Cycle Into Success
Business cycles, we read about them all the time and many times we never slow down to think about how the national economic cycle affects our own local small business. That is until we are knee deep in debt and wondering how we’ll dig our way out.
However, now that the cycle has changed and credit is tight, using a flip strategy is not such a good idea. So the question is how does one create a cash flow monster so that they don’t have to go back to the 9 to 5 grind?
The answer is simple. Recognize the cycle we are in and adjust accordingly. Because of the nature of commercial real estate and the way loans are made on commercial property, the small commercial real estate market has made real gains in the past year.
While residential business has been squeezed by a lack of available credit the small commercial market has plodded along. That’s because each small commercial property is looked at as its own business entity. It has to make a profit or lenders will not loan money against it.
As an investor with equity in properties or with stocks and mutual funds, you can create situations where you leverage your wealth to get into the high cash flow properties that can give you a paycheck and keep you from having to schlep back to a J-O-B!
If you don’t think you have the money to get into commercial real estate you may be wrong. By leveraging loans against existing equity in property or by securing loans with stocks, bonds and/or mutual funds, you may be able to obtain all the money you need without having sell your assets.
