Real Estate Investing is unveiled
Let's get REAL about something-and Quelch lies you said about Real Estate Investing!
What I'm going to show you some basic
truths about Real Estate Investing-truths that can
fully affect real estate investments, you have
now-and of course I will change the way you
Do, Real Estate Investing for the future.
Let's get right to it-and in the heart of the real
real estate investing question.
Have you been all your life become programmed
what you are today, school, friends, relatives
and, Yes, your parents.
Recent studies show that you are who you are,
more of what you've learned up to 8 years than in the
anything you've learned since.
Now that may surprise you, but it's true that
You learned how soon ages affects the way you
make an investment in real estate today and type
real estate investing success you will have to go
forward!
Yes, it's a bit shocking.
You see, if you grew up in an environment where
You've heard things like
"We can't afford it", "make sure that
you have saved enough cash to buy "
(i.e., never use credit), or many other phrases
Now you hear yourself saying (you know what
I say-the time you catch yourself
"by becoming your parents"), its your
at the beginning of the programming (from 0-8 years) and what you
been said about money, success and life in General.
That is to monitor your current income and your
the success or lack of it. ..
Things you have said that early, most
influence of age, are now creeping out and affect
how successful you are in business, life and Yes,
in your Real Estate investing.
THERE'S GOOD NEWS
The great thing about this fact, as horrible as it
seems-that you can change the "programming"-
You have the right to do so!
You can reprogram yourself any way you want-
have anything you want to do anything you want.
All it takes is just "Reinstall" the right kind of
thinking.
And, it's easier than you think!
One of the best ways to do this is to get a CD audio
from someone you love to listen to someone
think positively and said about the life you want
in order to live. Many home study courses are available (Yes,
including mine) are designed to inspire and
motivate you, although they teach you techniques and
Secrets of real estate investing.
Buy one-listen again and again until you
hear yourself speaking in this way, too.
You see, we all just creatures of habit and
Environment-if we let spam get in our heads,
all we ever will say is junk, comes out.
If all you hear is bad things in life (e.g., TV
News, most "talk radio" shows these TV "real life"
shows the fighting — you know, those.
and even violent movies where the language is
did you ever expect to hear from their own
lips.), it is exactly what you will wind up sounding
How!
This is true-"you are what you eat"-and that counts
just as much for what you put in the ears, as she does
for what you put in your mouth!
If you spend your time around "bar", you will
speak and act like them. Not that there is something
wrong with that, until you have made a conscious
thought that this is what you want but I think you would
be much more successful in Real Estate Investing, if
You listened to a successful person teaching
You about investing real estate!
Now let's get right to the point of various
methods and concepts you learn about real
Estate Investing.
You can call yourself "real estate investing expert ',
But if you have to get up every morning and wonder
wherever your next inspection, you are not
make an investment in real estate, you time
employed in a job real estate Investing!
Yes, this is a hard-hitting statement.
You see, I want to "get real" you are with yourself and
just admit it-Real Estate Investing, when you
invest in real estate investing and then
get money from "property investment»
defined.
Nevertheless, it seems that most people I meet wants
My participation in trainings or purchase my real estate
real estate courses that relate to the "no money
Down ' (NMD) real estate investing.
Now, that kind of talk only proves the point-you can
reprogram themselves speak in another language-
even if it doesn't make sense!
A bunch of "Guru" told you again and again
that "no money down" is real estate investing-even
Although you learned at an early age, «invest»
means putting money into something and money
from http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=invest (see for other definitions, none of them say no
Money down ' ...)
Now isn't that NMD property investment»
bad-heck, my students and I make a few
thousands of dollars on these types of ' real estate
Investment ' transactions each year, too.
Just not fool ourselves and say they're ' real
real estate investing, we know very well that these
"income" are just one part of your
real estate investing business real estate "job"
part-earned from your
' corporate job ' your ' job ' and real estate investments
towards a genuine Real Estate investing.
In other real estate, investing, I cover some
methods and techniques, you can explore
When you move from your "corporate work" on your ' real
real estate investing jobs "and you'll learn some insider
Secrets quickly found that leap.

Settlement of real estate investing fear factor
If you are a new real estate investor who thought about real estate investing, but due to a nagging feeling that you are confident that the market will collapse once you step and you will lose all your money; Guess what, you're not alone.
F.e.a.r. seizes each new investor; and no one has successfully invested in real estate today would otherwise. It is common for potential investors, real estate, Miss out on incredible opportunities for no other reason but an overwhelming sense of dread.
Okay so let's consider some of the most common fears and whether we can help you become less anxious and maybe take the plunge into property investment after all.
Negative cash flow
Hey idea for investment into real estate is making enough money to cover the operational costs and Loan payment with some left over bank account. To feed property won't cut it; no investor wants to feed their rental property.
