New Years 2010 and Real Estate!

Well, a new year, a new decade is around the corner.  I am sitting here on my patio, watching my breath evaporate across the air as the sun is rising.  The birds are starting their morning concert; three humming birds just did a “fly by” and I felt their vibration . . . literally and figuratively.

As we stand at the precipice of a new year, I am excited about its prospects. While many see the financial crisis and war continuing to hold our economy back, and perhaps stall the real estate market longer, I turn to the exciting possibilities for growth as individuals this year.

The past 8 out of 10 years saw amazing financial growth for many real estate investors and real estate owners.  Yet overall, we have slipped in taking care of ourselves both physically and intellectually.  I remember seeing a Rolls Royce at a McDonalds drive thru window and thinking to myself how strange that picture looked.  Money cannot buy good health and intelligence.

I see it more and more, we drive exotic cars yet use cheap fuel for our bodies and minds.  In real estate, time is on our side and while we have a roof over our heads, why not treat ourselves in a healthy manner while our investment grows? 

Good eating habits help our minds make sound decisions.  2010 will bring many good investment opportunities due to the release of more foreclosures and bank owned properties and this real estate market will not skyrocket in the next 3 years.  This is actually a good thing because we can all get back to a good sound plan to make ourselves better thru reading more good books, watching less television, taking more long walks thru nature and working on our own personal growth and let the real estate investments simmer.

Happy New Year to everyone and may you make sounds decisions that will bear lush fruit for years to come!
