Choosing Your Market & Timing The Investment Wisely

For successful real estate investment, it’s more important to know your local market than just what’s going on nationwide. Your purchase and its success will be most influenced by the factors at work in your specific real estate market. A good rule of thumb to become successful in real estate investing is to avoid very hot markets. Some real estate investors here may brag about the appreciation of their properties or rising rates, but you risk buying at the top of the market and losing your money.

Buy Low

Real estate investing can be compared to investing in a dividend-paying stock. The return on investment is based on how cheap you bought the commodity. However, you have to look at the return on the investment. A cheap little house in an unsafe neighborhood can be bought for little money, but you won’t get much money from it, either.

Tap Into The Hidden Market

The ideal case is buying property from a distressed seller because you can get it way below the fair market value. Forget foreclosure auctions; this can yield deals, but you’ll often find properties in dire need of repair. Instead, look for homes with distressed sellers who haven’t put it on the market yet. The couple going through a divorce or family that wants to sell Mom’s home after she passed are the ideal sellers; they just want to get the money, and the buyer is probably getting a well-maintained home.

Understand Your Costs Up Front

If you’re new in the business of real estate investment, it is crucial to understand your costs upfront. It isn’t just the cost of the property and realtor commissions. You’ll need to pay for repairs, and too many newcomers to real estate investing don’t know how to accurately estimate costs to repair that cracked foundation, fix electrical problems, and address pest infestations.

Understand The Market

One of the best ways to avoid problems when investing in real estate is to understand the market. Understanding your real estate market will help you to evaluate the price of an investment property. Know how much the typical house in a community is worth per square foot and the rent you could charge for a given investment property. Renovate properties in ways that make it more appealing to the expected buyer.
