Neighborhood Features That Lower Property Values

April 4, 2016 by Marco Santarelli

Why Investing in Real Estate is Better Than Investing in Gold

April 1, 2016 by Marco Santarelli

Gold has been in demand for many years.  It has been associated with affluence and is usually represented as ostentatious jewelry.  And unlike other precious metals, gold remains assessed at a high value.  A regular Apple Smart Watch will cost you $349 to $399.  But an 18 karat gold edition Apple Smart Watch will set you back $10,000 (USD)!

Many people would probably say gold is the best investment in the market.  Those who do are not aware that investing in real estate is better than investing in gold!

Where Are Americans Moving To?

February 23, 2016 by Marco Santarelli

  • People are flocking to Portland, Seattle, and many more affordable southern markets.

What Rental Property Investors Can Expect in 2016

February 15, 2016 by Marco Santarelli

The 2016 housing market is expected to be a picture of moderate but solid growth, with increasing interest rates a minimal concern.  Rental investors will particularly benefit as property appreciates, rents rise to record heights and vacancy rates fall.

What's Different about the Latest Housing Boom?

December 7, 2015 by Marco Santarelli

After peaking in 2006, the median U.S. house price fell about 30%, finally hitting bottom in late 2011.  Since then, house prices have rebounded strongly and are nearly back to the pre-recession peak.

However, conditions in the latest boom appear far less precarious than those in the previous episode.  The current run-up exhibits a less-pronounced increase in the house price-to-rent ratio and an outright decline in the household mortgage debt-to-income ratio—a pattern that is not suggestive of a credit-fueled bubble.
