Market Conditions plus Home Grants Equal Golden Real Estate Opportunities
You may sometimes think that if you could just go back in time with what you know now, you could be rich from having taken advantage of what turned out to be great opportunities. Getting some Microsoft stock early on, buying a Jackson Pollack painting, purchasing a Brooklyn brownstone, and countless other opportunities could have had you sitting pretty today. Instead of playing the “what if” game, you may actually have the opportunity right now to get in on one of these purchases that will go up and up in value later on.

Each of us is just one person, and sometimes we can feel powerless against giant institutions, especially bodies of government.
