Questions from listeners:

From Bob in Long Beach California: I’m looking at a possible rental property. The rent is about $750 per month less than the payment but I feel like long-term this will be a good investment for me. What are your thoughts?

Derek from Atlanta wrote in: “I’m having a really hard time finding a deal in Atlanta. The market is so hot here whenever a property is listed, there are usually multiple offers the same day.” Suggestions?

  1. If a market is that hot, it’s because of low inventory. This is a good time to be a builder or to invest in one.

  2. Deals are still out there even though they are harder to find.

    1. MLS may not be the best source.

    2. Driving for dollars

    3. Deal marketing

    4. Pre-foreclosure marketing

  3. Move away from the metro area - look to outlying counties. Study population stats - go where it’s growing, but not over-heated.

  4. Consider other areas completely. Keep listening to this show or sign up for one of our courses and learn how to flip properties in other state.

  5. This is the un-sexy part of being a real estate investor. Sometimes it just seems like work.

 

Francis from Pittsburgh PA writes in with this question. “I found a great deal. A friend of mine needs to get rid of his house quickly because he got transferred. We spoke to a realtor who said it’s worth probably $160,000. He’s willing to sell it to me for $130,000. All it needs is interior paint and a kitchen makeover. What do I do now?

This isn’t a deal if you plan to fix and flip.

If you want to move in, probably fine.

Candidate for a subject-to purchase or take control with a lease option and flip that. Too many details for the time we have here, but do not buy this house thinking you will fix and flip it for a profit.
