Today, I went to a real estate investing seminar. It was very basic, parts of it was similar to the presentation we give for potential investors:
Why Real Estate? We say it's an I.D.E.A.L. investment.
I - Income, D - Deductions, E - Equity, A - Appreciation, L - Leverage
What they had to say was similar:
1. Huge Paydays!
2. Great tax benefits; tax laws are designed to benefit real estate investors
3. Leverage! Wow - can put 0 - 20% down and realize the benefit of 100% of the appreciation.
4. Simple to learn; this is a checklist business. Follow the 11 simple checklist items and you've completed the transaction; and on to that huge payday!
Success leaves clues!! According to USA Today, 74% of the millionaires in the US made their millions in real estate.
Real estate goes in cycles; the time to get involved in any cycle is at the beginning. 1999 was the beginning of a tremendous growth cycle. Now, in 2009, we have a new cycle and pattern. We have reached a 30 year record inventory for distressed properties, for a myriad of reasons. With this new cycle, trend, pattern, investors must respond with a different solution.
The solution that works is specialization, working financially distressed properties in today's economy.
So, who is the # 1 most motivated seller? The banks, REO (Real Estate Owned) Properties. There are a number of reasons banks accept discounted REO Purchases, primarily to clean up their books and get back to banking.
There are specific checklists to follow when
Number 1 discipline for successful investors - we make money when we buy.
