What You Should Consider About Timing the Market

I don’t believe in trying to time the market; it’s a losing game. We like to tell our clients to consider time in the market instead. And personally, I buy real estate regardless of what’s happening in the economy. There are never perfect conditions, and if you’re looking for reasons to hesitate, you will find them. What I would focus on instead is investing in recession resistant markets that are insulated from huge price swings. Eventually, the market will change! It always does. Hopefully we will see interest rates go back down eventually, in which case you can refinance your investments. It would serve you best to invest when you can, so you have that time in the market to build equity and collect cash flow.

My Thoughts on Investing In Real Estate Notes

Investing in real estate notes through a company like Connect Invest can be a great strategy. I’m not a financial advisor, but personally I’d go this route instead of investing in stocks or crypto. If you’re investing in notes, you can receive high returns. I think it’s a great way to save up for a down payment, if it’s what you choose to do.

How to Learn More About Investing as a Beginner

I loved this question about starting with zero knowledge. Here’s why: it takes a great deal of humility to admit you don’t know something… and that’s also the best way to learn. Here are a few of my favorite resources I can recommend to a brand-new investor for building their financial intelligence:

• Wealth Building Masterclass Series on YouTube
• Financial Freedom Academy 
• Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki
• Tax-Free Wealth by Tom Wheelwright
• The Millionaire Real Estate Investor by Gary Keller
