Most people are running scared. You have seen the headlines

   - Worst Crisis Since the 1930’s
   - Dow dives 777 points, biggest single day fall ever, as House rejects  
      financial bailout package
   - US to Take Over AIG in $85 Billion Bailout
   - Central Banks Inject Cash as Credit Dries Up
   - US Government seizes control of mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie
      Mac

And, of course:

Headlines like these are creating wide-spread panic. Losses of 40-50% of the principle in our sacred retirement accounts have caused many people to pull their money out of their investments entirely. Dollars invested in the market provide for a nauseating roller coaster ride. The idea of a safe and stable return seems foreign to us.

But, there IS an alternate view.

Do you think there are people out there positioning themselves now to generate serious wealth in this very volatile economy? During the Great Depression, were there individuals who knew how to shape their business to make fortunes? Absolutely!

As legendary billionaire investor Warren Buffet said:

“We simply attempt to be fearful when others are greedy and to be greedy only when others are fearful.”

This is a critical time in the real estate market. We have been inundated with bad news about the slump in the real estate market. Houses are not selling, lending is tightening, and everyone is scared. The simple fact is that Americans need shelter. If they cannot buy, they become renters.

The flip side of all the bad news is that buying houses has never been better, rental rates are on the rise, and commercial lenders are still willing to lend to qualified borrowers (those with good credit scores and income).

We are in the trough of the real estate downturn. No one knows exactly when we have or will hit the exact bottom. However, prices are starting to stabilize, especially in the "bread & butter" houses in the Chicago suburbs. The next 12 months will present opportunities that we likely will not see again in our lifetime. As experienced investors know, if you wait until the world recognizes a bottom in any market, the opportunity is no longer there. . If we don’t act now, the opportunity will not be there later.

We have so many houses available that we don’t know what to do with them all. So, we figured why not make them available to an inner circle of qualified investors. The problem – most investors don’t have the time, expertise or system in place to take advantage of these bargains.
