Creative Ways to Make More Money in Real Estate Investing

SUBJECT TO: Subject-to investing means that you are buying a home “subject to” the existing financing. You get the deed to the home but the original owner keeps the mortgage in their name. You take over payments of the mortgage and ultimately sell the deed to someone else.

WHOLESALING: This is where you buy a home inexpensively and then sell it to another real estate investor. You might not make as much as if you fixed up the home and sold it to a consumer but you can flip houses quickly this way.

REHABBING: This is the well-known (and well-televised) strategy of buying an inexpensive home and fixing it up to resell it to someone else. There is some time and money involved in the restoration process but you can dramatically increase the value of your investment.

LANDLORDING: A well-known strategy to buy property and then rent it out to someone else. Although there are headaches with this strategy, you get an ongoing stream of monthly income as well as the appreciated value of the property over the years.

There are other types of real estate investing but these are among the most popular and lucrative and investors are making thousands on these methods right now.

Many Different Types of Real Estate Investing Strategies

While the rest of the economy is in shambles, and record numbers of foreclosures make headlines, real estate investors are earning thousands of dollars by buying and selling homes. It seems that real estate investors know a thing or two about systems, strategies, and styles of investing that the average homeowner does not. If you are a budding real estate investor and you’re looking to invest in homes but don’t know how, here are some of the basic strategies that investors are using.

SHORT SALE: Doing a short sale is when you purchase a home because the bank is willing to sell it for less than what is owed on it. This happens a lot because banks know that they cannot collect their entire lost amount if they have to bring a house all the way through the foreclosure process. So you can buy a home for less than what is owed, and re-sell it someone else for a profit. For more info on short sales go to: Www.investingwiththestars.net/ben/htm. Ben Pargman, Attorney has a great system to learn short sales! For more information on short sales go to: www.investingwiththestars.net/ben.htm

REO: REO stands for “real estate owned” and this is when the bank has taken ownership of the property. When you buy the property, you are not buying it from the homeowner but rather from the bank. Many times, the banks will often let homes go because it costs them thousands of dollars to re-list and sell homes and they don’t want the non-revenue-generating real estate on their books.

SUBJECT TO: Subject-to investing is as simpple as buying a home “subject to” the existing financing. You get the deed to the home but the original owner keeps the mortgage in their name. You take over payments of the mortgage and ultimately sell the deed to someone else. For more information on Subject-to investing go to: www.investingwiththestars.net/banks.htm. Mike Watson has a program to get you started in subject-to investing!
