If you can hear the whispers below the din of panic, you know that the recent financial and housing collapses have actually created some amazing opportunities for smart investors. Low interest rates and depressed property values have combined in an environment favorable for long-term gains.
It may not be for everyone, but if you're in the right financial position, you have plenty of options. However, there is a right way and a wrong way to invest, and it's the wrong way that led so many to suffer in the recent housing crisis.

real estate: A CHORE NEXT DOOR! - 12/27/09 12:42 PM
While not a very common problem, if you've got it, it can have a terrible impact on your listing: The Messy Neighbor. If you live next door to a "neglected" property, you might lose up to 20% of your home's market value, particularly with buyers looking for any excuse to reduce their offer.
It's technically not your problem, but ask not for whom the bell tolls. It's well worth your time and effort to resolve this situation amicably. Always be respectful, and don't let your emotions get the best of you.
Unless you believe your neighbor is "unhinged," you should … (2 comments)

real estate: LITTLE STEPS UP TO THE LEAP! - 12/22/09 10:19 AM
As you've already read here, conditions are ripe to become a homeowner, and it's time to determine if you're ready to make the leap. While the price of the home is the largest factor, don't forget about loan fees and closing costs, which add to your total financed amount.
Since banks are stricter in their lending, Step One is to polish up your credit report. A higher score gives you more power when it comes to negotiating terms and interest rates.
Similarly, a larger downpayment will positively affect your mortgage terms and reduce the amount you have to finance. If … (0 comments)

real estate: DOLLARS VS. DAYS - 11/14/09 09:11 AM
After you've taken step one to decide to sell your home, step two is usually setting your asking price, striving for a balance between generating offers and receiving top dollar.
Your chosen representative will perform a Competitive Market Analysis (CMA) to produce an estimate of your home's "fair market value," or that price that educated buyers will pay based on listings and sales of homes similar to yours. The agent will not establish the price, but only provide the information you need to make that decision yourself.
In a hot market, you have the advantage, but would still want to avoid … (1 comments)

real estate: California Real Estate Market is Improving- According to the California Association of Realtors! - 10/31/08 08:11 AM
According to the California Association of Realtors statewide sales in September surpassed the 500,000 mark for the first time in more than two years, rising 2.3 percent compared with August, and 96.7 percent from a year ago. The dramatic increase in sales can be attributed to weakness in the market from a year ago with the early onset of the credit crunch. Similar increases in sales occurred in the early 1980s when the market was climbing out of a comparatively steep downturn in sales. The market is expected to register significant year-to-year percentage gains in the coming months as current … (2 comments)

real estate: STEPPING UP TO DOWN MARKETS! - 08/08/08 10:33 AM
STEPPING UP TO DOWN MARKETS!
Remember the ancient curse, "May you live in interesting times"? While many are indeed cursing the current real estate climate, others see opportunities. In a "soft" market, the short-term options dwindle, but seasoned investors in for the long haul are positioned to take advantage.
In the words of billionaire J. Paul Getty, "Buy when everyone else is selling and hold until everyone else is buying." Just like the stock market, more money is often made in a down cycle than in an up market.
Slower times encourage sellers to be … (2 comments)
