Wishing you had of gotten in on the Real Estate boom that has now all but ended? Were you thinking you should get out of Real Estate?

“Now may be the perfect time to enter the market”, says Real Estate expert Brian Marsh. “The main stream press has its job to do, and that is to sell stories. As of late, they’re still trying to sell the story of Real Estate’s demise, but Real Estate experts, and market facts tell another story. Real Estate prices have taken a dip, in some highly inflated areas, but many parts of the country, like the Dallas, TX area, remain steady and strong.”

Statistics from the National Association of Realtors show that most major metropolitan areas did take a dip in the 4th quarter of 2006, compared to 2005. However, some markets saw an increase, including Texas, with a 6.2% increase in sales.

Investing in Real Estate, like investing in the stock market, requires knowledge, resources, and strategy. Methods of investment include buy and hold, flip, short term hold, long term hold, lease/purchase, duplexes, triplexes, apartments, and more. “Within my home town of Dallas, there are areas of decreasing value, increasing value, highly increasing value, new home areas, condo redo areas, and areas of urban renewal. It’s easy to make a bad choice in your home purchase, but with a knowledgeable real estate professional, its unlikely. Realtors, unlike some investors, are much less likely to make decisions based on their emotional attachment or fear, because they are removed from the investment.”

“A lot of people see the dips in real estate values as risky or detrimental, but professional real estate investors see them as an opportunity. Unlike the stock market, homes can be rented, and even sold on a lease purchase when values drop. This significantly reduces the risk of loss.”

It’s important to have a Real Estate team including a Realtor who specializes in Real Estate investment to help you make wise decisions.

For those who do have the knowledge, resources, and strategy, now may be the perfect time to pick up undervalued real estate or invest in real estate that is appreciating highly.

But what about people who have lost their shirt in real estate? “Most of the people that we are aware of who lost a lot of money in real estate fall into two categories.

The first, is people who try and do it on their own, or who have a poor Realtor. There are a lot of scams that can’t be seen with the naked eye. A knowledgeable Realtor will know what to look for. For instance, mortgage fraud is rampant at this point, and inflated neighborhood prices can throw off a Realtor’s price opinion, and even an appraisal, if the real estate professional isn’t aware of the signs of this kind of fraud activity.

“Interest rates are still at an all time low, the economy is good, and undervalued homes are always plentiful in the right places. Real estate isn’t like the stock market, now is always a good time to buy, if you have wise counsel.