Believe it or not, this fear, one may be the easiest to manage, because quite easy: simply run the numbers before you buy. Get the properties, the last twelve months income and operating expenses, calculate a mortgage payment and connect results to a spreadsheet or real estate investment program to determine the cash flow. If cash flow is negative, so be it, otherwise, dispel concerns and move forward.
Just remember to use realistic rents, vacancies (even if the holder submits a complete accommodation), operating costs (remember to replace reserves) and loan payment to calculate the annual cash flows.
Besides never go away just because property indicates a negative cash flow. Dig a little deeper and look for ways to manage cash flow. Many properties rental income just go negative due to poor management of the property; There may be potential rent increases and reduce operational costs. Who knows you may even find a real opportunity to ignore the current owner.
This is not the right time
Yes, for any number of national or international events, potential investors often think it would be appropriate to wait for better times, before making the investment in Realty.
But investment in real estate has little to do with the economic climate at the time you buy. First of all think in the long term. Economic depressions come and go, but as a property investment will affect your future profit? This is important.
If this helps, keep in mind that, unlike the fluctuations of the stock market, real estate has a deep history for constantly evaluating. Perhaps not immediately and not without sometimes bump, but historically property values go up over time.
Lose your money
Of course you do not wish to use your savings that may be the biggest financial investment of your life only to wind up losing everything.
However, the main thing for study and research. Information about the property you want to invest in and the area where you plan to invest. Look for sources of information, such as seminars and college courses, real estate software and real estate investing books. Get expert assessment of investment properties-real estate professional or property appraiser. There is always some risk when real estate investing, but developing a plan with knowledge would deny most of your uncertainties.
Tenant and management hassles
Okay it's true. Nobody wants a headache to repair the fridge or fuss with unruly tenant; and understand why this concern not many people were getting real estate investors. But life always has a number of compromises and trade off sometimes migraines for potential future wealth worth as a whole.
However, it is also true that when you learn to face and manage most of the questions in your sleep. If not, you can always hire the services of reliable property management company to solve this problem for you. For around ten per cent of income from rental property manager to do the dirty work; the advantage that it will save you the time and effort to deal with tenants and repair, and in turn raises questions about how the late rent into the hands of experts.
Lack of experience in real estate
Just because you have not purchased investment property should not keep you from real estate investing. In this case, find a real estate agent specializing in investment property to help you.
When it actually comes time to buy a Rental property income, you'll be surprised to find that it's not as devious as it looks, and engaging the mind expert will significantly increase the level of your comfort. But the key word here-real property investment. Real estate agent who just sells a House would not be useful for you; You want a real estate professional with true real estate Investment experience.
It is time to start work
Of course, the hardest part about jumping in real estate investing is getting started. We perfect apology, and always have plenty of reason to delay the start of something new.
Yes, we want to be careful. Better put on the breaks and approach real estate with sufficient knowledge. So if you fight, here's my suggestion: learn, research and planning. Educate yourself about real estate investing, learn about real estate in General and more specifically about your particular property and draw up a road map for financial security do you hope to accomplish.
Then pick up that first property Rent to buy and then take over as Manager. If you stuck to your investment plan calculated figures correctly done your due diligence and work diligently to increase revenue and control costs, in time, you can move on to bigger and better properties.
In the end it is the nature of real estate investing.

Why investing in real estate?
Why you should invest in real estate? Well investing in real estate for profit is one of the most popular approaches to earn additional income in the United States today. In fact if you pay attention to the latest news you saw numerous reports of craze investment real estate seems to be sweeping the nation.
When done, carefully and rationally, real estate can bring fantastic benefits that cannot be achieved through any other type of investment. Here are some examples of why real estate investing can be a powerful generator of wealth.
1. real estate markets are slow to REACT, while real estate, like everything else, the ups and downs, it's usually a lot slower to react than the stock market. For example, you won't get up in the morning and find that your investment in real estate is worth ten or twenty percent less than yesterday.
2. leverage. You can borrow money to buy real estate, while generally not borrow money to buy stocks. You can control important dollar real estate with a small amount of their own money through loans and mortgages. In the stock market, the law limits the amount of leverage (margin) can be used to buy stocks. There are no such restrictions.
3. you can buy a property less than its market value. In many cases you can purchase the property for as low as 60-70% of market value. When buying shares, you'll find a stock that is considered "below cost" but overall, it's tough to do it on a regular and consistent basis.
4. real estate offers a huge number of tax advantages through depreciation. Real estate generally has two meanings, land and buildings on Earth. For example if the property is valued at $ 250000 and the assessed value of land is worth $ 75000, $ 175000 to the building.
The Government allows real estate investors to amortize the cost of buildings in equal shares for his "useful life", which is defined as 27.5. So, for example based on $ 175000 build a value above the annual amount of depreciation would be $ 6.363.63 ($ 175000 divided by 27.5). This means that for the purposes of taxation, investor will be able to reduce its annual income of $ 6.363.63!
