I have been thinking of real estate investing and I know that this is one of the better ways to indulge your money. But, there are still a few things related to real estate that need to be sorted out like how do the profits build up, what are the ways to go about this….and some more. Would you please help me to know more about real estate?????"

The home has to be a pre forclosure which means it has 80 days before Forclosure and you talk to the homeowner and tell him i can get you out of Forclosure give me your loans to the house you ask the bank ill pay you 1cent for every dollar on how many loans he has fix up the house and sell and make a profit from the money left over after paying the loans."

We gradually got it all paid for, saved more money for another home and moved out, renting both sides. Now, the home we live in is paid for (there have been more real estate investments) and we have income from the rentals. We are very happy with what we have accomplished. We also have experience with single family homes. Our great preference is for 2 bedroom homes rented out to single mothers or single people. I would not recommend the more common 3 bedroom/2 bath homes. We have been burned a few times and have learned in the process. We probably will be burned again - but not by much; our current tenants have been with us for years."

It's less risky and easier for the beginner. For example look for Tramita Real Estate Fund. Google it... It's over 50% YTD."

MarketRunner said: "Yea REIT’s are definitely the easier and safer way to go. They don’t require much of an investment, are passive, and are extremely liquid. However, as with lowered risk, there is lower return. One of the best ways to make money in both the long term and short term is by owning and renting property. Rents are a great form of income, and the hopefully appreciating value of the property will be there in the long run. Using equity loans is also a great way to purchase additional properties. If you can afford it leverage is the best way to make a buck. I found one of those newsletter that does a weekly Real Estate sector review, and has local price movements for different cities, both long and short term, pretty interesting if you’re looking to buy property for speculation or if your looking into a REIT that has a large percentage of its portfolio in one city.

Real Estate Investing is known by most people to be the best and safest method of securing your financial future. It is for some but many get into trouble trying to do it themselves while learning. There are many pit falls that we have heard of. The money pit being one of them. Everyone has heard of sweat equity, It's a potential pit for many. Creative financing is another pit that many people have fallen into recently, with adjustable rate mortgages, balloon payments, hard money lenders and Being a landlord can become a pit. It's all about what you know about solving or preferably avoiding each of these potential problems. If you don't know you should find someone who does know. When I first started investing in real estate I learned one very important rule, DO NOT LOSE THY CAPITAL. It seems obvious but it is the only way that you can lose in any kind of investing. You may have set backs but if you lose all your capital you will be back at square one in a hurry and nothing to show for all the sweating except an expensive education. I learned from the school of hard knocks and along the way I found mentoring programs. I spent lots of money on books tapes seminars and mentors. All the while learning a little at a time. Mainly what I learned is that most of these programs teach you enough to get into trouble or they only give a very vague knowledge of what to do. Many people walk out of high dollar seminars with a lot of excitement, drive and a rudimentary knowlege. This leads many into trouble The specialized knowlege that is most important in investing is having exit strategies. Having a lot of tools in your tool belt gives you more options in each deal you do. You can buy and sell to wholesalers, buy and hold (rentals), buy and rehab, buy from wholesalers and sell to end buyers, buy notes on properties, buy on the courthouse step[s, lease options, straight options,partnerships, commercial Real Estate,buy land to develop,buying foreclosures, short sales, tax lien sales, buying estate sales, buying condemed properties, buying the right of redemption,inner city fixer upers, city and county programs, grants, become a Real Estate Agent, or even become a lender. The list of ways to profit in Real Estate goes on and on. Many people spend months and years trying to learn the knowlege all the while missing out on a lot of deals they could have profited from. Who wouldn't be willing to do a deal with Donald Trump in a profit sharing contract. What the Don touches turns to gold. He definately has the midas touch. In conclusion if your a begining investor The best advice I can give you is find an experienced investor and split to get the knowlege while earning. Brice Cook"
