Press Release Summary: Flipping Homes May be Replaced with Long Term Fundamental
Investing

Press Release Body: Charlotte, NC - Two years ago real estate investing meant buying
a home for list price, hold it for two months and sell it for an outrageous profit.
The market has changed significantly, mainly because of the mortgage industry, over
the last twenty four months. Most "buy and flip" investors have exited the market
in droves. Left in the wake are real estate investors seeking more security and
fundamentals.

Michael Knight of Carolina Investment Properties was recently interviewed on Get
Real, The Real Estate Investing Show for the Rest of Us. The show focused on
understanding how new investors can enter this market. Mr. Knight stated that the
current real estate market may be the best time to buy real estate in the last 15
years.

Michael's focus has turned to mid-term buy and hold properties. He recommend
purchasing real estate that can be held for 3-5 years and have positive cash flow
over that period of time. This allows time for the market to improve and property
appreciation over that time. Just as importantly with the decrease in home sales
there has been an equal increase in people looking to rent a home. This real estate
investing strategy plays well into both the rental and mortgage markets.
