I get two things of substance right away: (1) Congratulations to all of you out there who work and\/or invest in the real estate market. Things are really beginning to look up (after falling from a cliff, getting up, assessing our injuries, and then shuffling, wounded and aimless, through the forest\u2014only occasionally to glimpse something that might be a road or a home, but ultimately to find that it was simply an illusion), and (2) I don\u2019t advise people on what sectors they should be putting their money into, nor in what proportions, but I suspect that the trends indicated by these two hard hitting articles (all in the same day, no less) might just might persuade some people to move a portion of their investment portfolio from the stock market to the real estate market&#8211;either in the form of direct real estate holdings, as trust deeds secured by real estate, or otherwise perhaps as a share in a real estate pool or a REIT.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Clay (clay@privatemoneysource.com, 503-476-2909 or 800-971-1858)<\/p>\n<p><em>Clay is Vice President of Fairfield Financial, a primary source                        for private money loans since 1964.\u00a0 Fairfield works      with  a        broad       range     of private money investors, in  a     broker      capacity,     finding,         underwriting,    presenting,    closing,      servicing, and    when   necessary,          assisting in    the  workout  of     difficult loans.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Clay Sparkman I got this upbeat article as a special alert on my smart phone this week.
