Should I Invest In Real Estate Now?
Real estate investing is not the same as speculating.
• Investing: buying low, and holding for future appreciation, and value.
• Speculating: buying sometimes at no discount, anticipating gain from short term appreciation.
When is the time to invest in real estate? NOW! You do have to look at the statistics for the different parts of the country as to what is happening in that market. But in many parts of the country the values are already starting to climb. Linked here is an article that was on the Atlanta Real Estate Forum blog.
Actually, with buying low, and holding for future appreciation, the present time is really “hot” in real estate investing. Most real investors, not speculators, that I know, are buying all that they can. It is not hard with the foreclosure rate to get a terrific discount. Some, with deep enough pockets are just holding the properties, without renting, to save for the future upswing in the housing market. But, most are buying the properties, and renting them, or setting up a lease option to tenants. If you choose to sell at this time, the type of financing is the main consideration. The seller and agent should go the extra mile to help the buyer with this. See yesterday’s post: The Key to Selling Your House In This Market. Low price does have an attraction, but low price without financing available, still does not make the sale.
