I have sold many investment homes in the short time I have been in the real estate world. One thing I take pride in is helping new investors take action and buy their first investment property. There is a lot of responsibility that goes in to helping someone take their first steps. Here is what I like to find in the beginning when working with new investors:
Many investors who hit the wall when it comes to buying more investment property are looking for creative ways to keep buying real estate. Many investors never think to find a money partner. What is a money partner? They are someone who has the money to purchase real estate and be your partner for a percentage of the profit. Here is what you will need to show them to get a money partner to be your partner.
As an active real estate investor I understand how important it is to make sure that I have my power team in place. With the ever changing market conditions in the lending world its important to me to make sure that if I am applying for a loan that I am actually approved. How do you know if you are working with a lender who can actually complete the type of transaction that you are seeking? You need to make sure you do your due diligence on your potential lender. Here are a few things to consider when working with a lender:
For investors looking for the short-term cash flow strategy, Atlanta’s rent ranges are holding steady in the current market. While the decline in housing prices has taken its toll here, bargain hunters are able to get positive gains in areas where the rent ranges at one time never would have covered their monthly debt service. Investors, welcome to new and better areas of town!
For investors looking for a long-term solution, the data pictured above should explain it all. Putting an investment home on a 30 year note in 2009 (at current interest rates of around 6.25%) means that at the very least, your investment will be paid off when Atlanta has just completed an impressive 60% increase in population over that same time period. Dare to predict that your $100,000 investment (of which you only put down $5k to $20k) WON’T be worth $300,000??? Oh—and it will be paid off. Oh—and wouldn’t rents tend to increase over time?

On June 27, 2009, over 25 people attended Investor Nation's seminar in Portland, OR. Stephen Green, President, and Ryan Hinricher, Chief Marketing Officer, presented "Creating Wealth in Unprecedented Times (The Simple Way).”
To follow up, Investor Nation opened an office in Portland on July 20. Northwest Region Director Jason Dunn will be bringing years of residential real estate and business experience to the Portland office. He owned Portland Construction and Portland Fine Cabinetry, a commercial and residential remodeling company and custom cabinet shop, for ten years. During this time, he owned single family, apartments, and mobile home parks. In 1994, he began real estate investing full time as a career.
“I was excited when I learned about the resources Investor Nation brought to its clients. I know this company offers something unique from other investment firms, and I look forward to being a part of it,” says Dunn.

The National Association of Realtors reported that existing home sales rose for the 3rd month in a row, up 3.6% over May. While there were nearly 4.9million existing home sales in June, the number is slightly down from June 2008's 4.89million. The news however is upbeat and sent the stockmarket soaring over 9000 on Friday. Also encouraging in the news is the number of home sales representing foreclosures is now around a 1/3 down from nearly 1/2 early this year. While the worst may be behind us, the economy is still clearly fragile. And last month's numbers include nearly 30% of the transactions coming from 1st-time home buyers taking advantage of the tax credit which is due to expire in December. The Realtors chief economist, Lawrence Yun, reported that there are still issues coming from the new Home Valuation Code of Conduct(HVCC). Nearly 37% of Realtors said they lost at least 1 closing due to this new regulation. As an investment home buyer, it appears the prices are going to remain relatively low for at least a while. This means this unprecedented buying opportunity should be available in a market near you for now at least. Additionally you can avoid the pitfalls of the HVCC by focusing on due-diligence, ensuring you have a good understanding the value of a potential home you are purchasing prior to putting down earnest money.
Many new investors have a hard time trying to figure out what the difference between a foreclosure and a retail home. I hope to clear up some of the confusion. There are many factors that will prove to show what the difference is, here are a few main ones: Foreclosures can be purchased at a steep discount, Retail is closer to full market value. Foreclosures usually need repairs, Retail is usually move in ready. Financing a foreclosure is more difficult than a retail home. Foreclosures provide more equity than retail. These are some main points to consider. I know there are more that can be added to this list but I wanted to get the point across. You as a brand new investor need to understand that the investing world is different that the retail world. Do your homework and you will soon start to change the way you think.
