Activity will increase substantially for the rest of 2009. There will be many more REO’s as investors decide to let their properties go back to their lender.. Investors that have more than ten loans cannot obtain any additional loans.

It is anticipated foreclosures will be at an all time high by the end of July because of investor foreclosures as well as the moratorium on foreclosures that ended in March of this year.

Rents are declining in the area because of high unemployment in the service and construction sectors.

Rental income has fallen $100 to $200 per unit. A smart landlord will negotiate with any tenant that is considering vacating. Much better to have a lower rent than a turnover with some vacancy time thrown in.

Enough Negatives?????

Income property now produces “INCOME”. Cap rates * are a minimum 6% and occasionally as high as 12%.

There is a short period of time where millions of dollars can/will be made.

*Cap Rate Annual net income divided by the value of the property. A cap rate of 5% means you are earning 5% of the property’s value each year from rent