Many people find the concept of depreciation to be misleading, since it really isn't a waste of money. I recommend you check with a qualified professional for more information and how it can benefit you.
5. isolated real estate markets of local markets. For example, when the stock market crashes, he takes down almost anything and everything related to it. When in the same city, such as New York falling home values, usually it does not affect the values of properties in other cities like Boston or Chicago. To protect yourself, you can have "a geographically diversified portfolio of investments in real estate" to hedge these types of events.
6. you can control the value Investor. Another aspect of real estate investments is that unlike any other investments buck is controlled by an investor. For example as an investor, you can increase the value of your investment property by making some changes to the properties, such as adding or replacing carpets garage etc. Stocks or any other investment, the investor can not do anything to increase the value of investments.
7. the efficient market hypothesis (EMH). When the market price, which is always "fully reflect" available information, it's called "effective". In the stock market for example is considered by most efficient market. When you call your broker to buy or sell a stock, you can be sure of one thing-the price you buy or sell shares to really was "correct" price for the shares in this day and time. Why? Since the current share price is already will involve and reflect all relevant available information about the company such as income and other indicators.
Real estate market is very inefficient. Unlike the stock market, real estate transactions a mechanism to detect "correct" price is left to the discretion of each buyer and seller to determine their own. There are almost always uncertainty about whether the price, the seller is too high or too low. In addition, there is usually little no available from analysts and research institutions (as when working with shares) in this regard. This inefficiency is really why such a great investment opportunity be smart and win real estate! But it requires experience and a sharp eye for good deals and great skill. This experience can be developed.
If done correctly, the real estate is probably one of the smartest investment you could ever make. I hope this short rambling provided you with a fresh view of the many benefits of real estate investing. So be smart, continue to learn and especially not to wait for some magical moment, just get started.
To your success!

Skills Investment real estate
Real estate investing is not in any list of optional courses high school. You can't get a degree accredited in real estate investing. You won't find high school or College guidance counselor who recommends a career in real estate investing (if the counselor's Guide understands real estate investing, he or she probably won't lead consultant!)
Public school system and education programmes in the United States is only a feeble attempt to prepare students to simply "get a job". Unfortunately there is no class in "making money 101." you don't have to make a "how to become financially independent." No teacher never taught a class in "how to succeed." when everyone Else failed I never learned nothing succeeding like businessman or become richer during my 10 years at the school of the University. I only became a millionaire when I learned skills real estate investing, and I paid in cash and outside the classroom for education. I learned these skills in the University of hard knocks ole, by trial and error.
Never disparage educational expenses. There is no free lunch. You gotta get this know-how outside the classroom, and learn to make money is gonna cost you. But if you think education is expensive, you should calculate the cost of ignorance!
However, the study real estate investing doesn't have to cost you an arm and a leg. Yes, I know, infomercials on TV real estate investing real estate investing seminars held around the country free of charge big bucks for these three-day seminars and week-long camps. But that's pocket change compared to fees, they want to collect from you later. Catch this fact: all the real estate investing infomercials and seminars are directed, you as a candidate for the "real estate investing coaching." that's where they charge you $ 25000 and $ 50.000 per year for "coaching." and often you are attributed to some kid, still wet behind the ears "to call you every week or month, hold your hand and whisper in your ear that common sense and persistent drive should already tell you! I'm not exaggerating the real estate investing education, because I know it inside and out. I personally know many of the so-called "gurus". I was next to it for 25 years. My opinion is that the fees charged are not because the organizers have found deep pockets in the market.
When I started my career in real estate investing 25 years ago, real estate investing TV infomercials were unknown and real estate investing seminars were extremely rare. Back, mark Haroldsen then emerging trend started Al Lowry and Nick Nickerson through occasional real estate investing seminars across the country. By Robert Allen expanded industry. Robert Allen encourage property investment conventions in major cities in the United States he found on the market of expensive property investment packages information from magazines and books of note. In subsequent years after the TV infomercials, expensive seminars and outlandish coaching fees. Potential property investment candidates today who want more than the inadequacy of salaries from the job in Dullsville often conclude that they must "pay through the nose" on the property investment know-how.
However, through a careful search, these want to bee often find this education in real estate investing more readily obtain from other sources than they previously imagined.
Real estate investing is probably one of the most easily learned skills never taught in school. Real estate investing is probably one of the most prolific careers available on planet Earth. Now that families live in homes instead of caves, houses available to fix up everywhere. And probably nothing contributes to modernization of the terrible housing across America, comparable to real estate investing for the correct properties.
Entrepreneur-minded aspirant who discovers the real estate investing industry often catches the vision of life-beyond-job. Books and online courses offer an alternative to expensive seminars and coaching.

