Toni is Back With Her Bird's Eye View on Real Estate

Wondered what happened to Toni's Blog posts?? Well, real estate just plain got in the way. Back in November, I found a great deal on a foreclosed property here in Hoover Alabama, that I just HAD TO HAVE. Along with the excitement of moving, tweaking the new house to be "move in ready", Christmas, getting the old house ready to go on the market, AND a brisk real estate business - yes brisk- something had to go and the blogging was it.

Now, I'm basically settled in and am ready to share.

Wow! Is there a lot going on or what? Lots of news in the housing market, but it is NOT all bad. I keep hearing people compare this time to the Great Depression. Houses ARE selling and there are great deals out there. I read something a few months ago and I can't remember who said it -but some really BIG FORTUNES were made during the Great Depression.

What a wonderful time to build a real estate portfolio!! If you are getting laid off, and you loved your job, I really do feel for you. I was employed by a company that was closed during the LAST financial crisis (Texas in the 80's) so I've been there - and it's not fun. But when God closes a door, he opens a window. I truly believe that and now is the time to look for great opportunity.

If you have 401K funds at your employer, then you can take those funds and use them to invest in a self directed IRA - which can contain Real Estate. If you wanted a bigger house but couldn't afford it - well prices are coming down! Think you would like to Buy Real Estate in the Hoover Alabama area, contact me and we'll discuss the possibilities.

It's great to be back!
