How Would You Love Investment Real Estate to Make Your Financial World? What are the chances of purchasing investment real estate in today’s economic environment???
Last week I was interviewed on one of North America’s Top Investment Real Estate Podcasts, Property Profits, hosted by Dave Dubeau. In episode 324, click on the link to listen to the conversation regarding purchasing investment real estate in today’s market. https://www.propertyprofitspodcast.com/wrickharris/
Dave is a skilled podcast interviewer and helps his clients find financial funding for investment real estate.
I love that Dave looked after his listeners. For example, Dave pushed me to discuss a strategy to add investment real estate to one’s financial portfolio in today’s real estate marketplace.
My goal in this blog post is not to detail my shared thoughts in this podcast episode but to give you some general ideas on the investment real estate market and the impact of rising interest rates.
Higher Interest Rates, Sign of Healthy Economy – Not This Time
Countries’ governments have no idea how to stem inflation; in other words, their only solution is to raise interest rates like drunken sailors.
The idea behind raising interest rates is to get inflation under control; however, look at what is happening to the average person and the jobs market.
By raising interest rates, the governments will kill economies and jobs that were just on the rise. Similarly, we need balance to handle the economic situation. But, when has a government ever used a balanced approach?

Other Impacts on Housing Market Average Consumer
Recently BNNBloomberg ran a story that shows 1-in-4 homeowners would have to sell their homes if interest rises.
The move on to higher interest rates is coming. The higher interest rates will create a sad day for many people; why? So many people dream of home ownership, and to have as many as 1-in-4 homeowners have to sell their dream.
Double Whammy Coming to the Housing Market – No Good News
For instance, what do you think will affect prices if the housing market floods with inventory?
The housing prices will drop, and people selling their homes to get a better financial position will create a worse economic situation for them and their families. Giving up part of your net worth to put food on the table is a noble reason. However, it can have long-term implications for any legacy for your family in the future. I know because I liquidated my registered savings early in my working life to feed my family. Things did improve, but I had already made this dramatic change.
Getting Back in Much Harder
A higher interest rate environment will mean fewer people can qualify for a mortgage and fewer buyers.
The double whammy; is an over-inventoried real estate marketplace with few buyers.

Time to Buy Investment Real Estate
Dave Dubeau pushed me hard to give the average investor the answer to getting into the investment real estate market. In addition, I felt good about the advice to his listeners.
Look for the Signs
Suppose you are considering timing (when to buy). There is no perfect time to buy, timing is an opportunity, but we never know the length of the opportunity.
Remember, the BNNBloomberg story on 1-in-4 homeowners selling is a story of intent. It will not take a lot of observation skills to know when the real estate market has too much inventory, and you will see the prices drop.

In my podcast with Dave Dubeau, I reference my book, 31 Days to Purchasing and Renting Your First Investment Real Estate Property, and how it has made a difference in people’s lives.
A recent reviewer wrote, “I never expected that the book would lead me on my own investment real estate journey. But with the rich knowledge and expert guidance Rick provides, I realized homeownership was within my reach.”
The Result
The reviewer purchased a bungalow with an income suite in the basement.
For less than a couple of lattes at your favorite coffee shop, you can purchase my book and start to love investment real estate in your financial world.
