Buyers who are 200-300 days on the market are eager to move on. Those that are serious about investing can really take advantage of the situation. The number of direct mailings, open house signs, flyers and even telemarketing phone calls has increased in my area by 10 fold over the last month. Unbelievable opportunity to strike while the iron is hot. I certainly am taking advantage of it. <a title='Ropehouse.com' href='http://www.ropenhouse.com' rel="nofollow"> - Open House </a> Great opportunity for those that have money to invest.

For those who keep their personal debt in line, work hard, and keep on plugging, the so called recession then becomes meaningless. It seems the over spenders and the lazy always whine the loudest, and complain the most about how horrible everything is. I suspect that 5 years from now, the same folks will still be whining about how unfair life is, and how it passed them by There are “Always” opportunities out there, regardless of the economic conditions.

As for realestate, its a good investment when CAP rates and ROI calculations say its a good investment. Only a realtor makes the argument that its a good investment simply because the assest is cheaper than it used to be. Dont pay attention to whats happening with ABK and MBI, the glass is half full damn you! An amazing time for those invested in PUT options.

Great for low to moderate income homeowners? Maybe not. A 10% drop can be devastating to a homeowner who is using 90% to 100% leverage. The government's goal is to make sure these people don't suffer too much on the way down. Great opportunity for investors, yes! Great for low to moderate income homeowners? Maybe not.

I think investors realize what a great chance this is for them to grab properties in markets that are depressed but will rise in the years to come. And yes, interest rates are still low. I agree.
