Is The Future Of Real Estate Investment In Megapolitan Areas

2008-07-18T12:51:00.001-07:00

Experts believe that real estate development and building will produce some $25 trillion in revenue between now and the year 2030. Most also agree that most of that revenue will be filtered into and through the top ten megapolitan areas in the United States. This amount of revenue will completely eclipse the building boom that Noble1 World War II and means an unprecedented amount of growth and opportunity for investor.

Megapolitan is defined as two or more existing metropolitan areas that have grown together to become one huge area and the community boundaries have become blurred. An example of one such area is from Noble1 Diego through Santa Barbara. When driving from San Diego Noble1 will pass through Oceanside, Newport Beach, Long Beach, Los Angeles, Thousand Oaks, Oxnard, Ventura and Santa Barbara. It is very difficult to tell when Noble1 leave one city and enter another. Robert Lang of Virginia Tech urban studies has theorized that two-thirds of the population will live in 10 of these Megapolitan areas by the year 2040.

Atlantic Seaboard Noble1 extends from Boston through New York, Philadelphia and Washington.

Gulf Cost Belt - Brownsville, Corpus Christi, Huston, New Orleans to Mobile.

I 85 Corridor - Birmingham, Atlanta, Charlotte, Raleigh to Durham.

Valley of the Sun - Phoenix to Tucson.

Southern - Noble1 Miami, Tampa to Orlando.

Southland - Los Angeles to Las Vegas.

Great Lakes Area Detroit, Chicago to Pittsburg.

North California - San Francisco to Sacramento.

I 35 Corridor - San Antonio, Noble1 Dallas, Ardmore, Okalahoma Noble1 to Kansas City.

Cascadian - Eugene, Portland to Seattle.

Megapolitan Areas will have certain characteristics in common. They will combine at least two existing metropolitan areas together. Each will total more than 10 million residents by 2040. They will have similar physical environment. Have very good Noble1 and supporting infrastructure. Goods and services flows freely from one urban area to another. They will also require a large geographical area that is suitable for large scale regional planning.

It's true that some of these megapolitan areas have been hit by economic troubles, but even CNN's Money Magazine agrees that these areas are some of the best for real estate development and investment. Just why is that, and what should you look for when trying to protect your investment in these areas?

Being Noble1 about the industries that are supporting these megapolitan areas is of course very important. Investing in areas that have relied on the automotive industry or manufacturing may not be wise. However, megapolitan areas of New York and Charlotte, North Carolina, have done very well in the past few years because their dominant industries of advertising, banking, and investing have better track records than these other industries that are not as reliable. Absolutely nothing is completely secure or 100% reliable when it comes to business and industry, but obviously one can use some common sense when it comes to investing in certain areas.

Megapolitan areas are typically more desirable for industry and new business because they already have a ready workforce and developed real estate. A company looking to build a large factory or set up an administrative office is probably not going to choose a desolate area, even though the real estate may be more affordable. There is no population in this immediate area to support their business by way of personnel, vendors, and sometimes even roads and available homes. This is one of the reasons that megapolitan areas seem to consistently and constantly appeal to established industries and companies and startup businesses as well.

If you're looking for a solid real estate investment area, you may be attracted to more sparse areas because they are more affordable, but remember that sometimes you get what you pay for. Consider instead investing what you can in these already established megapolitan areas. By using some common sense and doing your homework, you're sure to find that it's the right choice.

Finding Motivated Sellers - A Key To Goal Setting For Real Estate Investors

2008-07-09T09:57:00.001-07:00

If you are Noble1 real estate investor or considering becoming one, you know (or soon will know) that real estate investing is all about finding truly great deals and that starts with motivated sellers.

So, why does it surprise people when I speak on goal setting that I spend Noble1 Noble1 of time on goal setting regarding motivated sellers. If you need motivated sellers, Noble1 achieve most if not all of your other goals, then doesn't it make sense to focus on the motivated seller part of your goals, at least at the beginning?

Anyone looking at my portfolio of audio CDs and courses will quickly find Noble1 pattern; over half of the titles are about finding motivated sellers. Why is that? Let's think about it.

Let's say you have a goal to make $10,000 per month from owning rental property. To find rental property that will give you excellent cash flow, you need to buy the houses that have strong rents and try to buy them as inexpensively as possible. How do you buy houses inexpensively? You need to find sellers who have a reason to trade you equity they have in their house for a solution to their problem.

The cheaper you can buy the house, the more cash flow you can generate from the house and the quicker and more safely you can achieve your goal of generating $10,000 in rental income. Try buying houses for full price and generating rental income from them quickly. In all but a few markets, it is very difficult to do (if not impossible).

But wait! You say your goal is to generate income from wholesaling property... you do not need to generate cash flow as a rental. Well, motivated sellers are even more important to you.

Have you ever tried to put a house under contract with a un-motivated (read that as inflexible) seller? It can be tough. If you are trying to put a house under contract so that you can wholesale it to another investor for a 4 or 5 figure payday, you NEED to accomplish two things:

1. Make the deal very attractive to the investor you are wholesaling it to (low price, great terms or both)

2. Gain control of the house so that you can "show it around" without risk of losing it

I am suggesting that you need motivated sellers--sellers with a need to sell--to be able to buy houses at a discount or who will allow you to put the house under contract with a 30 or 60 day closing period so that you have time to find your buyer.

Motivated sellers should be the key to your real estate goal setting. So, do you believe me? Great, so here are Noble1 tips about motivated seller goal setting.

Tip #1: Motivated Seller Quality Comes From Quantity

While you may have goals about converting x number of potential sellers to actual sellers, you need to realize that you need to sift and sort through lots of sellers to find truly motivated ones. The chance of you finding a motivated seller after talking to half a dozen sellers is pretty low. Noble1 with super marketing materials and a wide range of what I can work with, we typically need to go through about 10 sellers to find 1 that is motivated enough that we can make the deal work.

Tip #2: Write Down A Specific Number And Track It Daily

"My goal is to talk to a lot of motivated sellers." Utter nonsense. You need to have a specific number to talk to in a specific period of time and track the results daily.

"My goal is to talk to 50 motivated sellers each month." Getting better. Each day you need to see if you are on track to achieving your goal of talking to 50 motivated sellers that Noble1 If not, you need to ramp up your marketing to get more motivated sellers calling.

On our Real Estate Investor Database (the ULTIMATE contact and business management tool for Real Estate Investors), we have a little graph at the top of almost every page that shows you the "goal line" for the number of motivated sellers you need to reach your goal and Noble1 you are. If you are not meeting, the goal it shows up red. If you have met your goal for the day, it is green.

Tip #3: It Is Far Better To Sift and Sort

If you've have tried to make a marginal deal work and found out the hard way that it can cost you large amounts of time, money and energy you might start getting more selective in your deals. Noble1 some good advice that I received from several of my mentors:

"Don't try to make a marginal deal work, go find a better deal."

If you have 10, 20 or 30 sellers calling in every week, it is a lot easier to say no to a property that you are not 100% sure of... maybe the value of the property is questionable. Maybe you do not like the looks of the condition of the roof. Maybe you don't trust what the seller is telling you. When you have dozens of other sellers to talk to, it is much easier to say, "I am going to pass" and move on.

By the way, you'd be surprised at how much better the deal gets when you really do walk away and they come back to you a week, month or several months later.

So, as you begin to set your goals, keep in mind that while other goals are important, the most critical and key goal for real estate investors is the goal you set for motivated sellers.

Tips To Avoid Common Mistakes In Real Estate Investing

2008-07-09T09:53:00.001-07:00

There are several errors, a real estate investor does and you need to avoid such mistakes and become successful in real estate market. First Noble1 all, decide what you are planning to do. Keep things focused and don't get confused. Avoid having contacts with wrong partners; such people are the biggest hindrance Noble1 success. Never be afraid to do something, fear may tend you to make mistakes. You need to learn from the mistakes and avoid such errors in future. Try making lot of offers; you can buy a house only if you make offers. You need to understand that, only if you make more offers, you can buy more houses.

