I think this will be the BEST opportunity in real estate EVER… It’s going to be really sad with all these folks (thousands of them) get BAD CREDIT for foreclosures and have no life savings and their pensions wiped out by the hedge funds… As my cousin always said," The numbers dont work" (do some of these folks do the math) These folks will need to restary anew & rent… Landlording (section 8/low income neighborhoods - cash flow bonanzas) will be the best bet in the coming years…Also real estate will fall to 1998 levels in the next 5-7 years in select markets…but prices nationwide will be down 30%… Just my 2 cents
P.s. not a lawyer or finance advisor… but prison stocks were great the last 10 years—phenomenal (hehe)…check the graphs on google and be blown away… with more forclosures u will have problem folks (drugs, booze etc) and dont forget problem illegal aliens,lots of crime coming too