Eight Tips for Getting Started in Real Estate Investing
Introduction
This article is just the basics for getting started in real estate investing. This is not a how to article but an article that gives you some information about things to do to get started. Everything in this article is tools that can be applied to helping anyone get started in real estate investing. I am going to give you my eight keys to getting started. Nothing is right or wrong but reflects the point of view of the author. Laws and legal practices vary from state to state, and laws can change over time. The author does not vouch for the legality of his opinions, nor is there any intent to supply legal advice. The author strongly encourages the reader to consult with professionals and an attorney prior to entering in any real estate transaction or contract. The author is not a writer but he is a real estate investor. There will be grammar mistakes and errors, so don't be too critical of the grammar but focus your energy on what is being said. With that said prepare yourself to think a little differently and expand your mind. Let's get started on an amazing adventure.
The Eight Tips are as follows
1. Desire
2. Goal Setting
3. Learning What To Do
4. Attending a Real Estate Investing Seminar
5. The Billings Montana Market
6. Finding a Mentor
7. Your Real Estate Team
8. Just Do IT
1. Desire
Before we get in to the bolts and nails of real estate investing in I want to talk to you about desire. If you are going to be successful at anything in life including real estate investing you have to have the desire to do it. Desire is defined as longing or craving, as for something that brings satisfaction or enjoyment. Desire stresses the strength of feeling and often implies strong intention or aim. In real estate investing if you don't have a desire to learn and grow as a human being and really get satisfaction out of it, then real estate investing is going to be hard to do. When I go out and look at a property it brings me a lot of enjoyment. Every aspect brings me joy from talking to home owners, figuring out how I can make a deal work, to buying the house and to finding a good homeowner or tenant for the house. Real estate investing may not be for everyone but real estate investing can offer anyone the financial freedom we all crave for. If you do not have the desire for real estate investing that is ok, it can still help you to live your dreams and help you to get where you want to go in the future.
Why is real estate investing an amazing avenue for anyone to live out all of their dreams? Let me ask you a few questions. Do you have enough money to do anything you want? Do you have everything you want? No debt? A nice house? Great Marriage? The freedom to do anything regardless of how much it costs and the time it takes? If you have all of these things then you are one of the few people in America who does. Most people may be working fifty hours a week and making just enough to pay their bills. In today's day and age most people are living pay check to pay check never really knowing if they will make enough to pay the bills that just keep piling up. If you cannot keep up with your monthly bills how are you going to plan for retirement or send your kids to college or have time to enjoy life. The answer to all of these questions is becoming financially free. Now it's not going to be easy everyone will have to get off the couch and out of their comfort zone. Real estate is proven to be one of the fastest ways to get your out of the rat race of the nine to five and begin living the life you deserve to live. Everyone wants something different out of their life. Some dream of traveling the world, spending more time with family, volunteering, golfing, laying on a beach, giving back to the community, or anything that will make them happy. There are thousands of things that make people happy.
Making it in real estate takes a person who has a strong desire to change their lives for the better and think big. Anyone can become a great real estate investor. It is going to take a lot of work and can be a struggle at times but in the end it will be the most amazing feeling ever. The people that make it in real estate investing all have a few things in common. First they run their real estate investing business like any other business out there. Second they get out there and network with anyone and everyone. Some people might be like me and have a hard time talking to other people. If you are that is ok, anyone can learn how to become a people person, it just takes hard daily work. You have to push yourself past your comfort zone. The third thing is that you cannot be afraid to fail. Everyone has failed at something but the most successful people out their learn from their failures. The fourth thing is that you have to put a good team together. I will go into putting a team together in a later chapter. The concept of putting a team together is so that when you don't know something you have team members that know what to do and can help you with questions. The can also make sure that you are not working yourself to death. You do not want to be the person doing everything in your business. Doing everything is a receipt for failure. You have to put together good people who you can trust and rely on. The fifth thing is that you need a mentor. Sixth and final is the desire to do it. No one can become successful at something if they don't want to do it and don't get satisfaction out of what they are doing.
2. Setting Goals
Having goals is one of the most important aspects of achieving what you want in life. You don't want to just have your goals up in your head you want to write them down and past what you have wrote on the wall somewhere or in the bathroom mirror. You want to review your goals daily and read them out loud to yourself. This way you remind yourself everyday why you are building your business.
How should you start to write down you goals? First off you should think big, and by big I mean HUGE. If your goals are too small you will easily achieve them and have nothing else to look forward too. You should start off by asking yourself the question if I had all the money and time in the world what would I do, what would I buy, how would I spend my time, and how would I spend my energy. Are you starting to write these down? Well you should be. Think about what you want, spending time with family, traveling the world, the best cars, a castle, owning a small country, running for president, having the biggest real estate investing business in your area or in the country. Whatever your dreams and what you want out of your life, write it down. Some of my goals are becoming free, traveling the world, having a Ferrari, having 10 vacation homes all over the world. Right now I am just trying to get you out of your comfort zone of thinking and let your imagination run.
