    Default Where should I buy?

    With the market being down in a lot of areas and
    it being harder to get money, even though there
    are a LOT of good deals even I can only buy so
    many.

    So where do you think when the market comes back
    all the "Safe Money" will be invested.

    Please be specific and explain why?

    Default Investing

    If you are referring to specific parts of the country to invest, I personally like the midwest. Indiana, Michigan, and Ohio all have very inexpensive properties. So you can invest a smaller amount per property, yet the rents are quite strong in comparison to home prices.

    Did I understand your question right??

    My efforts are not purely self promotional here I believe that Houston is the very best market to put your money in. My reasoning is that the Houston metro is about 9% under valued according to historical terms. Which mean that any down side potential is limited. Houston has the strongest economy in the nation. Houston has the highest population growth of any major MSA in the country. It looks as though that trend will continue. Houston is some what insulated against the economic down turn and this shows y the shipping numbers and job growth numbers for the metro this year. Houston showed expansion while the rest of the country showed contraction. And finally rents are very strong compared to home values along with the fact that the Houston rental rates have increased almost 13% this year.

    I have properties (Resort Area less than 5 minutes from Walt Disney World) 30-50 cents on the dollar in Florida. We are way oversold here.

    If your strategy is to hold on the property for 3-5 years you can make some serious money.

    Default What about this Area?

    I have been doing some market research this
    week and certain areas of Charlotte NC seem
    good, ie: New build in the Steel Lake Area and
    near Lake Wiley.

    Anyone have any investments there or know
    the area?

    Have you thought about investing overseas? We have seen amazing investment growth in real estate as part of a booming ski resort over here in Niseko, Japan.

    With all the financial turmoil, prices here have remained stable so far and winter always brings increased investment.

    I'm not trying to self-promote - but there is a reason why I'm over here
