For me it’s a bit of speculation because of the volatility of the Vernal oil market but when oil really rebounds my townhouse, which currently rents for $800, should be renting for 1200-1500 depending on how hot the oil market becomes.

well you can find about 50 of them on turnkey reviews.. then vette them.. inventory is getting harder to find in most areas.. markets have rebounded.. and the expectation of massive cash flow is not what it was when everyone was buying in 2011.. and thinking that is the norm or how it will always be.I funded a bunch of turn keys for instance in Orlando in excess of 200 of them.Not only Is the big real estate wholesaling firm NO more.. but the turn key operator is now building new construction and doing commercial.. no need to sell to investors when homeowners will buy them and they can make 30k a door and not get accused of making too much money LOL...

Since the market has rebounded strongly in the last year, I have pared down my inventory of rentals -selling as tenants leave and redeployed the proceeds into fixing and flipping.

I feel like getting into smart real estate investments would be a great way to rebound and then grow our finances from there.

In some areas of the country real estate is booming, some areas are "OK", and others are stagnant or haven't rebounded to peak prices. 

The advantage here is if you buy real estate at the top of the market, you can continue to collect monthly rent payments while you wait for the market to rebound.

He's done some work on the property but seems he bought mostly expecting the market to rebound after the crash (paying off now).I do expect we may lose every tenant over the next year, but that will pay off long term, I believe.

Honestly, I am not sure which are the top 10 markets.I have seen a few surveys that seem to indicate housingprices are rebounding on both the east and west coasts as wellas the southern states.

They are buying today to lock in low interest rates and payments and build in future equity in a rebounding market.

In sunshine states like Arizona(Phoenix especially) and Florida you can get properties for 40% of their per-recession price and these prices will onnly go up as the market rebounds so people are looking at it like they can double their money in a short period of time and get some enjoyment out of it by vacationing there.
