Wondering how you can increase cash flow this year (I mean, honestly, who isn’t?). Have you considered investing in real estate? It’s not difficult to get started, and the barrier to entry is low! Here are three reasons you should consider it:... 1. You'll have that cash flow you wanted. When you’re the landlord, those rent payments come to you every month -- and that’s a really great feeling. 2. Your property will typically Increase in value. In a few short years, you’ll be able to sell your property for considerably more than you paid for it -- the average annual appreciation ranges from 3-5%. 3. You'll own an improvable asset. With a little elbow grease, you can improve your property, increasing curb appeal and value. Add these reasons to the historically-low interest rates floating around, and now is a great time to consider an investment property. Have questions?

You’d think with more time at home I’d be motivated to stay on top of housework. If only it were that easy, huh? The good news is there’s no need for any of us to be in a constant cleaning frenzy. Here's what Good Housekeeping recommends be done weekly: Change sheets... Dust surfaces and furniture Vacuum and mop floors Wash towels Clean bathrooms Toss expired food Owning a home is a lot of work but totally worth it! If you’re looking to buy and need a realtor you can trust like a friend, send me a message. I’d love to connect. @melissabrandtrealestate #melissabrandtrealestate #buyandsellwithmelissabrandt #nofosoforealestate #shonoforealestate #northforkrealestate #northforkrealtor See more