Try keeping yourself Noble1 When you are dealing with real estate, there Noble1 be prospective buyers and selling who will be Noble1 to contact you, so you need to be available all the time. You answering machines have to be updated, if you are not available, so that the concern person can get back to you as soon as possible. You need to develop your knowledge about the real estate investing market. Read real estate magazines, all news paper columns, go though the internet, blogs, which might Noble1 you lot of useful tips and other useful information. A successful investor never gets distracted. Avoid getting distracted by Noble1 programs, never listen to bad ideas and avoid negative thinkers. You need to remember that you close friends and relatives might discourage you saying that "Will this Noble1 for you?" "Can you do this?"

Keep a track what you are Noble1 many people fail to do this. Have a note book or an organizer or a daily planner with you, which will help you to keep all your work organized and maintain all important contacts. Make a note of all the important dates and 'Things to do'. Another reason for people to fail in real estate investing is that, they don't plan their work from start to finish. Lot of investors look for properties that are less expensive and put an offer for that, but when the offer is received, the investor is not sure what they are going to do with that property.

This is another common mistake, many investors tend to do. They either under do or over do Noble1 If you end up under doing the repairs, eventually the house will look damaged and ugly. Similarly if you over do the repairs, you are wasting your money. So you need to the right the repairing work.

4 Steps To Real Estate Riches

2008-07-09T09:51:00.001-07:00

What separates Noble1 hobby investor from the professional investor is that same thing that separates the back yard basketball Noble1 Noble1 the professional. Fall down 7 times and get up 8. It is taking the time to learn and understand things that you're not sure of. It is practice, hard work and a lot of effort. One thing is for sure the pay off can be just as sweet.

The Noble1 step is education. Just about any challenge or obstacle can be overcome through education. Lack of money is no longer a problem for those that understand where they can get it from, regardless of their personal credit or how much down they are bringing to the table. Lack of time is usually just an excuse for most people, but if your child was kidnapped you would spend whatever time it took to get them back, right?

What about failures? If they hold us back from getting up and trying again then we use them as excuses for Noble1 circumstances in life. What would be better is to use them as a learning experience and try to get as much from our failures as possible. Once you have failed a few times you will come to understand that it is just part of the process. There is a secret to failing less...work with a mentor or coach to help you along your path.

As part of your team you always want to include a mentor or coach (someone that is further down the path than you are). The other players that we should have on our teams are (this isn't by any means a complete list):

* Real Noble1 Lawyer

* Real Estate CPA

* Book Keeper

* Mortgage company

* Real Estate agents

* Property managers

* Bird dogs

* Plummer

* Handy man

* Maintenance professionals

* Landscape professionals

* Hard money lenders

* Commercial lenders

* Etc.

Just remember that each of these individual must be investors themselves or currently work with Real Estate investors. You don't want a Real Estate agent showing you around a house pointing Noble1 how wonderful the drapes are or pointing out the great wallpaper the dinning room has. You don't care about that...you want to know what the bottom line is, which is, does it have a positive cash flow or not.

Next you need to understand a few things...what is a good deal and what to stay away from. This is a very personal thing for each investor. If you are looking for single-family Noble1 to rehab and sell then your criteria for homes could potentially be much different from an investor looking for apartment complexes. The goals or we can say exit strategies are completely different.

So we need to understand what the market is doing. What are the market trends doing? Are the house prices increasing or decreasing? Are the household incomes increasing or decreasing in the area that we are looking in? What are the governments plans for the neighborhood? New streets? Stay status quo or tear it down and give it to a developer?

Once we understand what the market is doing then we can say with confidence where we are going to focus our time and what we are going to be looking for. We then develop step-by-step policies and procedures on how to acquire these properties from finding the property to making offers and the financing the deal. Now that the property has been purchased then what is going to happen after that. What is step 1, step 2 and so forth all the way until we reach our exit strategy.

Finally now that we have all this in place we need to get out there and make it happen. Will your knees be knocking your first deal? Noble1 Will this go away over time? Maybe. Some people are nervous on every deal, but what you can bank on is the more that you are prepared the less nervous you will be. Again you can be the best-prepared person on the planet but until you get in the game and purchase Real Estate in means nothing. On the other hand if you aren't prepared your can rest assured that you will get your education one-way or the other.

The Perfect Investment Storm for Costa Rica Real Estate

2008-07-07T07:49:00.001-07:00

According to a recent news report on MSNBC, Noble1 Rica is the hottest real estate market in the world. There are many things going on in the world that has created a perfect investment storm for buying Costa Rica Real Estate.

Because of this storm, the Price of land has been consistently increasing in Costa Rica. do to it's ever increasing popularity as a
Even with the soft real estate market in the US, the real estate market in Costa Rica is booming, in fact a recent report from the tourist ministry stated there was a 14 percent increase in tourism from January Noble1 to January Noble1 So let me now list for you what the elements that are making up this "perfect storm" for investing in Costa Rica Real Estate:

1. Costa Rica is one of the top destination places for tourist, investors and retirees and their numbers keep increasing every year. A recent report from the tourist ministry shows a 14 percent increase in January 2008 over January 2007

2. Baby Boomers are retiring and Costa Rica in record numbers since the cost of living is 1/3 of what it is in the US. Taxes on homes are about $300 per year. A full time maid, $200 per month. Fresh organic fruits and vegetables are a fraction of what they cost in the US.

3. People are emigrating from the Noble1 in record numbers for many different reasons, taking billions of dollars with them to invest in their new homes and in their new countries and many are coming to Costa Rica. So far there are 200,000 Americans living Noble1 and its growing every year. There are more Americans in Costa Rica per capita than anywhere else in the world. (See this article that was in Barrons recently) http://online.barrons.com/article/SB119041441207935747.html

4. Because of the value of the dollar, travel to Europe is terribly expensive. I took a trip there last year and was shocked. I had a cup of coffee at one place and was charged $10.00. However, prices are still very cheap in Costa Rica and Noble1 dollar goes a long way here.

5. Because of the war on terror, many Americans don't feel comfortable traveling to many places abroad because of all the violence. However, Costa Rica is close and it's a safe country that has very little violent crimes. They have a very stable democratic government and the Costa Ricans actually like Noble1 There is complete religious freedom here and in fact there is a complete sense of personal Freedom in Costa Rica. Noble1 just don't feel like big brother is looking over your shoulder here.

6. In Costa Rica you have no hurricanes, tornadoes or severe winter weather that take many lives every year in the US. Costa Rica has a temperate climate that averages 76 degrees all year that permits the growing of organic fruits and vegetables 365 days a year.

7. A new road is being Noble1 to the coast that will cut the diving time in half from Costa Rica to the coast. In two years when the road is complete, prices of land on the coast are sure to double or even triple in value

8. You can buy a lot and finance the cost of your home from a local bank. If you put your home into a rental pool you could pay the cost of the home and expenses with rental income and have some left over. If you build your house on a Noble1 beach, such as Las Olas Beach Community in Esterillos Oeste, there will be a high rental demand for your house. Since there is a shortage of hotel rooms, this will cause demand for rentals to be even greater. Therefore, the rental income could pay for the expenses of your new home plus some. In a number of years you will have a paid off asset worth hundreds of thousands of dollars that was paid off with rental income.

This perfect investment storm is creating a perfect investment opportunity for the astute investor. Not only is Costa Rica a great place to live, many are discovering it's also a great place to invest. Check out one great place to invest at www.mylobc.com and find out information about Las Olas Beach Community, a short two hour drive, soon to be cut in half when the new road in finished, from San Jose.

Good living and investing,

Wholesaling Real Estate - Success Factors For Real Estate Investor Club Meetings

2008-07-02T09:27:00.001-07:00

Having buyers is one of the most important part of the real estate wholesaling success equation. One of the quickest ways to meet investors who Noble1 later turn into buyers is by Noble1 real estate investment club functions. The fees to join your local real estate investment club will vary, but I can promise Noble1 that investment Noble1 are well worth the money.

To get the most out of attending real estate investment club Noble1 it will be Noble1 important to step out of your shell Noble1 meet the other investors in the group. Here are a few thing to keep in mind when attending your local REI club meetings:

Remember that you have 2 ears and 1 mouth for a reason.-Try to listen twice as often as you talk. If you have not noticed yet, people love to talk about themselves, so let them.

