Why Buyers should buy NOW...

By
Real Estate Agent with Solid Source Realty of Georgia

Top Ten Reasons to

Invest in Real Estate NOW

1. Rent rates have increased in many markets.

2. Interest rates remain extremely attractive

compared to historic levels.

3. Demand for rental properties has increased

with the elimination of sub-prime

mortgages for buyers with weaker credit.

4. Larger selection of properties is now

available. According to the National Association

of Realtors, there are more

homes on the market now as compared

to a year ago.

5. Less competition to acquire nice homes.

Everyone is sitting on the sidelines. You

won't have to out-bid another buyer to

acquire a property.

6. As noted in last month's newsletter, the

population is projected to increase dramatically

over the next 40 years.

7. Lower home prices. In many areas, investors

can acquire homes at attractive

prices with excellent cash-flow.

8. Opportunity to negotiate repairs with sellers

before closing. In the past, some investors

had to assume certain repairs to

get the seller to accept their offer. Now,

sellers are having to take care of more

repairs in order for investors to buy their

properties.

9. Builders are struggling. Investors may

now be able to acquire new construction

homes below the builder's cost. New

construction homes are hassle-free investments.

10.The real estate market will rebound

within the next year or two. Real estate

cycles have a tendency to last two to

three years. We are probably halfway

Sellers are more willing to negotiate in a slow market to get the house sold.
