Most marketing of properties are still done the same way it was done 60 years ago! open houses on the weekend, etc.. The advent of the internet has changed the way every industry markets it's self, and that is a good thing. It is a change that the Real estate industry to change with it.

Anyway you look at it its better than just renting,lets say you find something else you can also write a lease option on your lease option or rent the propertyor sell your rights to the option, the list of options, excuse the pun are wide open.

I'm thinking they're jealous because the investment compamy is making money and they aren't. They're planning on 'shadow inventory' and got caught.

For homeowners that want to keep their home but are hopelessly upside down I think a good option is to offer to buy their home via short sale using transactional funding and then give them a one year lease. Then list it for sale as a tenant occupied home that will cash flow with the new house payment. Let the new investor know the tenant is interested in switching to a lease purchase after they buy the home. Please comment on your ideas of this strategy.

The commercial bubble has yet to break, which will also impact the SFR properties, as when you have as many as 15M plus americans out of work, or with lower paying re-placement jobs, then there will be a long time, before there is any measurable recovery, so don't kid yourself that we are NOW in any form of "recovery", as the SKY IS STILL FALLING...and until it bottoms OUT....there still will not be any measurable "recovery" beginning, as our economy will travel along the bottoming-out benchmark, for a while. Don't really know for how long, but for a while. Expect this so-called "recovery" to take up to 60 months if not up to 84 months, WHEN it finally bottoms out. Sad to say, but all the leading economic indicators and including other indicators which might not be included in their reporting assessments and evaluations, says, we are in for a loooooong haul in this toxic state of economic cespool. But, there are equities to be captured on the down, and on the rise, so hang in there, with a shape eye for capturing equity-valued real estate properties re: SFRs and COMs..:-) Get your collective finances in order to take full advantage of what is taking place in our US-Global economic hiccup and throw up..:-) And always remember....THIS was MAN MADE....to squeezes the equity values OUT of the MARKETPLACE, so either head for the sidelines and watch the unfolding of our ecomomic cespool, or wisely jump in after your due diligience. May Good fortunes be made by you and us all...in these trying economic times...:-) Hummmm????…well,, I don’t read into the Beige Book’s report that there is any good news to speak of….as it is what it is…a totally down economic market…in real estate properites and in housing, especially.

Especially with low mortgage rates, as a RE-investor can finance his own SFR and/or COM properties with his own finances, and/or others' pool monies via low-rate mortgages. So, YES, a down real estate market is a great time for an active (well heeled and experienced) real estate investor. And for the smaller monied guys, via the onesy & twosy equity deals captured, it's also good for anyone with liquidity and a sharpe eye for equity-held property captures...:-) Harold Whiteley, DFW, TX Metro Area...:-) Well, as Warren Buffett might look at it…re: the various RE-Niches in the marketplace, if the true values are anywhere to be accurately measured and evaluated, then –when real estate’s various niches get down to where it is a true equity-value capture, then YES, a down market is a positive thing for a real estate investor.