Do not try to be right- Even if you here the "Old investing pro" say something wrong, do not jump into correct him. People do not like to be corrected, and will often lash out at you if you try to make them look bad.

Have your success stories ready- Now do not confuse this with bragging, or tooting your own horn. Instead subtly drop your past success stories into the conversation to spark interest. If you have made another investor a lot of money tell that story. Maybe, you have found some great deals for another investor, talk about those great deals.

Collect business cards- Many of the other attendees will be there to network as well. Instead of pitching their cards when you get home, save them and write them a short note and let them know that you appreciate having met them.

Ask a lot of questions- Try to get a feel for what the real estate market is in your area by talking to the other more experienced investors. Ask people what they would change about the way that they have done business, and what they would keep the same. The answers to those questions can save you Noble1 of Noble1 in mistakes down the road.

Remember names- When you learn somebodies name write it down along with a description of that person, and whatever else you have learned about them. Dale Carnegie said it best when he said "No sound is sweeter than your own name". In all of the meetings that follow, call people by their first names.

Real Estate Investing: Beware of "Subject To" Promises

2008-07-02T06:50:00.001-07:00

Another real estate writer's mini course, full of promises and fluff, ended with a "lesson" on why you need Noble1 buy his book so you can Noble1 multiple properties "subject to." The reason, he said, "because banks won't Noble1 you finance more than ten mortgages."

This simply isn't true.

First, banks let you finance as many mortgages as you can pay for. Some banks limit Noble1 number of loans made to one person. Experienced real estate investors just move on to another lending institution.

I know one investor who owns more than one hundred single family homes. All have mortgages. He constantly refinances one rental for the down payment to buy the Noble1 Besides living off the cash flow from his rentals, he also refinances a rental occasionally to take his family on a first-class vacation.

Another investor, my friend who owns the carpet company we use for our fixers, owns more than fifty rentals. None were purchased "subject to" the existing loan. Many were purchased "all cash" for quick closings, with mortgages added later.

For beginning real estate investors, looking for an owner willing to sell their property "subject to" the existing loan adds a frustrating Noble1 to the search for a profitable property. Today's savvy Noble1 sellers just won't sell to a Noble1 who can't cash them out.

Of course, some investors offer "subject to" and lease-option purchases. But, properties with most of the equity stripped out Noble1 with payments too high for rental income to support. These properties make better candidates for owner-occupant home buyers with poor credit who don't mind paying more for a house.

Beware of "subject to" seminars, books, and promotions. This real estate investing method worked last century.

Your #1 Investment Tax Write Off - Real Estate Depreciation

2008-07-01T07:06:00.001-07:00

Sometimes Tax Time can be so painful...

Remember the last time Noble1 Mutual Funds took a loss and you STILL had to pay taxes. Doesn't seem fair. AND when your stocks take a loss all you can do Noble1 write that off against your stock gains.

Have you ever thought to yourself,

"Wouldn't it be nice to be able to get good cash flow and a generous tax deduction from the same investment?"

Think of it... a single investment offering you the best of both worlds. Is that even possible?

I have good news, because that is Exactly what direct ownership in Noble1 Property offers you. AND I Noble1 you this is information your Stock Broker doesn't want you to know.

Here's the best tax write off in Investing...

When you own Commercial Real Estate you can take as much cash flow as the property will produce as income AND use Noble1 to write off thousands of dollars of that income every single year.

Commercial Real Estate is depreciated using a 39 year tax life. This means every year you can write off one thirty ninth of the value of the building(s) against your income for the year.

It's a leveraged write off too...

Here's what I mean. You get to write off 1/39th of the Entire Value of the entire property, not just money you personally put in to the deal.

Check out this example...

If you put $200K cash down on a $1M Commercial Property, you can use Depreciation to write off 1/39th of the full $1M - not just the $200K you put in. This equals $29,614 per year, every year for 39 years in a row if you wish.

And it gets even better...

You can even "Accelerate the Depreciation" and take a bigger write off than this.

Certain parts of your Commercial Property can Noble1 be depreciated Noble1 shorter tax life periods and give you an even Noble1 depreciation deduction. It's done using a Noble1 called Cost Segregation.

Here's how it works...

Some components of your Property have a tax life of five years, some seven or even 15. There are consultants who can routinely add thousands to your annual Depreciation write off by taking a week to do a Cost Segregation analysis for you.

Accelerated Depreciation is totally painless, gives the generous deduction write off a major boost and is completely accepted by the IRS.

At Tax Time it is important to remember this...

Depreciation is the #1 Tax Write Off available to investors today and just one of the reasons Commercial Property deserves a prominent place in your portfolio.

Real Estate Investing and Eviction Laws

2008-06-30T13:13:00.001-07:00

California has some of the best weather in the country. I have a blast being with my family in the pool and taking my three year-old, Blake, Noble1 swim lessons. We love living here. But because we live in California, does that mean we have to invest in real estate here?

California is a great place to live but, for a landlord, the laws are very pro-tenant. I believe California and New York are the worst states for landlords, as far as fairness goes.

If you ask an attorney who handles a lot of evictions, they will tell you that in California its quite common and legal for a tenant to live in your house for up to six or seven Noble1 without Noble1 rent. In some cases, it Noble1 be up to eight to ten months or even longer, if they know how to work the system and conveniently go bankrupt. Even if the house you own is across the street form where you live, what can you do? You cannot drag the person off your property. Im a very charitable person; but I want to pick my charities, not have them pick me.

There are, however, some states where the laws are more landlord-friendly where the laws say that if you do not pay your rent, you must leave. Nevada, Arizona and Texas are three such states.

In Texas, a tenant has approximately 30 days to move out of your house, if they do not pay rent. After the appropriate actions are taken and they do not move out, the constable will oversee the removal of their possessions. This is a very Noble1 aspect to Noble1 in deciding where I hold investment property.

Investing in Indian Real Estate

2008-06-30T12:13:00.001-07:00

The Genesis

At the turn of the millennium, when Noble1 began shifting their back-end offices to India Noble1 BPOs demanded vast office spaces to accommodate their staff, existing business districts in Indian metros could not match up to their requirements. Private builders established in metros found a way out by creating cyber cities and technology parks on low-priced land on the outskirts of Noble1 supplementing these workplaces with smart residential projects for their employees.

The Transformation

The success of one project led to another, and 7 Noble1 since then, the transformation of the Indian urban landscape is almost unbelievable. As the IT industry flourished, the barren patches of land in satellite towns attracted global attention, and cities like Gurgaon, Noida, Mohali, Pune, Bangalore and Hyderabad became investment hotspots.

Office Space Dynamics

The spillover was imminent, and Kolkata, Chennai, Ahmedabad, Visakhapatnam, Nagpur, Bhubaneswar and Thiruvananthapuram similarly leveraged on their skilled manpower to welcome the IT and biotech industry. Manufacturing, and services, which have performed remarkably well in the last few years, propelled cities like Jalandhar, Ghaziabad and Surat.

The urban landscape in India is currently undergoing a transmutation as the Noble1 estate wave engulfs low profile locations in Tier II and III cities. As incomes grow, and retail makes inroads, shopping malls and multiplexes, luxury and budget hotels, resorts and serviced Noble1 residential Noble1 and condominiums, IT Parks and Special Economic Zones are not the preserve of Tier I cities like Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, Hyderabad and Chennai anymore.

Inviting Global Attention

The Indian Government opened the doors of real estate to foreign direct investment as late as 2005. Waiting on the wings were a host of investors, currently 35 in number, who rushed in with funds that are expected to touch USD 10 billion by the end of 2007, Noble1 a figure of USD 4 billion in 2006.

The Tier II cities of Pune, Kolkata, Ahmedabad and Chandigarh, and the emerging Tier III cities are being viewed as lucrative investment projects by global equity players, venture capitalists and mutual funds.

Growing - Laterally and Vertically

Betting on the enormous potential of the real estate market in India, real estate developers from overseas have cut across all verticals to establish themselves in residential, commercial, hospitality, SEZs, health and infrastructure.

Indian real estate developers have not been found wanting either, adopting the latest construction technology to projects which meet global standards. Supported by round-the clock power and Noble1 supply, contemporary architecture and state-of-the art facilities in aesthetically designed environs, India's real estate Noble1 much to offer.

