Is now the Time to Build a home? - 09/23/08 05:56 AM
By Steve McLinden • Bankrate.com     
 Dear Steve, 
Is building a home wise during these times of low market value? We’re retired and have decent pensions. We just bought 15 acres in the country and our current home is fully paid for. I seldom see any discussions about this.
– M. Edwards
 
Dear M.,
Then let’s start a discussion. For starters, previously owned homes typically provide more space for the dollar, particularly in this market. But since you’ve already bought the acreage for the project, there’s probably no better time than the present to get things rolling.

Myrtle Beach "A Buyer's Market" - Don't delay - 09/23/08 04:57 AM
“You may delay, but time will not” Ben Franklin
“Time waits for no one” Rolling Stones
Both parties were considered experts, if not geniuses in their respected fields and both comments apply to the current real estate market.
It has been a long time since the market favored the Buyer as much as the current one does.  Supply is up, interest rates are down.  But you may ask yourself “How can I take advantage of this”.

The US Financial Crisis Q&A - 09/21/08 07:59 PM
What’s behind the financial crisis?It is a continuation of several factors including but not limited to the housing meltdown due to sub-prime lending, credit crunch, and the major factor of a “crisis of confidence”. 
What is sub-prime lending, credit crunch, and crisis of confidence?SUBPRIME LOANS/Lending - Is the practice of lending money to a more risky borrower or riskier type of loan (no income documentation, no money down etc). When these type of loans are made the money is paid back at a higher interest rate than a conventional loan.  These loans were bundled together with good loans and sold to … (0 comments)

Buy Low Sell High has never been more true! - 09/21/08 11:49 AM
There is an OLD investment adage – Buy Low and Sell High!
This investment principle flows over into the real Estate Market as well! The only time you make money in Real Estate is when you BUY… This is a very simple principle that is backed by some very true facts.  
Real Estate runs in cycles and when you Buy you want to catch it in a down cycle (like the one we are in) and Sell in a high cycle (like the one we came out of about 2 years ago).  
The rate of change and the length … (0 comments)

Finding your way through the turbulent financial markets – Myrtle Beach Real Estate - 09/15/08 06:31 PM
With all the uncertainty in the Financial and Housing Markets there are some VERY important things to remember. 
1. These times come and go… They run in cycles which some refer to as Peaks and Valleys… 
2. Remember the majority of your Stocks and all of your Real Estate are long term investments.  Their values maybe down at the present time but will more than likely regain its value and more.
3. In distressed markets there is a “flight to quality” – you may ask what does that mean – well in short it means you must now pick and choose your investments wisely. … (2 comments)
