IT'S A GREAT TIME TO INVEST IN REAL ESTATE!
This is an absolutely great time to be investing in real estate! With the nearly record-setting low interest rates and the relatively stable prices of homes, one can find some really great opportunities for making a real estate investment.
Some of the advantages to owning investment real estate rather than other kinds of investments include the deductibility of the interest on mortgage loans. Thus, the investor is able to increase their equity in the property (renters will pay down the mortgage amount) while simultaneously reducing their tax liability. Also, the value of real estate increases over time, the amount of properties available is limited, and there will always be a demand for real estate. Use of a 1031 exchange when you sell an investment property can defer the taxable income.

There are a lot of people out there right now looking for investment properties, as they realize that now is a great time to build up their investment portfolios.
