Investment Properties
I have been a real estate investor since 2008 and finding good and cash flowing investment properties takes a different level of experience and expertise. I have screened hundreds of deals and can find you find the gems when there seems to be no good deals out there. Depending on your investment strategy, I build unique search strategy to fit you needs for cash flow and appreciation.
Real estate is an alternative asset class that offers attractive returns as well as diversification vs. traditional investment options such as stock and bonds. The current interest rate has been at historical low vs prior periods. In addition, the current tax code offers tax incentives for owning investment properties and the capital gains from your investment properties can be (indefinitely delayed) in most cases.
My expansive knowledge in the area of real estate, mortgage, finance, and investments will help you determine the optimal strategy that fits your short-term and long-term investment goals.
The real estate market is competitive in many towns around the Greater Boston area and finding an attractive investment home takes market expertise, time, and efforts. I am looking forward to guide you through this process. Please contact me for an investment strategy session.
