As a real estate investor I not only keep tabs on what’s happening now with real estate markets, but I also keep an eye on how what’s happening now can affect future markets.

Based on what I have read, seen and heard, I have 2 predictions for 2010.

1. Homeowners who are behind in their payments will continue to walk away from their homes.

2. As millions of Adjustable Rate Mortgages will reset, it is expected to cause a further down turn in the market.

If you are a real estate investor, you may be wondering what this means to you? It means that it’s time for buyers to get ready for 2010 now with these 2 simple strategies!

1. Know where you will get the money to take advantage of markets that may be the lowest in a decade.

2. If you can swing it, plan to buy for the long term with the expectation that rents will rise!

No matter what the outlook is for the real estate market in 2010, savvy real estate investors can always find a silver lining. Happy Investing!
