The 3 Things That you Need to Become a Successful Real Estate Investor!

You need 3 things to become a successful real estate investor.

The first thing you need is a “Motivated Seller”

Any and all creative real estate courses hinge on you finding the “Motivated Seller”

The good news for the creative real estate investor is that because of the current “Buyers Market” that we find ourselves in and the “Sub Prime Mortgage Meltdown” finding a Motivated Seller is not a challenge.

Plus, with the internet, it really has given the creative real estate investor an “Unfair Advantage”

Everyone is at our fingertips!

In minutes I can find out how much someone paid for their home, comps and a wealth of information that will empower me to get the very best deal I can.

Which leads me to the second thing you need to become a successul real estate investor.

You need the right specialized knowledge so you know what do do with all of that information that you found on the internet.

Easier said then done.

Most folks go on information overload simply cannot decide “what they want to be when they grow up!”

One week, they are going to be the Short Sale King or Queen and the next week foreclosures are goign to be their ticket until they see one of those rehabber shows on Sat night( Hey I love them too) and then they going into rehabbing!

Remeber this and never forget it.. a confused mind always says no and is always busted, disgusted and can’t be trusted.

One real estate deal can change your life but most quit before they get their first deal because they get bogged done on the highway of being a “jack of all trades” and a master of none.

I am here to tell you that you do not need 100 ways to invest in real estate to become super successful, all you need is one!

Stop the madness and pick one way that will work for you and work it!

This leads me to the final thing that is needed to start living life on your terms on not someone elses.

Your going to need committment!

As I said earlier, so many fall short becuase they give up before their first deal.

Hey, I have been there and realize how frustrating that creative real estate investing can be,especially when you first start out but you are going to have to become committed to seeing this thru until you get that first deal done.

I have had students ask me how loing does it take to get your first deal and my response is always the same, “As long as it takes..The better you get the easier this gets”

Who cares if it takes you 7 days 7 weeks or 7 months to get your first deal?

The goal is to get the first deal because then you are no longer “walking by faith” but you know that you know that this thing called Creative Real Estate Investing does work and can allow you to truly live a life of your dreams and a life on your terms and not someone elses.

Committ yourself to doing “Whatever it takes” to get your first deal.

Become committed , I mean truly commited and watch the clouds part and divine providence move on your behalf!

Much has been said about the secrets to making successful real estate investments. Every site we check or every e-book we subscribe to tells us a wide range of real estate tips. So if you are a beginner, what do you do? Do you just sit there and approve everything that the Web tells you to? Or, do you screen all the information that you get? A 20-something millionaire investor shares with us secrets on how to make money in real estate. This fresh graduate started investing while he was still in college and by the time he got his diploma, he was halfway to getting his first million. Three years later, he finally got what he wanted.

Observe – watch, listen, and talk. Learning is key to success. Use your senses to absorb everything around you. How does the entire process of property investing takes place? What risks does this entail? Why do some investors make a lot of money and why do others fail? How is America’s economy in general?

Believe that you are capable of making it big. When making real estate investments or any other form of investments, self-confidence is one of your strongest weapons. Forget your age or your background. A lot of young millionaires are making money the same way that a big number of veterans lose profits. Believe in your capabilities. Your self-confidence will reflect through in how you interact with your fellow investors or buyers.

Think and execute with an out-of-the-box mindset. One of the advantages about being young is that your mind is free of disillusion. Do not be scared to go beyond what is traditional. Be as creative as you want to be when developing strategies to help improve your business.

Do not worry too much about financing. One of the biggest worries that hinder young people from making real estate investments is financing. There are a lot of private money lenders around you. All of them can help you fuel your business.

Maintain good relationships. Do not underestimate the power of relationships. If you are a beginner, you need mentors to guide you through the entire process of the business. Having a huge network also makes it easier for you to find key persons that you might need in your team – realtors, agents, lenders, etc.

This young millionaire simply proves that the secrets to profitable real estate investments do not merely depend on the operational aspect of real estate investing. For more tips on making money in real estate, go to www.rehab-real-estate.com.

 


Real estate investing is not just all about finding the right property. In the last fifty years, it has become an increasingly popular investment vehicle. While yes, the real estate market offers plenty of opportunities for one to make a huge gain, getting into real estate investing can sometimes be even more complicated than just investing on bonds and stocks. In this article, we will share with you a few basic tips on how to get started with your real estate career.

