Back during the Real Estate "Boom Time," between 1997 - 2006... scores of real estate investment "speculators" came out of the woodwork to try to "cash in" on the "hot market" with it's historical skyrocketing home values. A lot of these people were not true "Real Estate Investors." They simply saw an opportunity to make a lot of money....FAST... and wanted to get a piece of the action.
Unfortunately, due to "market timing" and loose mortgage lending practices... a lot of those people couldn't turn the property over fast enough to make their fortune. Instead... they ended up "holding the bag" on properties who's values tanked along with the Real Estate market, leaving them owing more money than what the investment property was worth... and on top of that, their "creative financing" mortgages sucked the rest of the life out of their hopes for holding onto the properties long enough to recover their loses.
ENTER THE CURRENT OPPORTUNISTIC INVESTMENT MARKET!
The current real estate market presents an exceptional opportunity for investors due to the fact that property values have come down to a level where the buyer /investor can take advantage of the pricing opportunities that exist in the market today... get good financing rates... and VOILA!... positive cash flow is achieved encouraging a "buy & hold" mentality that is the sign of a seasoned, true investor! Great news indeed for experienced investors who have been waiting for this type of market to come around again and know the secret to achieving long-term investment wealth.
Another great point to be made is that, due to the unfortunate reality that many homeowners who were also victims of "bad market timing" and sub prime mortgage loans, have lost their primary residences and are now entering the "rental market" looking for rental homes to live in. This group of people offer an excellent opportunity for the investor for leasing an investment property to someone who wants a long-term rental and who will look at the "rental home" as their sanctuary... not just a "rental"... and treat it as such!
