I'm recommending my investors invest in property. The rental market is strong and stronger in certain areas. I know the areas if you want to send me an email. My reasoning for this rental surge is simple, if foreclosures are at an all time high, where are these people living? Are they moving back with mom and dad? Or are they renting?

About Emmet Acebedo:
I was born and raised in Long Beach, Ca. I moved to Arizona twelve years ago, to flee the overpriced housing market and to get more serious about school. After graduating from DeVry University Phoenix with an Electronic Degree I went to work for a French owned High Frequency Component Company. 5 years later and plenty of frequent flyer miles, I wanted to work at a place with a little less foreign politics. I decided I could focus my energy toward Real Estate. I was raised around parents that bought and sold real estate just about every two years. As I noticed early on in real estate it seemed easy to buy and sell with out representation and contracts were 1 page. As the years went on I noticed the apprehension and continuing uneasiness my parents had through represented buyers and sellers. I felt I needed to do something about it, now my parent have someone that they can count on and trust and that makes me happy. Since moving to Scottsdale, Arizona and missing the surf and sand that is 5 hours away.
