Have you ever thought about investing in real estate but felt unsure where to start? For a long time, I found real estate investing complicated and risky, something only big-time investors or those with lots of cash could do. But I’ve realized it’s more accessible than it seems, especially for those of us in Southwest Washington.

That’s why I’m hosting a Beginner Investor Seminar on May 28, 2025, at Evergreen Real Estate Partners in Vancouver, WA. This event is designed for local homeowners, buyers, and anyone curious about investing. We’ll break things down without the pressure, confusion, or fluff.

Why Real Estate Investing Makes Sense

If you’ve dabbled in the stock market, you know how unpredictable it can be. Recently, many have watched their portfolios dip, prompting them to explore other options. In real estate, leverage works differently.

For example, if you invest $50,000 in the stock market, your returns come from that amount alone. But in real estate, if you put down $50,000 on a $500,000 property, you earn appreciation on the entire property value—about 4% annually on average.

More Than Just Appreciation: What Real Estate Offers Local Investors

When discussing real estate, it’s not just about home values; it’s about the whole picture, especially for long-term wealth. Here’s what real estate investing can provide:

• Appreciation: Your property increases in value over time.

• Cash Flow: Rent from tenants can cover your mortgage payments.

• Principal Reduction: Tenants help pay down your loan.

• Tax Benefits: Depreciation and deductions can enhance your returns.

At our seminar, we’ll explore each of these benefits and how they specifically apply to Clark County real estate.
