Is This the End of the Private Real Estate Investor Era?

Are you a real estate investor? Have you noticed a frightening shift in the real estate market lately. Yes, houses and foreclosures are selling, but who is buying them?

With the uncertainty in the stock market, hedge funds and investment firms are snatching up the bargain priced houses before the private investors even get a chance to get in there. They see the potential for real estate investment and they are latching onto it. They are holding on to the houses in huge lots and renting them out. And with their massive funds, they can outbid a small time investor every time.

According to The Wall Street Journal, "The era of mom-and-pop real estate investors is quickly coming to an end.” Some of these huge organizations are even buying out whole streets and neighborhoods. If it hasn't started happening in your neighborhood yet, don't be surprised if you see it soon.

Do you know how to compete or even just survive as an investor in a market dominated by huge organizations?

I found a great source of information on how to not just survive, but thrive in the coming real estate market.

Now is a Good Time to Buy Real Estate

Even Donald Trump agrees that now is a great time to buy real estate. The prices and the interest rates are low. With the national debt being so high, the odds are that interest rates and prices will climb, making real estate an excellent investment.

If you’re thinking about investing in a home or even become a real estate investor, experts say low home prices combined with low interest rates make this the best time in years to become a home owner or a real-estate investor.

What’s more, it looks like the real-estate market is beginning to recover: even though U.S. houses lost $489 billion in value during the first 11 months of 2009, that was still significantly lower than the $3.6 trillion lost during 2008, according to real-estate website Zillow.com.

“We haven’t seen home prices this low in so many years, coupled with the rates being so low,” says Jill Sjolin, an agent with Windermere Real Estate in Woodinville, Wash., who specializes in investment properties. “When the money is cheap to borrow and the houses are cheap to buy, it’s absolutely the best time to invest.”

Even if you have bad credit, there are still ways you can buy real estate. For FREE information go to http://icanbuynow.blogspot.com Read more on this article...
