Remember Real Estate cycles tend to be regionally based. Real Estate is always driven by economic principles of supply and demand. Some areas of country, like Seattle, are going gangbusters, and real estate values are going sky high, and other areas like parts of northeast are not increasing by same percentage. However almost all areas are going up in value. Historically, property values increase in a strong job market. Other factors to think about include; program funding, interest rates, population growth, climate, and user-friendly state and local governments, including school system changes. These are critical points to consider when investing in real estate, either as a landlord or for personal use.

The key to successful real estate investing is to understand what drives market. Stay on top of what is going on in your market place. Research internet, read articles, get involved with your community. One other key to staying at top of your game is to get a mentor or coach to help you succeed in your real estate investing career. If coaching is good enough for sports figures like Tiger Woods, why not you?

To sum it up, Real Estate bubbles don't exist, but there is a real estate wave. As any surfer knows, if you want to ride waves, you need to get in water. Watching action can be fun, but will it put any money in your pocket? Invest with intention of providing a service for others, and you can become rich investing in Real Estate.
