To recognise the full worth and potential of an investment property, the correct education, experience, and abilities are required. To become an expert in real estate investment, one needs understand essential ideas that will help them develop a solid basis for success. Learning is essential for developing any talent and achieving great achievement. You will not achieve great success and reap great rewards if you do not put in the effort. This is true for everything you wish to do in life.

So, without further ado, here are 7 to 8 essential principles of real estate investment that can help you grow wealth and prosperity over time.

Here are some real estate investment "tricks" and strategies that you may or may not be aware of. There are new ways to accomplish things that are worthwhile to learn. Another technique to aid is to be aware of the most recent sorts of funding. However, before you can do any of this, you must first grasp certain fundamental concepts. Here are some examples.

Buy and hold real estate is the key to riches

Capital appreciation is the polar opposite of becoming wealthy overnight. Real estate investment necessitates a great deal of patience and time. Successful real estate investors are long-term thinkers who seek to generate money and grow wealth. Real estate is not about making the most money in the shortest amount of time; rather, it is about capital appreciation and establishing a capital company. To invest in real estate implies to invest for the long term, or to acquire and retain property for long-term gains. Fix-and-flip real estate investors leverage the cash flow created to fuel a long-term investing plan. So, to cut a long tale short, always plan ahead.

Real estate investing is about relationships.

People are your most valuable resource, and the more of them you know, the more likely you are to find good properties to buy, or buyers for your properties. ask people for their names, and if your memory is poor, take notes. Know the right people too, including a real estate agent who gets many listings of the type you are interested in. Wouldn’t it be nice if you were the one he called first?

So build relationships with new investors for more resources.

Know and understand the relevant numbers.

When you look at a rental property, for example, you should be thinking about the income, the expenses, and the capitalization rate, or “cap rate.” Imagine how certain changes would allow you to raise the income, and what that would do to the value. A “feeling” about a property, without understanding the numbers, gets many investors into trouble.

Investing in positive cash flow properties is the key to growing your real estate business.

Another good strategy to keep in mind is to invest in positive cash flow properties and not so much negative gearing properties. “Why?”, you may ask? Well it’s simple: you need cash flow to pay off your mortgage payments and other expenses. Rental income pays off the bills, so make sure to invest in a good rental property where rental demand is high to avoid bankruptcy and foreclosures.

Be prepared for real estate investing.

Have business cards, pen and paper on you at all times. You never know when you’ll see a property for sale, or hear about one. Sometimes, when you mention that you invest in real estate, sellers, buyers and other investors suddenly appear with information, opinions, and sometimes even good deals. So, Be prepared.

Create action-oriented goals, not just wishes.

For example, require yourself to look at a certain number of properties per week, and maybe even to write a certain number of offers each month. Set goals for all sorts of little steps, like making six phone calls per week, checking online listings twice per week, and so on. Action creates momentum. Repeated action creates habits, and good habits lead to more successful real estate investing.

Keep getting educated, and using that education.

Learning more from books, magazines and even tapes or CDs is a great idea, as long as you spend as much time doing something as reading about it. Some of us let the interest and enjoyment of reading about investing get in the way of actually investing. Good information is crucial, but it should lead to good real estate investing.

Aren't comps/CMAs useless with buyer credits at close happening now?

I'm looking into buying a new construction townhouse in my HCOL US city. I'm seeing builders offering interest rate buydowns worth $20k-$60k on $800k homes (rather than just lowering prices) in order to keep their comps high for their other units, now that buyer demand has been declining. I asked my agent about these, and he said these buydowns aren't even the full story: buyers can write all kinds of other credits into an offer, like their closing costs, prepaid sewer fees, etc. Apparently cash buyers can just write in a "buyer credit at close" for any amount in their offer. So a new townhouse that appeared to sell for $800k in the MLS might have actually been a cash offer with a $100k+ buyer credit at close, meaning the buyer only spent $700k or less in total, but to the rest of the world they can only see the $800k! So that made me realize I can't trust comps/CMAs for other new construction townhouses. The sales prices could be way lower than they appear...

Obtaining a real estate license as a hobby?

Hello, I am 24 years old - 2 years out of college and I have my main job. I was looking to get a real estate license (in California if location matters) as a hobby/for fun since I like real estate ever since I was in high school. In the past 2 years, I would go to open house in the weekends to look at homes for fun. I don’t plan to practice real estate full time as I have my main job but I am curious are there any benefits to this? In the future, I plan to own multiple properties and have rentals, so I was wondering if getting a real estate license can help me with it?

Advice? Moved out of my primary residence and now renting

I moved out of the house I own in August 2021, I lived there for 8 years, I have been renting an apartment the past 3 years and renting out my house. My current tenant is moving out in September. I seem to have just missed the living 2 years out of 5 years rule for being exempt from capital gains tax and my house being a primary home. Any advice on what the best thing to do would be moving forward? Continue to rent out my house? I'm happy with my rental, but wouldn't mind buying another property down the road. I could sell my house down the road and try to do a 1031 exchange? Moving back in my house isn't ideal because it's an hour away from where I currently live. I could take a HELOC perhaps and try to buy another property and continue renting for the long term? I do have a 2.4% mortgage rate on the house so I don't mind keeping it for a while. Thanks for everyone's advice. submitted by /u/Ok-Top-7859 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.co...
