The Herd & The Investor

Hi Chuck it is surprising how people are sitting on the sidelines watching all they great opportunities pass them by.  We have some of the same issues and some really spectacular deals being snapped up by the savvy investor while others are just waiting.  I hope they don't say "if only".  Nice post Chuck.

Very clear and concise, and you summed it up very well with:

"Too many people will look back on this time and say, "if only"." 

When most everyone is too fearful to see the opportunity, just standing on the sidelines waiting to see what happens...a few see the opportunity, evaluate the risks and move in while others wait and see, and miss out....

Investors are very active in my market, Racine, Wisconsin. There are lots of great opportunities in markets that have bottomed out.  There are many that are fearful and predicting gloom and doom, they will withdraw back into their shells once the correction is complete.

Go Packers!!

 

 

I'm going to be writing a post about this on one of my website blogs but you did it so well with few words.  In my area we're trying to sell the investor properties (mainly flippers) that bought high, put money in and are now selling low.  Many of these properties are half finished and in foreclosure. 

I've had some pre-sale condo investors beg me to come view their properties.  They wanted me and other agents to spend a half hour of our time to sit with them and help them sell their very poor investment.  That was last year.  I told them I would show their units when I had a buyer for them & did not attend their little broker's open as I had already seen some of these units.  I wrote about it here.

This is a great time to invest and I'm planning on doing it myself this year.

Great  post Chuck and I really like the quote from Warren!!! I'd be willing to bet more than a few will say "if only" in the future
