PICKING A

FUTURE WINNER

It is a w«n known axiom that location k one of the most important elements in property value. Let’s take that one step ftirther. An even better boy, would be an investment of a sound property in a so-so area that will INCREASE in value in the itature. Buying into an area that k strongly on the comeback trail k one way to do thk and shorten the success odds.

In an ana of thk kind, trend k everything. The trick k not to get in so early that you are one of the eerUeet pioneers but early enough that there is stOl plenty of appreciation left. Being an early pioneer k fine if you are a gambler possessed with lots of patience. It’s safer, though, to buy into such an area AFTER the restoration trend k unmiatakenly established.

A neighborhood that’s a good candidate for restoration must have an intrinsic location advantage: say, next to a prestigious area or in a good walk-towork location. It must also have good bask houses. Perhaps we can help you find Just such a location for your future winner.
