It’s too early to take advantage of the downturn. Housing crashes tend to be slow, gradual curves, because people are initially reluctant to sell and take a while to adjust to the new realities. See our discussions in ‘School of Profit’ on http://www.globalpropertyguide.com

This is the time to take advantage of the downturn. But not all areas are best to jump in. Do your due diligence and have plenty of reserves on hand and you can make a lot of money right now!

Good article. I like the way that you take a cautious and conservative approach to your home investing advise in this uncertain market.

I just refinanced my principal residence to take out some equity for a down payment on my next investment property. Interest rates are low and prices are low and negociable. Its a good time for investors.

I will post a link to this article on my blog.

The best advice about buying a home in a down market is, DON”T BUY!!!! Good grief how much sense does it make to buy in a decling market, we’re a long, long way from the bottom. Prices are surely to decline another 20%, and 50% in some markets. Patience my friends. Save your money, sit on the sidelines and wait. Good things come to those that wait.
