We all know we need to invest, but how do we do it safely. Most people invest in stock market in one way or another, but how do we know we are buying at the right time. Investment advisers and the financial news tell us we need to invest steadily to take advantage of the market’s ups and downs. But what happens after we are retired, and we can’t handle the down part. For the last 10 years interest rates have been so low that it’s been almost impossible to get a decent return. The stock and bond markets are full of problems right now.
Real estate is a different story. When you buy property you’ve got something tangible. You’ve got something you can see, feel and use. You can live in it, or you can lease it out, or you can sell it. Right now if you’re investing in Palm Springs California property, you can get a great deal. There are thousands of properties, in Palm Springs, that are either in foreclosure are headed for foreclosure.
You can buy some of these properties for 50% of what the previous owner paid. You can buy residential property or commercial property that is being sold to the highest bidder. For example, on East Francis Drive there is a house that had $403,750 in loans on it and it is now valued at $132,409 as of April 14, 2010. I’m looking at another on W. Santa Rosa that ForeclosureRadar values at $539,146 and it has loans on it of $1,328,000.
Real Estate has always been a primary investment. Everyone needs a roof over their heads of some type. Over the last few years, new home owners were forced into ridiculous mortgages that created un-affordable balloon payments within 6 to 10 years. This has all come crashing down now, and these unhappy homeowners are bailing out of their now un-affordable homes. This is causing a glut of homes on the market and reducing prices so that investors can now buy a California properties that they can now rent out for a positive cash flow.
So if you can buy property for half what it sold for five or six years ago you can probably afford to lease it to the same people who tried to buy it back then. They can easily afford to pay the rent on a property that was purchased at half the price it was a few years ago.
Another great advantage that investors have today is that we currently have the lowest interest rates in decades. It can’t last long, but interest rates today are lower than 5%. My sister just bought a house in Palm Springs, California and got a 30 year fixed interest rate of 4.62%. This combination of low prices and low interest rates is very favorable to investors who want to rent out their properties for profit.
