Advanced Guide to Real Estate Investing

Advanced Guide to Real Estate Investing
If you’re interested in real estate investing, you may have noticed notice the lack of coverage it gets in mainstream financial media, while stocks, bonds, and mutual funds are consistently touted as the safest and most profitable ways to invest. According to real estate guru Ken McElroy, that’s because financial publications, tv and radio programs make the bulk of their money from advertising paid for by the very companies who provide such mainstream financial services. On the other hand, real estate investment is something you can do on your own–without a large amount of money up front Picking up where left off in the bestselling The ABC’s of Real Estate Investing, McElroy reveals the next essential lessons and information that no serious investor can afford to miss. Building on the foundation of real estate investment 101, McElroy tells readers:

  • How to think–and operate–like a real estate mogul
  • “The Top Ten Real Estate Markets to Watch”
  • How to identify and close expert deals
  • Why multifamily housing is the best real estate investment out there
  • How to surround yourself with a team that will help maximize your money
  • How to avoid paying thousands in taxes by structuring property sales wisely
  • Important projections about the future of real estate investment

Short-Sale Pre-Foreclosure Investing

Short-Sale Pre-Foreclosure Investing
Due to the wave of refinancing and subprime lending in recent years, and the subsequent fall in home values, millions of properties are worth less than their mortgages. The only way for these properties to sell is through a “short sale,” in which the bank holding the mortgage agrees to sell the property at a loss — to a savvy investor. Banks will do this because they need to get “upside down” loans off their books and they do not want to be holding property that is in default.
Short sales are the hottest topic in today’s real estate investing market, yet most real estate agents and investors don’t know how they work or how to make money on them. This book will teach investors how to negotiate with banks to buy properties at big discounts, creating windfall profits for the investor. Readers will learn:
* what 900f real estate agents and investors don’t know about: the short sale.
* how to make huge profits from the banks’ misfortune.
* how to help homeowners in foreclosure and get a killer deal yourself, at the same time.
* how to buy properties for fifty cents on the dollar with no real estate license, using no money or credit.
* how to “buy low” and “sell low” during the crashing foreclosure market.
* how to stay on the cutting edge of the down market and how to get rich…now.

Buying A House? Take Foreclosure Bus Tour

Some local real estate agents are trying to turn foreclosures into someone’s windfall.

The agents are taking prospective buyers on buses for what they call Equity Tours.

KMBC’s Bev Chapman reported that there are plenty of for-sale signs in the metro area, and agents are willing to cut prices to move houses.

“You can’t build this home for what you’re going to pay for it,” Prudential Gaslight real estate agent Mary Edwards said.

On a recent day, Edwards was showing prospective buyers about 20 houses. She said the homes would give the buyer between $10,000 and $50,000 in instant equity because of their low sale price.

One of the homes is in the Four Pillars subdivision in Blue Springs.

“It’s got a great room with a see-through fireplace in the entry way,” said Prudential Gaslight real estate agent Brian Gauldin said.

The house has five bedrooms with big walk-in closets, three and one-half bathrooms and a new three-car garage. The home is listed for $314,900.

Agents said if you tried to build it, it would cost about $350,000.

The house has been on the market for 221 days.

Agents said banks that hold the titles to houses such as this want to get them off the books.

“So they drop the prices to get them out of their inventory so they can get good loans in hopes of recouping some of their losses there,” Edwards said.

Some of the homes have tax appraisals that are higher than their asking price.

Chapman reported that there are some housing bargains out there, but real estate agents said the challenge is to get prospective buyers to see the houses and notice the silver lining in someone else’s foreclosure.

“If you really want to get a good deal on a house and really want to buy, now’s the time to do it. Don’t wait,” Edwards said.

On Saturday, Edwards and Gauldin will be showing people houses in eastern Jackson County that cost more than $200,000; on Sunday, they’ll show houses that are less than $200,000.

How To Buy Foreclosures

This is the topic on everyone’s lips. These days everyone is trying to figure how to buy foreclosures so they get a super deal. Learning how to buy foreclosures encompasses many aspects of real estate investing.

Before you can effective learn how to buy foreclosures you have to learn how to market for them. We have been discussing direct mail marketing as one method. The next method we will discuss will be door knocking.

This type of marketing for buying foreclosures is usually avoided like the plague. Many investors have a real reluctance about cold canvassing leads. Most of their problems are between the ears. Investors have a preconceived notion that if they knock on a door it will get slammed in their face.

My experience is quite the contrary. Most people that I have approached, through door knocking, have been very amicable and appreciate the information that I bring to them. Like everything else it is in the presentation and this is what we will discuss next.

Once you learn to like door knocking, your ability to buy foreclosed homes, at great prices, will increase dramatically.

Buy Foreclosed Homes - Using Direct Mail

Lets look at direct mail a little closer as a way to buy foreclosed homes. The previous video covered some of the advantages and disadvantages of direct mail. Probably the biggest advantage to direct mail is that you are able to aim directly at a specific targeted market for buying foreclosed homes.

Buying foreclosed homes encompasses several methods. You can wait until the home is in the possession of the bank and buy it as an REO. You also have the option of going after the home while it is in foreclosure. This “pre-foreclosure” market is where the majority of investors are working. This market can be rather cluttered and it is easy to get lost in the shuffle.

One often-overlooked market for buying foreclosed homes is the 30–60-90 day late list. These are people that have fallen behind on their mortgage and have not yet been filed upon by the lender as being delinquent. These people are not bombarded by mail because this list is very hard to get and is not public record. If you market to this list you will be amazed at the response it can produce.

There are two caveats here. First is that these lists come from credit reporting agencies and have certain restrictions on what needs to be said in the message. Second is that if you try to do this yourself you will find that you have to buy a large list, usually 5000 names or more. This method is not for beginners or people that are low on marketing funds.

If you are in a position to look at this method as a strategy, I suggest that you strongly consider outsourcing your mailing to a “done for you” organization.
