Real Estate Investing Blog

As a real estate investor, one of the things that you will want to be sure that you are doing is following the market news. The more that there is talk of home owners arranging for short sales with the banks, the better the position you will be in to profit.

When banks agree to short sales with those who are about to go into foreclosure, effectively they agree to accept whatever the seller can receive for the home. Simply put, for investors, short sales offer you the chance to make your best offer on a property and, if it’s the best that the seller can get, you win.

If you are looking to see whether or not you can benefit from short sales, you will need to be sure that you are on top of the market in your area. You’ll want to keep an eye out so that the moment a short sale property comes on the market, you can jump.

It’s quick action that makes the difference for investors. Knowing the right time to pounce on a great deal is as essential as being able to quickly secure the financing that you need to close the sale. Of course, it also means paying attention to the right time to turn the property around - but that’s a story for another day.

The ‘buzz’ of investing in real estate always has some key ‘hot topics’ associated with the conversation:  ‘long term wealth’, ‘great cashflow’, ‘financial freedom’, and ‘cash in on the foreclosures of the mortgage meltdown’ just to name a few.

Then there is the reality about it all - - (1) Absolutely you can gain and secure long term wealth, (2) depending on how you evaluate the deals before you do them – you will get great cashflow, and (3) financial freedom is the ultimate goal, however, if you do not treat, and respect, the real estate investing business, AS A BUSINESS, what you will have is a job-like experience with that ultimate goal not getting any closer to you.

I really encourage you to listen to this teleconference I did with Charles Petty (the Audio MP3 Play Now link is at the end of this post here).  It will truly open your eyes to new possibilities and to the ‘business’ of making $10,000 or more in the next 30 days – and doing it consistently – and having time for your family, hobbies, AND vacations.

By the way, at the end of the teleconference, Charles mentions a money-making opportunity that you can still take advantage of here on InvestorWealth.com because you listened to it here.

I remember when Richard & I began our real estate investing business – now seven years ago, one of the first seminars we attended was one exclusively on marketing. We learned twenty ways from Sunday how to do business cards, even more on bandit signs, thirty different newspaper ads, post cards, letters, flyers . . .. We were ready to go!

First of all we were both still at our full-time jobs so we opted for ‘newspaper ads’. Most of you know we live in Atlanta so our only logical option was the Atlanta Journal Constitution. MONEY WASTED! No responses that brought us anything that even resembled a motivated seller.

Next we decided to do the ‘work all week and then spend our weekends putting out signs’. The signs seemed reasonably priced, we felt good about the size, color, website, etc. AND we actually got phone calls from them. However, after the first 10 calls or so we then realized we needed to organize all our prospects. We then ‘thought the next important thing to do’ was to get a handle on which signs (street corners) produced the most calls so we could ‘target our marketing’.
