Wondering how you can increase cash flow this year (I mean, honestly, who isn’t?). ⁣
⁣
Have you considered investing in real estate? It’s not difficult to get started, and the barrier to entry is low! ⁣
⁣
Here are three reasons you should consider it:⁣
⁣
1. You'll have that cash flow you wanted. When you’re the landlord, those rent payments come to you every month -- and that’s a really great feeling.⁣
2. Your property will typically Increase in value. In a few short years, you’ll be able to sell your property for considerably more than you paid for it -- the average annual appreciation ranges from 3-5%.⁣
3. You'll own an improvable asset. With a little elbow grease, you can improve your property, increasing curb appeal and value. ⁣
⁣
Add these reasons to the historically-low interest rates floating around, and now is a great time to consider an investment property. Have questions? Send me a message and let’s connect.⁣

You’d think with more time at home I’d be motivated to stay on top of housework. If only it were that easy, huh? ⁣
⁣
The good news is there’s no need for any of us to be in a constant cleaning frenzy. Here's what Good Housekeeping recommends be done weekly:⁣
⁣
• Change sheets⁣
• Dust surfaces and furniture⁣
• Vacuum and mop floors⁣
ª Wash towels⁣
ª Clean bathrooms⁣
• Toss expired food⁣
⁣
Owning a home is a lot of work but totally worth it! If you’re looking to buy and need a realtor you can trust like a friend, send me a message. I’d love to connect.
