"I had a client who inherited five-hundred-thousand dollars, and they were dissatisfied with what our highest yield interest rate accounts had to offer. They were looking for a high yielding investment that was stable, yet there were no low-risk liquid investments which met their demands. At a certain point I mentioned that I couldn't necessarily offer them advice on real estate, but did suggest that a real estate investment in an up-and-coming market, in the right location, could yield the kind of returns they were looking for. I also suggested, that if they were to put down that inheritance on a down payment for a mortgaged property, with the mortgage through our institution, in a year or less they could see the return on their investment which they desired, if they could afford the mortgage payments. They liked this idea, ran with it, and it paid off for them significantly."
