When will you invest in real estate?

When interest rates are low?  They have never been lower in history and certainly cannot drop to zero.

When the economy turns around?  Last year economists were concerned of the second phase of a "double-dip" recession but now virtually none of them expect that, even if the economy of Greece crashes.  One even said the Greek economy was like a beautiful woman with an ugly boyfriend - if he were to abandon her, there were many willing to take his place.  He opined that Germany was poised to take over the Greek market.

When the banks are lending?  The Federal Reserve recently reported a huge surplus in the money supply...

...so the banks that feigned making loans last year are now really doing so.

When the government cuts the deficit?  During a debate Rick Perry forgot one of the three federal departments he would eliminate.  I have news for you - if you eliminated all of them it would not make a dent in the deficit.  All the money that was printed was necessary to prevent a depression and to stimulate the economic growth that continues to steadily improve.  Inflation is certain to occur but the Fed announced that it would hold the low interest rates despite the inflation.

So is it likely that the value of your investments will crash?  Just the opposite - the fear of the falling knife has been averted.

Are you waiting for the upcoming presidential election?  Well, you tell me - like it or not, is the outcome of the election even really in doubt?
