New To Real Estate Investing?
So you decided to get into real estate investing. Good for you! While at first, real estate investing can seem a bit overwhelming, if you pay attention, you will be paid in rewards and dividends 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.
Most of these clubs are very open with new members or any one interested in investing. So show up and mingle. Most investors love to share war stories or exchange information on purchases they have mad or services they have used.
Now dont buy anything just yet. You need to map out your "battle plan". What type of real estate are you interested in? What are you willing to do with it? And what is your exit strategy with it?
So know you need to decide on the type of investment property you want to invest in. do you like the idea of duplexes? Single family homes? Small apartments? Remember this, if you start out with one type and become familiar with it, then you will learn exactly what you need to do to make the profit from it. Being a specialist in this manner can lead to faster profits.
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 Strategy. How to unload your investment. Think about how youre going to sell it. Are you listing it yourself?? Or using 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.
Understand your going to make mistakes. We all do. The goal is to see them before they eat in to your profit.
In the end, the investor who runs their business in the most efficient ways will profit, succeed, and grow in real estate investing. - 23217
