Smart investors are buying properties

By
Mortgage and Lending with HomeStreet Bank

Smart investors are buying properties as can be seen in the National Association of Home-builders improving market index. Real estate investors watch the index to determine which cities are good investment opportunities. This index tries to identify cities where growth is happening. If you have any questions about buying investment properties please contact me.

houseThe Index is a combination of the following information sources:

Employment statistics, home prices, and single-family housing starts. Investors look for improvements on a month over month basis and that the market has been improving for the last six months.

Investors must also look at the rental market for the property they are considering buying. Investors are looking for the property to appreciate over time but they also want it to cash flow at the same time. Some investors are looking for a traditional rental situation or a non-traditional situation like vacation rentals or multiple person rental.

While general statistics can help you identify markets to consider a trusted local Realtor is your best source of information.

The house shown to the left is a house for sale in an excellent area for both traditional and non-traditional rental area. If you are interested in the Leavenworth area for investment houses we can refer an excellent real estate company: Leavenworth Realty.

Some areas that a year ago were leading in foreclosures are now experiencing rising home prices. Many area are experiencing a shortage of houses for sale and rising employment. Is the smart money waiting for the mass media to tell them that the market has recovered and it is a good time to buy a house or are they taking action now?

Caring expertise...knowledge for you!

I agree that the investor buyer is driving the market in some key areas...perhaps it's a seeking of a passive income stream?  A concern that cash could be the next bubble?   Hmmm....   Savvy post!
