I own a 4-family home as an investment property for a little over 3 years now in New York City. I bought it in the middle of 2006 when the marketing was still strong and from what everybody was telling me "was only going to get better." Soon after purchasing the property the market and economy began to plummet. When I purchased the property I was planning on holding onto it for a good 5 years, fix the house up and then hopefully sell it for a profit later on.

It's been over 3 years since and the value of the home is still way below what I purchased it for. With all the rent I receive I cover the montly mortgage payments but the utilities and repairs come out of my pocket. Once I bought the house one problem after another started to build up that has required repairs and a lot of money (Yes, I did have an engineer inspect the house prior to purchashing it who thought it was in good condition)

I am at the point now where I dont see the point in holding on to the home anymore, from what people tell me the housing marketing wont correct itself for anotehr 5-10 years and I just cant keep throwing money into it as its crippling me financially. I dont make the same salary that I was making at the time I bought the house and I am struggling to cover the costs. At this rate Id have no choice but to either foreclose or shortsale as my savings is dwindling.

So I ask, is there any hope for me with this property? Any tips on what I can do to turn this into an asset for the time being? Any chance of some unforseen real estate boom occurring a lot sooner then people are expecting?

Thank you in advance for your time. ]]> Real Estate Investment Stoff http://www.realestatewebmasters.com/showthread.php?t=39259 http://www.realestatewebmasters.com/showthread.php?t=39147&goto=newpost Fri, 13 Nov 2009 12:40:53 GMT Hi.

According to commercial mortgage specialists, this is a good time for purchasers with strong backing. They are seeing an increase in volume year over year.


Lenders are still being "very cautious and conservative", with many of them going below appraised values for commercial buildings, the situation has improved from earlier this year.


For buyers in strong positions, there are deals on industrial buildings and it appears that there is a "cautious" market coming back for hotels and plazas.

is it really set for comeback or what ?? ]]> Real Estate Investment reincanada http://www.realestatewebmasters.com/showthread.php?t=38858 http://www.realestatewebmasters.com/showthread.php?t=38832&goto=newpost Sat, 31 Oct 2009 17:41:23 GMT Im selling my contact list with legitimate sources for Bulk REO.
