- Buying Real Estate In A Declining Market - Three Rules
[Real-Estate:Buying] Buying real estate in a declining market is a tricky business. When markets are in decline there is constant talk of "hitting the bottom". The current crisis in the US housing market is no exception. Since November of 2007 to now (April 2008) I have been assured, no less than on five separate dates, that the market has hit bottom in the Florida area. Each time I have observed even lower prices. As the old saying goes, if I only had a nickel... Does this mean you shouldn't be buying real estate in a declining market? Of course not. You only need to follow some rock solid rules. As long as you are consistent, focused, and do your homework, you can still profit from real estate in such markets. The danger is in getting caught up in the hype and the allure of "low" prices.
- The New Myth - The Buyer's Market In Real Estate
[Real-Estate:Buying] A buyer's market in real estate - this is the current phrase being used by people interested in selling you something. They say, because there are many desperate sellers, buyers are getting great deals. It's a myth. The market is still dropping. Buy today and you stand a decent chance of losing 20 to 30% of your asset's real value. Bad for buyer, good for seller.

This distorts the real picture of the local real estate market. Investors need to be aware of the false demand that exists in the local market they are looking at, and impact it can have on their ability to make money.

- Chasing Success - Our Florida Real Estate Experience
[Real-Estate:Investing] We were in Florida last month attempting to purchase some real estate we could cash flow. It was interesting, and good learning process for a market we hadn't visited before. We were actually poised to pick up as many as 1000 houses - and didn't end up buying a thing. I hope some insights from our trip may help you in the Florida market - or any other southern US market during this troubled time.