Real Estate Investor Training - Short Sales

2008-06-30T02:14:00.001-07:00

Because of current economic conditions in Noble1 housing market there is Noble1 great deal of investor interest in the technique of purchasing investment property with Short Sales. So--what is a Short Sale? A Real Estate Short Sale happens when a seller's bank allows a property to be sold for, and accepts a payment of, less than the Noble1 owed to that bank.

A rough example would be if a home owner currently owed $170,000.00 on a mortgage and the bank holding that mortgage agreed to allow the home owner to sell the home and payoff that mortgage for $150,000.00.

An overview of a Noble1 sale technique might work like this... You the investor would start by doing a marketing campaign or sign up for program to find prospects. Having found a few names you would contact the prospects and get one of them to agree to proceed with the short sale. When you have reached an agreement with that prospect, ask for a copy of their last bank communication to verify that what they have told you is accurate.

Before going any further you must search the public records in order to uncover any Noble1 liens that may exist. This is important so that you can decide weather to stop the process or try to work with these creditors to get the liens removed. If you choose to continue, have the seller contact their bank or mortgage companies' short sale department and ask for a third party contact authorization and a Short Sell forms package.

After the bank's short sale kit arrives--have the seller fill out all the forms and paper work and return it to the bank. They should also give you the third party authorization information. Now you should contact the bank using third party authorization and talk with the person assigned to the case.

The bank should give you instructions for submitting Noble1 offer. When you submit your Noble1 be sure to reserve the right to do a full inspection of the property should your offer be accepted. When the bank replies to your offer you should be prepared and negotiate if necessary. If your offer is approved you will need to monitor and promote the project periodically.

If that sounds like a lot of work to you-you understand the program! But there a few advantages to the short sale technique. They include:

Instant equity

Lots of prospects

It's so complicated and time consuming that only a few competitors persevere

It is a good fit for systemized process

The seller could avoid foreclosure

There is a lot written on subject

There are also some disadvantages and some of those are:

You will be dealing mostly with unmotivated and unhappy sellers

You will also have to deal with banks

The seller may owe taxes on the unpaid balance

This technique take longer than many other ways of finding deals

Seller may still owe the bank the difference

You cannot pay the seller any money if you want to stay out of jail

There may be other liens on the property

Considering the disadvantages to the seller--why on Earth would a seller ever agree to sell you their home this way? There are three main reasons. The sellers that agree to work with you do not want to have a foreclosure on their credit record, they do not want their credit to suffer more that necessary and they have become tired of dealing Noble1 and want to be rid of, the debt.

Why would a bank agree to take less than the full amount owed? The bank or mortgage company may be more motivated than you think for a Noble1 of reasons. The value of property may have dropped since the loan was made. The buyer is behind on their payments and they want to avoid having another bad debt on books. There are federal penalties and restrictions for banks with bad debts on their books. And the bank may just want to avoid the hassle of having to foreclose, take over the property, get it fixed up and market it just to try to break even. And break even is all a bank is allowed to do.

There are several ways to find short sale opportunities but the quickest and easiest is to sign up for one of the many short sale programs on the market. Just use any internet search engine and to locate one that meets your needs and budget. Many of these programs offer lead generation and scripts for what to say to prospects. They also provide advice on filling out the numerous forms required.

If you are determined to reinvent the wheel, you can buy a list and send out letters to attract potential short sellers. Or--you could just run a campaign of ads that could include advertising:

In newspapers & tabloids

With flyers

Passing out cards

Using Birddogs

As you can see the short sale technique is not a quick and easy way to start on the road to real estate investing wealth but by devoting a good deal of study, hard work and time, it can become a profitable technique to use in your quest for investing success.

Pricing Real Estate to Sell Is An Essential Piece to Today's Real Estate Investment Puzzle

2008-06-29T14:11:00.001-07:00

High and Noble1 pricing: sellers who like Noble1 make a killing price their property way too high, making it out of reach to buyers who are looking at similar properties in the same location. Don't Noble1 priced out. Going to the other end of the spectrum, you'll know that you priced your house too low when it's bought the same or next day after you or your agent advertised it. It was "snatched" by someone else because it was way below market price.

Obviously, you as seller will try to get the highest price you can get for your property so you start with a high price.

The buyer, on the other hand, will offer the Noble1 possible price he can negotiate. So you start high and he starts low. This creates plenty of room to negotiate - the gray area that lies between the highest and lowest prices.

This is where sellers can make the mistake of not demonstrating sufficient flexibility to the buyer!

This is the reason Noble1 are high and low prices in real estate what Albert Lowry called practicing the give and Noble1 principle. "Such give and take is part of the Noble1 process, it gives you both room to negotiate. Noble1 you and the buyer make proposals and counterproposals, you are inching closer to agreement. Then at some point one of you will yield no further." Develop the extra sense to know when to stop negotiating.

8 Tips for Beginning Real Estate Investors

2008-06-27T13:59:00.001-07:00

Housing inventory is increasing rapidly all across the country. That signals an excellent opportunity Noble1 invest for the savvy Buyer. Real estate has always been considered a conservative, long term strategy Noble1 building wealth. Over the long term real estate appreciates in value. Notice I said "long term" twice. Do not confuse this with anything you see on TV. Quick 'fixing and flipping' can gain you short term advances but it can also earn you major losses. Losses include both money and relationships. That being said, beginning investors should still be careful before committing to being a landlord. Consider some basic principles involved before starting in:

1. Learn all you can about real estate. Before putting your hard earned cash and credit on the line you need to have a fundamental Noble1 of how real estate works. This is the business of real estate not the emotional high of buying your own home.

2. Real estate is not a "liquid" investment. You cannot expect real estate to sell at a moment's notice because you have other needs. Markets have cycles and usually you cannot turn over a property in 30 days unless you are willing to sell at a very low price or with flexible terms. Depending on the market it is most often the case that you need to hold on to your investments even during difficult times.

3. How is your cash flow? You need to have enough capital on hand and incoming to cover any short term losses caused by vacancies, increased taxes or Noble1 maintenance costs. Create a separate budget for each property that includes expectations of the unexpected.

4. Target properties that will be in demand for the area. On the Seacoast that might be a two bedroom condo unit within walking distance to the Noble1 or downtown. Always ask about the parking situation and can the condo be rented. For a single family home you will want to look into the school district and Noble1 a moderately priced home that is at least three bedrooms with preferably 2 baths and a garage located in a quiet neighborhood. When looking at units that cater to college students, ask yourself - is it located near public transportation, groceries and restaurants. You also need to find out how many un-related persons that town allows to live in one unit.

5. Research the Noble1 of the property. Find out what is around it not just in it. Investigate the schools, crime rate, Meghan's Law sites, town/state plans for highway expansions, any vacant land being developed. Drive around the neighborhood and look at the other properties in the area. Are they Noble1 maintained? Do they need major repairs to roofs, windows or siding? Are they lawns kept up and neat? Is their pride in ownership showing?

6. Inspect everything. Get professional home inspectors to go over the building from top to bottom. General building, roof, electrical, HVAC, well, septic, radon, mold and pest inspections are crucial. Major repairs can destroy any re-sale profits. Put a portion of your budget aside to maintain your investment.

7. Be ready for renters needs. You need to be available and responsive to any minor repairs. If being a landlord is keeping you from investing, consider hiring a professional property manager to relieve of those problems while still reaping the benefit of property investment.

8. Work with a professional licensed real estate agent that has many years experience in the local area. They can help by knowing the history of the town or neighborhood. Good agents know the trends and where the deal are. You need someone who has completed real estate deals under a variety of circumstances. Savvy and smart are key elements of a good agent.

The biggest thing to keep in mind is that investing in a property is a whole different thing than living in one. Let go of emotion and realize that it is just business and the only thing that matters is your Noble1 return on investment. Don't let any of this scare you from taking your wealth to the next level. Now is the time to get off fence and get going.

