In real estate, when you look at the changing interest rates and home prices in isolation, you might just think it’s a bad time to buy. But if you step back and look at the whole picture, you’ll realize that getting into a home puts you in a win-win position in just about any market condition. 
 
Every objection and con to buying a home right now is completely overshadowed by the massive pros of owning real estate. 
 
Homes may not be appreciating at 30% but that doesn’t mean they aren’t appreciating at all. Rentals have skyrocketed in recent months, so being a tenant isn’t an advantage right now. Owning a home makes buying the next one so much easier, and you have the opportunity to offset your expenses through Airbnbs and long-term rentals. The market may be different, but that doesn’t mean the opportunities go away. 
 
Cheryl Benjamin actually believes this is an exciting real estate market, in this episode she talks about her favorite areas in Arizona, 85383 and Flagstaff. She also shares how she’s earning income through Airbnbs and how easy it can be to run a short-term rental operation.
