Want a Recovery? Look after the Investors!

I came across an excellent article on Yahoo today that brings up the all-important real estate investor and his role in a potential real estate recovery. I couldn't agree more with what the writer, Bob Hunt, says. Go ahead and read the entire article to see if this makes sense. He brings up a valid point in that most sales today are in the lower range of prices. If there were some way to attract not just the homeowners but the investors into the real estate market, the scene might look very different a few years from today.

Unfortunately real estate investors don't get the respect they deserve. We seem to be lumped in with "real estate developers" and "big business" or "those rich people that kill small business." Most real estate investors I know are middle-class hardworking people that just want to save enough for retirement. Maybe we need an image overhaul!
