#94 Christina Suter: Education- Investing in Appreciating Markets & What Works

“It’s a gamble from my perspective of being a long term investor in positive cash flow properties. The market is defining itself based on those buyers, which is what I’m seeing because the price of multi units are buying and selling off of that.” -Christina Suter

 

Today I am continuing with last week’s show about appreciating markets and what works. Depending on your investing style and where you are investing, appreciating markets can be a great way to invest if you know when and how to do so. In appreciating markets, the land is worth more than the property meaning that it can be harder to get a positive price to rent ratio. In markets like Southern California, New York and San Francisco it can be hard to find properties as well as have a goal of positive cash flow for the first few years. What you are waiting for in appreciating markets is the yearly rent increases that will eventually over time, put you in a positive cash flow. There are strategies that many investors use in high appreciating markets that make these investments worth it.
