 Bob FriedmanNiagara Falls Real Estate Attorney
Real estate investment used to be called "safe as houses".
Unfortunately this isn't the case anymore - and the recent crisis in the housing market has pushed a variety of new legal issues to the forefront.
In the past, real estate investors were interested in minimizing their capital gains tax liabilities, signing favorable finance agreements with lenders and taking on new tenants.
Today, many real estate inquires to my law firm are about non-payment of rent, forced evictions and foreclosure proceedings.
Despite recent events, it is not all bad news.

If you remove the issue of lack-of-credit, real-estate still is in a class by itself as an investment. And many think that today's market offers more opportunities than ever before, which is why some sectors of the market are buoyant.
It is also why I believe that today, you need to be more careful than ever when entering into a real estate transaction. The uncertainty in this real estate market means that smart decisions made now will pay-off handsomely in the future.
