Many people talk about being real estate investors but then find themselves in over their head with the daily responsibilities of running a real estate business. They get frustrated and claim that its such a hard business, yet people continue to make money each and every day in this business.

Opportunities do abound everywhere and understanding what to look for and how to seek out the best ones are a skill that once honed will allow you to maximize your efforts which leads to better profits. If you can maximize your profits you will make more money on your deal opportunities which will allow you to move forward being more aggressive in making offers and acquiring more properties.

Why is it that so many people want to invest in real estate. Yet each year that passes they are sitting on the sideline never making the move to do it. The masses have heard all the stories about getting rich in real estate. All the gurus preach about how easy it is to make money in real estate investing. In order for any of this to make sense you first have to DO a DEAL!

Doing your first real estate deal will lay your foundation upon which you can start to build your success story. But you have to DO a DEAL in order to get to that point. I have talked with so many potential real estate investors who have money that they are sitting on because they can not find good deals. They cannot find good people to work with who have integrity and aren't just trying to make a quick buck.  There are so many different techniques and tips that can be used to buy real estate. Many gurus promise to unlock this "MAGIC" for you, only to leave you more confused than when you started.

Confidence is the number one reason to get your 1st deal done. It will help you understand that real estate is a business like any other. It must be worked and perfected in order for things to work as planned. People are so afraid of failing that instead of doing things to minimize that risk, like getting a mentor. They would rather sit on the sidelines and watch as others continually make millions and then try to play it off as that  is the person's luck. It is not luck, but rather the work ethic that makes you successful.

Strategies! Ideas and concepts that make up real estate investing are there for YOU to uncover if you are willing to put in the necessary time to learn them. Theses are the same methods used by investors over and over again to scale their enterprises and get the life that they have always wanted. It is not easy and if often doesn't happen overnight. Ideas and the concepts to investing in real estate allow you to become as creative as your mind can be in being able to assist someone who needs to either get out from under a financially hard commitment, or helping someone reach what they had only thought could be a dream of owning their own home. 

Why have you not invested in real estate? If you have, why are you not living the fullest dream life you can at it. There are ways to better understand the concepts and ideas for investing and getting yourself to that next level. We can assist with:

The first thing you need to understand is that the ultimate goal in a venture such as this is to make as much money as possible in as little time as possible. This means several things to the wise investor not the least of which is that you must always have a complete inspection performed before you make any sort of financial commitment to the house. A good inspection can help you identify work that must be done, whether or not there is any structural damage, or whether there are any unexpected problems such as signs of termites or water damage behind the walls.

If you are anything like millions of Americans you have probably caught countless shows on cable television that boast the serious profits that can be made by flipping houses. This is a very true statement, serious money can be made when one goes about flipping the correct way, however, serious money can be much more easily lost when a house flip goes wrong. If you are hoping to find your way to fortune through real estate investing you need to pull yourself up by the bootstraps and understand a few house flip basics.

You should also take a moment to reflect upon the fact that many first time flippers actually lose money on their first flip. If you turn a profit at all, even a small profit you have learned many valuable lessons that you can carry with you into future flips and make more money. More importantly the lessons you learn from your first flip are lessons that money really cannot buy so it is worth a lower profit or even taking a slight hit if your experience makes you even more money in the future as you continue along your real estate investment path.

competition in real estate is becoming fierce because SO MANY people have been wanting to try it but have not had the resources or time. The interest rates are at all time lows which is allowing many to refinance their current property and gain access to cash. The only problem is that these people are driving prices up for the value of properties instead of finding good deals. I read in Yahoo Finance that in the past year 1 Million homes have been bought or sold in the South alone. Imagine what home prices are in other areas across the United States.

Automation is making looking for lead sources very easy, which allows for easier entry into the market. As more people come into the markets more and more wholesalers are raising their commission so as to take advantage of the newbies who are coming with cash in hand to make deals.

There are many great questions to ask when it comes to real estate investing and one of the many that you should consider if you are thinking of flipping houses for your real estate investment is: why? Why flip houses? It certainly seems as though it's a great deal of work and it is. It isn't an easy task to take upon your own shoulders and yet many people around the world purchase houses each and every day for the purpose of flipping those houses. Why? Profit is the long and the short answer, but it goes much deeper than that for many who are interested in flipping houses even if profit is the ultimate goal.

If you have watched countless shows on television about flipping houses and making tons of money in a truly short amount of time you've probably thought to yourself that you could do that and possibly wondered why you haven't. If you are considering entering the world of real estate investing through the role of one who flips houses there are a few pros and cons that you might want to carefully consider before taking the plunge.

