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.

Most people dread moving day. It can be a stressful and emotional time. Packing boxes, straining muscles and loading trucks isn't anyone's idea of fun. But my wife and I look forward to moving day because it's the day when we can realize a return on an investment.
