First Time Investor Plan B
Hello BP Community,
I am a first time investor and super excited to start this new journey but I am also a VERY cautious person. Everything that I plan I always need to have a plan B, plan C, and even a plan D.
I am looking to invest in property and list them as STR's. In regards to interest rates going up, housing prices slowly going down, and tourism slowly decreasing, what are some good "Plan B" tips that you would provide for a first time investor.
