Why is Donald Trump saying to BUY NOW?!

Tuesday, October 28th, 2008

Every day (many times - many, many times) I have the opportunity to deffend the housing market and why you shouldn’t be running around like the sky is falling. Well to add to my current explanation, Donald Trump recently posted why it is a good time to be buying and if there is going to be a time to buy, DO IT NOW!

While the press has made the economic downturn and the credit-default swap debacle a top story, don’t let it stop you from living your life and making your dreams come true.  Bad news sells better than good news and I am not here to sell anything.

Look at the hair..... Maybe Mr. Trump should shave it all off? (I have no hair)

Listen up to what I am about to say…the real estate market is not dead.  That being said, there has been a major correction to many of our nations markets but that is just the way that cycles work.  The question becomes:  Do you want to take advantage of the buying opportunities or sit on the sideline and wait for prices to head back up?

Investors who are flush with cash are making huge buys right now and picking up some great deals.  They recognize good deals when they see them and aren’t being frightened by the liberal media’s scare tactics.  Whether you are a small fish or a big fish, I would encourage you to meet with a commercial and/or residential lender to see what programs you may qualify for.  Identify this and then start shopping for some great properties at distressed prices.  I have personally seen some properties going for 30-40 cents on the dollar.  

Remember the 2 truths in real estate:

  1. You make money in real estate when you buy it right.
  2. Buy low-sell high and not the other way around.

My recommendation is to take advantage of the tough credit market and acquire great properties that will become valuable income producers while appreciating over the coming years.

GREAT ADVICE! Real estate is as much a personal investment as it is a financial investment. Meaning as much as you should be focusing on how much it fits with your life, you should also be thinking about the large financial decision you are about to make. It is not a short term, double your money in a year, type of investment. It is a LONG TERM investment. So unless you are planning on selling in the next couple years (if so then why are you buying?) this is a great time to be looking and thinking about your future.
