Episode Details:
Real estate remains a popular investment topic in 2025. But is it still the right choice for your financial goals?
In this episode of Healthy, Wealthy & Wise, BWFA’s Sandy Hornor walks through the key factors to weigh before investing. He explains how rising interest rates, shifting market conditions, and updated tax rules are influencing property values and investor returns.
The discussion covers different ways to invest, including rental properties, vacation homes, and Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs). Each option comes with unique advantages, potential risks, and liquidity considerations. Sandy also addresses the practical realities of property ownership—such as maintenance costs, tenant management, and the time commitment involved.
For those thinking about income generation, diversification, or legacy planning, real estate can be a powerful tool. However, it may also complicate your financial picture if not approached with a clear plan. This episode emphasizes the importance of timing, location, and aligning your property investments with your broader portfolio strategy.
If you’re wondering whether now is the right time to buy, Sandy offers balanced insights. He highlights how professional guidance can help you evaluate potential returns, understand tax implications, and protect against unnecessary risk.
