Is it time to start thinking about buying real estate?  Are we at or close to the bottom of the market?  We definitely are in some areas.  I have clients getting amazing values in CA, AZ and Las Vegas. 

 

Run complete financial projections before you purchase the property or start the project. Be very deligent about costing out all of your out-of-pocket expenses. Continually watch for market changes while you are working on the project and consider trying for a "pre-sale" so you have a commited Buyer.
