    As I write this, we are starting to see signs of softening in the real estate market. Particularly in some of the hotter real estate markets around the country. The problem with timing the real estate market is the same as trying to time the stock market. By the time it is clear that the trend has changed, it is too late.

    Now is a good time to take a look at your current real estate situation and prepare to make some adjustments if necessary.

    The first thing you must do is determine your true reason for owning your house. Do you intend to pay it off and live out the rest of your life in your current home, or are you looking to sell your house at retirement and use the proceeds as part of your retirement income?

    If you intend to pay off the mortgage and continue living in your home, then you do not have to worry as much about house price fluctuation. After all, your house is your home and you intend to continue living there for the foreseeable future. House prices declining by 20-30% over the next few years isn't really a concern.

    If you are looking at your current home as a part of your investment portfolio, then you have to be concerned about any softening in the market. If you are within five years of retirement you should be very concerned. Your house's value has probably peaked and maybe starting to fall depending on what part of the country you currently live.

    To maximize your return, now may be the time to sell. If you have owned and lived in your present home for at least two of the last five years, you may qualif

    Entrepreneurs Just Get Better With Age
    Q: I'm thinking about starting a business after I retire next month. I'll be 65. Am I too old to start a business? -- Milton A.A: Milton, congratulations on your pending retirement. I find it admirable that after many years of hard work you are thinking about starting a business. While most men your age would be content to sit on the porch and watch the world go by, you are considering a ride on the entrepreneurial roller coaster. You're certainly tall enough to ride this ride, but are you too old?Here's my standard answer: It depends

    To maximize your return, now may be the time to sell. If you have owned and lived in your present home for at least two of the last five years, you may qualify for a one-time $250,000 exemption. The exemption increases to $500,000 for couples. If you have that kind of equity in your home, that would really help the old retirement plan by providing another source of retirement income.

    So, what do you do after you have sold your home. The most common excuse I hear is, "You have to live somewhere and it's going to cost money to buy another home." All true, however, who says you must buy another home, especially in the current market environment where prices could drop?

    You don't. There is a way in which you rent your next home, take none of the risks associated with ownership and still benefit if house goes up in value. It is known as the lease-purchase. Let's say you have sold your home and you find a home offered for sale by a person who has been transferred out of state, or maybe they have just been downsized out of a job. This person is desperate for a quick sale. Let's say that the house is valued at $200,000.

    If you were to purchase this home, you would probably have to come up with 20% down plus some closing costs or somewhere in the $40,000 to $45,000 range. The monthly payment on the balance, $200,000, would be in the area of $1,400 to $1,600. Now, you can certainly affo
