Commercial Real Estate Foreclosures in Austin Texas Create Investment Opportunity

March 10, 2010 - PRLog -- “Our phones are ringing again,” said Leslie H. Cox, president of Central Texas Commercial Real Estate Advisors.  For the past two years investors have patiently waited on the sidelines.  Now with banks taking back thousands of properties per month in foreclosure the investors are back.  Groups of investors have been putting private investment funds together in anticipation of the buying opportunities created by the downturn in our economy. Many economists believe we have hit bottom and now could be the best time to get back into the commercial real estate market.  http://www.ctcra.com

Multifamily properties are already in great demand.  Everyone is looking for a great deal.  The flood gates have not opened yet.  We are seeing a small trickle in product coming to market at reduced prices.  With pressure on the banks from regulators, many more properties should come to market in 2010 and 2011.  There is plenty of cash on the sidelines just waiting.  For those investors that think they can put a deal under contract and then go out and find the money, they will be sorely disappointed.  Most sellers will require proof of funds prior to going under contract, especially for the deeply discounted deals.  

The combination of low interest rates, discounted prices and the increasing cost of new construction create a fantastic and exciting investment opportunity.  The vast majority of wealthy people in America created their wealth through real estate investments.  In spite of the recent downturn, real estate continues to be the best hedges against inflation.  The key to investing in real estate is to buy low and sell high.  This may sound simple, but many wait unit real estate is red hot and reaching the peak of the market before they get in.  That is the time to be a seller not a buyer.  Take a look back over the past 100 years and you will see a cycle approximately every 10 years.
