Have you ever felt like you’re flushing your money down the toilet every month? If your investments aren’t performing, it’s not uncommon to feel this way.

Did you know that one of the best investments you can make is in residential real estate? I’m joined today by my friend Doug Pederson, who owns about 750 “front doors” with his company, Twin City Properties. Doug says that one of his favorite things about real estate is that it’s a good investment in good times or bad. The stock market is volatile and can potentially crash, but real estate is a great place to park your cash.

The first real estate investment is the scariest one.
” We’ve all regretted not investing in properties in the past because, as we all know, real estate tends to go up in value. One of the best things about residential real estate is that you have somebody else—a tenant—who is essentially purchasing that piece of property from you. This is a win-win proposition because the tenant has a place to live, and you have somebody else paying your mortgage every month.

Doug cautions first-time investors that the first real estate investment is the scariest one, but it only gets easier from there. Don’t flush your money down the toilet! If you have any questions about getting your foot in the water, so to speak, as far as residential real estate investing, give us a call or send us an email. If you’re a first-time investor, we may even be able to talk Doug into giving you a few lessons in investing. We’d be happy to help you!
