Big plans for Owner of Nan Inc
In the stock market, there’s a saying that the best time to invest is when there is panic in the market, and the best time to sell is when everyone is greedy.
There’s a lot to be said about investing in real estate during a pandemic. Here are some investing lessons that you can learn from the pandemic.
Panic & Pessimism aren’t Profitable
Some people thought that the covid pandemic was going to be the end of the world. It isn’t the first time in history when people thought that (think about the Black Monday stock crash in 1987). People usually have a short-term memory when it comes to investing.
Nan Chul Shin was more optimistic, and saw this pandemic for an opportunity. Real estate prices where cheaper than before, so he decided to take advantage of this opportunity. While other construction companies started to take it a bit slower, he decided to double down on it. Of course, there is some risk involved, but panic usually doesn’t last forever.
Best Time to Invest in Real Estate in Now
Time in the market, is always more important than timing the market. Nobody has a crystal ball, and knows what is going to happen. People are always going to want invest in real estate, so a short-term loss isn’t really that big of a deal in a long-term time period.
Even the US housing crash that happened in 2008 has recovered. Housing prices across the US, which fell 33% during the recession, have rebounded and recovered. It took close to a decade, but usually prices recover. It’s hard to time a crash, but also to time a recovery. As long as people buy houses, real estate will stay a decent investment.
