Buying property can definitely be a very lucrative investment. However, before you decide on buying and selling real estate, you have to have a good understanding of the markets. In other words, if you are looking to buy so that you can sell down the road to make a profit on your real estate, then you are better off achieving this when the housing market is slow, as there is less demand for buying houses, thus forcing sellers to lower their prices. This in turn will allow you to get a home at the lowest price possible, and then being able to sell it at a higher price once the markets begin to move again.
Of course, investing in real estate is not only about the current conditions of the housing market. In addition, you also have to look at other factors such as the location the real estate will be in, the condition of the real estate, and the reason why the owner is looking to sell. In the end, buying and selling real estate carries the same risks as any other type of investment, and the only way to avoid these risks is through proper research. More importantly, you will be spending a good amount of money on real estate compared to other types of investments, and so you want to make sure that your money is well spent. By keeping these valuable points in mind, you will be able to find the right property to invest in.

Did you literally put a new roof over your head in 2011? You may be eligible for a $500 energy tax credit for the roof replacement on your 2011 return.
To claim the $500 credit, file IRS Form 5695 you’ll need to know the facts. Here are the requirements as outlined by HouseLogic.
Tax credit limits and deadlines:
- 10% of expenditures, up to $500 for the year, for all energy improvements combined.
- A relevant roof must have been installed by Dec. 31, 2011.
- Save receipts and labels.
- For roofs, installation isn’t covered.
- See Energy Star for guidelines on what exactly is covered. It’s your safest bet for information on how to get the credit.
- Be warned that not all roofs, not even all roofs with the Energy Star seal, will qualify. Only specially manufactured roofs, as listed on the Energy Star site, are eligible.
- Don’t rely solely on contractors who may not know the details or who promise their products will get the credit in order to make a sale.
- As of January 2012, the feds haven’t extended the energy tax credit for roofs beyond 2011.
