Top Residential Rental Income Property Markets

Why Residential Income Property
Nearly 4 million families have been pushed into the rental markets since the great recession began and the housing bubble burst. At the same time the supply of habitable rental units has shrunk substantially. The result is that rents are rising and investors are moving in for the returns. The National Association of Realtors projects a 4% average increase in rents nationally this year and 4% in 2013.

Evaluating Denver Investment Property

Skyler Moore

Denver Real Estate Trends

Every real estate investment market is unique and has it’s own thumb print.  Denver is no exception and often surprises prospective buyers or real esate investors when they see the Denver real estate chart.

Standard & Poor’s just released the latest Case-Shiller Home Price data so where do we stand now?   Market pundits have been cheering the percentage price gains in the Case-Shiller Home Price Index for several months and telling bearish investors to forget the past and go right back to the same assumptions that caused the real estate crises in the first place.   To support their theory, they simply …
