Taking Advantage of This Tough Market

There truly is one thing that I have enjoyed, and will continue to enjoy about this market. One hurdle with my personal business is my age. However, my maturity does tend to set me with a crowd slightly older.

I am slowly starting to pick up buyers, first time home buyers. Generally I speak with friends, distant and close, that are currently renting. Once I get the chance to fully explain this market to them, they do often agree that this is a good time to buy.

I spoke with another lady last night, that perfectly fits the scenario of the couple I worked with in my first deal. Young, married, currently renting, good job, decent credit.

A lot of people in their young 20's that I speak with are still in the mindset of our market a few years ago of a home being a purchase they cannot afford, they often say, "I can't afford my own home.......Can I?"

I have found it to be very rewarding to work with these first time home buyers. Generally they have a little money saved up, but the greatest thing, most are renting. That currently is the first problem with the people that want to buy, they have a home, that they cannot afford to sell.

They might not get approved for the mansion they dreamed of, but with lending the way it is generally you can be reassured that the home they are approved for is one that they can afford.

Kinda just some food for thought.
