Are You Looking at the Recession Through the Lens of Opportunity? You’d Better Be!

History is a wonderful thing. It tells us that recessions always pass. This one will too. Are you going to hibernate through it –or get stronger while everyone else around you sleepwalks? The choice is yours.

Most people talk about buying low and selling high. But they do just the opposite. Swept up by momentum, they buy high hoping to sell higher. Believing that economic expansion would never end they hold on too long and ride the market to the bottom. Now that prices are low their momentum mindset has programmed these same people to believe prices will continue to go down for ever. That is great news for those of us who choose to adopt Mel Robbins’ wealth mindset.

The richest people in the world make a habit of acting calmly and swooping in at times of chaos and taking advantage of bargains in Real Estate. While most Americans are bunkered hiding from the recession, those of us with a wealth mindset are busy planning. –Mel Robbins

In response to the Savings and Loans scandal of late 1980’s and early 1990’s I started my own real estate investment business. I specialized in purchasing bank owned, HUD owned and otherwise distressed properties. On a few occasions I even purchased non-producing mortgages and conducted my own foreclosures. At one time I had 125 residential units under management.

That business was good to me but I realized that prices couldn't’t go up for ever. I began selling off my portfolio even though prices were still rising. And people were all too happy to take those properties off my hands.

Today’s recession is your opportunity to secure your financial future. Are you going grasp your opportunity?

Let me use my experience as a real estate investor to help you find great real estate opportunities. in and around Flagler County, FL that includes Palm Coast, Flagler Beach, Beverly Beach, The Hammock, Marineland and Bunnell.

I selected this market for several reasons. Flagler County was the fastest growing county in the United States in 2005 and 2006. The area was subject to much speculation and as a result the area is currently experiencing a foreclosure rate well above the national average. A good percentage of these foreclosure properties are homes that are only a few years old so they don't have the deferred maintenance and don't require the extensive repairs common with older foreclosures. Despite the excesses and careless speculation that took place in 2005 and 2006 fueled by novice and greedy investors, Flagler County remains a highly desirable retirement destination and the areas outlook for growth is exceptional.

I am the right realtor in the right market to help serious investors make money. When you are ready to explore possibilities in Flagler County call me (386-986-7091)!
