With recent reports of even higher mortgage defaults, there is an interesting opportunity for real estate investors. The writing in on the walls so to speak but will we listen. There was a very timely article written about How Toxic is Your Mortgage? Some people have refinance to get from under the adjustable mortgage rate loans they took while being attracted to low teaser adjustable rates.

Now, the default rate is high. On Tuesday, March 13, 2007. The anxiety over mortgage lenders, particularly the sub prime lenders that make loans to people with poor credit, pushed The Dow Jones down by more than 240 points according to stock market experts. This is the second-biggest drop in nearly four years.

As an investor, should you buy, sell, refinance or build? Let us know your thoughts.

What is your pleasure?  There are Real Estate Investors that love to flip and those who love to rent.  Those that live for the ‘big hit’, you know, the homerun, and those would want ‘residual income’ from rental properties.  Now, I don’t have anything against either.  Personality will play a big role in what type of investor you are or will become.

Speaking from personal experience, I have found it hard to focus on both at the same time.  I have done both, but have either focused on one or the other.  One thing you want to make sure to avoid if you decide to flip is a Flipping Scam that has victimized new investors.  Currently, I’m a Landlord, but I’m dreaming of flipping again.  What type of Real Estate Investor are you?