There are several ways to set goals. I have learned a lot of ways you can set you goals and there is no right or wrong way. The best ways that I have found to set your goals is to break them up into two categories. First your short term goals. This should be goals from a month out to around a year. The second is your long term goals these goals are you think big goals and what you see for your future.
For year one I like to first make a list of what I want to achieve this year and I will give you an example of how to do that. For year one you want to be very specific first you want to list what you want your income to be at the end of the year, next how much cash in the bank you want (this is money in your checking account, not assets). Next you want to list how much you are going to give. Giving is a very important, this can be giving to charity, giving of gifts to friends and family, giving to your school or anything you can dream of. As long as what you give brings joy to others who need it more than you. Next list what bad habits you have that you want to eliminate. Weather is be quitting smoking, spending too much on junk, drinking too much, working too much, not spending enough time with family, too much TV, not exercising and many more. We all have bad habits that need to be changed in order for use to grow as human beings. Under each of these bad habits list out some steps that you can take in order to quit them. If you bad habit is being lazy and not exercising enough what can you do to change that. Well you can get a gym membership or a home work out program. Commit yourself you following through with a plan to work out 3-5 days a week. For you to change these bad habits you have to be totally committed and follow through with a detailed plan you set for yourself. After you have your plans in place you should start listing several things you want to achieve or do in the next year. This can be start a successful business, spend time with family, travel to 2-5 places and so on. Now under each of these you should also write a detailed plan on what you need and what you need to do in order to achieve these goals. Finally you should take all of this information you have a write on page on what you see your life being over the next year. Doing this is a great exercise to really see what you want out of life.
Goals Year One

Over Sleeping 1. Go to bed at 11 p.m. 2. Use a timer and set it for 8 hours 3. Set the timer on the other side of the room
Buying things that you don't need: 1. Going out shopping less 2. If you have the urge to buy something think to yourself is thing item going to help me to achieve my goals of becoming financially free? 3. Tell friends what you are doing, so they can help to stop you.
What I want to Achieve:
Start a successful Real Estate Investing Business: (you should write a detailed step by step plan of everything you need in order to achieve your goal)
Travel: Where do I want to visit? 1. Gators football game (what I need to do it, money, etc)
And last your own page about what you want to achieve using words like I will and only positive words.
For long term goals you don't need to be as specific right now, but you should list them and under them list a few steps or smaller goals that need to be achieved before you are able to achieve them. With the long term goals always think big. Another good exercise for long term goals is to make a collage of you goals. Put pictures of the house you want on it, places you want to travel, a picture of your family, a number of what income you want in or anything you can think of.
3. Learn
Knowledge builds confidence and destroys fear. If you are starting any kind of business you need to learn the ins and outs of that business. The best way I have found to learn about real estate investing is to read all about it. But once you know it you have to apply what you have learned. Learning and reading is just one step to take. There are thousands of books on the market about real estate investing and everyone has something you can learn from. You don't just want to read real estate investing books though. You also want to fill yourself with motivational and leadership books. Every successful person that I know if a reader and they all spend at least thirty minutes a day reading something that will teach them about improving their business or helping themselves to become a better person. Some of the best books that I would recommend reading are listed below.
1. Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki (read this first and also ready everything in the rick dad poor dad series, great books to start with and will expand you mind)
2. Be a Real Estate Millionaire by Dean Graziosi
3. Flip your way to financial freedom by Preston Ely (this is an E-Book)
4. Four hour work week by Timothy Ferriss
5. The Attractor Factor
6. Short Sale Pre-foreclosure Investing by Dwan Bent-twyford and Sharon Sestrepo
7. Keys to success, by Napoleon Hill
8. Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill
9. How to win friends and influence people
10. Any Book by John C. Maxwell (he has tons of amazing leadership books)
11. Getting Started in Real Estate Day Trading by Larry Goins
12. The E Myth by Michael Gerber
13. How to be a quick turn real estate millionaire by Ron Legrand
14. The Power of Full Engagement
15. The It Factor
16. Anything by Anthony Robins
There are tons more you can read but these will give you a great start. You should also read books on negotiating, sales, motivation, and biographies on American business people.
I hope this list gives you the knowledge it has given me. If you learn and apply what you have learned from these books there is no reason that you should not become very successful.
4. Attend a Real Estate Investing Seminar
Attending a Real Estate Investing Seminar can be one of the best places to learn about real estate investing from some very well known experts. There are several seminars going on all over the country every weekend. If you live in a big city it will be very easy to find one. If you live in a town like Billings Montana you might need to travel a little ways to find one. Now most of the best meeting cost money to attend them. Some range from five hundred dollars for three days and some can be up to $20,000. There are a few that I would recommend. Than Merrill is a great speaker to go hear. I have learned a ton from him. You can find his company online by Google searching him. Also rich dad poor dad has seminars all over the country. I attended one of their seminars in Billings Montana for only $500 dollars and learned a ton from it. There is also Preston Ely, Larry Goins, and hundreds of speakers out there. If you find a great book that you really enjoyed, then just simple search for that person online and see if they are speaking somewhere or offer a seminar close to you.
