Needle In The Haystack?
As mentioned on the link "Why Invest in Real Estate?, there are four primary benefits
to owning real estate. However, as a real estate investor, you don't experience the
benefits of owning real estate until… you start buying some real estate. I know this
sounds pretty simple, obvious, but yet to many real estate investors, this simple fact
eludes them.
Believe me, there are countless people out there who are "needle-in-a-haystack" types
of buyers. They are looking for that one unbelievable, once in a lifetime deal on a
property. They always want that property at $20,000 below market value. As a result,
they make multiple offers on multiple properties. The end result: no properties purchased,
a mountain of frustration, and of course, no benefits gained.
Don't get us wrong. We believe a property must be purchased at a fair price. It doesn't
benefit you to purchase a property above its fair market value. However, if the comps say
a home is worth $220,000, we hate to be the bearer of reality, but that house will sell for
$220,000. Homeowners are not ignorant. They know the market, or at the very least their
agent will let them know what comps warrant their home to be valued at.
What are we proposing? We are proposing that as investors, we learn the benefits of
actually owning the property, of gaining the benefits of cash flow, depreciation,
appreciation, and principal pay down. We are proposing that we not focus all of
our energies on "needle in the haystack" types of deals. If a home is worth $220,000,
let's focus on the financing to figure out how we can get that home cash flowing for you.
Forget the needle in the haystack approach. It simply doesn't work.
The best real estate book we have found is called "Equity Happens."
www.EquityHappens.com
We really encourage all of you to read it. It talks a lot about the different types of real
estate investing and this "needle in the haystack" approach. Read it today!
Multi-Family and Commercial Properties
We have experience finding properties with cap rates above 9.
In fact, we have a list of properties with numbers that would
appeal to the hard core investor. If you are looking for a duplex
to a 100 unit building to a strip mall, we have both MLS and non-MLS
inventory. Send us an email today and let us know what area you are
looking, and we will get the properties over to you to review.
Preconstruction
We also do a lot of work in this area. Preconstruction, basically means
that you are able to "tie up" a property at today's price, and hold onto
for up to a year before you close on it. By the time you close on it, you
have built up a considerable amount of equity. At closing, you can flip
it for a profit, hold onto the property as a rental. There are countless
opportunities out there.
Discounted New Construction
We at www.InvestmentPropertyGuys.com
have a direct link with many new construction builders.
These builders  come
to us when they need inventory sold. As a result, our
investors get to profit from the sizable discounts that
these builders are offering through our company. You
can buy and hold, buy and flip for a quicker profit…..the
opportunities are limitless.

Fix And Flip?
This is an area of real estate that has a huge potential. There are three keys: buying
the property "right," knowing how much money it will need to be fixed up, and knowing
what it well sell for. Again, this sounds simple, but many investors do not master this
formula. If you are interested in fix and flips, send us an email and we can touch base
with you.
Florida Or Arizona
 
We partner with a group that does a considerable amount
of investing in Florida and Arizona. They continually
are on the lookout for high appreciating areas. Preconstruction,
fix and flip, and buy and hold opportunities are available.
Send us an email today if you are interested in these
markets.
Buy and Hold
Our emphasis here at www.InvestmentPropertyGuys.com is on buying and holding….building your
long term net worth through real estate appreciation. Minnesota has appreciated on average,
6.15% from 1940 to 2000. Again, read Equity Happens. This book is awesome. It confirms what
the truly successful real estate investor understands…..equity does happen!! |
