What’s Your Goal

For the most part, the second decision you make when deciding to buy Nantucket real estate, which is the first decision, is where the scale sits between a lifestyle and financial decision. Hard to go wrong with either… If it weighs heavily on the financial side, where you are more objective about the buy, now is typically the ideal time to make a move. You might not get the property you want, but, again, it is more of a financial, objective decision. So, as long as the numbers add up, you’re in good shape. There are certain sellers that will negotiate heavily right now. They’re holding off on rentals for next season, i.e. cash flow, in case a buyer doesn’t want to inherit tenants, but they are not going to hold off for long; they want cash flow. Of course, if it is a financial decision, you want cash flow, also. But, right now holds potential of having your cake and eating it too. Might not be perfect, but everything’s a compromise and it could be pretty close.

New day, new goal; new goal, new day.

Happy Thanksgiving.
