What Kind of Property are you Looking for?

Real Estate Investors Are Looking For These Kinds of Properties

 

Copyright © 2008 Ralph Marcus Maupin, Jr. (Mark)

 

Single-family homeownership in America is approaching 70%. These homes sell quicker than other type of property and they are the highest in demand. There are several categories of real estate available for an investor. Prospective purchasers have the widest range of financing programs available to them, making the property easier to purchase. If the property does not sell in a reasonable amount of time, it can be rented. For these reasons, single family homes are the easiest for a beginning investor to understand and participate in.

Ugly properties are the best property to buy because it will be for sale at a low price and in most cases won’t cost much to renovate. Look for the property that has never been "updated" or improved or one that has been improved, in a very tacky way. Don't be deterred by the pet urine, feces, or mice droppings. Where some see damage and odor, you should see dollars and opportunity. “Ugly Ducklings” are the properties that have the least competition, houses that can be fixed up by remodeling, not by rebuilding. Many people are scared about things like leaking roofs and broken windows; they'll discourage most inexperienced investors from purchasing the property. In many areas, you will be competing for some deals with "do-it-yourself" homeowners.

The oddest thing about it is that most people will sell the home when they're done, thinking they did great but they really broke even. They may outbid you simply because they figure they can buy a home for $50,000.00 that will be worth $70,000.00 when they're done fixing it up. It never occurs to them that they will spend $10,000.00 for materials and professional labor, one to two years working on it, and live in a construction zone the whole time. Buy, flip and sell works best in a 90-120 day time frame, with professional contractors quickly completing the decorating, repairs, and renovations.

I suggest that in order to avoid making such common mistakes you network with like minded people to get trained in the investing business. There are Real Estate Investor Associations all over the US. Many of these associations are non profit, usually referred to as a REIA. Investor groups are for the purpose of investor education, networking, and training. They bring national and local real estate experts to their meetings. They have training on wide topics like: foreclosures, pre-foreclosures, land lording, rent to own, lease options, short sales, deed offs, credit, wholesaling, find, fix, and sell, private money, lines of credit, and accounting.

To find a Real estate investors association or group in your area you can go on line to one of the major search engines. Type in the one of following words with your local City name: REIA, Real Estate Investing Clubs, Real Estate Investment Association, REIAs, Real Estate Investing Classes, Real Estate Investing Groups, Landlord Club, Real Estate Mentoring Programs, Foreclosure Boot Camp, Real Estate Training Classes, Real Estate Seminars, Real Estate Schools, Real Estate Courses, Real Estate Investing Network, Real Estate Conventions, Real Estate Boot Camps, and Real Estate Forums. Using a search engine to search for topic like how to find a boot camp or class on foreclosures in the state or city you are in works great.
