How has the market changed for wholesaling real estate in 2012 and what lies ahead for the next year?

Have we really found the bottom of the housing market, are the best gains already gone and is this really a smart time to get in to flipping houses?

The Housing Turnaround & Resurgence of Real Estate as an Investment

2012 was definitely the year which most will mark down as the turnaround point for the U.S. housing market.

Some select markets may have begun their upswing back in 2011 but this year saw the recovery really catch on and begin to spread.

This in turn has seen real estate return to being considered the best investment sector by all, including stock and bond experts who have turned bearish on their respective returns and point to real estate as the top performer.

What’s In Store for Real Estate Investing in 2013?

Wholesaling real estate in 2012 has certainly been incredibly profitable for many investors and most are expecting a significant uptick in business between now and the end of the year following a surge in new construction, the 2012 presidential election, looming short sale deadlines and year-end bonuses.
