Positive cash flow is essential in property, regardless of whether you are owning or investing. You must know what costs are associated with your home and ensure you have the cash flow to support it. Property holding costs vary in every country and state, so you must understand what you are up for.
1031 Exchanges and Cash-Out Refis are two very effective and strategic tools to use when investing in real estate. Both can help you defer taxes until a later time, and help you maintain the quality and revenue of your investments. But a solid understanding of these two tools is necessary to properly execute such property transitions, and you should understand the ins-and-outs of these powerful tools before using them to maximize your real estate holdings.
Properties today have such strong positive cash flow that they effectively mitigate the downside risk in further slippage in home price. Also, while prices have fallen throughout the United States, in some areas of the country prices have fallen only slightly, such as in Mississippi, as these areas never had a speculative housing bubble like the East and West coasts did. So there is less downside risk in these markets, generally in the center part of the nation. With the pent-up demand for housing soon to be unleashed and compelling cash flow returns, there has never been a better time to invest in real estate.
