Given the current market conditions would you ...

Definately yes. With all the money printed by the central banks inflation will pay the property off. But! always choose prime locations.

Yes,  would.  If you are an investor rentals are cheap and foreclosures are plentiful.  It is a good time to buy low and keep it until the market picks back up, and it will.  It always does! Be very selective about where and what you buy.

Why would you wait any longer? The real estate trends are predictable as they develop over a long period & the risk factor is considerably low when compared with the stock market, which is rather volatile. It takes lot of time & practice to understand the efficiency of a real estate investment but over a period of time you will enjoy the security & hefty returns a real estate investment provides. Using the right metrics based on the regular analysis gives an exact picture which can help make better Home buying decisions. Identifying the right market & finding the best property holds the key to success. In fact there is a tool through which you can research, compare & identify best places to invest.

Real Estate is like horse trading. The name of the game is the particular deal. There are folks walking away with good deals and others getting stiffed - regardless of "market conditions".

You must learn your local market so you know what value is. If you don't have the know how take the time to locate an agent you've total confidence in. Real Estate IS geolocal, even a town away is a different market.

It is probably the best time to get into real estate and invest while the prices are still low. Signs of life in the recently booming California Real Estate market has been seen by real estate experts. With property prices low, California is more affordable right now than ever and this is excellent news for those of you who are looking to pay less for a property or considering to invest in real estate.

This is the best time to BUY.  You will never see these prices again in your life time.  If you are thinking of buying, do it now or in the very near future.  I don't see interest rates staying where they are now.  Major upward pressure.  If you can raise the cash, I would purchase as many properties as I can right now.  Also, consider the commercial real estate market.   Big price discounts are happening in that market. Buy and hold properties or assets for 5 years.  Then cash out!

Yea, the real estate market is at its lowest rate therefore any investment is a good property is quite fruitful and profitable. I would definitely invest if i get some good property.

I would for sure!  As the previous posters state, the prices are right at present.  Further, there is a huge market of potential renters who have had unfortunate financial reversals and who may never be able to purchase another home due to FICO problems.  They will always be renters.  FICO is not our friend.  They are continually trashing credit scores for things that are out of the control of the public.  For instance, you can't control when Visa cuts your credit line and as a result, your balance to line of credit is lowered.  You can't control it if your car payment is sent to Maine instead of Missouri (this happened to me!!! My payment was returned to me even though it was addressed properly and it resulted in a late payment strike!)

So... get that income property while the prices are low.  Just be sure that it has what people want to rent..  3 or more bedrooms for a house, 2 or more for a condo.  Watch "Designed to Sell" and "Income Property" on TV and get them looking spiffy so you can get top dollar!

Good luck!
