California Housing Market Trends And Forecast

May 28, 2013 by Marco Santarelli

California Housing Market News

California is a huge state and there are various market currents flowing throughout its regions, but at the moment, there are some quite similar trends happening in both Northern and Southern California. Both sections of the state are largely being driven by an increase in demand coupled with a dearth of single family homes, resulting in strong increase in prices throughout the state.

From 2008 to 2011, housing construction was at the lowest level that it had been in years. In 2005, 209,000 permits were issued for new housing units, compared to a low of fewer than 50,000 in 2008. California’s housing market is characterized by its cycles, and this one is operating along the same lines as previous ones, even if it is more pronounced than others.

FAQ on Investing in Tax Liens and Deeds

May 24, 2013 by Marco Santarelli

Which States is the best to invest in?
The best State to invest depends upon your goals. If you are interested in a return on your investment than a Lien State is the way you want to go. Iowa is a great Lien State to invest in because it currently pays 24% interest with a 2-year redemption period. If you are more interested in trying to acquire property, a Deed State is the best choice. Texas is possibly the best Deed State to invest in with a 6-month or a 2-year redemption period. To redeem property in Texas the owner must pay a 25% penalty, which you as the investor receive.
