Reasons To Invest In And Around Houston

By Duke Morgan

Key Opportunity

Recession has left property valuation in the US at rock bottom. Still one can earn a handsome profit in short term if Houston investment property is purchased after shrewd planning.

The key parameter today is location, places like Florida and Texas will always attract tourists and they hardly ever have an off-season. As you would see once you get into the Houston investment property market, the off-plan prices are always lower than the completed projects at comparable locations with similar scale of development. This has given birth to the "flip" investment strategy, where the capital investors sell off the unit prior to project completion. They basically rely on the appreciation of value as the project nears its completion. It is therefore important to get the terms and conditions of re-assignment of property clarified before you enter into the deal. At times, the trade-off for the power to reassign is a charge to be paid in form of a certain percentage of the purchase price.

When to Buy

Real estate players have taken numerous steps to encourage investors. They have been offered friendly and flexible payment plans like an installment system. They are at times asked to pay at the time of the completion of the project with a small amount deposited when they enter the investment. In terms of the project life-cycle, the earlier you enter the deal the better it is. Earlier entry into Houston investment property comes with the privilege of first right to the units. This way the investor can choose the unit most likely to get a good price.

Assess Risk

Investors should take steps to contain the risk of their investment. They should evaluate each opportunity on certain set parameters like appearance, location, facilities; and choose the one with maximum potential.

Before entering any deal, the foremost step to take should be deciding the exit strategy. Investors need to formulate a plan to liquidate their holdings as and when they want. In case a buyer is not found till the completion of property; investors should have a back-up plan.

ROI

In spite of the impending economic recovery, the market is still not very profitable in the short run. The long-term story is entirely different, Houston property rates are expected to boom after a few years and coupled with rising rent rates this forms a brilliant money making opportunity. To add on to the benefits, one can lap up one of the profitable ventures in the pre-release stage, thereby ensuring a discounted pricing. - 23200
