Bloomberg had some interesting news about real estate investors earlier this month. “As the U.S. housing recession enters its fourth year, there’s no sign of a recovery because speculators account for most of the rise in sales.”

What is Recovery?

This got me thinking: How do they define recovery? In terms of the housing market, how will recovery ultimately be measured? Price stabilization? Fewer foreclosures?  More accessible home loans? More reasonable terms? Housing Inventories that don’t match the number burgers served by McDonalds?

Though some of us may look great in tights and a cape — members of or proud and independent profession are ill-equipped to go back in time and undo the havoc that has been unleashed on or economy by unbridled Wall Street greed and Main Street folly, but at least we’re doing or part to clean up the mess.

According to a National Association of Realtors (NAR) report released at the end of 2008, there were 4.2 million homes on the market in November, falling from a record peak of 4.6 million in July. What does Bloomberg call that? A death rattle?

The REI Light at the End of the Tunnel

Most signs of recovery seem to relate back to confidence in the market. If real estate investors are out there in the trenches, securing financing and taking chances on houses that the mainstream has written off as blight, aren’t we leaders on the road to recovery?

According to the FDIC, half of all U.S. purchases in November were foreclosures, and at the end of Q3, banks owned a record $11.5 billion of repossessed homes.  What do these data tell us?

Can Our Efforts Turn the Tide?

While much of the nation is sitting on the couch, watching the news and wondering why their credit cards suddenly stopped working, and lenders continue panhandling  Congress for their next financial bottle of Night Train, we’re out there in droves,sweating real bullets, replacing miles of copper wire that’s been gutted from abandoned (bank-owned) properties, finding homes for abandoned pets, painting, landscaping and committing other wanton acts of rehabbiness.

These efforts aren’t just entrepreneurial wizardry, they’re American in spirit. And it’s going to take a lot more of where that came from in every every economic sector to get this train back on the tracks.

If We Can’t Spur Recovery, How Can We Trigger the Next Crash?!

While the media may be slightly more reluctant than banks to give credit where it is due heading into 2009 with a fresh, new federal administration, this Bloomberg article does raise an interesting point about our mighty force in the rapidly evolving housing market.

Robert Shiller, father of the popular Case-Shiller real estate price index and current Yale University professor told Bloomberg: “You don’t have [the market] in strong hands, you have flippers. These speculators are preventing the market from crashing now, and when they get out, it could fall again.”

Is it just me, or is it ironic that the same article that prematurely credits us for the next crash gives us none when it comes to setting the recovery wheels in motion? Read the article for yourself and let me know what you think.

Real Estate Investors: Do You Want to See More Green on Your Spread Sheets?

Brace Yourself! GaryBoomershine.com Community Members are Gazing into their REI Crystal Balls and Discovering the Secret Market Timing Strategy that Generated More Than $100,000,000 in Red Hot Deals for one Savvy Entrepreneur. Due to popular demand, we’ve made a replay of this timely call  available for free! Won’t you Join Us?

Housing Prices Are No Secret, but Expert Market Timing Is!
Nationwide, single-family home prices in July plunged another record-breaking 16.3 percent from last year. We’re continuing to see sharpest declines recorded since Standard & Poors began tracking the data in their Case-Shiller index some 20 years ago. What does this tell seasoned real estate entrepreneurs about future investment strategies? Now’s the time to start crunching some numbers.

Creative real estate veteran Ken Wade believes that there is nothing truly unusual about today’s housing market: There’s no crash, and the media focus on handful of markets is having a devastating impact on market psychology and prices. In reality, what we’re experiencing as real estate entrepreneurs, is the natural cycle that moves the market.

Ken is the Harvard-educated numbers cruncher behind an innovative system for research-based real estate investing. He has spent much of his career tracking local real estate market trends and reaping the profits from his investments. Ken estimates that he’s done $100,000,000 in real estate deals over the past 30 years.

Market Timing Can Make or Break your RE Business
Ken developed his market timing system to give regular investors access to the same sophisticated tools that financial institutions and major players use to maximize profits in their real estate transactions. And on this special Webcast that we’ve recorded and posted for a limited time only,  he’s sharing that coveted knowledge exclusively with members of GaryBoomershine.com.

Three Rules to to Maximize Your Profits & Revolutionize your RE Market Timing
From years of painstaking research and experience, Ken knows how these cycles work in 93 percent of the housing markets in the United States. And he’s developed three rules over the years to guide his investment decisions:

1. Forget About the REI Fundamentals: Analyses based on market factors such as job growth, mortgage rates, building permits, housing starts, population and migration, and personal income don’t work for predicting market cycles & fail to provide investors with solid decision triggers.
2. Markets Rise & Fall Based on Supply & Demand: Yes! It’s really that simple.
3. Market Psychology Drives Real Estate Prices: In many markets, when investors and speculators began executing their exit strategies, the media sounded alarms that triggered a nationwide backlash. The resulting price drops are invitations for savvy entrepreneurs to scoop up someone else’s losses for massive profit gains. Since most U.S. housing markets were not subject to the price surges that are commonly associated with the real estate “boom,” Ken says, they’re holding steady during the “bust.”

Talk About Shock & Awe!
With Ken’s awesome system, real estate entrepreneurs can base their business decisions on the same types of proprietary data that the banks and major players use. Only with this system, the data are specifically tailored to fit the needs of an array of real estate entrepreneurs, regardless of investment strategy, experience or style.
