So What Type of Real Estate Strategy is For Me?
There are several different real estate investing strategies available in this business. They can all work, earn you profits, and get you out of your day job, however there are advantages and disadvantages to each strategy. Set your goals, find a mentor, and then educate yourself to narrow down a plan that will work for you.
The Real Impact of Monthly Cash Flow
It's definitely important to maximize the cash flow at each of your buildings for the sake of increasing your monthly income. However, the implications of this increased cash flow are much greater than your monthly paycheck. You can create thousands of dollars in equity to use for the down payment on your next property easier than you think!
How To Mitigate Your Risk and Get a Great Deal
When evaluating deals, beware of buyers that overstate the numbers to make the deal look greater than it really is. Put "bank-colored" glasses on and learn to scrutinize your deals like lenders do. They ignore pro forma projections and so should you, but you can also use these numbers to your negotiating advantage!
Sometimes You Just Have to Say No
One of the ways that we spend more time than necessary as landlords is by doing things for our tenants that they can do themselves. Why do they ask us for these favors? Because they don't realize that it's their own responsibility. As investors, we need to protect our time and learn how to create proper expectations with our tenants. To some, saying "no" is simple but not easy. Having the proper systems will eliminate this burden entirely!
How To Prevent Eviction
Many real estate investors stay away from buy-and-hold cash flowing properties because of fear – fear of the tenant. And in their mind, the worst possible scenario is eviction. While eviction does take effort and can be costly, it can also be avoided altogether the vast majority of the time.
What To Consider Before Eviction
Sometimes we just want a tenant out of our property! Chasing down late rent and lease violations can easily lead us down the path of eviction when we’re frustrated. Eviction can be a costly process, so consider the financial implications and your other options before actually going through with it.
How To Evict If You Must
You’ve taken all measures to prevent an eviction, you tried a creative approach to solve your tenant’s problem, and now you feel you have no choice but to evict. What are the steps you need to take?
It Pays To Know Your Landlord Tenant Law
Knowledge is power and applying what you know about your landlord tenant law can put money in your pocket! Landlord tenant law protects all parties involved, and in many cases this protection is financial. If you thought you could improve your cash flow by reading a copy of the landlord tenant law, would you do it?
Can I Get That In Writing?
In this day and age, I know someone who is still using a verbal agreement in place of a written lease agreement. Can you believe it? He's been a landlord for at least 20 years and has a lot of battle scars to prove it. This is quite unusual and not recommended to say the least. What's more common is to use a lease and nothing else. This still leaves you vulnerable!
Money-Making Options For All Properties
If you truly want to turn your real estate into an real estate investment property, real business, or money-making machine, a great way to do so is with leasing. If you want to be an entrepreneur, real estate gives you a great opportunity to create wealth and help people: lease a property to a family and give them the option to buy at the end of the lease.
Making Your Business Boom Buying Real Estate Loans
When it comes to your real estate business, you should at some point specialize in real estate financing. For example, your business should be making tens of thousands of dollars additionally on each deal – but what if you buy the real estate loan and make more money through your own real estate financing?
Big Cash From Preconstruction Profits
Pre-construction real estate can be a great way to make huge profits without ever owning a property! And you don’t even have to be a real estate developer, or the home builder to make $25,000 or more per real estate contract! Plus, when you use this method, you don’t even have to make a mortgage payment.
