Real Estate Investment - Money Well Spent?

Some might be inclined to think that real estate investment isn't a viable opportunity anymore. After all, with property prices declining so rapidly, spending a huge amount of money on real estate just seems ludicrous. However, if you have proven experience and knowledge of the property market then there is no reason why you cant indulge in real estate investment. However, in these tense times, dabbling with this sort of investment is not advisable. Leave it to the professionals and then you don't have to worry about making a bad purchase.

The same applies to property renovations. If you don't understand how this business works, avoid it altogether at the moment. It wont be money well spent if you make a loss on the property you have just bought, even after renovating it.

I think any sort of real estate investment is risky business at the moment, so until property values level out again, i don't think many people will be splashing the cash.
