A Safe Place to Invest During the Current Financial Crisis

"What the lion cannot manage to do the fox can." -- German Proverb

Does a good investment truly exist in the current financial crisis? The sky seems to be falling every time you read a news headline these days:

Residential foreclosure rates hit all-time highs.
Millions across the US face long-term unemployment.
Huge corporate bailouts plague our political landscape.
Many investors feel like the stock market is a roller coaster running out of control.

2010 has proven to be a scary - yet for some - a very exciting time in history. There is no denying that the economic crisis is affecting millions across the U.S. Yet there are some businesses that seem to be OK, given the fact that many companies are downsizing, scaling back, or worse, closing their doors for good.

One area that is overall in good shape is the area of apartment investing. Why?

Because as a good friend told me when I got started investing in apartments, "People ALWAYS need a place to live - no matter what the economy is doing."

That is sage advice - especially these days. You may be wondering where the best opportunities are in apartment investing. Well, let us just say that the media has done a very good job on the real estate market being in the crapper.. If you are one of many apartment investors across the U.S. you know that this is NOT the case...

The media is making it very good for US apartment investors right now. Why? They are blowing the doors off of single family homes as investments right now - a.k.a. "flipping houses". So, where will people be looking to park their money?

Commercial Investment Properties with Apartments are at the top of the list because of the following:
#1 Apartment properties will have a track record with some degree of predictability involved.
#2 When analysed properly, you can make a "good investment" in any market.
#3 People are moving FROM houses INTO apartments in a down economy. It makes sense.
#4 "People ALWAYS need a place to live - no matter what the economy is doing."

Which brings me to another very quick point for you to ponder.

Many great fortunes have been made by people doing the EXACT OPPOSITE of what all of the other people are doing and saying. Make sure that you keep this in mind as you continue to look at more real estate properties -- especially well-located, well-run apartment investments.
