Why Creative Real Estate Investors Make Millions in This Market
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?
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.
Let's take a step back and look at the root cause of all of this. Basically, banks would give money to anyone in almost any financial situation. In many cases, this was way beyond the means of most people. So, fastforward a few years and it only makes sense that the real estate market for all kinds of homes is suffering more foreclosures than ever.
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 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.
Many investors will tell you that money is made when a real estate investor buys their property and its not until they sell that they get paid. Maybe you get a larger chunk of cash when you sell, but if you bought right, you have lots of profitable options. A bad transaction, however, can leave you with few or none. So focus on great deals and only work with sellers who are truly motivated.
One huge plus of real estate investing is that people are always in need of a home, so there is always a market. Even in this bad market, you can find buyers, if you know how. Now that the banks arent lending as easily, it can be hard to find buyers who can find loans. If you use your mind and think outside the box, this isnt a problem. If you have the education and can be clever, you can be the bank and will be well compensated for your efforts. Can you offer seller financing on your properties? Can you sell to the non-traditional buyer?
Now that seems crazy doesn't it? If there are more properties than ever before and at better prices, and if there are more buyers, then why don't the buyers just buy those properties? The reality is in most cases they don't have the techniques that I told you about. So now that you know it can be done, it's time to start investing! - 23222
