How To Get Wealthy In Down Markets?

Summary:

• Knowledge of real estate history is necessary for future success in real estate investing.

• Even though "real estate market crashes" can be frightening, it's not always a terrible thing when a bubble bursts.

• Become more knowledgeable about finance so that we can profit from the real estate market crash when it occurs.

Bonus: At the end of today’s article we will cover a Real Estate Blueprint for Freedom.

Given the current surge in the real estate market, many are curious about how long this trend will continue. The next real estate bubble is actually a question that people ask all the time.

Those who do not remember the past are condemned to repeat it. So let's take a moment to refresh our recollections with a quick history lesson. In a few minutes, we will see why it's important.

Do we recall the 2007–2008 global financial crisis? We do, of course. It was a huge catastrophe brought on by the collapse of the U.S. housing bubble and the subprime mortgage crisis. It almost sparked a second Great Depression and was the greatest housing crisis in the nation's history. Why did the bubble form?

1. Price increase. Housing prices began a steady increase in the mid-1990s and continued to rise until 2005, when they peaked in July 2006. In addition to being a fantastic investment, residential real estate also appeared to be extremely secure. In a single year, the housing market in some places, like Phoenix and Las Vegas, increased by about 40%.

2. Low rates of interest. The Federal Reserve dramatically lowered interest rates and then kept them there for a long time after the tech bubble burst in the early 2000s and the terrorist acts of September 11, 2001. Everyone took out loans since it was so simple. Because they could obtain the loans, people purchased homes that were more expensive than they could afford.

Subprime borrowers eventually struggled with excessive debt and were unable to make their mortgage payments.

Gum bubbles can only get so large before popping, as anyone who has ever eaten gum knows. And that's exactly what took place: The boom crashed when property prices eventually became unaffordable. Many homeowners and investors were taken by surprise, and in 2008, the number of foreclosure filings in the United States increased by almost 81%.

Years Later

A lot of people were still wondering why financial professionals and economists were unable to foresee the housing bubble and warn of its impending collapse. Now, perhaps scarred by their experience more than ten years ago, everyone is more shrewd and alert for the warning signals of another bubble popping. Will it occur once again soon?

We may use a number of metrics to assess the state of the housing market in 2023. Let's look at current figures:

1. Increased costs for housing. According to Bankrate.com, June marks the seventh consecutive month that home values have risen nationwide. To put it briefly, the national composite has increased by 4.7%, which is more than the median growth for a complete calendar year in over 35 years.

2. Higher rates of interest. Because interest rates are rising, there may be less demand for homes. Just last year, the average rate for 30-year fixed-rate mortgages went up from 6.02% to 7.21%. People can purchase fewer homes when interest rates are higher. If they have to spend more to borrow the same amount of money, current homeowners will not want to buy a new home and abandon their lower locked-in interest rates.

3. Reduced stock. Low inventory has been an issue for many years. VanEd.com claims that because financing rates were so low in 2020 and 2021, inventory is still limited. But since then, these rates have increased dramatically.

Investing in real estate that is recession-proof

The next real estate boom was already being predicted by specialists in the months preceding the coronavirus outbreak. Let's examine recent events:

• The first was the savings and loan crisis of the 1980s.

• The Dow Jones index then lost 23% of its value in 1987 due to the stock market meltdown.

• The dotcom bubble and accompanying meltdown in 1999 and 2000 were the next significant event.

• Then came the global financial crisis of 2007–2008, which was brought on by the collapse of the U.S. housing bubble and the subprime mortgage crisis.

Now what is next? We must prepare for any type of economy and crash ahead of us. Diverting among the five asset class successfully is the key to a thriving and affluent future.

But hold on, can a crash in the real estate market be beneficial?

Okay, so this is the response we have been looking for: Because people are so desperate and trying to sell, they are far more likely to give us a better bargain during market crashes, which can be the perfect moment to buy.

Some inside investors, for instance, saw it at firsthand in 1991 when they relocated to Phoenix, Arizona, and started purchasing homes one after the other. In fact, amateur investors were phoning them and offering to pay them to take their properties off their hands because they were so desperate to get out of their financial obligations. They gladly concurred and undoubtedly had the last laugh because they earned so much money during that period that many wise investors could retire and make more wealth in economy downturns. Taking advantage of the down markets is a skill to develop through financial education and real life experience.

Don't pay attention to the critics

The market's extreme pessimism makes it difficult to buy, even if a fall is a fantastic opportunity to do so. We will be viewed as completely insane by our friends, family, and probably even our financial advisor, who will attempt to keep us from "making a big mistake."

