The latter months of 2008 signaled an unprecedented collapse in terms of the stock exchange, job market, and above all, the property market. Shades of the Great Depression of the 1930s hit hard, and as the number of foreclosures began to rise, people began to question whether investing in the property market was really such a good idea after all. Now four years later, at the end of 2012, people are STILL asking the same question: Is it the right time to get back into the property market?
In this timely guide, popular personal finance author Jim Franklin takes you through the current situation in the real estate market, to determine if investing in property is really such a terrible idea as of December 2012. He reviews how the property market works in the United States, and the pros and cons of investing in the property market at any time.
In particular, he looks at the current market to see what opportunities are available for the savvy investor who is willing to study the market indicators carefully and educate himself/herself about the potential risks and rewards of getting into the property market at this time.
