A law of nature (and finance) states that every crisis is accompanied by an equal proportion of
opportunity. The greater the crisis, the greater the opportunity. And our program is designed to show you exactly how to take advantage of this opportunity.
First, let us look at housing prices/values. They have taken a major hit over the last couple of years (crisis). But lower prices mean bigger and better bargains and profits for investors (opportunity). Would you rather pay higher prices, or lower prices? Because of the housing crisis, buyers are in a better position to negotiate with sellers, and sellers are having to negotiate if they want to sell. This means better bargains for buyers and investors.
Over the last several years of the "housing boom", a great many people chose mortgage options that are unwise, such as the "interest only" mortgage, or ARM's (adjustable rate mortgages). With housing values falling, those people now find themselves facing foreclosure as they are hard put to "pay the piper". A high percentage of those "creatively mortgaged" homes will end up on the auction block (crisis), resulting in even more profitable deals for investors (opportunity).
UPDATE: RealtyTrac estimates 1.2 million homes will be foreclosed in 2011. Because values have dropped but rents remain the same, investors can pick them up at such bargain prices that huge positive cash flow is assured. Each of these homes is a "Golden Goose" ready to lay its golden eggs for you. That's 1.2 million opportunities just in this one aspect of investing, alone. But these opportunities will pass quickly, so get started now!
It has been a very long time since market conditions were so positioned to benefit investors. Certainly, over the last few years, many investors made a lot of money from rising appreciation. Now, however, the wise investor will make a greater fortune from bargains in the marketplace.
And here is the kicker the "pundits" keep overlooking when they preach their doom and gloom - our population continues to grow. The Census Bureau says our population will double over the next 40 years. And every one of those people will need a place to live. So, even while prices drop, the demand is actually growing.
If you want to be positioned to profit from those bargains, now is
perhaps the best time in over 35 years to start investing - especially since it will be
even easier to get started. Just remember - no opportunity lasts forever, and this one will be gone soon.
Other Economic Factors
This is what really sets our program
apart. Our techniques are not affected by economic changes, nor are your
profits. Here's why: When you buy and
hold, as advocated by other programs (Carlton Sheets et al), you own an
expensive asset that is subject to economic changes. With mortgage payments
that do not change, this can hurt you in a "down" economy. Our techniques
do not require that you buy and hold. If you buy on February 1st, and
you sell for a profit on February 1st, the only economic factors that affect
you are those that exist on February 1st.
By cashing out immediately at the time you buy,
you may use your cash to invest in whatever is best during that type of
economy. With cash (instead of real estate, which is not "liquid")
you are more flexible, and have more options available to you. And, you
are not tied down with mortgages, taxes, insurance and maintenance.
Our
techniques, when used to buy and hold (by those who choose to do so) are
designed to provide you with either "up-front" cash or additional equity
and profits not otherwise available. So, if you buy and hold and the economy
sours, you have a wide safety margin - lots of equity (that cost you
nothing) and cash already in your pocket. It is unlikely that, short of
a wide-scale long-term depression, that you would lose anything.
