Investing in real estate, your community, and your future!

There is no more tried and true investment than real estate. Especially in communities like Humboldt, where there's a significant lack of industry and only a select few avenues to 'get ahead' in life. If done correctly, investing in a rental property is a very realistic path to letting your money work for you so that you can ease your financial burden, while creating a long term system that will pay you every month for as long as you'd like. Don't get me wrong,

there are plenty of mistakes investors make along the way, but with the right advise and expertise you can find a property where the rent covers the mortgage, and then pays you hundreds of dollars in proceeds monthly. If you're able to get a handful of properties, those proceeds can quickly jump into the thousands every month, making for a viable alternative to the rat race of Humboldt's job market. There are some differences when it comes to buying an investment property, a major one being that there is a 25% downpayment requirement when using a loan, and interest rates are typically 0.5% - 1% higher than loans used when purchasing a primary residence. Given Cal Poly's quick expansion and unfortunate lack of housing, this might be the best time in the history of Humboldt County to invest in some local real estate!
