With a volatile stock market it seems like a somewhat risky proposition to invest in. I am sure there is money to be made but at the same time you might not know who to turn to for good advice. At this point I don’t know anyone that can predict what will happen.

It is true that any investment has inherent risk. There has been much speculation about the future of Real Estate. Some would argue that with prices down it seems crazy to invest right now. But there couldn’t be a better time! In fact the prices combined with historically low interest rates means you can get one of the best deals ever.

I can show you how to take lower priced homes and turn them into great rental income. Even if you have never thought of yourself as a property manager I can show you easy solutions for any of the obstacles you might have. Once the market turns around it could be a very long time before we ever see prices like these. You might never see a chance like this again.

FHA Boom an Inevitable Doom?

Eau Claire Wisconsin Real Estate Agent

There has been a recent boom in the number of FHA, federally insured loans to homeowners. This has offered help to areas hardest hit by current financial conditions but “The FHA’s surge in business, which includes many loans to high-risk borrowers who put just 3 percent down in markets where real estate prices are in decline, raises questions about a potential hit to taxpayers in the future.” FHA says there is no cause for alarm and they currently have a lot of money in reserves to insure the loans.

Of course concentrating money into a more central location can be cause for alarm. If trends continue its possible that even more loans could be insured by the government but whether this is something to worry about remains to be seen. Hopefully there will be more oversight than what we have seen lately in regards to Wall Street.

Invest in Real Estate: The Perfect Storm Eau Claire Wisconsin Real Estate

Eau Claire Wisconsin Real Estate Agent

Every so many years the perfect combination of ingredients comes together for the perfect storm. The same holds true for Real Estate, interest rates drop and home sales drop resulting in lower prices. Recently a third ingredient has been added to this mix with the stock market taking quite a hit. While some might argue that investing in stocks is a good idea, I also think it goes with substantial risk. Now every investment poses inherent risk but some are less than others. In the case of Real Estate investing in Eau Claire Wisconsin and the Chippewa Valley you would be hard pressed to find cases in which a long term investment in Real Estate would be a bad idea. Now when you talk short term there of course is a much higher risk but it is a no-brainer that homes in our area have statistically gone up in value over the years. In many cases they have doubled in value in less than 15 years. There is no other investment that I know of that could possibly yield a return like this. Today that would be the equivalent of buying a home priced at $100,000 and in less than 15 years the home is worth $200,000. This is quite possible in our area. How likely will remain to be seen. But even if the trend were to slow down even to 60% of that or less we are talking about an incredible amount of potential income.

When homes were at their peak in pricing, flipping was all the rave. When the costs of materials went up and home prices fell it became rather difficult to turn a profit doing this sort of thing even if you did all the work yourself. In fact many investors are still in hot water after getting in too deep and expecting the same sort of returns.

Well now it seems a new approach is being taken and it is something that I have been saying all along. Buy low and sell high. Thats the same advice for the stock market and it holds true in Real Estate as well. With home prices down as they are if you bought a home today and held onto to it long enough for the market to come around you are looking at a substantial profit in a relatively short period of time. There are a few different ways to approach this and in the mean time using your investment as a rental would be a great idea. In a few years you decide if its worth it to you to stay in the rental market or sell it off later. I think the longer you can hold onto the property the better. I think rentals are a great investment, but like I said every investment comes with risk!

Here is an article for more information.

One thing to note is that the article is talking about a different area than here in the Chippewa Valley. The numbers are not representative of our area. Real Estate is local. But in general terms the information is valid.

Eau Claire Wisconsin Real Estate and Ice Skating

Eau Claire Wisconsin Real Estate

 I bet you are wondering what the heck these two things have in common. Well I was sitting here today finishing up a few things for the week like I usually do on Sundays and while flipping through channels somehow ice skating was on. Well before I could hit the remote to find what I was looking for I was listening to the announcer. This is approximately what he said:

You couldn’t find a better time to invest in real estate. It really is the perfect opportunity to make an investment, you just cant go wrong. Speaking of real estate that girl is running out of real estate right now., she nearly hit that wall!

I thought it was funny that on a program like this that they would be mentioning real estate. I don’t know where the guy was getting his investment advice but he really was right on the money. There is no better time to invest in real estate. There is probably no better opportunity for investment either. Real estate can yield a huge return in just a few short years.
