(1888PressRelease) December 15, 2010 - (New York, NY)-Many people are concerned about the real estate market right now, and one of the most popular questions is whether or not this is a good time to buy a home.
According to "Financial Times" and many other leading financial publications, real estate is the largest investment opportunity right now.
"Owning property is still the best and safest way to protect your financial future," says Steve Dexter, real estate expert and co-author of the new book "Buy & Hold Forever." There are many indications that real estate will do much better than any other financial investments, including the stock market."
In "Buy & Hold Forever," Mr. Dexter and David Schumacher reveal investment techniques that can work in the midst of a slow real estate market or a booming one, for first-time buyers or seasoned investors, and for buyers of single-family residences, apartment buildings or shopping malls.
"Dr. Schumacher built a $20 million fortune using his own savvy advice," says. Mr. Dexter. "His approach is to buy smart and never sell. You will never go wrong if you follow Dr. Schumacher's approach."
Many real estate experts recommend buying real estate now due to:
• Historically low property prices
• Record low mortgage rates
• Desperate sellers, which means more room for negotiating
• A large inventory from which to choose
• The homebuyer tax credit being extended until September 2010
"People look for good investment opportunities all the time. I believe real estate is, was and will forever be the best investment that any person can make. And now is the time to buy," says Mr. Dexter.
