Investing in Real Estate? Are you asking the Right Questions?

If you were to advise a friend, family member, client or just someone you didn't know who was considering buying an investment property, what is the top question you would advise them to ask themselves before making the investment.
For Example: What is the goal you are trying to achieve? or Do you have the financial resources? or How much debt load are you comfortable with? or Do you know the steps in purchasing an Investment Property? ... ...
I am very interested to hear what you all think! I have 99 Questions that I believe are very good ones that will be published very soon with a short guide on how to answer each question... Let me know if you are interested in a copy and I'll let you know how to get one once production starts!
Have a great day!!!

New Home Starts in Sacramento - Do we really NEED them?

Seems to me that part of the housing problems facing the market today originated from overzealous builders partnered with more than "aggressive" lender types. What do you think? A high percentage of the bank owned properties on the market today have been built in the recent past and purchased from Builders using their "preferred" lender. For my money, the government may want to be more careful than in the past when issueing building permits for new homes... Just my perspective.
