Looking for a new home can be stressful at the best of times but with scams on the rise it is becoming even more so for many buying a home or seeking a rental. The latest report from the Consumer Federation of America reveals real estate complaints breaking into the top ten for the first time, with many other related issues making up the bulk of the list.

How can you profit from the new real estate boom without becoming a victim of it? We may still be in the initial recovery phase at the start of a new upward real estate cycle and the best growth may still be to come but how can you safely invest in real estate whether it is just a new residence, a multifamily apartment building or a portfolio of rentals and avoid getting caught out like so many when the last bubble burst?

Want to have home buyers drooling over your home listings? While the availability of bank owned REOs has been shrinking and their prices rising others selling a home or real estate agents and investors attempting to sell many homes still need to strive to make their properties stand out if they want them to sell fast and for top dollar.

Yes there are still a good number of foreclosures happening but the housing market is showing a lot of improvement but some still want you to freak you out and spread fear of weakness in the economy.

Is this a good time to become a real estate agent or is there a better option? Becoming a licensed real estate agent can be an attractive and exciting proposition. We all here how “overpaid” they are, it looks so easy and with so many fewer Realtors from Connecticut to San Diego and the market picking up it does appear to be an appealing to jump on the boat.

San Diego remains one of the most popular U.S. cities for real estate investing and buying a home but what is really going on in the local market and how are things shaping up for buyers, sellers and investors.

What’s working for the pros that can help Connecticut real estate owners sell or even rent their properties faster and for more money?

Is it time real estate investors untied in boycotting bank owned REOs?

Do you know which cities boast the fastest selling homes? While bank owned REOs are flying of the shelves in hours and are creating fiercer battles than is expected over the new iPhone 5 other parts of the country still have homes sitting on the market from 2005.

Do you have to register yourself as a business to get started in real estate investing? You certainly don’t have to have an office to get started in real estate investing and you’ll actually find you can begin with a lot less than most anticipate.