We all want to find that magic formula that we can use time and time again. Buying a house or property subject to the existing mortgage note actually means a seller of a property is agreeing to sell to you or your entity a real estate property and they are agreeing to transfer the title or the deed or ownership to you while also agreeing to leave the current mortgage in their name, and you agree to make their payments. This is that GOLDEN TICKET strategy that you have been looking for. People think that it is difficult or that it cannot be done, but you are WRONG!

Now just to make clarity on a point, we're not talking about assuming a mortgage because when you assume a mortgage then the mortgage lender has got to approve for you to now assume the mortgage so in the case of buying subjective to the existing note the mortgage lender is not involved whatsoever in approving or disapproving or turning you down or saying it's okay for you to make the payments so you see since you’re buying subject to, that mortgage is going to stay in the seller's name. 

When I first heard of this strategy way back in 2000 my first question was who in their right mind will agree to leave the mortgage in their name and trust me to make their monthly payments for them? It's like I could stop making payments and you know ruin their credit or whatever. I mean why would someone agree to do that, and I quickly learned and discovered that the higher the motivation that a seller has to sell then the more willing that they will be to agree to this strategy.

Ask a person about their basic needs, and his answer would be these three: food, clothing, and shelter. As the world’s population continuously grows by around 83 million annually, the demand for shelter, especially for real estate properties, is constantly increasing through the years. Some are moving to larger spaces for their families. Some are looking for a lodge to relax. Some want their money to be spent on something worthwhile. Some are finding possible investments that can grow their value over time.

Consequently, this creates a situation which is called by economists the “real estate boom.” As more and more people are finding a house, apartment, or condominium to buy, real estate businesses are constantly booming. Now, what is there when there’s also a demand? Opportunities. An opportunity to satisfy the needs of the people. A chance to establish a money-making business.

An opportunity to earn money and amass riches. This opportunity must be seized. One way used by experts in this field to seize these opportunities is by buying real estate properties for a low price and hoping they can get monetary gains. This can be made through renting, flipping, or reselling. However, this requires enormous financial capital, with expenses spanning from the down payments to completing the purchase to the maintenance of the property.

However, what if I tell you that you can start a real estate business deal without bringing even a single cent out of your pockets? This might seem impossible and too good to be true, but the wiser people of this field had mastered this art of “free real estate.” Several starters use these methods to start the business from scratch without giving too many initial expenditures. On the other hand, veterans in this field use these strategies to earn money even more through simultaneous investments.

In this episode we try to explain the possible ways to raise funds from others for purchasing real estate properties without the risk of bringing out any personal money (or just a little bit). We also talk about the advantages and disadvantages of each method to help you decide the best way to start your real estate business! Note that while every method has its pros and cons, decisions should not be based on which has the most benefits and the fewest drawbacks. Some might have disadvantages that have little effect compared to their advantage or the other way around.

Many people talk about real estate investing to build generational wealth and financial freedom. It doesn't matter if you have $10.00 or $1Million in the bank. The truth of the matter is a lot of you get stuck standing on the sidelines while others profit from their investment moves. I know individuals:

Stop saying that you have to save up your money or you have to wait until your credit score is higher. Those things would be an additional help in getting you going, but are not necessary to invest in real estate. Often times we stand by waiting for things to get in order in our lives and another year passes us by. 

You can invest in real estate today. Doesn't matter how much you have nor does it matter about your credit. You have to be able to find "GOOOD" deals, and be willing to pull the trigger on those deals when they present themselves to you. What some ways to find these good deals I'm talking about? Listen Now to our Podcast Optimized Investors - Real estate Investing and learn tips, tricks, and strategies that you can use today, not months from now, to find deals in your own backyard that could prove to be very profitable for you.

People are investing in real estate every single day. The interest rates in the United States are at their lowest point and can make buying real estate a very good ROI(Return On Investment), but you have to know what you are looking for, you should have a mentor/coach to guide you, and you should be a part of a larger like minded community that can assist you in deals and help you to grow in your knowledge.

There are many GURU's on YouTube and FaceBook that provide you with just enough information to keep you hungry and buying their courses and information. You need to have someone who will tell you straight up that what you are doing is not the correct way or that you are not MAXIMIZING your cash correctly when doing deals. Remember we were not taught entrepreneurial economics in high school or College for that matter. There are many creative strategies to buying real estate, THAT WORK! You just need the knowledge and understand of how and when to implement them for you circumstances.
