Real Estate Investing You’ve narrowed your list of neighborhoods to the Newlands subdivision. Fantastic!! You’re well ahead of most buyers. Now, it’s time to find an Broker who is a specialist in the neighborhood who can help you. Even if you’ve been through the home buying process before, it’s always a good idea to employ a district expert.. But how do you know which one to decide on? Think about these 5 tips when searching for the top broker who can prevent a lot of inconvenient issues that would have otherwise been avoided by not dealing with someone not familiar with the turf.

Talk to Several Realtors

The only surefire way to find a a broker that youre comfortable with is to meet with several of them in the district where youre looking to purchase. Make a list of questions to ask them, including their length of time in the industry, their sales record for the last six months and if they are familiar with the district. Take note of their demeanor and if you feel like they are genuinely interested in helping you find the best home for you and your family.

Ask for a list of references

Agents are professional people too. Don’t take their word for what their area of expertise is. Thats just how it goes in a business. It’s far better to get the opinion of past customers. If they don’t have any, you’ll be better off finding someone who does. Satisfied customers are a strong indicator that you’re making the right choice.

Go with your gut

Deciding on the best real estate agent can often be a matter of instinct. Do some know more about the area than others? Does one office have a more prominent presence than others in the subdivision? If youre not confident in your decision with a particular broker from your list of options, theres nothing wrong with moving on to the next one on your list.

Find neighborhood experts who Pre-screen Homes

You’ll save a lot of time if your broker is willing to look at homes in advance for you. Are you looking for a home near area schools? What about a basement? Do you want one? Weeding out the properties that don’t fit your specific needs by previewing them in advance can be a great time saver.

How quickly do they return your calls?

How promptly an broker follows up with you during your first couple contacts is a strong indicator of how well you’ll be treated in the future. Are you able to get a hold of him/her after-hours? What agent you pick to go with can mean the difference between the best, and the worst of experiences. Don’t take this decision lightly.

Following the above useful secrets, and finding the right Realtor should be a breeze. Talk with two or three agents in the Newlands neighborhood, & you should be fine. Just remember – there’s nothing wrong with going with whomever makes you most confident in your decision. After all – this is the most important investment of your life!

Real Estate Investing – So, you need leads. You’ve got property ready to sale, but you need people to take it off y our hands. Now, it’s time to find those who want to buy your property. One of the best resources you can utilize when looking for buyer leads is a real estate agent. Real estate agents have the information you need. If you know the right questions to ask a realtor can be your best friend when it comes to finding leads.

1. Most real estate agents (the good ones at least) already have lists prepared with buyers. The agent has the ability to send out a mass email to her list to get attention for available properties. Get your property to go out in that email and you’ve reached a whole new audience and find more buyer leads.

2. The real estate agent will contact potential buyers. You may have to pay a commission, but this is just another way to get the word out. Listing the property with an agent is one more person, contacting more buyers.

3. Contact real estate agents and ask to be on their lists. Just start contacting one at a time and pretty soon you’ll have a substantial list. Ask to be notified whenever there is a house or property that’s ready for sale.

Don’t be afraid to work with a real estate agent to find buyer leads. Realtors deal with active homebuyers and sellers on a daily basis. Although you may already have a branded website to collect leads, this website is about you. A realtor will help get the buyer leads that will learn about you. You may be amazed at the type of resources you can tap into simply for making a few phone calls to local realtors. When you’re willing to work with a real estate agent, you’ll find that you are both working for the same cause. You’ll no longer consider a realtor as competition, but rather as a help.

Real Estate Investing – Real estate investments (like safe high return investments Baltimore for example)  are often termed as low risk investments that can potentially yield good returns. A lot of people think that real estate is an easy business where you don’t really need to do anything. However, the truth is that real estate business does need you to put in some effort (if you really want to make profits out of it). The most important thing is to be able to uncover the real estate for sale that will yield profits. So how do you go looking for real estate for sale?

Generally, a lot of people start looking for ‘real estate for sale’ through the internet. And why not, internet is after all the hub of all information. So, you could look for real estate for sale using the search engines on the internet. You could also specify your requirements in search criteria on the real estate sites in order to get very specific results on real estate for sale. You can even view images and video of some of the properties thus reducing the need for personal visits for viewing. So, this is surely a good option for finding real estate for sale.

