Pinellas Realtors on Investing 101 – Top 9 Things Every Investor Needs to Know
- Rely on the numbers instead of your emotions. Investing is different than buying your own personal home (which of course is also an investment but likewise very emotional).
- The difference between investing and speculating is that investing relies on research and number crunching; speculation relies on gut feelings.
- Learn about or work with an agent that knows the difference between positive and negative leverage.
- Learn how to or work with an agent that can calculate the Debt Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR).
- Pinellas real estate investment beat the S&P 500 in appreciation over the past 30 years – and that even factors in the recent crisis.
- ‘Get rich quick’ schemes are just that -schemes. Work with an agent with investment expertise who can assist in your wealth building strategy.
- Learn how to deduct for depreciation and passive activity loss to increase your cash flow.
- Always invest with a clear goal in mind: One that includes an understandnig of a psecific cap rate, cash flow, expected return on investment and exit strategies should you need one.
- As is true with almost all homes for sale, your agent’s commission is covered by the property seller (whether or not you have your own agent). So you can benefit from agent representation and wealth-building planning and guidance at no cost.
