- • Find an agent: First of all, find an agent with significant experience. Choose the agent, whose name shows up the most in your neighborhood. This guy will likely know the right price for every property and how to market it. Also you can find a good agent through yellow pages or through referrals from other people.
- • Keep looking for "extra" opportunities: Always looking for an extra opportunity. There always are some things in your property, like a full basement which you can convert into living space. You can also turn it into attic space, which you can convert into a bedroom as well as an office. You can also make an extra lot that you can split off and sell it without any reduction in the value of the home
- • Avoid rentals: there are times when the rentals will not produce the cash flow. Well the problem with the rentals is that they can only be sold on personal values. On the other hand the apartment buildings are priced according to the net income. Therefore you should avoid the small rental properties, as the cash flow also remains slow with them.
- • Find some motivated sellers: It is very important to find the “motivated sellers.” When you look in the classified advertising, look for words like "need to sell," "must sell soon," and "will consider at all the offers". These things indicate that the seller is ready to sell the property at any price which is close to his or her expectations.
- • Never rely on appreciation: if you are thinking that you will earn through the rise in the real estate values only, then you are mistaken. This is speculation not investment. Treat the appreciation in value as a bonus, but always buy on the basis of the available cash flow. You can plan something to increase the value yourself or even rely on some other well-thought-out plan to earn profit. This is really important for real estate investment.
