How our economic situation affects home owners

I ran across this interesting article about how the Economic reality shifts thinking on homeownership. It made several great points about our current situation and the American dream about owning a home. Basically, times have changed. People are staying in their homes for longer before trying to sell them. Others are choosing to rent for longer, even when they could afford to buy.
This little tidbit caught my eye: "Legions of homeowners remain underwater on their mortgages or unable to move because they can’t sell their house." Also from the article "a recent report from Morgan Stanley found that the U.S. homeownership rate has fallen below 60 percent when delinquent borrowers are excluded, a sign of the country’s move toward a 'rentership society.'"

We can manage your property, find a quality tenant who will care for your property, and you can hold your house until you are able to sell it, and possibly make a profit in the meantime!
