First Property Purchase

Aubrey Adams
Posted

Hi, 

My husband and I have been talking about real estate for years. But we just can’t pull the trigger on anything. Any advice on knowing when to purchase, what to purchase, etc. for your first property, would be great! Thank you!

    The best time to buy was 10 years ago. There never is going to be a perfect time. If you wait around trying to time the market for the best time to buy you'll be stuck on the sidelines forever. No matter the market run your numbers and make sure it makes sense for that local area compared to what you can expect. If the returns you can expect in that market don't make sense for what you are looking for put more down to make it break even/ cashflow or look in another market where you can find that
