Same as always, except the last step (used to be "sell" instead of "rent out". Once commercial bottoms out... there might be good buys in cities receiving stimulus money and putting it towards their downtown.

Almost 30% of the closed transactions in my market are short sales and bank owned. There's a lot of investors picking up deals and doing more of a wholesale flip to other investors or buyers. Margins are not a high, but I know of one investor who is doing a very high volume.

I heard a statistic that 60% of the sales last quarter were bank owned or short sales here in Minnesota.
All my investors are doing rehab and holds.

I am too curious about the investment. And I agree too on real estate as a safe investment. I dont know the percentage, but still many wealthy people are investing in real estate. And the trend might go well for couple of months.

In a down market it can be difficult to determine the best investment strategy for your portfolio.
Separate strategy and emotion - In a down market, some investors panic and try to protect their assets by moving money out of an investment. Then when the market goes up again, they become hopeful and decide to put their money back into the original investment. In a nutshell, emotions can cause people to buy high and sell low, which is the total opposite of what you should be doing . In a down market it's important to remain confident and not be influenced by short term performance. Remember, if you are investing in a long term goal such as retirement, time is usually always on your side. So unless your goals change, it’s a good idea to create a strategy and stick with it. |

Residential real estate investors have become a driving force in the residential real estate market. Sharp increase in property sales across the country is indicative of the progress.

Like other businesses, all aspects of real estate investing also have become technology oriented. There are tools which do complete evaluation & help you to find out what the property is really worth, along with the ability to predict how much appreciation it will achieve in the coming years.
