Learning how to invest for the beginner is not difficult to do. Buyers in today's market are up against some pretty stiff competition. Everyone and especially seasoned investors are looking for this great deal or the ideal property to invest in. So, if you have limited funds, no experience and little backing, you must start slow and learn from the experts.
How to get into real estate
If you are interested in how to get into real estate, then you must start with a professional investor. The best way to meet property investors is at a Real Estate Investment Club. You can join for a small yearly fee and learn how to invest wisely. This club will have weekly or monthly meetings with a guru or learned speaker will lecture you on how to invest wisely.
Everyone will pool their funds to purchase rental properties. This club will help you to build your investment portfolio. Although your profits are divided by the entire club, for a beginner this is the ideal way to start.
Investing tips
In order for you, the beginner to learn how to invest, you must start slowly and study as much as you can from a guru or someone who will assist you in the buying process. You should keep in mind:
- Start small at first
- Use as little down as possible and save your cash for future investments.
- Manage the properties yourself to save money and profit.
- Use due diligence (thoroughly investigation) on all the properties.
- Use creative buying when possible to save on closing costs (seller financing, lease options).
Rental investment
Rental investment is the number one way for beginners to invest in real estate. The best ways to invest in this market is to purchase a home or an apartment building and rent it out to good tenants. The bank will allow you 75% of the potential rents to help qualifying for the building. So, if the rents come to $2000 per month, then the bank will allow you to use an additional $1500 on top of your income to qualify for the loan.
Rehab and resale
All investors whom you will meet will tell you about becoming a rehabber. Property investment must include the ability to take a rundown home and refurbish it (rehab) and then place it back on the market.
In order to make money on this type of property, you must make four times in profit. So, if you invest $10,000 to purchase the home, you must sell the home for $40,000 more. So, a home purchased for $100,000 must be sold on the market for $140,000. This allows for mortgage payments, interest, closing costs, refurbishing and resell costs.