Additionally, people will be lining up to be warned that "investing is risky." The crucial point to remember is that different people have different definitions of what "investing" entails. In the belief that property values would continue to rise, many amateur investors entered the real estate market while it was hot and prices were skyrocketing. They most likely intended to sell the property and earn a quick $50,000. The very definition of risky is investing for capital gains rather than cash flow. Usually the people who invests for capital gains income measured their return on investment with opinions and they don’t have a winning plan with an exit strategy.

Many inside investors are familiar with the principles of real estate investing. It's not necessary to take a chance when investing. The foundation of sound cash-flow investments is a strong understanding of finance. Investing becomes far less risky when one understands and adheres to the fundamentals. Although there will always be some degree of risk, it can be significantly decreased by adhering to prudent investment practices and making plans to cover any losses.

Start Now

Assuming we want to get into the real estate market while it's about to plummet.

To help us decide if real estate investment is right for us, here are some benefits and drawbacks to consider before we start.

The benefits or pros of investing in real estate

1- Benefits of taxes

1. Depreciation is a yearly deduction that can be written off as an expense against revenues and represents a percentage of the property's worth.

2. Low-income housing, historic building rehabilitation, and some other real estate projects are eligible for tax credits. Our tax liability is immediately reduced by a tax credit.

3. Gains from the sale of real estate may be deferred forever in several nations as long as the money raised is used to buy more real estate.

2- Time

Typically, we need enough time to complete our assignments, compare options, examine data, and decide which investment is best for us.

3- Real estate ownership experience

We can invest in real estate if we are able to purchase our own house or place of living.

4- Home-based business

Incorporate our family and partner into every rental home we buy. Together, we can learn and create wealth. Everyone on the same page in the same household can do miracles and change the future for the better.

5- OPM (Other People's Money) Leverage

A down payment of 10%, 20%, or 30% may be made, with the remaining funds coming from a bank, lending organization, or private individual. For merely $10,000 or $20,000, we may acquire a property worth $100,000.

We can also use OPM for the down payment as we gain experience and sophistication.

6- Cash Flow

Real estate can present enormous income flow potential if it is bought and handled properly.

7- Appreciation

A gradual rise in the property's value. Our rents will rise if we take good care of the property. The property's worth increases as our rents rise (or our expenses decrease). Rental properties can provide income in two ways: Positive cash-flow (passive income) and capital gains income (appreciation).

8- Control

We are in charge of our properties' revenue, costs, and debt.

9- Reduced susceptibility to market fluctuations

The daily fluctuations of the markets do not affect a property that generates cash flow. Since real estate investing is usually a long-term strategy, a lower market may be the ideal moment to purchase.

The drawbacks of investing in real estate

1- Time lag

Financing, inspections, appraisals, counteroffers, and offers all require time.

2- Not liquid

The ability to turn an asset into cash is known as liquidity. Real estate cannot be bought and sold rapidly all the time unless we have others investors ready to buy our investments.

3- Hard

After business, real estate is the second most challenging of the five asset classes. Additionally, we may have to deal with poor tenants and vacancies. Here at the five assets classes the exist today:

1- Business

2- Real Estate

3- Crypto

4- Paper Assets

5- Commodities

We must control assets in all of the 5 asset classes to become wealthy, protect ourselves from any type of inflation and win in down economies.

4- Time-consuming

Getting a good deal takes time. Daily property management is required.

Will 2025 see a market crash, then?

Knowing that history tends to repeat itself does assist to keep prospective investors on guard, even though we cannot be positive if we are currently in a bubble or if it is soon to burst.

Avoid being intimidated. A strong financial education is our best defense, and there's never a better moment to begin planning for difficult times. We must master how to diversify among the five assets classes that exist and utilize as much as debt as possible to minimize our taxes to zero because we are building passive income (positive cash flow).

Turn liabilities into assets. We can only do that when we have financial education, mentors, and a winning business plan with an exit strategy. Investing is having a winning business plan with an exit strategy that is profitable and beneficial to us.

Adopt the Chas Flow Pattern Of The Wealthy Class

When we invest we must focus on our assets column not so much on the income column. Rule number one in our community is that we work to build passive income (positive cash flow) and make money multiply fast in sound investing.

Bonus: What is A Blueprint for Financial Freedom?

Before we embark on our adventure, make sure we know exactly what we want.

We don't necessarily have to put in more effort while scaling up.

Being financially independent is just the first step toward our objectives.

Successful investors typically begin with a very different course in mind. Once the person begins to acquire financial education and shifting the context of their mindset regarding money then they will ask themselves, “Is this how their life will be in five years?” after glancing at their boss's boss. Less flexibility, more meetings, and even less time to accomplish the things I love?

That's a scary idea.

Consequently, a decision is made. a decision to take charge of their destiny and leave their comfort zone. It never happens quickly and is never simple. But anyone may achieve financial freedom if they are prepared to plan, work smart, and persevere.

