Diversify your real estate portfolio by investing across property types—residential, commercial, industrial—to build balance and resilience. Residential properties offer stability and tax advantages; commercial brings higher income but more volatility; industrial offers long leases and lower management. Add geographic spread and varied investment vehicles (REITs, crowdfunding, direct ownership) to improve returns and weather changes in the market.

As May begins, it’s a great time to reassess your finances. First, evaluate your investment portfolio—rebalance, assess performance, cut high fees, and ensure diversification. Then, explore additional income streams: freelance work, passive income via dividends or REITs, or monetizing a skill. These steps can help you build financial resilience and move closer to your goals.

As spring arrives, April is an ideal month for a financial reset. Two priorities stand out: reviewing your insurance coverage—life, health, auto, homeowners—to ensure it still fits your needs, and making your IRA contributions before the tax filing deadline. Even small adjustments now can pay off, helping protect your assets and build your retirement nest egg with confidence.
