’re a first time buyer, let’s look beyond the question of what you can afford.
Let’s look at what the right property could potentially do for you in the future.
Your first purchase deserves a strategy.
