Did you know that right now when the economy is struggling and jobs are at a standstill is the best time to invest in real estate? What a lot of people did the last time real estate investing was hot was they bought and bought and soon after that the market crashed and has not yet recovered. Being cautious because of the last crash is a good idea but what you need to understand is that with all the people fearing another crash the housing market will be on sale once again that is a great time to buy as much real estate as you can afford.
