It's Time for Creative Real Estate Investors to Get Rich
What is so special about real estate as an investment vehicle, as a way to get wealthy, as a way to create passive income and retire young and rich? Why is this market so different? Why is this an advantage to the creative real estate investor?
Two things I want to share with you. Never before, have there been more foreclosures in real estate then there are right now. That is because the lending practices of the last five to ten years have encouraged people to get into debt far over their heads. It is not just real estate debt. It is debt from all forms of consumer debt but especially credit cards.
The lending practices in the United States have made it easy for anybody in any condition with any financial history to borrow money - in many cases more money than they could afford to pay back. So right now in the housing market, whether it is single-family homes, condos, or multi-family properties, there are more defaults, more foreclosures than ever before.
Want to talk about Short Sale opportunities? More and more banks are being required to take back homes. Also, more and more people are filing for bankruptcy. Freddie, Fannie and many other government-backed loans are going sour ever day.
The number of homes selling below market value is at an all time high. Because so many people are in a bind and can't sell their homes when they need to, it's a buyer's market. That means we have Motivated Sellers. With so many options, it should be much easier to find a profitable deal.
The old adage about real estate goes you make money when buying and get paid when selling. Maybe money finds its way to your bank account when selling real estate, however, intelligent transaction engineering will afford you many exit strategies. If you buy your properties the wrong way, you may end up with one or NO options. That being said, the primary focus for a real estate investor is cheap properties and seller motivation.
A great advantage of investing in real estate is simply that there are plenty of buyers out there and more coming every day if you know how to locate, prescreen and close them. Unfortunately the credit crunch is making it difficult, and in some cases impossible, for them to get financing. The creative investor will be able to capitalize on this market. Creativity and knowledge will let you step in where the bank used to and you'll be paid handsomely for it! What if you could offer owner financing with your properties? What if you could sell to anyone with either cash or credit?
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? - 23212
