Uncovering Smart Real Estate Investing Solutions for 2009

Uncovering Smart Real Estate Investing Solutions for 2009

You can create tremendous wealth in real estate regardless of the current market conditions. While we're in the midst of an investing climate that hovers somewhere between perilous and challenging (depending upon who you ask), there's still a ton of money to be made. To cash in on the profit potential that's at your doorstep, you need to uncover the right solution. It's not as hard as you might think. When the market was flying high, a real estate investor could do no wrong. It was almost impossible to mess up a deal, and quite a few novice investors managed to turn a bad deal into a marginal-to-good deal by exercising a little patience and letting rapid-fire property appreciation correct their mistakes. Those days are gone. If you make the same mistakes now, you'll feel the reverberations in your bones, and the reminder of your error will be staring you in the face every month when you look at the bottom line and cry yourself to sleep at night. The real secret to investing success is realizing that successful strategies change with current market conditions. While a quick fix and flip followed by a trip to the bank and a celebration dinner aren't necessarily out of the question, your most successful strategies for 2009 will be different because market conditions are radically different. The three most lucrative investing strategies for the coming year will be solution-based: Wholesaling - You can find motivated sellers everywhere you look. Needing to sell due to job loss, relocation, or possible bankruptcy, they are more willing than ever before to let you craft a workable solution that gets them out of the bind they find themselves in. You can come to the rescue of desperate homeowners by putting properties under contract for pennies on the dollar and assigning your right to purchase to another investor, keeping a tidy profit for yourself in the process. You solve the homeowner's problem by creating profit potential for another investor - and earn a great pay day for yourself. Short sales - With short sales, you get to play Superman - in duplicate. Not only will you be helping a homeowner to avoid foreclosure, but you'll also be doing their friendly banker a huge favor. Banks are taking back record numbers of properties and bankers are desperate to get these properties off their books as soon as possible. Desperation is a quiet breeding ground for great deals, so by negotiating on behalf of the homeowner, you help them to avoid foreclosure while helping the banker avoid yet another REO. The payoff to you is a good property at a great price. REOs - Once a lender has taken a property back into its inventory in foreclosure, the homeowner is out of the picture, but the property remains. As banks watch their inventory swell, they want nothing more than to unload properties as quickly as possible. The reason is simple: A property in inventory is a massive liability to a lender. Between carrying costs, lost profits, and vacant properties that are producing no income, lenders are faced with another problem: They can't lend money to other borrowers, which tend to even further restrict their ability to turn a profit. Your offer looks increasingly appealing the longer they have a property in stock. These solutions are a recipe for financial success in 2009.
