short sale, foreclosed homes Realtors, if the economy has you concerned, consider getting Realtor short sale training that will help you broaden your potential market. We've been speaking with people who are financially OK right now, and they are thinking about getting into the market for investment homes. More than one family we know wants to take advantage of the foreclosed homes on the market and the short sales right now. They feel that the market may be reaching the bottom. Apparently prices are still falling in some markets where the prices were overly inflated, so their fall is a natural event, not a fluke of the economy. Foreclosed homes are another case altogether. Many people bought homes they could not afford had it not been for the early teaser rates that got them in, and now that their payments have reset, they simply can't make the payments. It's sad that it happened, but it appears that people with solid financial positions are thinking that this is a good time to get back into real estate, so learning from short sale experts about how you can get into the buyer market shopping for bargains will certainly help your financial bottom line.
