The Power of Quality Thought
Being aware of the trends in business and the economy can help an investor make strategic decisions to stay ahead of a trend.
Being aware of the trends in business and the economy can help an investor make strategic decisions to stay ahead of a trend. The ability to recognize the trends in housing valuation, taxation, and lending are crucial in real estate. Housing in some areas will reach very inexpensive levels as taxing authorities look for ways to generate more revenue. Taxing authorities that implement new taxes during the recession are not very likely to withdraw them during a recovery. In addition, lending must still become more personal. Once this happens and a recovery begins, housing valuations will rise. The good news is that until banking becomes more personal, there may be opportunities for creative financing solutions through options like owner financing, where a homeowner needs to sell a house, but the buyer cannot get financing. Trends such as this could help or hurt the economy.
