I get the same response when talking to people when then find out I work in real estate. I have worked with several investors who are taking advantage of the current market conditions and purchasing fix-n-flip properties as well as 'cashflowing' rental properties. Your response to the person's comment about the flippers is 'right on'. I don't think most people understand the need for flippers in today's market. As you stated, there are many homes out there that are in deplorable condition and will never qualify for FHA financing. The role the flipper is taking to rehab those homes and provide move-in ready condition properties is necessary for a quicker market recovery. Thank you for the great article Dru! …..

I believe you are right... there is a role for the 'flipper' and in fact it is actually the more traditional role 'flippers' have always played. All of our markets are different, but there at least is this beginning of a feeling that says the pain is not going to get worse. Oh, things still hurt... they just aren't hurting more. Can't predict the future, but the data is beginning to help lead to different conclusions. List accordingly. <abbr><em>Todd Tarson’s last blog post..<a href="http://mocoreal.blogspot.com/2009/03/saturday-guest-blog.html" rel="nofollow">Saturday Guest Blog...</a></abbr></em> Nice article.
