Protecting property in Market Downturns

Ray Hauge

Posted

Real estate is a long-term investment, and market downturns are inevitable. What strategies can I adopt to safeguard my investments during challenging economic times? Should I set aside a portion of net profit to pay down the principal, or is there a better approach that won't hinder portfolio growth?

downturns usually feature a flight to quality. So I would pay special attention to upkeep and updating. When people can get picky at a particular price point that really starts to matter.
