Fluctuations are inevitable in real estate 📈 It’s an unpredictable market!

HOW you manage them can make all the difference between success and struggle.🎯

In this episode of the Women’s Money Wisdom podcast, we talked to Natalie Bruno about navigating the ups and downs without losing sight of your long-term goals.

✅ Stay flexible

When markets dip, it’s tempting to panic or make hasty decisions, but it’s essential to keep a level head. Stay grounded and have a clear financial plan in place—one that accounts for both growth and protection.

✅ Prioritize diversification

We also talked about the importance of diversification. While short-term rentals are a hot commodity, Natalie discussed why it’s wise to avoid ⛔️ putting all your eggs in one basket. Spreading your investments across different types of properties can provide a buffer when one area experiences a downturn. 🍀

✅ Focus on fundamentals

It’s helpful to focus on properties with strong fundamentals– those located in desirable areas, with solid construction, and long-term potential. 💪🏼 These are a smart investment because they hold their value even during tumultuous times in the market.

✅ Have a financial plan

Real estate markets tend to by cyclical, and you need a safety net to manage through the quieter periods.😳 This could mean setting aside reserves for unexpected maintenance, covering mortgage payments, or even making strategic upgrades. 🛠️
