If you
are just starting out as a real estate investor, you basically have two types
of investing options. You can buy and
hold a property and sell when the value goes up or you can buy a property,
remodel it and then flip it.
Obviously,
the safer risk is to buy a property and hold it until the value increases. If this is the route you have decided to
take, then there are a few things you need to keep in mind.
1. Look for a property that is close to where
you live. It will be much easier for
you to inspect and supervise the remodel if it is close enough for you to
inspect the progress throughout each day.
2. Look for a property that is in a neighborhood
that is on the rise as far as future development. This will allow you to benefit from the increase in the property
value as it goes up.
3. If you are trying to decide whether to buy a
newer built home, a remodeled home or a less expensive home that needs some
cosmetic repairs - buy the fixer upper and put some upgrades into it. This will give you a better return on your
investment in the long run.
4. Buying a home as a real estate investment
could provide you with some tax savings
5. Get a personal financial advisor to help you
set your investment goals
6. Your real estate agent can help you find a
property that will match your investment plans
7. Your realtor can help you with a myriad of
questions such as: why a particular
property would be considered a solid investment. Why certain features make a home easier to rent. What kinds of maintenance expenses you could
encounter. What kind of cash flow you
can expect and how the tax savings can add to your investment.
8. Your realtor can also give you the history
of pricing trends for any particular market area so that you can use that
information to achieve your investment goals.
