We have a bias here at Redfish Emerging Markets - we tend to search diligently to find the positive or the potential in a situation.  Sometimes finding the positive details or the exciting potential is easy, sometimes you need to do a little (or a lot) of “treasure hunting”.  Rarely you can’t find something positive to say no matter how hard you try. 

We firmly believe we’re (in the USA) in a time of almost unlimited potential for the savvy real estate investor to ethically and efficiently multiply their returns in mulifamily and single family real estate investments - there are changes that have occured (and are occuring) in the markets around the nation that are astounding and “changing the rules” a bit.   As we pen this note today - there are markets around the country that are tanking, lots are neither hot nor cold (but could slide into trouble) - but there are some markets that are really soaring beyond expectation.   Those are the markets that you need to be exploring and investing in.

So how can Redfish Emerging Markets help you be a better real estate investor, and find those markets that are healthy and vital right now?

Here’s four ways:

1.  Our blog will provide a constantly updating stream of emerging market information from around the country.  We will be posting data in at least 71 different categories, including state by state updates of news and happenings that will significantly influence real estate activity in communities.  Best of all its free.  We’ll outline more of what’s coming in our blog in a later post.

2.  We plan to offer several helpful Free Resources to keep you up to date, including summary reports of changes in state employment growth and unemployment updated monthly.  After looking at several different mathmatical models, we’ve chosen to use 6 month rolling averages of employment growth and unemployment to track where job growth is strong and unemployment favorable.  Other resources include our Primers on Real estate Market Cycles and Emerging Markets - feel free to print them and use them as you see fit.

3.  In the next several weeks we’ll have our report data center set up, offering detailed reports for given markets around the country, updated every quarter, and targeting either multifamily or single family asset classes.  Our proprietary ranking / scoring system will help you take a detailed look at a given market, and address its suitability for your investing.  We’ll have approximately 175 different market / community reports available by 1 April  2008.  We think you’ll find the reports indispensable tools priced very reasonably.

4.  Perhaps our most interesting and exciting tools are our newsletters - Redfish Emerging Markets’ Multifamily Emerging Market Newsletter, and Redfish Emerging Markets’ Single Family Newsletter.  Our newsletters will be the vehicle through which we share the results of our analytics of our emerging market research database.  As we’ve shared before - we’re tracking over 180 datapoints in about 200 markets around the country, and have constructed a proprietary database that allows us to manipulate, analyze, and rank the data in very creative and interesting ways.   Our first montly Multifamily Emering Market newsletter will be published 15 March 2008, and the first monthly Single Family Emerging Market newsletter will be published on 15 April 2008.  We’ll have a lot more to say about these great tools as they come on line. 

Look around, and see how we can help you today.
