Falling as a prey to scammers will cost you probably thousands of dollars or more. So make sure that before you buy or sell properties through a real estate investor, you have to practice due diligence to make sure that you are indeed working with a professional whom you can trust. Visit your local BBB (Better Business Bureau) or do online research (by typing the name of the investor) to be sure.
There are plenty of real estate investors that are offering good investment deals. They can save your home from foreclosure, or even teach you how to be a successful investor. All that you need to do is to ensure that you are working with a person owning a solid track record and appropriate credentials.

The biggest real estate investing scam is from con artists who will lure you into a great wealth promise if you will invest in foreclosure homes. These shady investors will claim that they will be able to teach you how you can pick up some distressed properties for half of the market value. However, you have to give them several hundred dollars if you want to learn the “trade secrets.”
Others will even attempt to lead you to the right path by promising that you will receive a list of foreclosure homes. They will charge you a large sum for this list. However, you can actually locate these properties for free by going to your County Recorder’s Office.

There are infomercial gurus late at night that will teach you “secrets” and show you how to purchase a home without money down. This is another real estate investing scam since there are no more properties that offer zero down payments. If you purchase an investment course that is already outdated, it will do nothing but plunge you further in debt.
If you want real estate investing courses, you can get them for free or for a small nominal fee on some private investor or realtor websites. You can also find them in the video section of a local library for free!

Be careful of investors who are offering to purchase your home. It might appear that they are helping you to stop foreclosure, but they only prey on homeowners who are already distressed. They will promise you that they will solve your financial problems but they will turn out to be scam artists.
If you are now facing foreclosure, remember that there are a lot of legitimate investors that can really solve your problem. One of the differences between a scam artist and an honest investor is this: true investors will never send you unsolicited letters or e-mails. Another thing is that they will not phone you to ask for business. To seek legitimate investors, it is best to get referrals from co-workers, friends, or family.

The success of a Thai island named Phuket led another island, Koh Samui, to emerge as a second top property for short-term investments. This is according to the 2008 research of David Stanley Redfern.

According to David Stanley Redfern research, the Philippines is the number one property hotspot destination for short-term investment considering the other countries in the region as a guide. It is expected to grow in value by 20-25% every year.
The real estate growth in the Philippines is fuelled by cheap manufacturing goods and office towers, affordable work-force, and the massive growth in its industry and business sectors. Retail chains are coming into the country to take advantage of the increasing population. Big corporations also tend to relocate top management into this country, and incoming executives will be always looking for a rented quality accommodation.

Because real estate tends to be fairly stable, it has been viewed as a very solid investment for many reasons. But this decade, it is the other way around.
To be able to understand real estate market in this 21st century, you will need to maintain an objective, critical perspective. The values and the rate of home are dropping but soon the market is going to recover. If you are a homeowner, and you want to foreclose or short sell your home because you owe more than your house is worth, you are making a terrible mistake because when the market rebounds, your house will appreciate to be worth more than what you owe.
