Dear ________,
Are you in a wait-and-see mode about buying a new home? Famed Money Manager Peter Lynch has some good advice, "Ignore the headlines." In a recent article in <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.activatemail.com/amail/redir.cgi?msgID=7394&UID=161897&URL=www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,1713483,00.html">Time Magazine</a>, Lynch reaffirmed to the author his view "that homeownership should be your first investment, since an owner-occupied home is nearly always profitable." In fact, the article points out that waiting may not be a very good decision at all.</p>
