TIP #1

Never be one of those people that spend thousands of dollars buying books, tapes and seminars and then put all of that information on a bookshelf and never look at (or use) it.

It could be the biggest financial mistake you ever make.

TIP #2

There are many potential investors who realize real estate investing is the best way to accumulate wealth and venture into the purchase of properties without knowing the basics of real estate investing.

Investors like this are almost certain to get into financial trouble.

Learn the basics before you jump into your first deal. Consider working with a seasoned investor on your first few real estate investing deals. Take a mentor, attend classes and implement learning from books and tapes to follow in the footsteps of those that are already successful in their real estate investing ventures.

TIP #3

If you fear Realtors will view you as competition, enlist their help. You can easily have Realtors all over your area working to help you find more and better real estate deals.

As they get a commission for each sale, they are eager to find you deals. Be sure and be ready to take those they bring you as you want to work with them in the future too!

TIP #4

Delays in a real estate project leaves real estate investors open to vulnerability from shifting economic factors. If the housing market cools off and interest rates spike before you get your house on the market and sold, you could be left with expenses like mortgage payments, insurance premiums, and property tax added to your balance sheet.

Add an additional 10 percent to your initial calculations for these holding costs when analyzing any real estate.

Real estate investing is an altogether different kind of business. People just like you and me buy and sell properties and earn tens of thousands of dollars, often within just a few days of getting into the business. ,A smart investor knows that a real estate property selected with care can be extremely rewarding. It can render above 100 percent ROI per year, along with good value increase over time. That is why real estate investing has become the most preferred form of investment by %smart% investors.

TIP #5

An alternative to real estate investing is paper investment, where an active real estate investor can supplement your portfolio or even make a full-time business in lieu of actual physical ownership of properties.

This offers the real estate investor a way to invest in real estate without the day-to-day logistical headaches of more traditional investing.

TIP #6

The most stressful part of real estate investing is during the sales phase, where there are so many things that can go wrong and your profit depends on making everything smooth and quick.

Most sales do go through smoothly, yet the uncertainty and anticipation can keep you worrying late into the night. This is especially true if you choose to sell your real estate on your own.

Selling your first investment property can be confusing and stressful if you do it on your own without the help of an experienced real estate investor or agent.

For your first few deals, seek the help of those that have prior experience and never underestimate the power of your team!

TIP #7

Should you decide to use one, a real estate agent does do a lot of leg work during a sale, but all of it comes at a cost. Hefty brokerage commissions of 6% or more turn many investors off of the idea of using an agent and onto the idea of selling the property themselves. If this sounds like something you would like to do, follow these steps for selling your real estate yourself.
