This week I have been monitoring a lot of threads on where the market really is and trying to get a pulse on the best strategy to use right now.

In a lot of markets I see that now is the perfect time to buy and hold and reap some cash flow if you can.  In fact I have a two contacts that over the perfect turn key products for this:

On in the Denver Market – buy at 80-85% fully rehabbed, rented and cash flowing

Another in some other markets – buy for $5,000 down – they will rehab, rent and then refinance you into an 80% loan and handle the property management on a rehabbed and cash flowing property.

What I have found though is that the information in the market goes back and forth on if now is the time to buy or is it the time to shy away.  Here are a few of the stories and other blog posts  I have found on this:

As you can see there is a mix of both negative and  positive comments on the market.  We have personally tempered our activities, but not stopped all together.  We believe the market will improve, when is the question and if it will decrease more is a factor as well.
