MONEY ISN’T EVERYTHING, BUT IT IS IMPORTANT.
There are a lot of ways to invest out there, so let’s go over them.
CDs, savings accounts, and money markets have traditional been safe investments and a great place for your money. With such a low interest rate environment today, that money is actually losing buying power. Which makes it a terrible investment, even if it is safe. Inflation is eating up any return that money is promising to give back. Out of interest rate frustration, many investors have had to take on more risk through the stock market, real estate, or starting businesses for your returns. Of course, diversification in your portfolio is essential. With the federal tax credit, no sales tax, and the price of solar coming down considerably, I would like to recommend solar to be a part of every homeowner’s investment portfolio.


Bonds – Municipal bonds, corporate bonds, and government bonds are all based off of the current interest rate and are doing very poorly. With rates at the floor, they can only go up, which will cause currently purchased bonds to be less valuable.
New Mexico real estate prices aren’t nearly as volatile as other markets, so the strategy here is mostly to buy and hold. Returns take a long time to develop in most cases and come with a lot of headache and risks. Real estate, if done properly can be a great investment. However, it takes a lot of time and a lot of expertise. We would suggest coupling solar with your real estate.
