Wholesale Real Estate Investing

Posted on May 16, 2009 - Filed Under Real Estate | Leave a Comment

The decision to invest in real estate can be scary and exciting at the same time. So many people fear what might happen to their investment in the event of a downturn in the market, but there are other investors who know the secret to profiting from real estate no matter what the market is doing. They know the secret of wholesale real estate investing.

What Is Wholesale Real Estate?

Wholesale real estate is the term generally used for purchasing property at a price that is much lower than the actual market value. While there are several ways to accomplish this, perhaps the easiest is to source homes in foreclosure.

Properties in foreclosure are owned by sellers who simply wish to get out of the credit nightmare they’re facing. This can often mean they just want to sell their home for enough money to cover the outstanding mortgage on the property. In many cases this can lead them to selling their property for far less than the market value.

How Do I Find Wholesale Real Estate To Invest In?

You’ve made up your mind you’re going to make some income with that cash pool you have. If this is the case, you may want to consider investing in real estate.

The first step as a personal real estate investor (aside from assembling the funds) is to find the right people to deal with. Real estate is a perilous industry fraught with people who aim to maximize their own profit from any deal. And they will do this even if it means ripping you off.

Real Estate Investment Team Building

Posted on May 13, 2009 - Filed Under Real Estate | 2 Comments

I didn’t understand the concept of a real estate team at first, so I had a difficult time with real estate investment. I tended to be a “lone wolf,” trying to do too much myself. I have since learned that in real estate, you need a team of people you can trust and rely on. Here are some possible team members, and what they need to bring to the table to be on the team.

1. A mortgage broker or banker. A broker can offer many options, but a banker can make the loan decision. They each have their advantages, and you could use both on your team. In either case it’s important they understand what your goals are (fast closings, lower interest, corporate loans?)

2. An accountant or bookkeeper. To keep proper books for real estate investment, it is getting more complicated with all the tax-law changes that occur. Find someone that understands the law, and understands what you want to accomplish.

3. A real estate attorney. Find someone familiar with the laws and legal customs of your area, and that has experience with the type of deals you do. (If you are buying rentals, she should be familiar with doing evictions, for example.)

Trash Out Scottsdale

Posted on May 11, 2009 - Filed Under Real Estate | 1 Comment

Imagine a place dotted with pale white desert willows and cactus flowers. Sky-high are jagged red rock mountains, framed by a piercing blue sky. This scene seems close to perfection. Then one comes upon the Marlboro cigarette wrappers and empty Budweiser bottles thrown carelessly on the ground. This is an unfathomable dichotomy, yet has become more and more common for this particular place. This place is the State of Arizona, rapidly losing its natural beauty due to those unconcerned with maintaining its purity and appearance.

Trailer size and waste disposal units are to be taken into account when checking price with the different trash removal companies. Some dump trailers come as large as 19 cubic yards! Before paying or hiring a trash removal company, make sure they provide you with a bid.

The veterans will not explain this strategy to you so pay attention. I will explain how to cash in on real estate.

The problem isn’t the market or real estate investing in general. The problem is using the wrong strategy and not understanding market cycles and adjusting to them accordingly.

You might be thinking that the batter can’t hit your fastball, so for your second pitch, you throw the same fastball right down the middle and the batter swings and misses again.

Now your’re starting to think you can do nothing wrong, so for your third pitch, you throw the same fastball right down the middle and the batter knocks it out of the ballpark for a home run. What did you do wrong?

If you have spent any time trying to find REOs you realize how challenging it can be to find quality deals or quality information. The brick wall that most investors are faced with when searching for REOs often causes them to resort to alternative marketing efforts.

It isn’t usually received that way though unfortunately.

Even better, we wouldn’t have any of that wasteful marketing effort that have been your only solution until now.