However, not everyone is tech-savvy and there are a lot of people who still take the approach of putting up an ad in the local newspapers. So look for real estate for sale in the local newspapers. In fact, there are some newspapers that are dedicated to just that i.e. real estate for sale. You could even go ahead and put up a ‘wanted’ ad in these newspapers. Sometimes, looking up for real estate for sale in old newspapers (like 1-2 months old) can help you get a good deal (in case the property owner has not been able to sale the property and has become a bit more ‘motivated’ to sell it).

MLS i.e. multiple listing service is often termed as one the best ways to look for real estate for sale. These are published by the real estate boards. If you can lay your hands on a MLS book as soon as it is out, you can really expect to get good deals. The key is to act fast.

Open houses are another good way of getting the best out of time. You can get to see dozens of ‘real estate for sale’ properties in a very short period of time. And you never know when you might come across a property that is real gold.

Investor groups are yet another rich source of real estate for sale information.

Of course, how can we forget the real estate brokers? Real estate brokers are one the most popular (and sometimes most effective) information resource for real estate for sale. Not only do they provide information about ‘real estate for sale’ but also assist in getting the deal finalized and closed.

Besides that, you can also get very good deals through public auctions, bank foreclosures, FHA and VA foreclosures and distress sales.

Real Estate Investing – Investing in short sales is a excellent way to profit in real estate and the short sale package is pretty easy to develop. After you have profitably negotiated the acquisition price with the seller , you may choose to contact the lender to get a good feel for what their short sale expectations are and how they would like to see the package. Because the lender will have the final say in the deal, you should contact them very early on.

As you get started down the road, find out from the property owner who currently holds the note on the mortgage. For the reason that of the way mortgage notes have been handled over the last few years, finding the actual note holder may be more of a challenge. Regardless, in order for the deal to go through, you will need to be in contact with the owner of the mortgage.

Get in touch with the owner of the note and find out who their loss alleviation people are. Discover what will be necessary to craft a short sale package that will meet the banks needs.

After discussing the short sale process with the loss mitigation officer, start building your short sale package. As this is a short sale, you will need to give sufficient proof that the home is not worth what is currently owed on the mortgage. To help build your substantiation, bring in appraisers and contractors to give an estimate to the cost of rehabbing the property. Also bring in an appraiser to give you a true market value estimation of the property. This, as well as letters of hardship from the property owner need to go into the short sale package

Once the package is completed, submit it to the lender for review. Depending on a number of factors, the lender may accept or reject your offer. However, if you have done your due diligence, and the home is in pre foreclosure, the chances of the bank accepting your short sale offer are relatively high.

Real Estate Investing – Cap rate and gross rent multiplier are each a method of measurement commonly used by real estate investors and agents to evaluate the price of investment real estate in order to determine whether it is, or is not, priced correctly and therefore offers a good investment opportunity.
For example. Whereas some agents and investors, having researched what other similar properties have sold for, use the cap rate method to determine and set a price for rental properties, others rely on the gross rent multiplier (or GRM) method.
So which is better? At the end of the day, which method used to estimate a property’s value is the better measurement of a property’s financial performance and more likely to lead to a smart investment decision?
Let’s consider both, and then decide.
Capitalization Rate
This rate provides a relationship measurement between a rental property’s net operating income (or NOI) and sale price. Expressed as a percentage, cap rate reveals what percent of the price is attributable to net operating income, and as a rule of thumb, whether a property generates enough income to pay its own way.
Here’s the idea. Because net operating income represents all income less operating expenses, NOI indicates the amount of money produced by the property available to pay the mortgage. This is the reason why lenders look closely at the property’s net operating income when making a loan.
The formula is straightforward: To arrive at its value, you simply multiply a property’s NOI by whatever cap rate you feel best reflects the rate in your market area. For example, if similar properties are selling at a 6.0% cap rate, then multiply the subject property’s net operating income by 6.0 to determine its market value.
The disadvantage of this method (if you can call it a disadvantage) is that it’s sometimes difficult to confirm a sold property’s actual operating expenses and therefore to determine the actual (not merely the published) capitalization rate it sold for. A good work-around is to get the market rate from a local appraiser.
As a rule of thumb, because it depends on individual market areas, there is no such thing as a universal capitalization rate. What might make a rental income property a steal in one city or state at 6%, might not get a second look in another.
Gross Rent Multiplier
The GRM method (expressed as a number) measures the ratio between a rental property’s gross scheduled income (GSI) and its price.
The advantage of this method is that you can compute GRM in your head. You just divide the property’s selling price by its gross scheduled income.
For example, if a property with $200,000 gross scheduled income sells for $1,000,000, it would have sold at a gross rent multiplier of 5.0 ($1,000,000 / 200,000).
Conversely, to arrive at a property’s value using this method, you simply multiply its GSI by whatever GRM you determine is appropriate for your market area (say it is 5.0): $200,000 x 5.0 = $1,000,000.
Nonetheless, though it is easy to compute, the disadvantage of using this method is that gross scheduled income does not account for occupancy levels and operating expenses (both of which are important indicators of a rental property’s overall performance).
There is no universally correct number because it, too, is market driven. However, as a rule of thumb, you might want to become suspicious if you see a GRM lower than 4 or higher than 12.
Okay, so which method is the best way to arrive at investment real estate value?
Gross rent multiplier is certainly the easier method to calculate, and does serve as a useful precursor to a serious property analysis, but analysts would agree that the more reliable way to determine rental property value is with the cap rate method. Fair enough.
But never rely on capitalization rate alone to provide a true picture of a property’s profitability or to make a real estate investment decision. Always correctly compute all the numbers, rates of return, and cash flow scenarios for yourself.
Remember that numbers can be manipulated. When you are being told how great a buy an income property is based upon its cap rate, always reconstruct your own raw data to insure that all is revealed and nothing is concealed before you actively pursue the real estate investment further.

