I'm From the Government, and I'm Here to Help

As we see the housing in some cities start to recover, we also see many cities lagging behind.

Here’s the article:

If you’re investing for appreciation potential, you may want to invest in those areas that are on the rise. If you’re investing for cash flow or wholesaling, you may want to look at the areas where the prices are still low and the supply of foreclosures are high. You’ll see that most of the areas with high foreclosure rates right now are those where the government has gotten involved and delayed the recovery.

Here’s the pull-quote:

Several cities including Baltimore and Hagerstown, Md. are lagging in the recovery in large part because those states require court involvement in the foreclosure process, which takes longer.

One way of predicting what is going to happen in a certain market is the level of government regulation. Little or no regulation usually leads to a quick recovery. Heavy regulation normally leads to a slow, painful recovery.