Real estate trading – Considered as the wild side of real estate investment, real estate traders purchase properties with the intention of holding them for a certain period of time and selling them only when the value starts to appreciate. This trend is most commonly referred to as “buy and hold.”

Rental properties – This trend traces back to the old practices of land ownership. The investor buys a property and gets it rented out to a tenant. In this set-up, the owner and the landlord is responsible for paying all the taxes, the mortgage as well as the costs for maintaining the property. To cover all costs, the landlord charges enough rent or if he wants to gain more profit, he has the option to charge more. The most common strategy in this business; however, is to be patient and charge only minimal rent until the mortgage has been paid. After all the mortgage has been paid, majority of the rent becomes profit.

Leverage – Aside from the REITs, real estate investing gives the investor a tool which is not available to other stock market investors. This is what we call “leverage.” If you want to purchase a stock, you may choose to pay the full value of the stock at the moment when you placed the buy order. Even though you buy from margin, your borrowable amount is still less than with real estate. A lot of “conventional” mortgages need a 25% down payment. As the investor, you can control the whole property as well as the equity it holds by paying only a fraction of the total value.

REITs – Real estate investment trust (REIT) results when a corporation makes use of investor’s money to buy and operate income properties. The REIT is purchased and sold on exchanges just like any form of stock. Corporations need to pay out 90% of all its taxable profits through dividends so that it can keep its status as an REIT.

Real estate investment can be done easily if you are properly equipped with the right knowledge. For more real estate tips, go to www.reiwired.com.

View this Expert Real Estate Tips segment to learn tips on how to close a successful bid on a new home. Full disclosure, thorough documentation and professionalism are essential.


One of the most important benefits that a real estate firm/agent could get from good customer service is the generation of real estate referral leads. Real estate referral leads begins with the simple act of satisfying customers, so that they will recommend and refer their network of friends and relatives to you. Indeed, customer satisfaction is important in getting real estate referral.


In general, referrals are crucial for sales. The more referrals you get the better the chances that you can make and close deals; listing appointments, listings, sales, lease purchases, etc. So it is important to build good rapport with your clients, as they will pass on messages to their friends and family about the quality of services they can expect to receive from you.


And of course word of mouth is the main vehicle of real estate referrals. There’s no other way that people from your client’s network will get information about you. And their satisfaction from the service you provided is the key to your success with them and their network, too.


Generally speaking, only a small percentage of aspiring home buyers complete the home buying process. Some estimates show that far less than 50% of potential home buyers are ultimately willing to pay and spend money in purchasing a new home.


What this suggests is that it takes time and a lot of thinking before buyers will commit to the home buying process by putting down deposits. Key to their doing so is your ability to convince them through to take the leap – not through pressure tactics, but through information.


A proven strategy for doing this is with via prewritten home buyer and seller reports.


Home Buying and Selling Reports

Prewritten real estate marketing reports are an effective way to educate buyers about the home buying process and establish rapport at the same time. Selling is about relationships and the more your prospects connect with you and trust you to help them with what may be their most experience in their lifetime the closer you will be to converting them to paying customers.


A real estate referral lead is arguably the best lead to have, as the person will come to you being predisposed to transact business with you. Consequently, it should be relatively easy to 1st educate them through informative information and then convert them because they grow to trust you, much like their friends that referred them to you.


Tips to Build Strong Real Estate Referral Leads

In the real estate business it is important to stay in touch with clients; whether it be through phone calls, email message, direct mailings, etc. Similarly, it is equally important to always be easy to reach.


If you have a database of prospects you should contact them via your monthly real estate newsletters and email updates of upcoming events, new listings, exceptional buys, etc.


Additionally, real estate open houses are a good venue to meet people that you can add to your network. Invite your clients and ask them to bring along their friends and family because you never know who’ll be interested in purchasing a home.


Potent and Effective

A good real estate referral lead is equally as potent as other successful marketing strategies, including farming expired listings, postcard marketing, real estate internet marketing, lead capturing websites, real estate marketing reports, etc. So it is imperative to make a good impression and establish rapport with each and every prospect you meet.


Remember, a successful real estate referral lead campaign begins and ends with one customer at a time.
