What New Investors Should Know About Buying Their First Property in a Recession

What New Investors Should Know About Buying Their First Property in a Recession

May 27, 2020 By Kurt last modified on February 4, 2023 Leave a Comment

Many novice investors are under the impression that a recession is not the best time to start investing. Contrary to this belief, a recession can be the ideal time to make some of the best deals. Unfortunately, the kicker is that these deals are not highly secure during this time.

  • Because of the recession, the buyer’s market has become a seller’s market instead.
  • You shouldn’t just buy something because of a sale, take your time, and more.

It’s more important than ever before to educate yourself financially.  Check our our article on best financial freedom books for a primer on the subject.
