So as a Real Estate Investor how do you deal with a falling market? In part one of ten strategies for surviving in a slow real estate market you will learn about the downturn.

Understand that loses in the real estate market on home values are pure fiction. No I am not saying your investments are not worth less money than they were. However, what I am saying is that you do not realize any loss in value unless you sell the property. 

Therefore, key #1 is to ride the downturn or stated simple "Don’t Sell!" 

Thats right is you hold onto the property until values come back you will never experience a loss. So look at your whole situation and if possible don’t sell.

If you look at the last 100 years of real estate values you will see that there have been ups and downs but overall value always goes up over the long haul. So be in real estate for the long haul. Despite how troubling the current market is, it will turn around. So wait for the turn around if possible. 

The last thing I want to address with this is fear. If you own 10 homes now and they are rented out. Its easy when one goes vacant to panic and thing the market is catching up with you. I have seen many sell at this stage. Don’t! Don’t let fear take over. Vacancies are normal and people have to have a place to live. Its actually easier now than ever to find tenants. So stay the course and find a new tenant. Remember, as long as you hold the property you don’t realize a paper loss!
