Today's market is especially volatile for people wanting to invest in real estate.  The days of the Buy-Fix-Flip are nearly at a standstill.  However, all is not lost for the investor.  In fact, today's market is a great time for real estate investors if you have the staying power to buy, fix and RENT.

Millions of homes due to go into foreclosure in the next few years.  This represents millions of families without housing.  Many of these people are victims of sub-prime predatory loans who could no longer afford their homes when the market shifted or they were victims of job loss due to down-sizing and the shifting of American jobs off-shore.  Most of these people are victims not dead beats.

If you have the ability to spot a good deal, have the resources to renovate and the staying power to rent the properties, then this is a great market for you.  It is estimated that over 35% of New Jersey residents rent their homes and that number is sure to grow in the coming years.

Everyone I know that made their fortunes in Real Estate did not BUY-FIX-FLIP, they BOUGHT-FIXED-and RENTED their way to the millionaire rolls.
