Planning is the key to any investment strategy. You can look at properties all you want but until you have a plan and act on it you won’t get very far. You must think long term, short term and middle term. These three approaches can help you invest profitably.
A property management company can help you hold properties for the long term. By managing the rentals for, you they allow you to focus on buying properties, not day to day management. This can make holding homes for the long term easier to do.
When you reach retirement how many homes do you have to own free and clear to have a great stream of income. Then your money is working for you, not you working for money. A great agent can help you with your success, by being a great partner on your team. He can help you find properties in great neighborhoods. Properties that people want to rent and that will increase in value over time.
Don’t have any funds to buy rentals then consider re-habbing a home. This is a well used investment approach. I actually became an agent to get the capital to do this type of investing. Finding and fixing properties to flip to a retail buyer is a solid money earner if you do your due diligence.
There are many ways to sell properties. Today they call it flipping. Like in flip that house. This is one way to get investment capital without taking money away from your household income. Plus you could turn it into a rental if the NOI (net operating income) works for you.
When you don’t have money up front you can use this third investing approach. You buy from a motivated seller and wholesale the property to another investor or retail buyer. When they close you pull out you fee for the deal. This gives you some cash to do another deal without pulling from your family funds.
No ownership hassles, no closing hassles, yet you get cash. No wonder many people make a good living just doing wholesale. For me it is just one of the three approaches that will , with due diligence and effort, generate profits. Your funds to invest increase, providing a lift to your other two approaches.
The trick here is to do it on a consistent basis. These three techniques can make you very well off in the long run. By combining the three investment techniques you can develop money to invest, provide current income and invest for the long term stream of income.
