I am a prospective first time buyer. I agree it is a great time to buy in terms of prices/value. My major concern is that the economy is so unstable that holding a job is no longer a given and makes the prospect of a mortgage riskier than normal.

Now is a great time to invest in real estate, if you have the cash and the ability to finance the property. Values are near their bottoms of thsi market and getting involved now would give great opportunity for a return over time. Those that waited for an opportune time to buy may be too late if they wait much longer.

Two issues we see are;1) credit is more difficult to secure and 2) leverage of existing real estate is less likely. That being said, we still see investors buying REOs and other distresses properties in the Pensacola and Destin areas.

I think now is a great type to shop. Interest rates are super low and there are lots of inventory to choose from. Like Katie says, practice is important. Don’t make a mistake and buy the first property you like. It takes practice to spot a value and more practice to stay unemotional during such a big event as a purchase. The best investors stay cool on the deal until after it is all over. This can help you avoid some big traps. There is big money to made in investing but there is also big money to be lost.

The best advice you gave to investors was when you told them to use professionals and know the market. You have to buy these homes well below market value for the investment to pay off.
