First of all Happy New Year! For many of us I think it is safe to say that 2008 is a year that we will all remember for the rest of our lives. For those of us in the real estate business I think it was a wake up call. I k now it was for me.
When I look back on my career I very quickly realize that I really never thought that there could be such a dramatic change in the market that would drastically affect my income. Well...I was wrong. Like many others I too was caught off guard.
Fortunately I am smart enough to learn from my mistake. Also I am young enough that my past more than likely will not drastically affect my future. Despite some lows I truly think that this past year was a good then for me. Often times it takes a rough road to make you sit up and realize that life is short and nothing beats good planning.
I truly hope that with all of the changes and challenges we face right now that this country will come out bigger, better and stronger. I know I will. As for planning, for once in my life I am going to follow my written plan and focus.
This year could be pivotal to many American's. With record low housing prices and record low interest rates, there has never in my lifetime been a better time to take stock in America and buy real estate. I am looking forward to the coming year and remain optimistic that 2009 will be a great year for a lot of people.