Another reason I recommend going to a seminar is because they get you pumped up and motivated. I have not yet found anything else that just gets you feeling like you can do anything. When you get back from one of these seminars you will have tons of energy and knowledge. Every time I get back from one all I want to do is going out and do a deal or ten.
These seminars will also provide you with several opportunities to purchase amazing real estate investing tools, software or learning material at a fraction of the cost. Believe me when I tell you all of the low priced seminars try to sell you something. But a lot of times what they are trying to sell is some really good stuff.
Another reason to attend a seminar is to network with other investors and build relationships with them. You can meet other investors who you can partner with on a deal, sell a deal too, people who will provide you with deals and so on. You should have hundreds of business cards made up and try to give them all out. You never know how much one business card you hand out can make you.
5. Learn About the real estate market in your area
Most real estate investors start their career off my investing around where they live. This is why I do my real estate investing in Billings Montana. You can venture out when you have more experience. The reason behind this is because we feel more comfortable with the areas and know the areas better. It is also easier to get local real estate information that we need. Investing in your local market is also cheaper to start out, there is less travel costs, you can see what you are buying and it may give you a feeling a comfort.
First you have to decide which part of town is the best place to invest in. This can be determined by what kind of real estate investing you choose to do. I have not gone over the types of real estate investing but some include rehabbing (fixing up and selling), wholesaling (finding deals and selling them to other investors), buying to rent, and there are a few others. These are the real estate strategies that I use for the most part. When looking at the market you need to see where other investors are buying their houses. Most of the best deals will be found in low to middle class neighbors hoods. By low I don't mean drug infested war zones, what I mean is blue collar safe neighbor hoods that might have somewhat older houses and houses that are not on the higher end price side. Now you can find deals in the higher priced neighbor hoods but most will be in the low to middle income neighborhoods. When looking where others are buying ask local realtors, other investors or appraisers.
When talking with investors ask them several questions such as what neighborhoods they prefer, what type of houses they buy (3 bed 2 bath), and what they do (rehab, rent, wholesale). You should not look at other investors as competition but try and work with them.
There are different types of markets such as appreciating markets, flat markets, and deprecating markets. Appreciating markets are markets that there is no enough houses or a very high demand for houses which causes the price of houses to go up. The reason there is a high demand for housing can be because of job growth, a very appealing area, or several reason. Flat markets are markets that have no or very little growth. This means that there is not a lot of demand; buy just enough to fill every ones needs. Depreciating markets are where there is a lot more houses than people to fill those house. This causes house prices to start going down. This can be because of a large employer leaving the area, a natural disaster or just over building. There is an old saying buy in a bust and sell in a boom. In depreciating markets you can pick up several deals, while in appreciating the house prices are going to be much higher and harder to find great deals. The deal will still be out there you just have to know where to find them.
Learning your market is another key to becoming successful. Real estate Brokers and experts in your area can be the best source of information for you. Learn to use them to find out what kind of market you are in. If you are in Billings Montana we are in a pretty stable market. Billings Montana has not seen the ups and downs that other markets have experienced. I will have to say that I have been noticing a little bit of a downward trend but not much. Once the first time home buyer credit is over with we might see a little more decline. Every market can vary by neighborhood, so make sure you know you market well. I have seen the same houses just one mile apart selling for totally different prices.
6. Find a Mentor
Having a mentor to help you can be your biggest learning experience. Mentors can help you with any questions you may have, walk you step by step through the investing process, give you moral support, you learn from their proven system, and also network you with others in the business. Every successful real estate investor that I know says they owe a lot of their success to the mentors they have and had in their lives. I have had one of the best mentors around, my father. He is teaching me something new every day and pushing me to become successful.
When trying to find a mentor I would suggest network with the investors at your local real estate investors club meeting. There is a real estate investing club in Billings Montana that meets once a month. You can find information about real estate investing clubs in your area by searching for REA or real estate investors club then your area in Google. When you go to the meetings ask around who the biggest investors are. Then ask if you could get together with them sometime and discuss real estate investing. Ask them if they would consider working with you to get their career going. Offer your services as a bird dog. Bird dogs are people who go out find deals or leads about deals and give them to other investors. A bird dog gets from $500 to $3000 dollars depending on the deal. Make sure that you have a bird dog contract signed with the investors saying that if you find them and deal and they buy it that you get paid a certain amount of money. Being a bird dog helps you to build credibility with the investor and they are more likely to mentor you if you have something to offer them. If you would like to contact me with a question go to my web site Big Sky Property Solutions LLC.
