People buy things now to sell them higher years from now. That, if you could get lucky. What if something goes wrong? How can you recoup what you've invested?
This is the scenario with pre-construction condos. The market is good now, and down the road, something crops up that would alter everything you've set out at the start.
Tracy Ma is a thriving consultant, social entrepreneur, successful real estate & stock investor, and unquenchable lifelong learner.
In this episode, Tracy Ma shares why she doesn't favor preconstruction condos even though it works for others. At the same time, she also talks of ways to protect yourself if you change your mind in the middle of the whole construction and how to bring in cash flows through long and short-term rentals afterward. She also discusses other profitable deals you can get into with less trouble.
