New To RE Investing?

By Doc Schmyz

So you have decided to increase your personal wealth, and you lokking at real estate a a means to get there...good for you! some times people get over whelmed by the amount of information that is out there on the subject. Dont let this get to you. if you invest well, you will be rewarded with returns for years.

How does one start with the business of real estate investing? Let's look at plans to get started buying and selling real estate property:

First things first where to find the information. In the last several years the amount of real estate investment groups has exploded. Find a local one and attend a meeting. And dont be afraid to ask the most basic of questions.

People gathered together with like minds create a social atmosphere that motivates new investors to take action. Club members share ideas with other members, discussing what works and what does not work in real estate investing.

Before actually buying any investment properties, beginning real estate investors should begin to put their organizations together by outlining a specific business plan. The plan should go over every step in the purchase of a property, from the marketing strategies on through the sale or leasing of a property.

At first you need to decide on what type of property to start with. If your goal is to find distressed houses then focus on those. If you want to deal with the condo market..then thats where you look. Keep in mind when you focus on one area you will become more understanding of what those types of property can be sold for, not to mention how much it cost to get them sale ready.

Building your team is the hardest part of the whole process. You need to find good quality craftsmen who wont break your budget. Contractors, sub-contractors, plumbers, electrical guys...all of these are important. GREAT ones who do good work are harder to find then a good real estate deal. When you find one...hold on to them.

If you will be working with "fixer-upper" houses, line up a plumber and an electrician, as well as heating and air-conditioning experts. Better yet, find a reliable "handyman" who is capable of doing many of the jobs needed in fixing up houses.

Find a real estate agent that understands property investors and their needs and is willing to work with you on a continuing basis. An agent gives you access to property information, including the Multiple Listing Service. An agent who understands real estate investing can also find you good deals within your specific market.

Exit Stratagy. How to unload your investment. think about how your going to sell it. are you listing it yourself?? Or useing the great agent you found. How long will you stick with a price before you lower it? These are things to make sure you have set up in your plan already.

Every beginning real estate investor will make mistakes that cut into potential profits. It is imperative to recognize these mistakes and correct them before they can cripple the business.

In the end, the investor who runs their business in the most efficient ways will profit, succeed, and grow in real estate investing. - 23200
