Good luck buying land in Japan if you're not Japanese.

never catch a falling knife :winkwink:

well maybe not in Japan i guess....

I get several daily list from various sources and I've got my eye on a few things. Properties in my area are down 20-30% easily! Shit just isn't moving... it's gotta suck for sellers, but now is the time to buy :winkwink:

i would still buy houses now, but only houses that i can rent out and make at least $200 profit a month if i need to rent it.

at that rate i can have the whole house paid off in 10 years or so.

Whoa, that site kicks ass.

The house I am in now... Sitting the same price for about 1 year now...

A house about 40 miles away I have had my eye on, dropping like a rock. Lost 17% in 3 months....

Both houses are 5 bedrooms.. both 3300 sq feet... both with a large loft (poker room)... and the 40 miles away house has twice as much land....

I hate where I live.

You should start looking seriously. In 89-90 when things dropped then I was in the market and this stuff does not turn fast so you have tons of time but always better to buy after declines then to buy when things have had a big runup. And don't be nervous about bashing them lower. Take 12% or more off the asking and see what happens.

Pretty good read. He does make some valid points but does seem to leave out a lot of the tax benefits of owning investment properties

Where abouts is this down 20-30%?

I would wait another 6 months, it's still sinking, I would rather miss the bottom than buy it and watch it sink even more...