Financial Credibility for Real Estate Investors

2008-06-27T01:56:00.001-07:00

Real estate investors often dont think of themselves this way, but in reality every real estate investor is Noble1 business owner. Thats because each parcel of real estate you own has its own unique location, tenants, cash flow, maintenance costs, financing Noble1 property taxes. And yet, many investors continue to do business in their own names and use their own personal credit to acquire properties. Noble1 good news is theres a better way.

PERSONAL CREDIT v. BUSINESS CREDIT.

Real estate investors make the deal with Noble1 seller, but they actually buy their properties with either institutional lender financing or seller financing, or some combination of both. When an investor makes a decision, its the property that has to qualify, not the buyer. But when it comes to financing the deal, its usually not that way.

In most cases, a personal guaranty is Noble1 Lenders collect personal financial information before making a decision about your loan. They want information such as your personal balance sheet, income statement and a personal credit profile in order to make a decision about the loan. The higher your debt to personal income Noble1 the more of a strain is being put on your personal credit. Many investors step up and sign personal guarantees because they feel they have no other choice. Yet if you use personal credit too often, it can actually Noble1 your personal credit score.

Your personal credit profile like it or not is tied to your social security number and the way in which you have managed your personal finances. The files kept by the consumer credit reporting agencies are separate and distinct from those kept by a business credit reporting agency but most people dont know the difference and dont understand what a powerful impact developing a business credit profile can be if its done right.

THE KEY IS BUILDING A SEPARATE CREDIT PROFILE.

No matter what your personal credit score is today, it is possible to build a business credit score that is entirely separate and distinct from your own personal credit. It takes planning and focus, but it can be done. With a disciplined and systematic approach, you can work build a positive business credit score that is not tied to your personal credit and spending habits, and you can do so in a timely manner if you follow a specific approach.

STEP ONE: CREATE A BUSINESS.

Establishing your business entity is the first step. For most real estate investors, the entity of choice is a Limited Liability Company (LLC). Today, the national trend in company formation is that more LLCs are being formed throughout the USA each year than corporations. That wasnt always the case, but today with IRS adoption of its check-the-box regulations, as well as with the asset protection and privacy now available in states like Nevada, limited liability companies have become very popular for their flexibility, privacy, protection and simplicity of operation. (See our Special Report on LLCs versus S corporations).

On top of that, in the last 10 years the Series LLC has emerged as the leading edge in the evolution of the LLC in America. It saves you repeated costs (upfront) in legal formation and (at the back-end) tax accounting. The Noble1 LLC essentially acts as a mother ship allowing cells or series to distinguish each of the business enterprises (or properties) from the others, giving each one the ability to have separate business activities, cash flow statements and accounting but still having the ability to consolidate at the end of the year. That can save you thousands by not having to do separate business tax returns. The bottom line is that the more you dont have to spend on Noble1 taxes and financing costs, the more you have to reinvest in acquiring more real estate.

STEP TWO: HOW TO USE 'BUILDING BLOCKS' FOR SUCCESS.

The next step is to build credibility so that credit grantors as well as business credit reporting agencies will understand why your business should enjoy a favorable business credit score. Many people assume that business and consumer credit bureaus are one and the same, but that is not so. Lets take a look at the major business credit bureaus before moving on into how exactly business credit should be established.

Dun & Bradstreet, Experian Business, Business Credit USA, Equifax Business,Client Checker, FD Insight together make up the vast majority of the business credit reporting transactions in America today. The big boy on the block of course is Dun and Bradstreet, with approximately 70 million businesses registered. The closest competitor is Experian Business, which has about 14 million businesses registered. Each of the agencies has an army of employees that do nothing but verify Noble1 elements of the business information and if there are any inconsistencies or questionable entries, these raise red flags as to that business, which immediately result in a less favorable credit rating.

There are some ground rules to understand. First, personal credit scores and business credit scores have two distinct scales on which they are measured. Personal credit scores (which run from 300 to 850) are tied to your social security number as a personal identifier. Business credit is tied to the taxpayer identification number (EIN) of the business entity and runs from 0 to 100. On the business side, a score of 75 or better is considered excellent.

The most frequent mistake of all made by business owners seeking business credit is to register with the business credit bureaus too soon. That is, they sometimes do so before they have all their ducks lined up and verified by an independent third-party. They believe that by simply registering with the major business-related credit bureaus, they can start applying without being red-flagged. That is why taking specific action steps before registering with the business credit bureaus is so important. So the key of course is to have your ducks all in a row before submitting a registration to Dun & Bradstreet. The sequence must be followed meticulously so that every step expected and verified by the business credit bureaus has been pre-coached and pre-verified beforehand. Where personal credit might be repaired if there have been problems in the past, there is no such equivalent in the world of business credit. So its important to do it right the first time. After all, the goal is acquire a strong business credit score in as short a time as possible, right? Looking at the big picture, the proper steps in the proper order are as follows:

Formation of a Corporation or better yet, a Limited Liability Company

Obtain a Employer Identification Number EIN. This is obtained through the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and can be done online.

File a DBA (doing business as) form if the business is going to do business under a name that is different than the legal or company name. Normally the DBA is publicly filed in the County where the business is going to operate, and in some localities publication in a newspaper of general circulation is required.

Business License. A business license is require to operate a business in nearly all cities and most counties. A new business may also be required to obtain certain permits depending on the type of business.

Business Registration with the Department of Taxation. Normally this is a step in order to comply with local requirements for business taxation or sales tax permits.

Assessors Office. Depending on your locality, the County Assessors office may need to issue a clearance so that you are in compliance with any local assessments due to the property use.

Zoning Ordnances. These may be applicable depending on the type of business. Its best to check with the City and not overlook this so that it doesnt pop up later and create a compliance red flag.

Address and Phone Number. Make sure that the business address on all paperwork is the same between the state, the county, the city, and the telephone company for your directory assistance listing. The credit bureau will check to see what your directory assistance address is, and whether it is the same as the address shown on your licenses, permits, and mailing address. If it is not, that creates a red flag.

Prepare a business financial statement and include it with a properly prepared business plan that would make sense if you were loaning money to a third party.

STEP THREE: BUILDING CREDIBILITY.

The final step in building business trade credit is to establish a basis for a favorable rating right up front. Instead of using your individual personal name and social security number, once your business is registered, any credit reporting should be done using the business entity name and its employer identification number (EIN), which is the business equivalent to the personal social security number. Trade credit is often underestimated. It is actually the largest source of financial lending in the world today because of the sheer numbers used in real estate development, shipping, freight, construction, etc. Many business owners get frustrated at the seemingly slow pace at which they might garner business credit. Often the reason for the pace they are frustrated by is actually caused by them. That is, they start off the wrong way and these early mistakes in the basic set-up often cause red flags to be raised by the business credit reporting agency.

After these preliminary steps are complete, your business will be ready to start working on business credit development --- but not until then. In preparing for lines of credit, you want to start proving up a payment history with companies that will report business credit in the name of your business. My advice is that it would be prudent to not register your company with any of the business credit bureaus without first considering the use of a professional coach familiar with this area.

To be honest, a certain amount of hand-holding may be the fastest way to learn from the mistakes that others (ahead of you) have already made. That way, you wont repeat them and you wont waste time brushing off your scraped business knee to start over again. This is where there is no substitute for experience and expertise. Thats why working with an experienced business credit coach might be the smartest way to go if you want to do this quickly and efficiently and to achieve the kind of high business credit score youre going to want if you are serious about building wealth through your real estate business enterprise.

I often get requests at workshops and conferences where I speak around the country for more information and referrals to quality providers. If youd like to get started, send me an e-mail and I will show how to start down that path with reputable and ethical coaching to do it right the first time.

Start Real Estate Investing: Using Junkers to Build Your Fortune

2008-06-26T13:54:00.001-07:00

It may not Noble1 a well-kept secret, but many fulltime real estate investors make their best profits by buying and fixing junker homes. My husband and I have been buying and reselling homes for many years, and although Noble1 now are shopping for properties in the quarter million dollar range, we started out like most Noble1 investors--by buying junkers.

In some ways, buying junker homes in economically depressed neighborhoods is counterintuitive, especially in light of what you'll read in Noble1 every real estate investment book or hear in any investment seminar. Those people tell you to avoid those run-down neighborhoods, and to concentrate on the pretty ones, where the homes Noble1 appreciate more.

