How To Buy Investment Real Estate
November 1, 2009 by Janet7
When it comes to investments many people have found that real estate is the right choice for them. Real estate investment is something that can bring a person a lot of money if they know how to make a proper investment. Not all properties that are listed for sale, up for tax sale, or facing foreclosure are good investments. It takes finding the right property at the right time in order to make a solid investment.
The first that that you will learn about how to buy investment real estate is to look at the whole picture, not just the surface level. Understanding a few key points is vital in making sure that you are buying the right investment.
- What is the property value of a comparable home in the area?
- What do the neighboring homes look like?
- Is the down decreasing in value or increasing?
- Are there surface and cosmetic repairs that can quickly be made?
- Could this sell for a quick profit?
Picking out the right investment is not just about finding a cheap piece of real estate. It is about finding something that requires a minimal amount to spruce it up that will bring a lot of profit. The idea is to put in minimal effort for a big return. Some properties will require more money than others but as long as the return that will be received from it is worth it, it is a wise investment.
Finding Properties
Start by researching areas to learn whether or not the real estate market is decreasing, increasing, or whether it has leveled out. Once you have found an area that suits what you are looking for, it is time to shop for properties. Start with the local courthouse to see what properties are listed for sheriff’s sale. As long as there are no liens attached to the property, or at least affordable liens, you can move forward. Generally you have to satisfy all liens on the property right away so this is something that you will need to be prepared for.
Gain a connection to a local real estate agent that can keep an eye out on newly listed properties that are within the range and type of property that you are looking for. You can always keep an eye on online real estate sites but not all properties that are listed for sale make it on there.
If you have cash for the property investment that is great. For those who do not, you will want to make sure that you are pre-approved for purchasing of real estate so that you are not wasting time. Making sure that you have all of your ducks in a row before investing too much time into searching for properties will ensure that you are on the right path.

It is estimated that approximately 15% of all property for sale in the US is FSBO (for sale by owner). Online real estate in 2008 is like travel in 1998 – and FSBO is the stepchild of online real estate. Everybody knows that real estate is one of the largest industries on the planet in the offline world. As long as more gurus and dollars are invested in online music, video, travel, and job search, it should be no surprise that online real estate will continue as a dwarf vertical.
