The leading market benchmark dropped roughly 40 percent so it would have been typical for your stock funds to drop like that too. But if you went through the downturn without hearing from your adviser that’s a different matter.

The portal which relaunched in January after undergoing a redesign lets users narrow their search by investment goal: A property that’s likely to generate the most cash in the short term one with the most equity or one that will pay for itself the quickest. Listings also can be limited to just bank-owned homes and newly built properties among others. In August the site will be adding short sales or homes that could sell for less than the amount owed on the mortgage. InvestorLoft requires users register but is free. Listings include photos and essential property details.