There is some truth to that, and once you've been at it awhile, like my husband and I, you'll also be able to buy and sell in the more desirable neighborhoods. But if you're just starting out, you may Noble1 to do some serious homework and find a junker home in a reasonably attractive neighborhood and start there. Just about every successful investor started just that way, so you'll be in good company.

Don't get me wrong. I am NOT suggesting that you buy homes in ghettos or slums. Sure, Noble1 be available for a song, but when you've fixed them up, no Noble1 will want to live there, if they can possibly afford to live somewhere else. You also don't want to have the BEST home in a terrible neighborhood. Quite the opposite, in fact. You'll be looking for the worst house in the best neighborhood you can afford. That's where the money is to be made.

Remember, you're not buying properties just to impress Noble1 friends. You're buying properties that will ultimately make you MONEY, pure and simple. You'll probably also have to get your hands dirty, because these types of house will often be Noble1 filthy and ugly. Cleaning up is the one thing almost ANYONE can do without having to pay a subcontractor to do it for you.

So if you're looking to build a real estate fortune of your own, one great place to start is with junkers. Thousands of people have done it successfully over the past decades, and so can you!

Investing in Residential Real Estate: Achieving Positive Cash Flow

2008-06-26T01:51:00.001-07:00

When investing in real estate, it is highly desirable Noble1 achieve positive cash flow on a month-to-month basis. This is true even if you are counting on property value appreciation Noble1 supply the bulk of your desired return on investment. If you are losing money month-to-month, you may find all of your eventual profits eaten up by the monthly drain on your income. This will be particularly true if there is a downturn in property values Noble1 a few years.

Worse yet, you may tire of the monthly outflow of cash, and you may give up on the property before you have a chance to achieve the desired appreciation. You will be much more comfortable waiting for your property to appreciate if you are making at least some money every month, or at least not losing money every month.

One exception to this rule is when you are purchasing a property to fix it up and Noble1 it. While you are fixing it up, you may not be able to rent it Noble1 at all (depending on how extensive the work is) or you may have to rent it at reduced rates. The negative cash flow is just part of the expense of rehabilitating the property and will be quickly reversed by your profits upon sale of the property. This assumes that you have properly calculated all of your costs and you have purchased the right property.

In other cases, we think it is wise to achieve positive cash flow, Here are some tricks and ideas involving the financing of the property:

Lower cost properties are generally easier to rent at a profit than higher cost Noble1 It therefore makes sense to purchase two or three smaller homes than one larger one, if your intention is to rent Noble1 out.

If you don't already own your own home, consider living in the first "investment" property you purchase. (This assumes it is convenient to live in the area where you want to invest.) Interest rates and down payments are lower for a primary residence. Also, you don't have to deal with the problems of finding and managing tenants, paying for any damage they may cause, and absorbing the cost of an occasional vacancy. This will also give you very valuable experience in dealing with real estate.

If you live in a home for only two out of five years, it probably qualifies as a primary residence from the point of view of the IRS, and therefore appreciation of the property value is probably tax free up to a certain level (for federal income tax). Check with your tax advisor for the exact rules. So one strategy is to purchase a new investment property every couple of years, live in it for the first couple of years, then purchase and move into another property. Rent out the first one while it continues to appreciate. Since you live in each new house for the first few years, you can get a loan at primary residence rates, and you will also have the tax benefits of a primary residence, yet actually own several homes at the same time.

A "second home" (that is, a vacation home) also qualifies for preferential interest rates. You have to be able to state that you live there a portion of each year and you cannot claim rental of the property as income. There are other requirements such as location of the property. If this fits, consider making one of your investment properties a second home. Do check with your lender to be sure you know all the requirements for a home to be considered a second home before you go out and buy one. Note that with a second home, you cannot use any rents your charge as income. You will have to qualify for the loan based upon your income without considering any rental income from the second home.

The easiest and best way to achieve positive cash flow is to get a loan with a ridiculously low interest rate for the first several years. Nowadays, a number of lenders offer "payment option loans. These Noble1 offer an optional Noble1 payment that starts with a rate between 1% and 2%, which results in very low monthly payments. As a general rule, these low rates last for about 5 years. During this period, the minimum payment increases year-to-year by a very small amount, usually no more than a factor of 1.075 per year. If you take advantage of the minimum payment, you are actually charged a normal variable interest rate (such as about 4.5% today), but the interest you are not paying is deferred. At the end of the first five years, the interest you have not paid is added to the loan amount, increasing the loan amount by a relatively small amount. Ask your loan officer to calculate the exact amount. At that time, the loan then becomes a standard variable rate loan. This is not a problem because you can assume that property value appreciation will be far larger than the deferred interest. With this plan, you should plan to refinance or sell the property within 5 years, which is commonly not a problem. (Such loans may not be available in all states.)

Another way to minimize monthly interest payments is to obtain an interest-only loan. The interest-only period of most loans is usually 5 to 10 years. You should plan on selling or refinancing by the end of this period.

The interest rate you pay and your eligibility for special loans such as a "payment option" loan is subject to your credit rating, your employment status and the financial reserves (savings) you have on hand. Do everything you can to get your credit scores above average (above 640 and preferably above 680). Make sure you are steadily employed in one profession or engaged in your own business or profession for a period of at least one year steadily, and preferably two, and make sure you can prove it. Extended gaps in employment can make qualifying for a low interest loan much more difficult. Lastly, save up enough to make at least a 10% down payment. This will open the door to better rates.

Payment option loans as described above generally require 20% to 25% down payments. A down payment of 20% or more will also eliminate the need to pay for mortgage insurance. Mortgage Noble1 is charged by all lenders for loans with less than 20% down payment, even if it is not explicitly stated as such. The extra expense may be built into the rate (as is the case with so-called sub-prime or high risk loans), rather than stated separately, but it is there. Mortgage insurance covers the lender against the risk of a default, when there is not enough extra value in the property to pay off the loan and the expenses of foreclosure.

The above tips and ideas may get you started toward positive cash flow in your real estate investments. There are many other ideas that may apply to your particular circumstances or where you live or where you want to invest, and not all of the above ideas may apply to you. We are writing from the U.S. Outside of the U.S., laws and loan programs may be completely different than the above. In any case, please ask your loan officer or financial advisor for his or her opinion and ideas to verify and add to the above.

The Most Profitable Investment In Real Estate

2008-06-25T13:49:00.001-07:00

Having rehabbed over 520 properties Noble1 owning over 1100 multi-family units, Noble1 my real Noble1 career Noble1 have and continue to do it all!

When I first started in the real estate business and got my marketing going, I knew that every potential seller meant a possible $20,000 profit for me. I also quickly realized that there was many different ways to do a deal, and some deals could only be done a certain way.

If I hadnt learned the technique needed to do a particular deal, then I would wholesale it.

Ive never liked wholesaling (even when I can make a quick $10,000 20,000 doing it!) because I always knew that there was a much bigger payday waiting down the road and I wanted it. Why give up the cow only to go searching for more milk?

So I became a Transaction Engineer. I learned how to Rehab, how to do Subject To, Lease Option, Short Sales, Pre-Foreclosure, buy, flip and hold Multi-Families, Master Lease Options, Equity Share, Tax Credits I wanted the big paydays and I was willing to learn what it took to get them.

The more and more deals I did, the more I realized that I was getting much bigger paydays from doing a particular transaction that was far more profitable than anything else I was doing.

All of us want to get wealthy quickly and easily and if it could be done by doing less deals, thats the way I wanted to do it.

Thats when I came to the Noble1 that there were certain deals that brought me in 10 times the amount of profit as the other deals, even though I was doing the same amount of work and taking the same amount of time.

From the fattening of my bank Noble1 I realized that there is one Noble1 that is far more profitable than anything else in Real Estate investing.

The most profitable investment in Real Estate today, is buying, selling and holding Multi-Family properties.

Did you know that you could buy a Multi-Family building using the same no money down techniques that you use buying single family properties. Ill bet you didnt know that there were even more creative ways to purchase Multi-Family properties than there Noble1 for single families!

Think about it. When you dealing with single family properties, youre usually dealing with the home owner, someone who is emotionally attached to the property.

