Where's The Beef???

So the stock market is in the crapper & your home is worth far less than it was a few years ago.  What should you do to make up some of the ground you lost financially?  Here is your answer...... It depends

This current market is filled with opportunity for those who understand the risks & rewards.  There are many wonderful companies you can buy stock in that quite simply are undervalued as a result of the mass hysteria in the financial markets.  If you take the "Ostrich" approach to investing and wait to reenter the market until things have improved you just missed the boat.

There is an emerging market that will boom in 2009 and beyond and that is making money in real estate via your good credit.  I am not talking about buying homes to resell but rather buying homes to rent.  Lets face it, in most areas it's a buyers market with prices lower than many of us have seen in years.

With the record number of foreclosures across the country many families are being displaced.  Many of these families have solid income, great cash flow but were unable to keep current with their existing mortgage obligations.  Many of these families will need homes (not apartments) to live in that are located in good school districts.  We are seeing a new type of renter flocking to the rental markets and guess what, there are not enough rental homes on the market to meet the growing need of this demographic.

Of course investing in rental property is not for everyone but for those of you with great credit, sufficient cash to invest and a good financial plan, this could be a great opportunity.....  

That's all I have to say about that.... For now
