It’s what you do with your money next that really counts.

It’s what you do with your money next that really counts.

In a lot of cases today investors, property owners of any type of property, are faced with a sale price which is less than the purchase price for the property when they first acquired it.

Many of these owners really struggle with the concept that they are “losing money” if they sell at “that price”.

Consider this, it’s not how much you get that is most important, the most important thing is what you are going to do with it next.  As and investor, the name of the game is to increase the value of your port folio over time.

So, always do the math. As examples:  If your think you’re losing 25%, but you invest the proceeds on another property and get in at 50% of the value…you haven’t lost 25% at all…you’ve gained 25%.  OR…If you dispose of a property with decreasing cash flow, but can get into another property with an easily increased net operating income, then you will have increase net worth over time.
