THE REAL ESTATE INVESTOR’S EIGHT WAYS TO BUY PROPERTY WITH 100% FINANCING

Eric Martin — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 16:10:02 +0000

TO BEGIN Creative financing is nothing new. The truly successful real estate investors have financed their properties creatively for years. Their reasoning should be obvious: the whole idea is to acquire big assets by spending very little. Or, to put it another way, the more you own, the richer you are. But lately another element has [...]

THE REAL ESTATE INVESTOR MUST EXPLORE CREATIVITY & NEVER GIVE UP HIS/HER DREAM

Eric Martin — Mon, 12 Oct 2009 16:27:56 +0000

EXAMPLES OF CREATIVE PROBLEM SOLVING A real estate investor with partners creatively bought a 60-unit apartment building with a very small amount of money as down payment. He then converted the apartments to condominiums and sold them in blocks of five and six to still other investors at nearly twice the price he had originally paid [...]

Eric Martin — Fri, 09 Oct 2009 18:59:05 +0000

HOW TO SOLVE PROBLEMS CREATIVELY Here is one of the costliest misconceptions that you could suffer from as a beginning investor in real estate. That there is some “standard” way of paying money owned or that there has to be a payment in the first place. Consider, if a buyer and a seller agree to a [...]

THE REAL ESTATE INVESTOR MUST DEVELOP SELF-ESTEEM, CREATIVITY & INGENUITY

Eric Martin — Sat, 03 Oct 2009 16:15:32 +0000

HOW TO DEVELOP SELF-ESTEEM Self-esteem probably ought to be your first goal for development, especially as you try to rekindle the spark of your own creativity. Confidence and capability are a big part of self-esteem. You must first — and always — ask yourself what you (as opposed to anyone else) want, but then you much [...]

THE REAL ESTATE INVESTOR SHOULD HAVE THEIR OWN PERSONAL HIERARCHY OF NEEDS

Eric Martin — Mon, 28 Sep 2009 11:33:56 +0000

THE REAL ESTATE INVESTOR’S HIERARCHY OF NEEDS Taking the Maslow’s list, you could now substitute the typical hierarchy of needs that persons such as real estate investors constantly strive to satisfy. Self-esteem in both situations, for example, emerges only after all preceding needs have been satisfied one at a time. Real estate investors get that esteem [...]

THE REAL ESTATE INVESTOR MUST LEARN TO APPLY MASLOW’S HIERARCHY OF NEEDS

Eric Martin — Fri, 25 Sep 2009 16:26:18 +0000

MASLOW’S HIERARCHY OF NEEDS Your self-confidence and self-esteem are also at stake. The famous psychologist Abraham Maslow, a brilliant theorist of human development, studied thousands of personalities and determined that people do have creative ability with their own life’s decisions. These decisions, for example, lead you on a path of continuous development towards self-fulfillment. If [...]

THE REAL ESTATE INVESTOR MUST BE A CREATIVE THINKER TO ACHIEVE CREATIVE FINANCING

Eric Martin — Sun, 20 Sep 2009 15:34:32 +0000

THE SECRET TO CREATIVE FINANCING IS CREATIVE THINKING Everyone is born with some degree of creativity. Some people are more creative than others. Whatever talent you have in this regard, it is up to you to develop it. Unfortunately, whatever natural creative talent people have is too often stifled when they are children. They are generally [...]

THE REAL ESTATE INVESTOR MUST BE CURIOUS & CAUTIOUS WHEN SEEKING QUALITY INCOME PRODUCING PROPERTIES

Eric Martin — Wed, 16 Sep 2009 16:14:58 +0000

AS A REAL ESTATE INVESTOR, ALWAYS BE CURIOUS & CAUTIOUS Remember and don’t forget: Sometimes the answers in the newspaper or on a property listing sheet will be different from what the owner tells you in person. So, it sometimes helps to “play dumb” and ask everything anyway. If you find, for example, that almost nothing [...]

THE REAL ESTATE INVESTOR SHOULD USE A PROPERTY SELLER PREQUALIFICATION FORM

Eric Martin — Tue, 08 Sep 2009 18:31:38 +0000

The Prequalification Form that follows is designed to be quick and to-the-point. The questions are also designed not to be too invasive or offensive [...]

THE REAL ESTATE INVESTOR MUST ALWAYS PREQUALIFY THE SELLER OF THE PROPERTY

Eric Martin — Sun, 06 Sep 2009 15:35:44 +0000

TO BEGIN Maybe all this will seem quite obvious to you, especially if you have made any kind of investments or serious major purchases before.

THE REAL ESTATE INVESTOR CAN GET RICH BY APPLYING APPRAISAL PRINCIPLES WHEN BUYING PROPERTY

Your “total expense,” then, is the sum of all these items, and that sum subtracted fro you effective gross income becomes your “net operating income” (sometimes shown as NOI). Percentage-wise, for single-family homes, your total expense should most often fall within the range of 20% to 30% of your effective gross income. For multi-unit properties [...]

THE REAL ESTATE INVESTOR MUST BE ABLE TO PROJECT THE PROPERTY’S CASH FLOW

Eric Martin — Mon, 31 Aug 2009 10:55:17 +0000

Trying to project a cash flow is a little riskier than working with the actual figures recorded for a property for a certain period of time, and usually this is because every property is different. Certainly you’ll pay more for “snow removal” with a property in a northern state than in a southern one. On [...]

THE REAL ESTATE INVESTOR MUST ANALYZE A PROPERTY’S CASH FLOW

Eric Martin — Sun, 30 Aug 2009 12:22:16 +0000

If appraising a property is how you can determine what it’s worth, then analyzing the cash flow is how you can tell if you can afford it. Now you’re going beyond computing the net operating income. Now you’re going to have to see whether you can still meet the mortgage payments after every other expense [...]
