Is it time to invest in Real Estate?

Timing is everything when investing your money. So many people jump on the bandwagon and buy when the market is

If you are looking for long term investment definitely you can go for real estate because making quick buck is not the case of real estate as of now in the current recession.

I completely agree with Hanratty on one point. It's not a place of quick money making. You've to really work hard for a long time and then you can generate more than you imagine. So initially it's laborous. Not as it seems from outside. Thanks.

This is definitely one of the best times for long-term real estate investing, but there's plenty of people I know making quick money too - you just need to market efficiently for motivated sellers and build a great buyers list to quick-turn properties to. It's not easy, since fewer and fewer REAL buyers with cash exist, but still doable.

I don't agree and think there are ways to make money on both quick flips and buying properties for the long term. I have found that you can get some great deals from buying more than one property at a time. If you sell off a couple of these for a quick profit it can actually lower your basis to 0 in the other properties you bought in the pool! The key as mentioned above is to have a strong buyers list.

Like what you had said "Timing is everything when investing your money"
recently there are some news that had said that real estate business
is now at a high risk because of the economic downturn we are
dealing worldwide, even in Dubai which is known for having a good
background in real estate business is facing some problems

It is all about timing, and if you are smart with your money, it might be the time to invest.

Money can be made in down markets or in Up markets. Any time is a good time to Become a real estate investor but no matter what the market does still the best way to make money in real estate is controling the property Not owning it.

I have been investing in rental properties. Every property I purchase has a positive cashflow even after I factor in only 75% occupancy. Frankly I don't care when the market starts going up again so long as rents don't go down. When prices rebound I will be in an amazing position. So Yes I think it is time to invest
