Because economy is greatly affected by the global instability, many businesses are fighting hard to keep in the sector. Real estate is not exempted from this; hence, something has to be done to maintain a continuous cash influx. Below are the suggestions:
Look for a Part-time Job
On lean period, do not just sit and wait there for nothing. Do something to augment your income by getting a side-line job. Check that the job allows a flexible schedule so that you can return to selling anytime as soon as peak season starts.
Have Your Properties Leased
If by chance you are capable of getting financing a property, buy one and have it rented. This would mean a steady and sure monthly cash flow to compensate for your lack of income. Another advantage of leasing your property is that lesser maintenance cost is required since it is clearly stated on the contract that the lessee is responsible for the repair and maintenance of the leased properties.
Buy and Sell Properties
Many buy foreclosed houses or properties; renovate it; sell it. That is, if you have more than enough capital to finance this kind of business.
Do Trade-ins
Some property owners opt to choose trade in. You will never know you could be lucky with another person's property more than the previous owner himself.
Real estate though is still making good for some areas. Once is in Cebu Philippines. Many foreigners with Filipina wives or Filipinos from abroad are flocking to invest in Cebu real estate.
