Real estate tips part I

Yes the waters are rocky, the mortgages may be harder to come by, but particularly if you're interested in buying rental properties with an eye toward becoming a bit of a mogul yourself, now is as good a time as any.

Get your credit in shape
True, you can probably purchase a property with a middle of the road credit score. But do you want to? A low credit score means a high interest rate on your mortgage, and that increased expense is going to cut into your overhead pretty dramatically.

So, take the next 12 months to improve your credit score before diving in. Pay your bills on time, turn down offers of new credit and reduce your outstanding balances. Based on prediction, you'll still have time to get in while the getting is good.

Study up
Jumping in without knowing the basics is the wrong move. Before you sign on any dotted lines, take the time to read a few solid (and up-to-date) books on real-estate investing. Once you feel you have a pretty good — albeit broad — handle on the subject, you can start scoping out the market where you plan to buy.

"You need to go out and see the area for yourself. Look at a lot of properties, get a handle on what they are renting for, and how much insurance and property taxes will be so you don't have any surprises," advises Thomas Lucier, an investor in Florida and author of "The No-Nonsense Real Estate Investor's Kit," (Wiley, 2006). Do it in person, but also check out the classified sections of your local newspapers to get a feel for the rents.

Real estates and properties

Welcome, my friend, to the world of real estate investing. When done the right way, investing in real estate can create for you an inflation-proof cash flow that will take care of you and your family forever.

Before I begin, I want to make one thing abundantly clear — this is going to take work. If you think you can just get started with your investing and wake up tomorrow morning a multimillionaire, you need to think again.

The general wisdom that real estate is all about location, location, location is flat out wrong. In the real world of investing, real estate is first and foremost about the motivation of the seller; secondly, it’s about the price and terms with which you can acquire a property; and then and only then about the location of the property.

Be rich

BOTH POVERTY AND RICHES ARE THE OFFSPRING OF THOUGHT.

The very nature of real estate owned for income and pyramiding is that:

AS EACH DAY PASSES, YOU MAKE MONEY.

You do not have to DO anything to create the income. It just happens by itself. Not that I am implying for a moment that it is entirely work-free. It isn't, of course. But it goes on making money for you, day in, day out, month by month, year by year, by itself.

When we are offered a bargain in real estate we must never forget that we are not buying something we are going to consume, we are buying WHAT we are going to be offering to the public.

If we are to avoid the unenviable position of owning a thing for sale and being unable to find a customer for it, we must devote our best judgment to the points about the property that will most influence the acceptability of our product (shelter) when we offer it for sale. And the most important single feature of ALL property is LOCATION!
