Donald Trump Says it's Time to Buy

I heard Donald Trump the other day on CNN saying the same thing.

Donald Trump: 'Now is the time to buy'

On his new CNBC show, "The Billionaire Inside," Donald Trump believes this is one of the best times to get into real estate.


Question: With everything going on in real estate right now and the fallout of the subprime market, is this a good time to invest in real estate?"
Trump's answer: "It's the best time. Two years ago I would be making speeches and telling people 'don't go into real estate.' People would be paying me lots of money to tell them how good it is and I would be saying don't go in.


"I also told people to stay away from those mortgages; I called them 'exploding mortgages' — stay away.


"This is the best time. You can make great deals today that you could not have made a year ago, you couldn't have made two years ago. It's funny, there is less interest in real estate now because people have been hurt and this is where there should be more interest.

"This is the time to really go in, this is the time to really bargain, really chisel away and go in and make some really good deals. You could not have done that a year ago."

I couldn't agree more.  If you can qualify for a loan, what's stopping you from buying in this market?

Trump said the same thing in an interview October 2007 - and look how much prices have fallen!  Even I saw that coming.  Even now he seems to say that a year from now would work - so if I were you I would listen to trump and shoot for the end of his spectrum.

Also, keep in mind that housing downturns on average last in the period of 10 years.  Our impatient society with their bailouts and such seems to think they can just cheerlead a little and blow another bubble.  Not so fast.
