Continuation from INVESTORS,   Even with the market down a little bit now, he can afford to make it through this cycle because of the extra cash he put into reserves and the good loans he took out on the homes.  When the market turns around, which it will, he's on track to make some serious appreciation. You see, California houses appreciate at a rate over 6% annually.

Not bad!  And consider this. Because most of us buy real estate with leverage, that 6% return represents a 25% to 30% return on the down payment we invest. Of course, it's possible that the future will not behave like the past. But if it doesn't, how will other investments be performing? Just be sure to have a well thought out strategy that is within your means.    If you'd like us to take a look at what's possible for you, give us a call or send us an e-mail.  We'll be glad to help you evaluate your investment opportunities.                       415-406-2330      Email Us!
