Real Estate Timing

Real Estate Timing
By Alan Korber




When is the best time to buy real estate? When buying real estate for investment, smart money does not buy at, or near, the top of the market. Smart money buys real estate at, or near, the bottom of the market.



Historically, real estate often runs in cycles of approximately 7-10 years. Real estate often goes up (sometimes dramatically) for several years, tops out, goes down for several years, hits bottom and then starts going up again, beginning another 7-10 year cycle. It's a bell curve (shaped like a hill). And, when you are considering investing in real estate, you can simply figure out where you are on that 7-10 year bell curve and that can tell you in what direction real estate values are likely to go, and for how long.



note: this is the average historical method and does not take into account prolonged or dramatic upward or downward swings (bubbles or crashes).



If you are investing in real estate for a relatively short term gain (such as 3-7 years) and you buy at or near the top you could see the value of your real estate go down and you would historically have to wait approximately 7-10 years to see it regain its value and/or establish new highs. If, on the other hand, you are buying real estate to hold it for a long period of time (such as 20 years or more) you need not generally be overly concerned with these up and down 7-10 year cycles.



And when it comes to highly volatile New York or California real estate all normal timing and logic goes out the window!



For real estate investment timing:



1. try to buy at the low end of the current 7-10 year cycle



2. try to sell at the high end of the 7-10 year cycle



3. if you are in the wrong part of the current 7-10 year cycle, and can wait, a little patience can pay off handsomely



4. real estate is not a highly liquid investment; getting in and getting out takes t-i-m-e



5. in a real estate bubble or crash it's better to be safe than sorry



6. New York and California real estate often does not conform to the typical cycle (and thus may defy timing as well as logic!)

Get The Truth Behind The Real Estate Hype

Unlock That Guru's Secrets Long Before He Can Put The Squeeze On Your Credit Card.

Dear Friend,

There is big money in real estate. Everybody knows it. In fact, I'll bet you know at least one person who has made a fortune in it. That's why there are so many programs out there. Everyone knows the money is there, they just don't know how to get it. So a pack of so-called "gurus" stepped forward, each with a different ultimate plan for wealth. The trouble is that they all claim to have a secret while discounting the methods of the others. It is a mass of confusion. With all the conflicting information, it is virtually impossible to know which method or methods really work. It's hard to even decide which concept to look at first.
Wouldn't It Be Great If Someone Gave You A Sneak Peek At The High Dollar Programs?

Exploding The Myths & Exposing The Secrets Of Real Estate Gurus is exactly that. I have broken down and simplified 7 of the most popular concepts taught by the real estate evangalists you see on late night TV, hear on paid radio talk shows and who hard sell you at their phony "exclusive" invitation events. In this amazing manuscript, you'll learn about "no money down", purchasing "subject to", "tax liens", and more.

With this enlightening report, you will:
Myths Of Real Estate

* Understand the #1 reason so many new investors fail.

* Spot the hidden dangers of buying property with no money down.

* Consider the ethical and logistical hangups of pre-foreclosures.

* Learn the simple realities and true potential of buying tax liens.

* Grasp the dominant flaw in the majority of real estate investing programs today.

Subject To Financing Method
Get That Deed

Now you can learn how to invest in real estate the easy way without having credit or thousands of dollars in cash. Learn the simplicity of the "Subject To" method with a step-by-step guide.

This guide will show you how I purchased, on average, 3 properties PER MONTH WITHOUT CREDIT - for less than $20 EACH - my first full year investing in real estate.

You can, too!

STOP! If you have always wanted to invest in real estate but are tired of those "No-Money Down" programs or websites that advertise how easy it is to purchase investment properties yet charge thousands of dollars for a "boot camp" or seminar, this page is for you!

...Like you, I used to wonder why the Gurus made investing sound so easy, yet charged thousands of dollars to attend seminars or hundreds of dollars to purchase "kits" to get you on your way. I have purchased many kits from various experts - Carleton Sheets, Ron LeGrand, etc. The one thing that I learned from all of these programs was...
They are too expensive!

Sure the methods work, but the courses are costly! I should know... because I have been spending money on the same information myself, yet I found that the methods that were discussed involved using credit to purchase these properties or discover an underground formula from guys that the "gurus" know about, but refuse to even discuss unless you attend the seminars. What I found explains why most struggle to successfully enter the real estate game if they don't have great credit or large amounts of disposable cash...
They Don't Understand "Subject To" Investing!

Okay, so what's a 'Subject To' and what makes this technique work?

Well, Subject To investing is what I like to refer to as "Getting the Deed". What this means is that you can legally purchase someone's house and leave the seller's mortgage in place. You don't assume the mortgage, since that would require bank qualifying, closing costs, delays, or in other words, having good credit! You and the seller sign legal agreements that give you possession of the home (you get the deed) and another agreement that states that you are responsible for making future mortgage payments...

BUT, the mortgage remains in the seller's name!

I want to expose a little-known secret so that the average person can begin to invest in real estate and develop a portfolio prior to getting into larger areas of the real estate market...

...and I can only do this because I have spent an entire year attending seminar after seminar and paying thousands of dollars for materials that you can get off of the internet for FREE while successfully testing what I learned on average guys just like you - guys who have been kept out of the loop by an entire industry.

And in the end , it took me a full year to realize the truth hiding behind the lies and false promises. Twelve full months to discover a simple system and use it to purchase my first investment properties.
