When we entered Corona and throughout the last 2 years, we believed that we would see the prices decrease and many would take their properties off the market or decide not to sell or rent. We were proven wrong big time. During Corona, and now that we are sort of out of the woods, we are witnessing that the real estate market was and is booming. Properties are being put on the market for extraordinary prices and being sold like hot potatoes.

Most people would assume that when Israel is at war, stay away from real estate, but in actuality it’s the exact opposite, and I’ll tell you why.

Buying a Property On-Paper

12.12.2022

Back in the day, the way to make money was to do a flip. This meant buying a property that needed renovations for cheaper due to the fact that it needed work, renovating it and selling it for a higher price. Through this, you’d make a nice amount of money. Well, those days are pretty much over due to the following factors