Here are 7 points to master to build financial freedom like the ultra wealthy:

1- Plan our escape and define our vision.

Not defining what one really wants is one of the biggest blunders people make. Everyone claims to desire to be financially independent, but what does it mean to us personally? Is it a global journey? More time spent with family? Launching a company?

Writing down our objectives is the first step taken. This provided us with direction and a goal to strive for. Research indicates that those who put our goals in writing have a far higher chance of succeeding, and those who share their goals with others have an even higher chance.

Clarity is not only inspiring; it is necessary. We will be aimlessly pursuing possibilities if we don't have a defined destination.

Therefore, spend some time defining our freedom and what it will entail after we get it.

2- The journey's three stages: start, win, and thrive

Achieving financial independence takes time. There are distinct phases to the voyage. Start, Win, and Thrive are the three stages that Jaren divides it into.

The goal of the Survive phase is to pay for our essentials. Here's where we work smart to pay our electricity, groceries, and rent or mortgage. Only the necessities are allowed here; no luxury. However, we have a plan and constantly living above our means but being smart about where we allocate our gains.

We advance to Arrive when we have mastered survival. We have some breathing room now. Some discretionary expenditure, such as eating out or shopping on Amazon, is within our means. Although it's still small, it feels like a step forward.

We hit Thrive at last. At this point, our living expenses are entirely covered by our passive income. We are free to do as we like, whenever we choose. This stage may seem like the end goal to many, but as we will find out, it's actually just the beginning.

3- The structure: capital, expertise, and hard labor

We need two of the three things—money, expertise, or hustle—to succeed in real estate, or any business, really.

Here is about his experience:

Some of us have relied on hustling when we first started because we lacked funds and in-depth expertise. We went to every local event, knocked on doors, made cold calls, and put forth a lot of effort to discover offers. That sweat equity enabled us to learn.

Hustle is free if we are just getting started but the reward is priceless. In addition, we do not work for earned income if we truly want to be wealthy we must work for passive income and capital gains income.

We may work smart, network, and learn without spending any money. Because at the end what it takes for money to make money is financial education and a winning business plan. Money alone does not multiply. We can collaborate with someone who has the funds after we have established our hustle and expertise. Deals are made in this way. A wealthy entrepreneur number one job is to raise capital and the number one skill is to sell with smart systems and target marketing.

This approach is applicable to both small and large deals. It's straightforward but effective.

4- Smart systems over hard work

A common misconception is that scaling up entails more effort. However, it doesn't. Systems, not perspiration, are the key to scaling. The procedure for purchasing a two-unit building is almost the same as that for purchasing a two-unit building. The way we assign and oversee the work makes a difference, not the task itself.

We may handled everything by ourselves at first. We may be in charge of the finances, tenant management, and cold calling leads. As we grow as leaders, then our organizations will grow too.

We, however, learn to delegate as we scaled. In order to free up our time to concentrate on more ambitious projects, we recruited others to handle the small tasks we may perform at the beginning stages of building our ideal lifestyle

The secret is to trust our team and understand how to manage people. This is where real scalability occurs.

5- The influence of postponing satisfaction

It takes work to become financially independent. It must be something we intentionally create.

Being able to do the work we love is more important than being able to sit back and do nothing. And that's a crucial difference. Freedom is about choosing projects that fulfills and thrills us, not about running away from work.

However, it also implies that we must start making sacrifices early on. Choices are the most important thing we got to master. Making the right choices comes with having intelligence.

When we start earning more money, it's common to seek instant gratification. But what distinguishes people who accumulate riches from those who do not is the ability to postpone gratification. the unique selling point that leads to our ultimate financial independence.

6- The objective is total freedom

The fact is that having money will make us more happy. When we reach our financial objectives, we will need a strong purpose to continue to build and acquire businesses that help the world in causes we care about.

At this moment, we shall understand that money should be used to create opportunities for living a life we love and help the world become a better place for future generations.

Financial independence and real estate are amazing resources for creating the life we desire. However, the trip is more than merely breaking free from the 9–5 grind or hitting a certain quantity of money. It's about the person we grow into.

Clearly define our objectives. Work smart. Continue to learn. And keep in mind that financial independence is only the beginning when we eventually achieve it. Make the most of our freedom by producing something worthwhile for both us and other people. That is the actual success plan.

7- Aim for the 3 Es’ of Master Investor

1- Financial Education

2- Financial Experience

3- Excess of Cash-Flow

That is how we become truly financially free and accumulate true wealth which is measure in time and our excess of money. Financial freedom is the first aim and then once there we continue to doubt down on our assets column using debt and paying zero in taxes legally. Now, we shall be working smarter and making more passive income on autopilot.
