From the Inside Flap:

Whether you are a first time buyer or already own your home, ARE YOU MISSING THE REAL ESTATE BOOM? brings welcome news. David Lereah, chief economist for the National Association of Realtors, shows why the real estate market is poised to climb higher over the next decade -- and explains what you can do to profit from it.

Calling today's market a "once-in-every-other generation opportunity," Lereah shows property owners and would-be buyers the enormous investment opportunities that exist in real estate. Today's boom is not just driven by low interest rates -- there are a host of demographic reasons that show why real estate will continue to outpace other investment opportunities, from the growing needs of the baby boomer generation to the new ways real estate is marketed and sold.

Are you a first-time buyer? Looking to trade up? There has never been a better time to do so. Lereah explains what to look for when buying a home; which improvements add the most value to your current home; what to consider for when purchasing rental properties; how to evaluate REITS; and discusses the pros and cons of second homes. Full of insider information and advice (including how to analyze local markets and regional fluctuations), ARE YOU MISSING THE REAL ESTATE BOOM? brings readers the information they need to invest with confidence and reap outsized rewards.
