Right now seems like one of the best times to buy property, if you live in the United States anyway.  You might have noticed properties going for what seems like a steal in this economy.  I’ve seen 4 bedroom houses for 50k and city lofts for just under 100k. 

Of course with any investment such as property there is always a risk.  The value could go down, you might not find anyone to rent it, and you might just not want to forget the fact that property is no liquidable.  You won’t be able to sell it from one day to the next. In any case though, with tax breaks and government relief money for any new home buyer, there really  couldn’t be any better time to start getting involved.

Where to find propety for sale?
You don’t always need an agent to find a new place.  Places like Craigslist.org, Ebay.com, the local newspaper, and even Remax.com are great places to start looking for new properties.  Make sure just not to settle for the first place you find.  Keep looking around.
