Building Wealth Through Real Estate
People often ask me how to build wealth with real estate. This is a pretty big question, and the only things I could recommend would be...patience and time. Particularly with the market that we have here in the Cayman Islands, you cannot buy a property and flip it for lots of money in a few days. It's not as simple as putting on a coat of paint and selling the property for an extra $20,000. Here is some other information that I have written down about investing in real estate:
- Location, location, location: This is the most important thing to consider when investing in real estate.
- To get back to the main question about wealth-building, you have to buy real estate in a key location where you can sell it off in the future to upgrade, or where you can sell it to invest in more properties.
- There is also the stepping stone approach, which I took for about a decade.
- Over the last 10 years I lived in a 1 bedroom, sold it for barely any profit, and then moved into a 2 bedroom. Next I moved into a 2 bedroom with a den, and now I'm in a 3 bedroom on a canal with a boat. However, this took a very long time. (The better part of 10 years)
- There seems to be a recurring theme when I'm guiding clients through this process.
- The theory is that you secure tomorrow with today by sacrificing and compromising the wonderful things in life for your future benefit.
- There is a fine line to this, you can't take all the enjoyment out of your life. However, you need to be forward thinking and plan for the future today.