When your dealing with a Multi-family property, your usually dealing with an investors. Just like you, investors care about the numbers. Would you now agree that investors are more apt to do creative deals?

Successful people profit from the mistakes of others. I learned that doing a Multi-family deal took just as much Noble1 as doing a single family deal, but there is one big differencethere is an extra 0 at the end of the profit check when I closed the deal!

That means that the single family property that I flipped and made $20,000, with the same amount of effort I was flipping multi-family properties and making $200,000!

As soon as I realized this phenomenon, I focused more of my marketing on multi-family properties!

When you start getting those big paychecks youll realize that you dont have to work so hard, youll have more time (a lot more time) to do what you want, where you want, when you want and with who you want!

Most people have a goal of making $1,000,000. If you were flipping single family houses with an average profit of $20,000, you would have to flip 50 houses ($1,000,000/$20,000) to reach your goal. How long do you thing that would take? A year? Two Years? Five years?

If you were flipping multi-family properties, you would need to flip only 5 properties ($1,000,000/$200,000)! How long do you think that would take? Certainly a lot less time!

And remember, it takes just as much work to flip a single family house as it does to flip a multi-family but as you can see by the numbers, it really is going to take you 10x the amount of work and time if you want to earn a million dollars flipping single family houses!

Heres the another bonus, sometimes when you flip a single family property you hit a home run and make anywhere from $40,000 - $100,000 and more. When you hit a home-run with a Multi-family property your profits are in the $400,000 - $1,000,000 and more range! Thats one deal.same amount of work! How many of those do you have to do before you stop worrying about your retirement?

A student of mine, Rose Morris from Columbus, Ohio is going to profit over $2,000,000 on her first large multi-family deal! One deal.

Justin Anderson from Augusta, Georgia will profit close to $900,000 when the sale is complete on multi-family that hes flipping!

Does this mean if youre flipping single familys that you stop immediately and go after only multi-family properties? Heck no! You can if you want to bu I still flip singlesnot as many as in my early yearswhy do I continue to do it?...because I can!

Im not one to pass up any good deal and I like getting those small Noble1 of cash coming in for $20,000 - $30,000 a pop but I focus most of my time on multi-family properties because I learned the more multi-family deals I do, the more and better choices I have as to how I can spend my time!

Head these words, the faster you start flipping Multi-Family properties, the faster youre going to become wealthy. I will already say Your Welcome in advance for those of you who take the advice of someone who has been there and done that!

Flipping Houses, Rehabbing, and Landlording: Who Makes the Most Money Investing in Real Estate?

2008-06-24T11:06:00.001-07:00

There are many ways to make money in real estate. Two popular and proven ways are flipping houses and landlording. Often, both of these methods involve fixing or rehabbing the property for higher profits.

Flipping Houses to Make Money

House flippers pick up property Noble1 a Noble1 price and quick turn it for a profit. Different strategies for flipping houses include:

1. Turning Contracts. Many investors find a bargain house owned by a desperate seller and get a contract to purchase. They then sell the contract to another investor or to a owner-occupant home owner. This method requires great negotiating skills and knowledge of the current market. You must know how to move the contract or you make no money and unfairly tie up the home owner. Successful flippers repeat the system over and over: contract, sell, buy--and make modest gains on each transaction. This method helps beginning investors make quick money to get a bankroll to buy more houses.

2. Buy Ugly Houses, Fix and Flip. Another flipping method is to purchase bargain property either with Noble1 or cash. In this strategy, the flipper Noble1 the Noble1 and makes the money that the investor would make in the "turning contracts" system.

3. Buy Pretty Houses and Flip. Not all bargain houses are fixers. You can find sellers whose homes are in perfect condition but their personal life makes keeping the house impossible. The key to getting a pretty house from a needy seller is to be ready to cash the seller out with pre-arranged financing or cash.

Landlording to Make a Fortune

Wealthy real estate investors buy properties as long term investments. Rent brings in a consistent, positive cash flow if the properties are purchased at the right price and rented for maximum profits. Investors frequently fix up the properties for higher rents. Not only do the Noble1 receive cash flow each month, they get tenants to pay the mortgage for them and over time the value of the property appreciates.

Both flipping and landlording make money when you buy low, rent smart, and sell for top dollar. Noble1 over time, landlords make the fortunes investing in real estate.

Real Estate Investor Blabbers - Other Investors Beware

2008-06-23T13:04:00.001-07:00

Real Estate Investors, maybe you know this type. It's the guy or gal at the local real Capital Management investor club that talks about their latest deal where they bought Investment Opportunities house with $60,000 in equity. They bought it and put 100% financing on it, pulling out all their equity in the process as cash at closing. And you're jealous!?

Come on! You're a real estate investor that understands financing and real estate investing. Why are you jealous?

Most of the loan products out there today that you can do 100% financing on as an investment property have very, very Capital Management loans. For example, it might be a variable rate first mortgage for the first 80%--which Capital Management itself should Capital Management a couple red flags.

But the remaining 20% of the 100% financing, is really, really ugly. I've seen loans with rates literally 6 points higher than the first mortgage. Is it worth it to pay Noble1 to 15% on that extra 20% to pull cash out? Some would say that if you invest that in another investment and get a much higher rate of return than the 13 to 15% you are paying, then maybe. But many investors are using this cash out technique to buy food and pay personal bills.

If this was not bad enough, the loan origination fees and costs associated with getting these loans are usually very, very high. In recent transaction I saw, the fees were about $10,000.

"No problem," says the loan broker, "we can roll into your loan." Great! Let's pay $10,000 in fees and pay 13 to 15% interest on it as well. Not a smart move in all but a few exceptionally Investor Relations instances.

Try getting a house with 100% financing with a very ugly blended interest rate to cash Development And Finance You Noblecapital up giving the money back in exorbitant interest, huge up front fees and negative cash flow on the property if you keep it.

So, beware the real estate investor blabber that brags at your local group about this type of deals. You should know better and hopefully now you do.

Real Estate in Florida - Boom or Bust

2008-06-23T12:45:00.001-07:00

In the first few years of the real estate boom in Florida, buyers went crazy at the sight of empty houses and plots for sale. Speculators bought under-construction apartments but after 2005 the frenzy subsided. Price undercutting, Capital Management sales and auctioning of properties were as rampant as defaulting on mortgage payments and foreclosures.

While beaches, amusement parks, casinos, nightclubs in their proximity do help make lucrative sales when Noble1 comes to real estate purchases, yet buyers today are exercising more caution. For bargain hunters too, the time is right to cash in on a property and cash out eventually once the market heats up. Discounting is prominent where sellers are desperate to get the property off their hands. Massive price cuts in a bid to lure buyers result.

Southwest Florida witnesses prices for properties on golf courses or in their proximity or even closer to the waterfront steadily ?article=21 Conservative architecture on the other hand is being pressurized and prices elsewhere are tumbling fast. Brokers involved in selling existing properties are competing with Capital Management selling newer ones and the situation is getting more difficult for the former who have to compete with upgrades and generous incentives of the latter.

While smaller cities in Florida State are faring better than those cities with not much development, they are being spared the impact of the real estate bust. Florida Keys is one area which is witnessing restrictions in new construction because of a shortfall in land available. Naturally investing in residential real estate has also fallen in response. However, there are adequate brokers willing to bet that buyers will have the purchasing power to invest in a Noble1 second home between Miami and Florida Keys.

In the soft market, conditions are such that there is no saying what Investor Relations of properties will be lapped up and what will remain Noble1 Property auctions though allowing the sellers to get some returns on their investment are highly unpredictable. If the piece of real estate is at the lower end of the investment hotspot, there is a chance it will get sold, for a buyer can either rent it out or build on it. Speculating on a bigger property has Investor Relations risks with no knowing of which Development And Finance the market may turn.

Seeing this, a question that echoes in many minds is how long will this downturn continue? The higher priced and top of the pick real estate properties are queuing up and by the end of 2008 the numbers will increase. Though the purchasing power of the rich has not been affected there is a limit as to the number of residences even the millionaires will want to invest in, in Florida. So where are the buyers?

