“Wild Ride” by Kenny Chesney
Diversify, diversify, diversify!! It’s always been the “battle cry” of financial planners. “Don’t put all your eggs in one basket”, my mother used to say. I was always a little confused as we didn’t have any chickens nor did we grocery shop with baskets? Nonetheless, with the wild ride the stock market is taking I’m very happy that not all my “eggs” are in my mutual funds and stock portfolio! My investment real estate feels very good to me. I can drive by, touch it, weed the flower beds. And while someone else pays off my mortgage, I can reap the benefits of an immediate cash flow and tax write-offs! Those are all good reasons to purchase an investment. But, okay, so being a landlord is not your thing!?? Have you considered a vacation or 2nd home? If you can afford the two payments, you might at least get some enjoyment out of your money. Interest rates continue to hover at all-time lows (I just got a 30-yr fixed rate on my investment duplex mortgage at 5.125%. Rates are even lower for owner-occupied). Simply amazing! Market conditions make it particularly attractive to be a buyer (as long as you do your homework). Now the mortgage process may make you temporarily crazy, but if you have a good down-payment and good credit you can reap the benefits of the declined property prices and low interest rates!
The “Oregon Legal Journal” just recently published two articles (July 29, 2010) regarding “Home Buying Applications Sink to 13-Year Low” and “Portland Rental Market Thriving as Home Prices Continue to Decline”. This points to an obvious need for available properties to rent. Just sayin….that I believe in diversity!
