Getting Into The Game...Listen...Spectators!!!

Fran, you're absolutely right.. you can't steal second if you don't take your foot off first!!!

I am seeing the market has bottomed out already.  So has interest.  Do it now, or it's you may miss it.

Fran, this sounds like the same advice my grandmother gave me when I bought my first place!  Interest rates high.  Prices low!  As soon as the rates came down - and the were at 18% back then - the prices went way up! 

Now..that was refreshing!  The buyers are coming out in force here.

Fran- I agree.... and we are really seeing a pick up in business- especially first time home buyers and second home investers. The past week and the coming week are very busy... You gotta make hay while the sunshines. It works for me... Have a great weekend.

Yes, now really is the time to either jump in or miss out on some good opportunities.

35 years!  Wow.  You are a sage.. I'm curious what you think about the proliferation of huge, energy-sucking homes that will be available/abandoned in this correction, considering Gen X-ers and the fact that boomers are downsizing. 

I think a lot of people are waiting I think they are going to find out they waited to long as the lending guidelines are changing from day to day and what they could have afforded 3 months ago, now is all but a memory and the banks are now going to tell them no.

So, if you are on the fence, get out there before the lenders change their mind on your loan approval.

Hey Fran, no need to swing for the fences with two out base's loaded you just need a base hit.

Lets all hit walk off home runs !  I could not agree more - it is a time for optimisim and opportunity.  Love your attitude - keep it up : )

My wife and I recently closed on an investment property that we are in the process of fixing up (writing about in our blog) and will look to get one more before the year is out.  That is our goal ! 

And you are right, if investors are out now, the homeowners will certainly follow.

Fran- Funny I'm reading this today...I have had actual buyers in the past few days, and today got a new client that is a small builder....not even concerned with all the foreclosures in the area he wants to build.  Yep, it looks like things are starting to turn around.  So, buying now might be a good thing for many people that were waiting.
