You’ve worked hard to secure your retirement. From 401Ks and IRAs to passive income and pensions, you want that hard work and fiscal dedication to pay off. Here's how to help protect those golden years ahead.

We’re all long tired of the term “unprecedented” to describe the times in which we live. Even though the word has overstayed its welcome, it is still accurate.

On the 16^th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, Hurricane Ida – a category 4 storm – made landfall on the Louisiana and Mississippi coasts. Hurricane season is in full swing, bringing environmental hazards top-of-mind for homeowners and real estate investors alike.

Where our wealth is concerned, we all want to have control. A lack of control can be a major stressor in our lives. Unfortunately, investors only have a say over so much. 

2020 has been a strange year to say the least. As we forge our way through uncharted territory, plenty of worries, concerns, and questions come to mind. We’re thinking about our families and friends and their health, we’re wondering about employment status and cut hours. We’re adjusting to working-from-home or juggling wild, cooped-up kids. 

We often assert the truth that no investment is without risk. If any investment claims to be risk-free, you can guarantee you’ve stumbled upon a scam! This is no less true when it comes to real estate investment. 

Investors of every kind look for the opportunities that they can count on. They want to be able to, at least to some degree, predict the future. While no worthwhile investment comes without risk, there is something to be said for the predictable, reliable, and proven. 

Everyone talks about how the COVID-19 pandemic has plunged us collectively into the unknown. For real estate investors, this can be a scary time. We don’t know exactly how things will pan out, even if we can look to clues and indicators from recovering global markets.

On some level, most of us fear the unexpected. We dread to see the other shoe fall or the tables turn. There’s an inherent level of risk in every investment. We know that by now. One of the greatest advantages we have at REI Nation — in turnkey real estate investment — is that we greatly reduce the risk and room for error for our investors.

Risk. Every investor has heard the term, and often very early on. Despite this, we often misunderstand risk — putting it into simplistic terms and talking about “risk management” as if everyone inherently knows how to do this.
