real estate

If you’re looking to diversify your investment portfolio, you may want to consider purchasing investment property.

Depending on how hands-on you want to be, you may want to purchase real estate as a short-term investment; fixing up the property and then selling it immediately for profit. For a long-term investment, rental property can provide a steady income stream over the longer term.

If you buy a home and you have no life insurance, there is a financial risk. It may not be immediately evident, but it must be acknowledged -- and it should be addressed.

Ask anyone and even if they don’t know a thing about investing they’ll say, “oh, real estate is a great investment!”
