It's always a combination of location and market.My college rentals are in demand as enrollment increases.My low-income rentals are soft as businesses/government cut back hours and renters move back in with relatives.Unfortunately there's a steady supply of investors bidding up foreclosure prices in prime rental areas, sacrificing cash flow for expected appreciation.Maybe they're geniuses but it's not a bet I'm willing to make.

do these numbers include the comm thats comming on line in decemberand I think thats at 3 tril give or take a trilif you think that you have had a soft landingI think you have only just gone thru a bit of turbulance at this stageand the wheels ar not done on the plane yetso do you get them down or are you going to crash not sure yetbut interesting times ahead

You don't want a soft sale and you don't want a hard sale.

Daniel, I just left Tuscon 2 months ago and that rental market is soft there as you know.

I have watched the pre launch videos about freedom soft reloaded.

Your Wal-Mart stock, your life long world series tickets, your bass boat and your ownership interest in your business, even if it's a LLC.You should be well insured on a personal basis, most do so out of a homeowner's policy but you can also obtain a personal liability policy.

Please check out the current thread on the topic at:Freedom Soft - anyone plan on purchasing it?

Something I can pick up at an excellent price, rehab with our kids, then move one of them into it.I'm looking for 2011 to be a good year, the RE market should still be pretty soft, so the deals will be out there.

There may even be additional collateral, a bass boat, whatever and as the addition partial payments are made the additional collateral is released.

Look to FHA at 97%, ask about VA at 100%, ask about non-profits whoprovide soft seconds and purchase money grants.But, I never relied on any such programs to do a tenant purchase transaction as one day programs are offered and three years later, they may not be there.
