If you can bet right on real estate and get it right, then there areno limits to how far you can go in terms of maximizing your earnings.
• Timing the market correctly and reaping its rich rewards can be summed up with just one age-old saying that is sure to keep you thinking.“If you are close to a waterfall you are bound to get wet”

• Individuals live in the past and always worry about their financial future. Investors tend to treat their entire net worth as a function of three things: Current income+ Current assets+ Future income.
• Getting the right tenant mix is important. Analyse where residents go to work and see if there are any huge job cuts happening in the area where you are planning to buy property.