7. Your Real Estate Team
Building an effective team can make your life as a real estate investor a lot easier. You are only one person and cannot do everything or be an expert in every aspect of real estate investing. Going at a project alone can become one of the most frustrating experiences you will ever encounter. Many people have become frustrated and quite real estate investing because they try and juggle too many things. Make sure that when putting a team together you provide everyone with win-win opportunities. When someone knows that working with you is going to make them money they will put you as a higher priority on their list. But you have to prove it to them that you are the real deal.
People to have on your real estate investing team include
o Real Estate Agents ( find the top agent for volume of sales in your area and other agents who work with real estate investors)
o Real Estate appraisers (find an appraiser that has done a few hundred jobs or more and make sure they carry errors and omissions insurance)
o Real estate contractors (good rehab crews that can get the job done in a timely manner, have 3-5 crews and on every deal get 3 estimates done. Ask for referrals from them and make sure they are licensed)
o Real estate attorneys (every investor needs an attorney, they can help to protect your assets, make sure you find one that works with investors)
o A property management company (can manage your properties and will give you leads on property they are managing that might come up for sale)
o Title companies (take care of the legal process and make sure there are no liens against the property you are buying, choose one that does hundreds of closings a year)
o Home inspectors(charge about $400 but will give you a great inspection and could save you thousands in the long run)
o And your Mentor
All of these people can help you in various aspects of real estate investing. You might find that there are a couple others that are keys to your business but this is just a list of a few.
8. Just Do it
There is no better phrase out there then JUST DO IT! Once you have learned all you can networked with investors in Billings and learned real estate investing strategies there is nothing left to do but get your feet wet. There is no better learning tool out there then doing a deal. Once you have completed that first deal you will know what to expect and find out that it is not as hard as you thought it would be. You will have learned what you did right and what was frustrating. Take that experience and ask yourself what would have made it run smoother. Apply that to your next deal. Then the next deal will be easier and it keeps getting easier as you go. I will say that every deal is different from the last but that what makes this business fun. You have to be creative and always keep on learning and growing with your business.
The average person never uses what they learn. Don't be average apply your knowledge. When going out and doing your first deal act like you have done 1000's of deals. The fastest way to change a habit is to act like it is true.
Five keys for success
1. Specialized Knowledge
2. Tools of a professional
3. Have the mindset of a winner
4. Mentors
5. Money and the knowledge of leveraging it (you don't have to have millions to invest in real estate, there are many strategies out there to use other people's money, or no money at all)

Real Estate investing books, TV Infomercials and seminars
Real estate investing has become popularized today from real estate investing TV infomercials and traveling seminar circuits. But real estate investing has not always been so popular.
In the 1960s, wrote William Nickerson, "how I turned $ 3 million in real estate" and "how to make good luck today, starting from scratch. He was one of the first real estate Investment books to get national attention. A little later the author, "Lowry Al how you can become financially independent, investing in real estate." Al Lowry could be called the "father of modern real estate seminars," because he was the first to hold seminars on his book sales.
But it was Marc Haroldsen, who held office real estate investing books/seminar focus to the next level. Haroldsen wrote: how to wake up a financial genius inside you. "If you have set up in the property investment at that time, you remember, newspaper and magazine advertising, image is suave and bald-headed character, leaning against the front hood of his Mercedes. Picture everywhere appeared in full page ads in major publications. And as mark began to sell his books, he began conducting property investment seminars. I had lunch with an Al Lowry as they swapped stories about advertising is that vaulted them into national prominence for their real estate investing prowess. Mark later wrote "the courage to be rich" and "Tax Free".
But Robert Allen, are capitalised in previous framework Lowry and Haroldsen. Robert Allen reportedly was paid for his popular book, "Nothing down» Handbook of 50 methods without money to buy real estate royalty advance to $ 1 million. Robert learned these methods from several years of experience with the firm's commercial real estate. Later wrote "building wealth" and "getting started in Real Estate Investing". Robert Allen Real Estate Investing seminars became phenomenal marketing Bonanza. Conventions were held in major cities across the country, like Orlando, LA, Dallas, Chicago and Atlanta. Authors of the various objects of real estate investing techniques made at these seminars, but their spiel, dedicated to selling real estate, investment materials packages which they offer for sale. Million United States property investment materials were sold on the 3rd day. Frenzy Convention marked what has since become known as "nothing down real estate movement" in the early to mid-1980s.
I keep all these books in my personal library, and you probably can still find them in your public library and bookstores. There are a lot of useful information in these books that can make you very knowledgeable, even if some of the ideas are outdated.
We are currently represented in different ways to make money in real estate investing in TV infomercials for books and seminars. Which is better? Who can say? Real estate investing is learned through trial and error. Real estate investing skills and techniques acquired practice. I don't think anybody can recommend method best dogmatically to another person. Every real estate investor has unique needs and unique situation. Aim real estate investing is different.
However, if you are limited to real estate investing education dollars and need to get a quick return on investment, I think fixing of cheap houses is the ideal starting point. Real estate investing in properties generates fast makeover profitable dollars with low risk.

