subject: 4 Steps To Successful Real Estate Investment [print this page]


Real estate spending is always good and occasionally it is red hot. Once it is hot, dozens of real estate seminars set out rolling across the country and thousands of people invest thousands of dollars on education.

It is startling to learn that of all those thousands of interested people who attend these seminars, only about 5 % pay for even one investment house. The real estate gurus sell the "sizzle" and make benefiting from real estate sound easy. The true is that it is basic, but not something easy.

Here is a rapid plan that will facilitate anyone to set out building financial independence. There are 4 steps to spending in single-family homes:

1. Pay for homes below full market value. Yes, people truly do sell homes for less than the home's full value. The secret is to comprehend that most homeowners will only consider a pay for offer that is all money and within 5% to 10% of their asking price.

The thriving investor learns to find financially distressed homeowners who have no decision but to sell for less than market value. They have lost their job or been by surprise transferred; they are divorcing; they been living beyond their income; the family has been overwhelmed with medical fees and, not commonly nowadays, their cash has gone to support a drug pattern. Those are examples of motivated sellers. They have to sell and they will accept something other than a typical, all money offer.

2. How do you find motivated sellers? You work at it! Like any business, it is crucial to develop slightly marketing blueprint. One that is basic, yet very effective, is the one that was proven 75 years ago by the Fuller Brush company; door to door sales.

You are offering your capacity as a homebuyer to people who must sell. You are there when they require you and you have the capacity to help them solve at least part of their trouble. With door-to-door prospecting, you will learn more and pay for more homes faster than any other technique. However, most people just will not walk door to door for 3 or 4 hours per week. All right, there are other ways.

You can watch public notices for the announcement of foreclosure sales. Meeting with a homeowner right after they have received a notice that they are getting ready to lose their home allows you to get involved with a very motivated seller. Other public notices that provide purchasing opportunities include probate, divorce and financial ruin. You can go after the listings in your local newspaper or Internet site.

You can telephone the names found out in these notices or, and this is the least time consuming, send a postcard expressing your interest in purchasing their property. It will produce purchasing opportunities, just not as many as personal contacts.

3. After you have found out a motivated seller, you must comprehend how to frame offers that provide benefits for both you and for the homeowner. A good real estate investor rapidly learns that this is not a business of stealing property, but of solving problems in a manner, that benefits the seller.

The homeowner is in a tight spot of a few kinds and you can save them from public embarrassment and, on many cases, give them at least slightly cash to get a new embark. No investor can afford to leave money in every deal. No one but Bill Gates has that much available money. You must use creative formulas like, leases, possibility and taking through mortgage payments. Little or no money is requiring for those deals. You can find heaps of reasonable priced educational material on those subjects in bookstores or on EBay.

4. You make your profit when you buy! Never commit a purchase until you have carefully determined exactly how you will get to your profit. If you hold it as a long-term investment, will the monthly rental revenue more than cover the monthly mortgage payment? Will you sell the deal to another investor for quick cash? Will you do a few fix up and sell the property for full value? Will you rapidly trade it for a more desirable property? Have a blueprint before you pay for.

There you have 4 steps that even a part time investor can implement in 3 to 4 hours per week. What is the missing ingredient? It is your determination and perseverance. If you will unfailingly go after the blueprint for some months, you will be well on your road to financial independence.
