This Crazy World

[Tom Olson]

Hi all, Tom Olson here thinking about you this 4th of July weekend. I wanted to send out a special email letting you know what has been going on in this crazy head of mine.

The world is a crazy place. People doing crazy things. Politicians enacting crazy laws. Radio, television, and the internet all combine to spread the message of craziness until we are fully overwhelmed in everything going on today. The great recession was followed by slower than expected recovery, and we are daily convinced that the economy will be worse tomorrow than it is today.

In the end, we are tempted to believe that our current state will never improve, that there is no hope for tomorrow, and that the wisest financial decision would be to bury your money under a tree.

Hold up.

There might not be a better time to buy real estate. Think about it.

There is craziness in the world. Look out the window and that becomes obvious. If you’re willing to look above the craziness, though, logic emerges. These bad times are not unlike bad times before, and the bad times before were always followed by good times. As Warren Buffett said, “In the business world, the rearview mirror is always clearer than the windshield.” Every economic downturn eventually ended with an energized and growing market that grew bigger than before.

Sure, this sounds like a cheesy pep talk from a high-school football coach after his team goes winless on the season, but look at it from a real estate standpoint. If things are bad now, that means they are cheap now. If things are going to get better later, they will be more expensive later. Why not take advantage of the fact that bad ends, and good means more expensive?

The old adage, “Buy Low, Sell High” is one of the most overused and underutilized phrases in investing. Everyone knows it, no one follows it. Fear halts progress, doubt overrules logic, and inactivity creates yet another missed opportunity. Why not look at the times as temporary and get ahead? There is a realistic chance that things will not get this bad again any time soon.

I developed my Active Turnkey Program for just this reason. To help investors get ahead in times when everyone else is falling behind. Stocks are as volatile as ever, bonds give bring return, and real estate is cheap. Let us help you build your financial strategy, and see what rentals can do for you!

Be Blessed!
