[Fredslist] Real Estate 101: Now Is The Time To Buy Promo

[JADLER115 at aol.com]

It was so refreshing to hear something positive about real estate  when I was 
listening to CNN the other day.  The host of the show  actually said that if 
you have any money, money in a piggy bank.....now is  the time to invest.   
Below is part of an article from the  Association of Foreign Investors.....so I 
ask....if they can invest here,  why can't we?  If you would like the entire 
article I would be happy  to send it to you.
 
International investors  continue to broaden their allocation of investment 
funds around the world  and have adopted innovative strategies to more easily 
acquire real estate  within the most competitive markets. While the US remained 
the most dominant single market  for investment, India ranked highly as a 
place  for capital appreciation. And while the US is  perceived to be a difficult 
place to acquire real estate, the number of  respondents who say it is “very 
difficult” has decreased for the past  three years. The 15th annual AFIRE 
Investor’s Survey reflects the  attitudes of the members of the Association of 
Foreign Investors in Real  Estate (AFIRE) who collectively own $600 billion of 
real estate globally  and $185 billion in the US.   
“The results of this year’s  survey manifest the most global viewpoint our 
members have ever  expressed,” said Mark Preston, president of Grosvenor UK and 
Ireland,  and AFIRE’s newly elected chairman. “The US remains  the strongest 
and safest conduit for cross-border real estate capital, by  a substantial 
margin, 63%. But it is clear that our members are taking  advantage of some of 
the opportunities inherent in emerging markets.”   
Global  Viewpoint
London remained the top  global city for foreign investors for the second 
year in a row. For the  first time, New York City was ranked as  number two and 
supplanted Washington, DC in that spot. The re-emergence of  New York City 
became the theme of the AFIRE  2007 Winter Conference in February entitled, New 
York City: Five  Years After. Washington, DC fell to fourth place behind Paris. 
The cities of  Munich, Stockholm and Moscow made strong showings this year by  
moving up the rankings in significant leaps.
