🏠 vs 📈 - A Fresh Look at Real Estate and Dividend StocksHey there, fellow investors!

Southern Maine is a great market for long-term rentals, with strong demand in many areas.

Too many newbies seem to think they can blindly follow "old" advice in today's real estate market and be successful.Many, basically get taken advantage of by those in the industry that have an incentive to keep newbies blind to new realties, just to keep their good times rolling.What many newbies have figured out is that they can't make the numbers work on rental purchases in their states - like California, Arizona, New York, New Jersey, Washington, etc.What they have NOT figured out is that if they go to cheaper markets, they aren't being shown Class A rentals to buy.

Hey Stepan, Some changes I'm advising and seeing my clients implement are expecting an extra 3 months of holding time and undervaluing the ARV just a bit due to high inventory on the market. 

@James TobinJames, congratulations on deciding to take the first step into real estate investing!

I have used both TSP loan and HELOC to purchase investment...I certainly thought the ROI from real estate was better than relying on highly fluctuating stock market. 

My name is Abigail and I a nurse in Tyler and a newbie real estate investor!

If you’re just getting started in real estate, feel free to reach out – I’ve been coaching a new investor in the Houston market for a while and am happy to help you however I can.

@Chris ShonYes, a real estate accountant is worth what you pay them.

@Linda PhamAll our midterm rentals are in Colorado as are our clients, so I don't know Houston's market.
