Now is the Time to Be a Creative Real Estate Investor
Why Real Estate? What do Creative Real Estate Investors have to gain? How about early retirement? How about a shorter work week with more pay? How about loads of money in the bank? Sound good? This is the perfect atmosphere in which to get started.
Let's look at two different areas. One is credit and the other is loans. Consumers have spent way more on credit cards than they should have. The banks have also lended way too much money for homes that are worth much less than the purchase price. Now the debt and loans are not being paid back.
Never in our lifetime have we had so many delinquent home loans. Why did this all happen? Consumers have taken on way too much personal debt, especially with their credit cards. The banks also gave way too much money to the wrong people. Now we have our real estate crisis.
Government-guaranteed loans including HUD, FHA, VA as well as many others are going bad. Fannie and Freddie even went belly up. On top of that, banks are being forced to repo homes that they cant sell. Its a great opportunity to buy at fire-sale prices.
The information is in. Houses are selling cheap. There are more than ever have been in our lifetimes. Motivated Sellers are around every corner because there are so many people that must sell now. This mean there is a great opportunity for more sales and more profit.
We have all heard this saying - "in real estate you make your money when you buy and get paid when you sell." You may put money in your pocket when you sell the property, but if you bought the property correctly, you have lots of money making options. But if you bought the property incorrectly, you may not have any options. So finding motivated sellers and properties below market value is the first goal while investing in real estate.
A key thing to point out about investing in real estate is that there are a multitude of people looking to buy homes, assuming you can tell the prospects from the suspects. Because of the financial crisis around the world, many of these would-be buyers are having a tough time getting money from banks. An investor can turn these lemons into lemonade with the right amount of innovation. With the know-how and some ingenuity, an investor can take the place of the bank and take a pretty penny for their time. Are you able to finance the transaction with the sellers money? Whos on your buyers list? Do you include only traditional buyers?
Isnt that wild? If there are a ton of these things on the market at fire-sale prices, whats stopping would-be buyers from stepping in? Honestly, a very large portion of those who are in the market to buy a home have never even heard of these methods. That being said, now that youve heard of these methods, what are you waiting for? - 23217
