Different Type of Real Estate Investing Opportunities
by Nancy Geils
While the rest of the economy is in shambles, and record numbers of foreclosures make headlines, real estate investors are earning thousands of dollars by buying and selling homes. How is it possible? It seems that real estate investors know a thing or two about systems, strategies, and styles of investing that the average homeowner does not. If you are a budding real estate investor and you're looking to invest in homes but don't know how, here are some of the basic strategies that investors are using.
SHORT SALE: A short sale is when you purchase a home because the bank is willing to sell it for less than what is owed on it. This happens a lot because banks know that they cannot collect their entire lost amount if they have to bring a house all the way through the foreclosure process. So you can buy a home for less than what is owed, and re-sell it someone else for a profit. For more info on short sales go to: Www.investingwiththestars.net/ben/htm. Ben Pargman, Attorney has a great system to learn short sales! For more information on short sales go to: www.investingwiththestars.net/ben.htm
REO: REO stands for "real estate owned" and this is when the bank has taken ownership of the property. When you buy the property, you are not buying the property directly from the bank. The banks will often let homes go because it costs them thousands of dollars to re-list and sell homes and they don't want the non-revenue-generating real estate on their books.
SUBJECT TO: Subject-to investing means that you are buying a home "subject to" the existing financing. You get the deed to the home but the original owner keeps the mortgage in their name. You take over payments of the mortgage and ultimately sell the deed to someone else. For more information on Subject-to investing go to: www.investingwiththestars.net/banks.htm. Mike Watson has a program to get you started in subject-to investing!

Branding yourself

In today's market it's hard to stand out in the crowd. You have to figure out ways that you can. One of those ways is to write an ebook about how you came about doing what you do on the internet. You could give the book away to help capture emails for your list. You could also try and sell it to help you with your residual income. Take the time to do this and you will see your list grow. I have found a great recourse for internet marketing that will show you how to sell any product on the internet. Do yourself a favor and visit http://www.the7figuredream.com I think you will be amazed!

So much to learn about marketing!

I am in the process of learning how to market my sites on the internet. It takes a lot of patience. But I have seem to stumble across a site that is willing to teach me, and it's like family. If you think you might be interested in something like this check it out at http://www.the7figuredream.com I think if you have been struggling to market on the net this will be of tremendous help to you. Good luck on making your first million!

Motivated Sellers

While many people in the real estate business spend a lot of their time chasing after leads to find motivated sellers and great properties that can be turned over for a quick profit, you should not underestimate the time that can be saved by getting at least some of those sellers to contact you. By getting sellers to contact you instead of you always contacting them, you can increase the number of leads that you have access to, which saves you time and money giving you the edge in real estate investing!
Advertising is a grat way in which you can get people to call you when they are selling their properties. There are a wide range of ads that you can buy for relatively low costs: classified ads in the newspaper, large newspaper display ads, flyers to distribute in areas where you have houses for sale. You can also put up signs in the neighborhoods where you are buying and selling – these have the advantage of being both relatively cheap and not going away too quickly (i.e. they are a more permanent solution).
The web is another option for getting sellers to call you. If you have the ability to put up a basic web site and draw some searches for your area this can be an effective sales tool. Check out my site http://www,dandcventuresinc.com to get some ideas and Save time investing by attracting the attention of people who are actively searching for real estate investing deals in the area that you serve.
Word of mouth is one of the classic ways to get people to call you when they are interested in buying or selling in real estate investing. It helps to be able to deliver a thirty second speech that introduces you, your real estate investing business, and invites people to tell their friends about you in they are interested in buying or selling real estate. You should carry unique business cards with you to hand out at the end of this introduction so that you always make the best use of your time and make new connections.

IRA investments

Did you know you can invest in real estate through a self direct IRA? If you are tired of losing money in your IRA you should look into a company called Equity Trust. They specialize in self direct IRA's and can help you transfer your funds into a self direct IRA. I have a property in my IRA and all the repairs and bills are paid through the IRA. Once you have the property in the IRA you have the rent paid to the IRA and it's all tax deferred. So take an investment of say 60k you can earn 8-900 a month in rental income in your IRA for as long as you own the property. That's about 10k a year! There are many properties for pennies on the dollar available right now! Remember Equity Trust handles all the paper work and keeps all the records for you.

Nest time I hope to have the new site up and running. Hae a great day!