Real Estate Investing – When you sell your home, the process is almost like going to a job interview. Selling a home involves presentation, which is one of the key factors that determine the outcome. Although this may sound a bit weird, presentation is a way of life in the world of real estate. Buyers in today’s market look for good presentation – many basing their final decisions on it.

If the property you are selling comes with a garage, you’ll need to go through your garage before you sell your home. Chances are that you store things in your garage, which can easily pile up over time before you realize it. If your garage is in a messy condition, you’ll obviously want to clean it up. Buyers look for homes that are in perfect condition, and anything less than perfect will look bad in the eyes of the buyer.

Most homes have some truly outstanding features inside of them. You should always do your best to highlight the best features of your home, instead of just hoping that the buyer understands what they are. The ideal way to bring out the best features of your home is to use the proper lighting. If your home is clean, you can use lighting to bring out the best features in your home, and ensure that they stand out to the buyer.

When a potential buyer first pulls up to your home; the first thing he will see is your lawn. If your lawn is trimmed and well taken care of, he will get a good impression right off the bat. If your lawn is a wreck, he may immediately pull away. To give the best impression to the buyer, you should put some thought into how things look. You can always plant flowers around the walkway and throughout the yard, which will look great to a potential buyer.

You should also make sure that the entrance into your home is a positive as well. The front door should be in great shape, as well as the entry area into the home. You can add some plants, paintings, and rugs to ensure that your buyer gets a good impression. When the buyer walks through the entry way into your home, you should make sure that the view he or she takes in is a good on. Your biggest goal when showing your home is to ensure that the buyer is pleased.

Keep in mind that it may take some time to sell your home. These days, homes can sit on the market for months at a time before they actually sell. If you are having trouble selling your home, you can always reduce the price or simply go back to the basics. Eventually you will sell your home – although it may take more time than you think.

Real Estate Investing – There has been a lot of controversy about “flipping” houses in recent years. Is it legal? Is it perfectly fine? Well, it depends on who you ask, and more importantly, what their definition of house flipping is.

Here’s the common definition of house flipping: Buying a property, doing repairs if needed to put it in great shape again, and selling it right away for a profit.

Now how could there be anything wrong with that?

There isn’t. I have done it dozens and dozens of times, and it’s my preferred method of investing. There are always houses you can buy from motivated sellers under market value, whether the market is hot or cold. People always have financial problems and may want to get rid of a house for a lot less, for any number of reasons.

Sometimes the houses don’t need any work at all! I have literally bought some houses one morning, and listed them for sale the same afternoon! So keep in mind that not every house you are flipping has to be a big fixer-upper.

The problems with flipping houses come when there is dishonesty involved, such as lying to the seller, lying to your lender, lying to the buyer, and so on. So yes, there’s an illegal and a legal way to flip houses, just like anything else.

So many shady investors have “flipped” houses when there was fraud involved that a lot of people associate all flipping with being dishonest. This is unfortunate, but is really just a matter of semanticsso don’t let it get to you.

Call it what you want and let people have whatever attitude about it that they will, but don’t let other people’s crimes keep YOU from flipping houses yourself. So, I’ll say it one more time. It’s not only totally legal to buy a house and sell it again immediatelyit’s a really, really good way to get a big paycheck within a couple of months.
