Diversify into New Markets with REITs

getrealshow@getrealrei.com (Judson Voss) — Tue, 28 Jun 2011 11:18:00 +0000

Financial Advisor, Scott Cramer, joined me to discuss how the individual real estate investor can diversify their portfolio into markets never imagined. If you think now is a great time to own real estate but you are afraid of getting out there and buying and flipping houses then you might want to consider REITs (Real Estate Investment Trusts) A REIT is basically a professionally managed group of assets that all fall within a specific charter, or more plainly, are similar properties/activities.

As you will find out from Scott, REITs encompass a wide range of property types and geographic areas. If you want to invest in other states or other countries even, REITs make it possible. As with any type of investing though it is important to understand your personal investing goals and risk tolerance.

If you would like to find out more make sure you visit Scott's site http://www.cramerandrauchegger.com

David Veeder joined me today to talk about how he built his real estate business. Now David isn't going to tell you how he built Billions in real estate. Instead David is a guy I have known for 3+ years. He started exactly where we all do with no real estate. In a fairly short period of time he has built up his business to the point that he makes his living by owning rental homes and loaning private money. This interview is a must for anyone that is trying to figure out how to go from employee to real estate entrepreneur.

David shares...

How to figure out what type of investing is right for you
Going out and building a network of other investors
Searching out and working with a mentor to help you learn
Learning how to rehab rental properties correctly
Getting up after a tough deal
Using your money to create income in real estate without owning it

"I have seen MLS listings for short sales that say one of the following:
1. Subject to Lender Approval - this is pretty obvious.
2. SHORT SALE with approval or we have approval price from bank - Does this mean the approval price might be different from the listed sales price, and that the approval price is the only price the bank will accept? Should I even consider trying to negotiate less than the approval price?
I am basically trying to determine when it is appropriate to offer less than the listed sales price." from Cheryl B

and...

"I'm a buy and hold investor looking for ways to maximize my time with advertising my rentals. Currently I have 61 units and was wondering if you have any tips on how to keep my Craigslist ads near the top of the list without having yo delete the ad and rewrite it. Or do you know of any software tools that help you post rental ads?" from Cory B (no relation to Cheryl)

You don't have the time
Don't want to visit distressed sellers
Don't have the money to work the deal
Can't meet with a BPO agent
Wouldn't know where to find buyers

Then you need to listen very carefully to this interview. Plus at the end there is a great Q&A session with awesome questions from those that were live on the webinar.

Episode 14 – Lease Options, Foreclosures and Part-Time Investing

Today’s Question was…

“I am a fairly new investor with a full-time job. I bought two properties in 2008 before my daughter was born, and haven’t purchased anything since. I work a regular 9-5 and take care of my daughter at nights and on weekends. I am determined to purchase at least one property this year by enlisting the help of others as much as I can to help make up for my lack of time. However, I was wondering what advice you have for investors with little time to go out and look at houses. Any courses you recommend I look at?” – JT

How to Analyze Comparable Sales

getrealshow@getrealrei.com (Judson Voss) — Mon, 01 Mar 2010 04:40:00 +0000

Episode 11 - How to Analyze Comparable Sales

It's Viewer Question Friday and we had a very good question from Janiro...

"When finding 3 properties does the structure have to be the same, for instance when I researched my subject property on zillow the comparable properties were within the one mile radius, they had similar square footage as well as the same amount of bedrooms and bathrooms. However, I noticed that my property was wood with a 2 car detached garage, but the other properties were all brick with attached garages. Is that ok or should I find more properties?”

There are Four Main items you need to consider when developing good comparable sales, they include...

Make sure you are comparing similar homes in square footage and bed and baths.
Try to find homes of similar quality so an unupdated 1970’s home is not the same as a home across the street that was recently remodeled.
Try to find 3 homes within a mile of your property with similar neighborhoods and sold in the last 6 months.
Only ever compare sold homes and not homes listed for sale.

Will New Second Lien Holder Rules Help Short Sales?

getrealshow@getrealrei.com (Judson Voss) — Tue, 09 Feb 2010 18:38:00 +0000

Episode 6 - Changes to HAMP May Mean 2nd Lien Holders are Willing to Play Ball on Short Sales

On Friday Bank of America agreed to work with the federal government on their second lien holder plan in the HAMP program. This means that they will start to work with mortgage companies who hold the first mortgage on properties in loan modification deals. Reducing the second mortgage payment can help a lot of homeowners qualify under the governments criteria that they only pay 31% of their gross income to housing. Just as importantly for us it may signal the beginning of better relationships between banks on short sales. Maybe this is finally our chance to get both of them to play nice and get our smoking hot short sale deals where there are two lien holders approved!
