What do you really think of when you hear the term "real estate"? Do these words conjure images of luxurious dream houses and expensive cars, the fruits of wealth through successful investing? Do infomercials promising the life of your dreams come to mind? Or does real estate remind you of today's headlines, with words like "crisis" dominating the discussion?
Do I need a property before I look for buyers, or should I have a list of buyers before I find a property? The most important thing, of course, is to start somewhere - just start. If you don't have connections, investors to sell to, you're probably new to the business and might not even know a good deal if you come across it.
I remember the auto parts commercial stating that you could prevent a costly engine replacement by simply changing the oil and filter on a regular basis. The tagline was “You can pay me now, or you can pay me later.” That certainly applies to real estate. Performing preventative maintenance on a regular basis can help you avoid expensive repairs on your rental properties.
However, for many first-time investors there are a number of questions/concerns that keep them sitting on the fence. How do I find the right properties? Who do I talk to about renovating the properties? How do I manage the properties while still working my normal job? One possible answer is Turnkey Real Estate Investing!
Real estate is one of the greatest ways to build wealth, no secret there. Now there are hundreds of different ways to invest in real estate... maybe even thousands! (looks like I’ll have some more blogs to post...) Today I will share with you the four types of real estate: residential, commercial, industrial and land.
As a professional rental management company, one of the more common questions we get asked from investment property owners is whether to rent their apartment, condo or townhouse as a furnished or unfurnished option.
Property management experts are businesses and companies dealing with the management of property on behalf of the owners for commission. Property management has become a booming business especially in real estate.
Do you know why turnkey rentals are more prevalent in less expensive real estate markets? The economy has forced a lot of people into a foreclosure or unemployment for periods of time.
Real estate wholesaling is a tough business but is less risky than flipping. Regardless, that's not to say that the process is going to be smooth-sailing all the time. Like any other business, it has its highs and lows. If you know what you're doing and enjoy each and every stage of the operation, you'll find this line of work highly profitable.
