Top 5 Reasons to Successfully Manage your Largest Asset.<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A key to successful finances and a cornerstone to building wealth and creating financial security is Real Estate. There are several stages in life where making Smart decisions at those Pivot points will make the difference between success and something less.  Managing your cash flow and equity related to your home is based in the fundamental understanding and following \u201cThe Four Steps to Financial Freedom\u201d<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smart Home Buying<\/a><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Most people aspire to own a home and believe it is very important to their financial success, however being able to articulate why is more difficult, other than a belief. There are key concepts to understand when buying a home- Leverage, Equity, Cash Flow and Taxes.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Cash Flow and Tax Planning Strategies<\/a><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Since homes tend to consume the largest percentage of our income and the taxes related to real estate ownership reduce our wealth, it makes a lot of sense to spend some time focusing on improving those outcomes.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Diversification and Growing your Assets<\/a><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Will protect you \u2013 keeping \u201call your eggs in one basket\u201d has never been a wise idea and yet a vast majority of Americans have more wealth inside their homes than all their other assets combined. Successfully using home equity over time, as the value of our home increases, is simply a way of diversifying our assets and building wealth.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Retirement and Education Planning<\/strong> <\/a><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Many strategies to pay for retirement or education use Real Estate as a foundation.  There are several misconceptions about real estate and borrowing that cost homeowners time and money and may not be the most efficient way to build the funds needed to pay for retirement or education.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Grow your Real Estate Portfolio<\/a><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Making money in Real Estate seems simple from the outside, we have all heard or seen folks building mini-empires with multiple properties.  However, for every successful investor there are hundreds that failed and lost money. Finding, acquiring, and managing property is a learned skill \u2013 it takes time, funds, significant effort and a bit of luck! The decision processes for Investment properties are very different from a Primary or Vacation home.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
