Wow! The market has really taken quite a hit. I hope you have been able to weather the storm. It looks like the market isn't going to come around for another 10-12 months. We've been able to muddle along though under our system. We've shifted our business model to include rentals with an emphasis on converting them to leases w/ option to purchase. This has helped tremendously since the qualifying criteria is no longer up to the bank. We still qualify our clients, but with less stringent requirments than the typical lender. It also gives us time to work with our clients and get them into a better position to obtain a loan at a later time. Not real fancy, but its effective. Hope you are prosperous in all you do and have a great day. Failure is not Fatal and Success is not Final

Great advice. Whenever I'm dealing with investors who are planning to flip, I always discuss the what if's scenario upfront. If it doesn't sell, are you prepared to rent? We've done several lease options but only a few have worked out. With this market, you've got to have a backup plan.

Good advice and information that a lot of agents and companies could in a slower market.  The slow market has not arived here in our market area as of yet.  The Texas Hill Country is so unique that we are still growing at a very fast pace.
