If you're looking to invest in Halifax real estate, the first step is to find a REALTOR. Investing in property is different from buying or selling a home, so it's important to find an agent with the right qualities, experience, and services for your needs. This is what we deem to be essential:

 1.        Real estate agents who assist investors are not intimidated by numbers. It is essential that your agent can view properties from a financial point of view, whether it be helping you calculate potential ROI, cash flow or cap rates. REALTORS usually help their residential clients evaluate properties based on lifestyle and affordability, but if you want to build a real estate portfolio, even if it's just a second property, you need someone who can help you understand the financials.

Of late, there is an enormous amount of news coverage regarding rising interest rates and inflation. And for good cause. The rising cost of food, gas, and housing are affecting us all. These necessities and their impact on our wallets bring home the message loud and clear. Interest rates are rising.  Inflation is out of control. And how they are intertwined is a delicate relationship.
