KEY TAKEAWAYS:

  • Many people believe that you have to be a member of a union to use the services of a credit union. That is untrue.
  • Commercial property has decreased in value because the costs of upkeep and payment are higher. Many commercial properties are not occupied.
  • When a market is affected negatively, it presents an opportunity to buy low.
