It’s been a long time since we’ve seen real estate prices not appreciate year-over-year, but this reality is becoming increasingly likely every day. With low affordability, high mortgage rates, rising supply, and steady demand, the tables are starting to turn for one of the hottest asset classes of the past decade (real estate). The question is, should you buy fully knowing prices won’t rise anytime soon? J Scott has been investing in real estate for decades. He’s been through the booms and the busts and has maintained a very even demeanor, even in the best and worst of times. So, we brought on a real estate veteran to answer a simple question: Is real estate still worth investing in with stagnant prices, and if so, how do you make appreciation when the market won’t give it to you? J shares why home prices will likely stay flat or even dip for years to come, the strategies you can still use to raise your property values by sizable margins, two types of financing that work best for times like these (and benefit the investor), and when real estate could bounce back. Scared to invest when you don’t know where prices are going?
