IS IT STILL A GOOD TIME TO INVEST IN REAL ESTATE? YES, IN THE RIGHT MARKETS

Savvy real estate investors continue to purchase foreclosures in markets that will be quick to rebound as the economy recovers from the current recession. Many markets across the country will experience very slow job growth and home value increases in the years ahead, however, diverse and historic high growth markets such as Atlanta GA will continue to provide investors with excellent cash flow and ROI opportunities.

Even in these tough times, investors in the Atlanta area are seeing ROI's as high as 27% on properties purchased through respected turn key wholesalers. A good wholesaler will find the best available properties at the lowest cost, provide quality rehab services, possible tenant placement, and will assist new or experienced investors with their financing.

New and experienced investors from around the country are capitalizing on the benefits of purchasing properties from a respected and experienced Turn Key Real Estate Firm. My advice is to take the guess work and risk out of finding, remodeling,renting, and financing your next investment property.

"Put Me In The Game Coach" - Time to Invest in Real Estate

There has perhaps never been a better time to invest in the residential real estate market in the US.  With the extraordinary level of foreclosure activity taking place today, first time, and seasoned investors are capitalizing on the increased inventory of available homes at greatly reduced prices.  By some estimates, up to 31% of all homes sold in 2008 were associated with a “Short Sale” or Foreclosure.  On average, a bank loses approximately $50,000+ per property once a home enters the foreclosure process. 

Investors nationwide are buying up these foreclosures with an eye on an improving marketplace in the coming 18-24 months.  With the potential for significant equity gains in an improved market, many investors are working with “Turn-key Real Estate Investment Firms” that can provide them with a home, complete rehab, hard money financing, and tenant placement.  These firms take away much of the risk and can provide investors with as much as $35-50K in equity for as little as $2,500 in out of pocket cash.

For the first time investor, this approach to “getting in to the game” can be very attractive!

Lease-Purchase: A Win-Win Solution For Today’s Real Estate Market

      A lot of first time home buyers have been pushed out of today’s buying market because of tighter restrictions by traditional lenders. Tightened underwriting guidelines and raised minimum credit requirements have virtually put a hold on home ownership for many. Home sales have slowed drastically, sellers are losing their houses because they can’t afford more than one mortgage, and buyers face an uphill battle with getting a loan. A lease-purchase is a fantastic option for sellers and buyers in hard positions.

      A lot of people have been hit hard by credit companies, and as a result their credit scores have suffered. A lease-purchase is an opportunity for the buyer to repair their credit, put a portion of rent each month towards the purchase of the home, have time to qualify for a mortgage, and ultimately become a home owner. And with a tough selling market, the seller can breathe a sigh of relief knowing that he/she can pay the mortgage until the purchase is complete. The seller also knows how much the house will sell for and roughly when the sale will be. It is a win-win situation for both buyer and seller!
