Over the last several years, our economy has suffered one of the worst downturns in recent history.  Long-established companies have gone belly up, markets have crashed, and housing prices have tumbled.  Fortunately, it seems that the worst is behind us, and we are beginning to see glimpses of hope.  Most analysts agree, however, that the recovery will be modest and very slow-going.  As a result, more and more investors are turning to real estate as a source of security, revenue, and wealth accumulation.  At Logan Realty, Inc., we have many clients who are earning returns in real estate that are significantly outpacing returns earned in other avenues. 

Foreclosure rates in Florida are among the highest in the nation.  As a consequence, home prices have been driven to their lowest levels in years.  Banks face a surplus of foreclosure property inventory, and they are offering discounts to buyers who can purchase with cash.  Likewise, previously solvent homeowners find themselves underwater, and many are turning to short sales in order to find relief.  For buyers, these otherwise negative market trends represent tremendous opportunity.

Investors, interested in returns that are not easily realized through other investment avenues, are capitalizing on the current real estate market.  At Logan Realty, Inc., we have enjoyed great success in introducing Fix-and-Flip properties to investors who have cash or other resources that enable them to buy.  Most are earning 25% or more on investments that have been sold in a matter of months. 

Another segment of investors are those who prefer a Buy-and-Hold philosophy.  They are purchasing residences for use as rental income properties.  With so many people having been forced out of homeownership, the demand for rental property is high.  By buying at today’s current market prices, these investors not only enjoy positive monthly cash flow, but also stand to grow equity over the years as the economy continues to improve.

Real estate investing requires the assistance and guidance of a trained group of professionals.  At Logan Realty, Inc., we have that know-how.  We know our market, and we do the homework necessary to identify properties with minimized risk and maximum upside potential.  In turn, our clients are earning returns that would not be easily duplicated elsewhere.  If you are interested in learning more about these exciting investment opportunities, contact us today.
