Dont make the mistake that Cash4Clunkers(tm) was about stimulus, that is only how it was sold to a braindead public. We’ve been sold many costly things over the past year under the guise of stimulus – few if any targeted specifically at improving our economic situation (just look at the line items in the last big stimulus bill). C4C was a federal version of long standing state programs to destroy older cars and replace them with high-mileage cars. Nobody gave a crap about US stimulus, hence the non-accidental absence of a domestic-only provision in the program.

We all know that “Andy Paul” is a RE shill, but it bears repeating that the WORST time to buy a home is when interest rates are at their LOWEST because when interest rates rise (inevitable), that same house becomes LESS affordable to the next potential buyer, thus limiting the home’s potential to appreciate. Plus, buying when interest rates are higher affords the buyer the opportunity to refinance when rates go down.

Currently, interest rates are lower than they have been in some time. If you are thinking of buying a home, now is certainly the time to do so. A recent market report reflects that U.S. property has become an increasingly more attractive opportunity for home buyers and investors. U.S. property values in many areas are at an all time low thus causing much upside potential. Knowing where not to buy a home is as important as are the dos and don’ts of buying a home. There is a tool which can erase all the confusion related to home buying. It’s a tool which Identifies properties with the most value, establishes the right price range to pay, projects long-term cash flow and appreciation & assesses how to maximize after-tax returns.
