Most of us reading this will never see a better time to buy a home or homes. OK, that’s the bottom line up front (I remember my Army effective writing skills lessons well!! Get right to the point!).
Interest rates, while rising at the time of this writing, are still at historical lows. The economy is struggling and the government is offering an $8000 incentive for first time homebuyers (defined as anyone who has not owned a home in the last 3 years). They know what we know — revitalizing the housing market is the key to jump starting the economy. The market is flooded with homes that sellers need to sell.
In a lot of ways we paralyze ourselves into inaction in times like these.. your mind goes crazy with all these “what if’s.” The thing is that’s the same mind that will ask you 20 years from now why you didn’t buy…if only I’da bought a couple of homes back in the crash of 2007-20xx!!!
What are you waiting for? Turn off the TV, stop listening to the gloom and doom from the media, find a realtor and get out there and BUY. In my humble opinion, the media does a tremendous disservice during times like these by reporting the gloom and doom. If all you hear is about how all these people are losing their jobs, you start fearing losing your job. You think you need this fear so that you can stay safe, but nothing could be further from the truth. The Law of Attraction says basically that you will attract into your life what you think about. Today, it’s more commonly stated that ”you get what you focus on.” So, if you sit around worrying about losing your job, guess what? Conversely, if you learn to think prosperity thoughts, you will attract prosperity into your life. So, I recommend my approach — don’t listen to the gloom and doom. Turn the TV off. If something happens that you really need to know, don’t worry; someone will tell you.
The truth is that opportunity is always EVERYWHERE. There are ALWAYS two sides to the coin. A job loss in one location creates an opportunity somewhere else. A person that loses job X is freed up for opportunity Y. For there to be bad there HAS to be good. Otherwise there would be no such thing… You think that people get wealthy when times are good during the “booms”. The truth is the wealth builders are joyously working OVERTIME right now. While the general public is watching the news, lamenting the decline of the stock market and fearing job loss, the wealth builders are out shopping. That’s because the WHOLE COUNTRY is on sale — it’s not just real estate. And, you make your money when you buy, not when you sell.
You can too. If the concept of building wealth is a bit much for you right now, start small — simply go out and buy a home that will appreciate in value and provide a great place to live and a sizeable chunk of cash when you sell in the future. Take part in fixing the economy by putting money into circulation and attracting the abundance that you are entitled to IF you take action…
