You hear it all the time “Real Estate historically has been one of the best investments there is”. But let’s face it they are not making any more land and if you are buying in many resort areas across the country most of the prime tracts of land have been bought and developed.

In many areas of the country “real estate investors” are having a difficult time. But what many people don’t understand is that the people who bought in the last few years were not real “investors”. They were people with decent credit scores looking to get rich quick!

This drove an enormous boom across the country, where prices went up like crazy. Myrtle Beach real estate was right in the middle of all of this.

If you bought during this time chances are you are upside down on your mortgage by 25 to 30%.

But if you would have bought just 5 years ago, you would actually have a POSITIVE amount of equity and probably have a positive cash flow if you were renting it out.

Now prices are down, but the good thing about it is, buying property even ocean front Myrtle Beach Condos make plenty of sense right now. The lower purchase prices have made many properties available that you can rent out and they actually pay for themselves. You can actually buy properties that cash flow again.

Here is a Great Example of a Condo that Cash flows plus some. Coastal Villas 2br 2ba condo.

Now the positive thing about this property is it can 100% support itself! Of course it is smart to always have some cash reserves in case some unforeseen event happens, but this property at least has the potential to support itself. Even if it take the real estate market another 5 years to rebound you are still in great shape.
