The market is still low and more and more investors are jumping into real estate as a long term investment.  Purchasing bank owned properties at these low prices are really paying off for investors.  Most of the time, investors think of a good investment as a property that they can put 25% down on a property and rent it out with positive cash flow.  Right now, you can purchase properties and get pretty good cash flow on them with 25% down.  However, it is hard to purchase these properties with loans.  So, the best strategy is to purchase these homes cash, and then refinance those 6 months after purchasing them.  This way you are competitive when trying to purchase from the banks and yet you are still able to get the loan on the property down the road.  Being that we are pretty close to the bottom of the market, hold these homes for a couple years and you will see some pretty big gains on your investment.