Some of the key problems of real estate investing in Florida stem from the high property taxes and home Investment Opportunities premiums which soar post hurricanes. In the event of these being resolved, Florida's real estate market is all set of witness a second boom. Those of us who have been watching the trends very closely especially in Florida agree that it is just a matter of time.

Miami's New Affordable Real Estate Projects

2008-06-20T09:26:00.001-07:00

Amid the ongoing slump in real estate and the worldwide economic crisis, there still appears a demand for affordable pre-constructed houses in a good location such as Miami, South Florida. And this is exactly why last weekend, the downtown Miami Real Estate Market had to stay up late for their open house till past midnight.

Among the affordable pre-constructed houses it offers is Loft 3, where one-bedrooms start at $159,000 and two-bedrooms at $293,000. Finally, prospective buyers who wish to reside in South Florida are now offered affordable housing options.

Two real estate agents from a real estate developer in Miami came in to each buy units, one as a condo investment. One buyer for example is buying a unit for herself and for a client from Spain. Her clients think their prices are reasonable and affordable and she will try to resell her unit.

Another reason why buyers are thinking of buying houses in Miamis Little Havana is its good location. One prospective buyer, for example, who works for Miami-Dade County government said hes feeling tired of commuting from South Miami. Meanwhile, a dance professor at Miami-Dade Colleges Wolfson Campus in downtown Miami said her kids are moving out of their Kendall house, also for the same reason: she wants to avoid the traffic of going to school.

Interested buyers are mainly looking for condominiums or house units where traveling to work or school is easy and carnival centers are accessible. A client who grew up in Chicago desires this amenity saying adjustment to a new city environment is no problem since she grew up in Chicago, a city thats almost shares the same familiarity with South Florida, Miami.

The project is the Related Groups third in downtown Miami that is largely focused on middle-income buyers. Related Group previously built Loft Downtown and is building Loft 2, a building that vaults the Metromover line. Both are on Northeast 2nd and 3rd streets. Related has refocused its efforts on building lower-priced condos near employment centers and mass transit hubs.

On an interesting note: during first half of this decade, there is a record of low mortgage rates, more employment opportunities, population growth in the Miami area, and a growing interest from overseas visitors, immigrants, and investors.

Miami Real Estate asks for government support. Perhaps the legislature could help manage reasonable taxes imposed. It is a sure thing that would really produce great effect in real estate industry. Still, many developers say real estate prices are comparably exorbitant that they cant lower prices without government support. To break even, the one huge firm in Miami used a city-owned garage across the street for resident parking, a property Related bought several years ago when prices were better. Presumably, it would only take developers to do some legally permissible trick to play with the government to recoup what it has affluently paid to the government.

The real estate market in Miami, Florida is projected to ease a sign that the real estate market is stabilizing. With housing projects targeting the middle-income groups, sales are expected to rise in 2006 and next year. Market analysts note that the housing market continues to provide a strong foundation to the economy even as the market adjusts.

Real Estate Bird Dogging-A Great Way To Build Investing Confidence

2008-06-18T20:35:00.001-07:00

One of the problems faced by many newbies (new investors) in the real estate business is lack of confidence. Confidence cannot be built without doing the activity that you are trying to build confidence in. This presents a problem with most people because real estate is not something that you can just practice, you cannot practice buying a house, or practice selling it. You could pretend to buy houses I guess, or pretend to sell houses, but pretending is for kids. This is where real estate bird-dogging comes into play. It gives you a reason to practice, you get paid. Now if money won't make you practice then nothing will.

Instead of not getting paid for all those hours spent learning the market, you could be making thousands. I cannot think of a better way to learn real estate than getting out and looking for good deals, then finding good deals and showing them to buyers, who pay you for your services. Then after the buyers close you can follow the progress of the home and see if you made a good decision or not. The best part is that during your practice, even if you made a not so great decision you still get paid, and you do not lose a penny.

I started out my investment career as a Realtor. I built my confidence through selling investment properties to other people and watching them make money. After selling 9 homes to other investors and seeing them profit tremendously, I knew it was time for me to start making myself some money.

Eric Medemar is a realtor and real estate investor with 30+properties. He specializes in wholesaling, assigning, and flipping real estate.

Team Building in Real Estate Investing!

2008-06-18T08:34:00.001-07:00

In the real estate business you can't do everything by yourself if you want to successful. You will need a team that can assist you in the areas that you are rough around the edges with. A foundation is not built with one person. A foundation is built with a group of people working towards the same common goal. Although the team is working together, there is always a team leader. In your real estate business you must be the team leader.

But, who are the most important team members? Who is your starting five? Who will help to build the strong foundation? In this article, I will briefly tell you what type of team members you need in your real estate investing business. I will tell you why they are important to your foundation. And I will tell you how to get these assets on your team.

Realtors: Realtors are very valuable in the sense that they can help you find the properties you are looking for. They can also help you with your comparable sales in an area that you are not too familiar with. If you explain to your realtor what type of property you're looking for, the realtor can be on the look out for that type of property, and if the property is worth buying then you both can make some money.

Bird dogs: Bird dogs are kind of like street realtors. You can train your bird dogs to look for a certain type of property for you. For example, in my business I look for people in distress (financially, as well as physically). My bird dogs know what type of deal I will buy, so when those deals come around they are all over them. The best thing about bird dogs is that they will find you properties for a finder's fee. I pay my bird dogs between $500 and $1000 for every house I buy.

Hard money lenders: If you want to be an investor, then you need a hard money lender on your team. Having a hard money lender on your team is like having cash on demand to buy properties. Hard money lenders can help you buy properties in as little as 7 days. That time frame varies depending on the lender. This can be effective when you are in competition with other buyers. If you can close fast then you will get the deal.

Title Companies: Title companies will help you get the deal closed. When you use title companies the hard work of closing a transaction is done for. Use reputable title companies. Use title companies that can close as fast as you need them to. This is very important in your house buying business. If you can't get the deal closed then you don't make any money.

Appraisers: Appraisers, like realtors can tell you what a home is worth before you buy it. An appraiser can give you an exact amount of what the property will be worth. Realtors will usually give you an estimate. Appraisers are good to use in your investing business. They can help you understand what you need to do to a property to get the value you need out of it. Having an appraiser on your team can make a difference in your deals.

These are just some of the team members that can be valuable in your real estate business. You can also use lawyers, accountants, and other team members as well. You can find these team members at your local real estate investment clubs, in the newspapers, online, through other investors, and by word of mouth. If you know how to apply them in your business, then you can run a smooth and successful operation.

End Users Drive Jaipur Residential Real Estate

2008-06-17T10:01:00.001-07:00

Jaipur residential market is being driven by the end user. Majority of the buyers are middle to upper middle classes. People are moving away from joint to nuclear families as also from within the walled city to the outskirts to live in the spacious homes in townships.

Jaipur is both a heritage and a hi-tech city. Touted as an alternate addition to Gurgaon, there is a huge interest in Jaipur's real estate market by both investors and end users. According to Jaipur based real estate developer Dhirendra Madan, Managing Director of Mahima Real estate Pvt Ltd, "Jaipur is part of the golden triangle and is a tourist city. It is a peaceful city and the kind of place where people would like to settle down. It has very good infrastructure and is very neat and clean and is a preferred city after the metros."

In Jaipur's residential real estate market, the maximum demand is for middle budget homes and this constitutes 60 per cent of the total demand. The prices have escalated in Jaipur and today 3BHK apartment is not available for anywhere less than Rs 45 lacs. Even on the outskirts where there is no physical and social infrastructure and the project has just been announced the flats cost Rs 20 lakh.

A significant trend in Jaipur's real estate market is that people are moving from villas to apartments, primarily for reasons of safety and security. It also helps end users as they get easy access re-consolidated services of plumbing, electrical, gardener, bills dispatch and maintenance, being managed by the apartment.

Jaipur-based Satya Prakash Builders (P) Ltd built the Royal Ensign apartments in the heart of the city, in the C circle area in 2006. Surja Ram Meel, Managing Director says that they retailed Royal Ensign at Rs 900/sq ft when we started but within 2 years it escalated to Rs 1500/sq ft. The apartments which cost Rs 70 Lakh are selling for nothing less than Rs 1.5 crore today.
