Investment Property - Onward and Upward!

I believe There is SO MUCH UPSIDE to real estate right now!
 
Its coming back strong and You even hear about it on major media, the timing is unprecedented.

But how do YOU take advantage of the effects of this economy?

How do you make 15% - 20% returns with your assets?  What if you actually owned something tangible and the return was paid in cash every month?  Do you think there is potential for value appreciation in this market?
I think so too.

In fact I have put together some tips for investors who are looking to purchase investment property and here are just a few that comes to my mind.

How much money is required?

properties should range from $45-$90k, even though most are in the $50-$60k range. Look for non-recourse financing that literally everyone qualifies for that will do 50% of the purchase price. many of our properties are set up just like this...  Now You can be a sole owner for as little as $25,000.

Where should I buy?

Use carefully selected metrics to evaluate employment, crime, rental markets, real estate prices, legal climate and more. ( Our staff works full time evaluating 100 markets across the USA)

How do I get the right properties?

This is the big question!  Find homes in the right part of town.  We really like properties where the purchase price is low, and the rents are high. (If you are interested, We can work with you to learn what is important to you and then present potential properties for your review.)


How to finance the purchase, and the fix up?

With us, the acquisition, and the rehab work is complete.


How to manage the construction work?

Our properties are rehabbed and ready for tenants, and have a 1 yr home warranty to cover any major system failures that might occur in the home.

How to get it rented?

Our properties aren't sold until we have rent-paying tenants in place or a rent guarantee that extends 3-12 months.

And Lastly...

I don't want to fix toilets...

We have great property management in each market.  They take care of tenant interface, scheduling repairs, and collecting rents.  Great property managers are worth their weight in gold.  You can find your own, but we suggest you leverage our relationships to make your life easier.
