There are two types of true real estate investors: Rent Savers and Cashflow Investors. These two groups will enter a real estate market without regard to future appreciation because either the cash savings or the positive cashflow warrant the purchase price of the asset. These people are largely immune to the emotional pratfalls of speculators because the value of the investment to them is not dependent upon a profit to be garnered when the asset is sold. They will hold the asset through any price declines because they are not feeling any pain when prices drop. Since these investors will purchase houses even if prices are declining, they are the ones who move in to create a bottom and end the cycle of declining prices.
In a declining market, a market where by definition there is more must-sell inventory than there are buyers to absorb it, it takes an influx of new buyers to restore balance. Since it is foolish to buy with the expectation of appreciation in a declining market, the buyers who were frantically bidding up the values of properties in the rally are notably absent from the market. With the exception of the occasional knife-catcher, these potential buyers simply do not buy. This absence of buyers perpetuates the decline once it starts. Add to that the inevitable foreclosures in a price decline, and the result is an unending downward spiral. It takes Rent Savers and Cashflow Investors entering the market to provide support, break the cycle and create a bottom.
Rent Savers are buyers who enter the market when it is less expensive to own than to rent. It does not matter to these people what houses will trade for in the market in the future. They are not buying with fantasies of appreciation. They just know they are saving money over renting, and that is good enough for them. Cashflow Investors have a different agenda; they want to turn a monthly profit from ownership. For them, the cost of ownership must be less than prevailing rent for them to make a return on their equity investment. Cashflow Investors form a durable bottom. If prices drop low enough for this group to get into the market, the influx of investment capital can be extraordinary.
As many new gardeners quickly discover, there are two kinds of insects which you may find in your garden. The first are chewing insects that eat holes in the leaves of your plants. These pests include caterpillars, grasshoppers, beetles, snails, slugs, and earwigs. The second type is sucking insects that feed on your garden by pushing their mouths into the plant tissue and sucking out the juices. This type of insect includes aphids, scales, while flies, and mites. You may assume that sucking insects are tiny (like aphids, for example) and chewing insects large (like caterpillars), but this is not always true. There are many examples of small chewing insects and large sucking bugs. If you find leaves on your plants that are rolled and twisted out of their normal shape, you can expect to find caterpillars. Some species of caterpillar roll the leaves, and when you unroll the leaf you can expect to find a small green caterpillar inside. Some types of aphids also hide inside rolled leaves. If youre not sure if its an aphid, look for a soft, nearly transparent body, large abdomen, and six legs. If the leaves of your plants develop transparent sections or trails, leaf miner has probably invaded your garden. This insect tunnels inside the leaves, just under the surface. If you hold a leaf to the light, youll be able to see the trails. On the other hand, if the trails are on the top of the leaf, you probably have slugs. Depending on the type of insect, you may find bugs on the stems, on the flowers, on the leaves, or hiding underneath the leaves. Be sure to look over all parts of your plants carefully if you suspect insect or . Insects can hide from view, making it hard to figure out what is damaging your plants. Of course, if you want to make your houseplant healthy again, youll need to find the bugs and get rid of them. There are many kinds of garden pests that attack your plant in different ways. Many of these are difficult to get rid of once you have them. If you want to get rid of pests like these, youll need to blast your plants with a heavy spray of water. They can hide in unexpected places on your plants, so use a very strong spray of water to get them all. For some bugs, including aphids, youll need to treat the plant with chemicals as well.
