Home Prices Fall Again

Office of Federal Housing Enterprise - FinancialRebel.comIs there an end in sight? Today, a government report from the Office of Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight was released that said home prices in May declined by 4.8 percent over the past year. Are we getting near the point when prices are more appetizing for real estate investors again or do we have a long way to go?

The Pacific Division, see states it encompasses below, actually showed a price increase, which was the first since March 2007.

Also, from April 08 – May 08 the Middle Atlantic and East North Central Division showed a 0.1% increase and the West North Central Division stopped losses to remain even at 0.0%.

Buying Land, Breaking Land Investing Rules

Open up almost any real estate investing book that’s about buying raw land and you’ll be told that you should never purchase land without seeing it in person first. Buying land without doing lots of in-person tests and homework is called foolish.

This is exactly the rule I broke when I first got started in raw land investing for my real estate investing portfolio. And I made a killing.

ABOUT FINANCIAL REBEL

My name is Jason Martin and this is my investment blog. Back in Jr. High School I fell in love with an electrical wiring company's stock on Wall Street. After following the stock daily in the papers—the Internet wasn't around back then—I sent them a letter and they sent me back all sorts of wonderful information about their company.

In High School, we had a stock market contest. All the kids were picking companies that made stuff they consumed. When I announced my beloved company, I was laughed at. Little did they know that my company was going to be the subject of a takeover soon.

Long story short, I won the contest and have made money in the stock market, through real estate investing and so forth. If you're looking for someone to tell you how to buy and hold $300 stocks for an eternity or someone who will pump up garbage micro-cent stocks, I'm not your man.

I hope you enjoy Financial Rebel. If you do, please leave your comments and share this site with those you know.
