Economic Uncertainty in the Stock Market

The market volatility is getting to be a little too much for many small investors as investors drew over 33 billion from the domestic stock market  mutual funds in the last 7 months.

This is the perfect time to turn those stock market woes into real estate buying opportunities. I have had a few recent buyers who have pulled their money out of the stock market and 401k’s and who are ready to invest in real estate.

Why? Because It is cheaper to buy right now than to rent real estate. Many investors are wondering where they can  invest for a better return on their money. Right now there is great opportunity for investors to cash in on low real estate prices in Orange County, CA. Rents remain high and the rental market is strong in Southern California. Throw record low interest rates into the mix and you have tremendous investment opportunity.
