Wholesaling Real Estate For Fast Cash

Time and money are two of our most precious personal commodities. And for most people, there is never enough of either. If you are like most people, you are afraid of the stock market in this uncertain economy. But take way the fear factor and traditional investment still does not hold much promise:

1) Traditional stocks: Even before the economy tanked, playing the stock market was a risky move because the viability of a company relies on more than a strong economy. If a CEO steals from the company's coffers, the company can go under. If the product the company produces is found to have a defect of just wanes in popularity, the value of the stock will go down. Do you want to invest your money when there are so many "ifs?"

2) Retirement savings. You can invest all of your money in planning for your retirement but what will you do in the meantime? While it is good to save for retirement, if you need money fast, you will lose money and taxes if you withdraw early.

3) CD's. This is "old school savings." CD's are safe but the average return is 1-3 percent and you have to wait until they mature before you can cash them in for payment.

Besides hiding your money under a mattress where it will never pay interest, what is a safer way to invest your money? Real estate! Not only is the investment less risky, but you will see a higher return on your investment.

Real Estate Investment Options

- Say "Howdy Partner!"-but quietly. Be a silent partner in investments. These are called limited partnerships where basically, you provide the money for the developer. But you may not be the only developer. There may be several partners. The good news is you can earn as much as 20 percent on your investment. But this may be the most risky form of real estate investment.

- "Mutually" invest. Real Estate Investment Trusts offer mutual funds that can earn you high interest. But before you get your return, you have to pay management fees.

- A high yield. Investors say that high yield private mortgage notes can give you returns up to 18 percent because the loans close fast. However these are based on the property's value and are short term.

The Best Real Estate Investors Never own Property

The above statement is true. The best investors never own a deed or title. If you want to make money fast without a lot of complications, wholesale investing in real estate is the only method that is proven to work. Why? First, because wholesaling is simple. Second, since you never actually own the property, you don't have to go through a lot of complicated deed transfers, etc%u2026 And finally, you will have very little risk and in some cases as little as $10 invested. Wholesaling is not some 'get rich quick' scheme and it does take work. Here are the steps you can take to become a successful wholesale investor.

1. Learn all you can to make sure wholesaling is right for you. The Internet has thousands of articles about wholesale investing in real estate. Read these articles. If you know of a wholesale investor in your community, see if you can take him or her to lunch and get some advice.

2. Start networking as soon as you decide to begin a wholesale career. To make the deals, you need buyers and sellers. You never know who may own some property they will want to get rid of quick one day. If they know that you are a wholesaler they can call you to close the deal. Also, networking is a great way to sharpen your people skills, which you are going to need when dealing with buyers and sellers.

3. Place some inexpensive ads in some local publications. You don't have to spend thousands of dollars in your local newspaper's classifieds. Look for small publications that have great readership. Their ad rates are usually cheaper. Don't forget free online classified sites like Craigslist.

Wholesaling doesn't require a real estate license but you can make as much money if not more than a realtor. Simply find great properties, get a contract to sell the property and make the sale to a qualified buyer. Wholesaling is the easiest way to invest in real estate and make great profits.

When you hear the words real estate, many people automatically think that given our
current economy that it is impossible to make money in the industry. I'm going to tell you that they couldn't be farther from the truth.

Investing can be very profitable if you follow three basic principles that will propel you in any market!

1)Make Sure You Keep Learning

No matter the state of the economy or your level of success in the real estate business, it is an absolute must that you keep learning. There is so much good information out there that you can fill your head with. I know a lot of people are hesitant to buy real estate courses or e-books, but a lot of them are really good if you learn and take action. If you have the extra money it is always good to invest in your education. It is a fact that if you are in real estate long enough trends will change, and to adapt you will have to know various aspects of the business.

2)Don't reinvent the wheel

It is often hard as a real estate investor not to want to blaze a new trail in the business. I know when I started; I always wanted send out marketing material without the advice of anyone. This ended up getting me very few phone calls and a very large credit card bill. There are successful real estate investors in every market throughout the United States. If you go to some of your local real estate meeting I'm sure you will meet some of them. Most investors are more than willing to answer any questions you may have. Pick their brains and find out what is working in your market. Don't reinvent the wheel! Model yourself after things they are doing. It's ok to take what somebody else is doing who is successful and put your own twist on it, just don't over think it!

3)You Don't Need A Lot of Money To Get Started

I am living proof that you don't need a lot of money to get started in real estate. If you have a cell phone and little bit of money to send out some marketing you can get started today. There are several areas of real estate that you can make a ton of profit without using any of your own money. Personally, 90% of my business is wholesaling houses. I put them under contract and sell them at the closing table. It requires little to no money and each deal has between 5-20k of profit once sold. You can also raise private money, get hard money loans, or deal with lease options. All of those are great ways to cut your teeth in real estate investing without having a lot of money.

I hope these 3 tips can help you on your way to having a successful real estate career. I have a ton of free information that I give people everyday. My goal is to help breed future real estate investors!

Most children play the popular board game Monopoly and believe that to be successful at real estate, you need to have money. In some cases, this is true. But what if I told you that you don't need a lot of money to successfully invest in real estate? You may think you need credit or collateral. No! You can wholesale property for as little as $10 in some instances. This is not a get rich quick scheme but a real career that can lead you to financial independence. Wholesaling is the best way to make money in real estate. You don't have to worry about your credit score, having a realtor's license or a lot of money in the bank.

The Keys to Wholesaling

Many people think that being a wholesaler is difficult. Not true, if you can develope some basic skills, you can make thousands of dollars per sale. Here's what makes a successful wholesaler.

1. The ability to find good properties. You won't find these by scanning the MLS listings in your area or looking through the classifieds (even though you may find a great deal in either on occasion). A simple way to find great properties is to drive around town. Look for properties that don't seem to be in great shape. Better yet, find a property that is being sold by the owner.

Networking is another way to find great properties. Let everyone know what you are doing. If you can, join professional organizations. You may find your best properties by word of mouth.

2. Hone your people skills. Once you have found that perfect property, you need to convince the owner that he should sell the property to you. (your intentions to find another buyer before it is time to close) You need to have sharp people skills to convince someone who owns a valuable property to sell it to you at a discount. But wholesalers are doing this every day and making returns that are a 1,000 times more than their initial investment.

3. Create a great network of buyers. You can find great properties and have great people skills to get the contract, but if you don't have anyone to sell that property to, all of your efforts will fall flat. If you don't know many people in your area, find a small publication in your area that offers free or low costs classified ads. Use free online classifieds such as www.craigslist.org or www.backpage.com. Buyers will begin calling you and you can talk about the properties you have under contract. But don't just consider that first sale. You want to be able to call the buyer back when you find additional properties. Establish a relationship with the buyer. Have several buyers on your speed dial so that when you find that great deal, you can close it quickly.

Don't forget the basic principal mentioned above---networking. You never know when your neighbor or your friend in the civic club may decide to invest in real estate. You want them to come to you.

How Much Can I Make?

If you posses the skills listed above, you can triple your current income (or maybe even more) if you are in a basic nine to five job. Let's look at an example:

· You are driving around town and you see a property for sale you think a buyer you know would like. You find the owner and meet with him or her. He agrees to a sales contract if you put down $100 in earnest money.
· The property once valued at $100,000 is in disrepair and is only valued at $65,000. The buyer agrees to purchase the property for $70,000. Once the deal goes through, you have made $5,000. Do you have a day to spare to make $5,000?

As I mentioned earlier, this is not a get rich quick scheme. You have to make contacts, learn how to spot good investment property and have excellent people skills. But once you get these skills down, you will be quitting your nine to five job in no time!