3 things you must do to succeed in real estate investing
Here are three simple guidelines to be followed if you plan to succeed in real estate investing. It's not all, of course, but at least you should be willing to take these things if you want to become a successful real estate investor.
Should we get stared?
Recognize the basics
Real estate investing involves the acquisition, holding and sale of real property rights for using the flow of cash for potential future cash flows, thus favourable rate of return on investments.
More profitable, then stock investment (which usually require more investor equity) investment in Realty advantage real estate strongly. In other words with investments in real estate, you can use other people's money to increase your rate of return and monitor much more investment than you would otherwise. In addition to rental property, you can practically use other people's money to repay your loan.
But in addition to the shoulder, real estate investing offers other benefits for investors such as yield of annual after-tax cash flows, capital accumulation through appreciation of assets and cash flow after tax on the sale. Plus-monetary returns such as pride of ownership, security that you control property and portfolio diversification.
Of course the capital required, there are risks associated with investing in real estate and real estate investment property can be labor intensive management. Nevertheless, real estate investing is a source of wealth, and that should be enough motivation for us to want to get better at it.
Understand the elements return
Real estate has not acquired, held or sold on emotions. Real estate investing is not Novel; the return on investment. Thus reasonable real estate investors always consider these four basic elements return to determine the potential benefits of purchasing, holding or selling income property investment.
1. cash flow-the amount of money that comes from rent and other revenues less of what is outside the operating expenses and debt servicing (payment on the loan) defines properties for cash. Besides real estate investing this property investment cash flow. You purchase a property rental income stream, so make sure that you rely on at a later date to calculate the cash flow of accurate and reliable.
2. Welcomes with satisfaction the increase in property values is time or future sale price minus the original purchase price. Understand the fundamental truth about gratitude, that real estate investors buy a stream of income from investment property. Worth it for a reason, so that more income, you can sell, what you can expect that your property is worth. In other words the risk increases revenue and throw it in your decision-making process.
3. Loan Amortization-this involves periodic reduction loan over time, leading to an increase of capital. Since lenders evaluate rental property based stream of income when purchasing multifamily real estate, creditors are now a clear and concise reports cash flow. Properties with the income and expenses accurately represented the lender to increase the chances of investor will receive favourable financing.
4. tax shelter-this means the legitimate use of the property investment to reduce annual or final income taxes. There is no one-size-fits-all, although reasonable real estate investor should check with the expert tax to for an investor, what the current tax laws in any particular year.
Do your homework
1. form right attitude. Dispel the thought that investing in rental, like buying a home and develop a relationship that real estate investing is a business. Look beyond curb appeal, exciting amenities and desirable floor plans, if they contribute to revenue. Focus on the figures. "Only women are beautiful," investor once told me. "What are the numbers?
2. develop objective investment property with meaningful targets. Make a plan with the stated purposes, that the best shots of your investment strategy; This is one of the most important elements of successful investing. What you want to achieve? When you want to achieve? How much cash you are ready to invest comfortably, and what are you hoping to create a profit?
3. market research. Understanding as much as you can about the real estate market conditions, surrounding property rental, you want to buy an approach is necessary and reasonable to real estate investing. Learn about property values, rents and occupancy rates in your area. You can consult a qualified real estate professional or speak with the county tax assessor.
4. find out conditions and return, and how to calculate them. Get familiar with the nuances of real estate investing and learn terms, formulas and calculations. There are websites that provide free information.
5. consider investing in real estate investing software. Having the ability to create your own analysis properties Rental gives you more control on how are numbers of cash and a better understanding of the profitability of the property. There are online software providers.
6. create relationships with professional real estate that knows the local real estate market and understands the rental property. It will not help your investment objectives, spend time with the agent, if the person knows about property investment and properly prepared to help you make the right purchasing it. Work with specialist investment real estate.
There you have it. As a brief insight into real estate investing as I could have imagined without boring you to death. Just take them to heart with a dash of common sense and you'll do just fine. Here's to your success in investment.

But somehow more investors private property seemed to have escaped any mishap. And some developers and investors are even bull on the future.
"We have $ 800 million worth of projects underway in Queensland and Victoria and none have been affected by the floods," said David Devine, co-founder of subway, property development advises The Australian.
We have apartments high-rise in the hills of Bowen, Indooroopilly, South Brisbane and Fortitude Valley and escaped damage by flooding.
When asked if he thought he had luck, Mr Devine said: "no luck, I have a good understanding of where things should be built." "We do our research".
Mr Devine sold their shares of his former company Devine Ltd to Leighton Holdings last year.
His current business partner, Ken Woodley, was also purchased in agreements that saw men walk with 6.3 million $ and $1. 9 m respectively. Metro property development aims to become world's largest Australia independent property developer.
"I have tremendous sympathy for those affected by the floods, but actually not as bad as what happened in 1974,", he said.
"The level of cleanliness has been significant and it will be necessary to have some infrastructure works, but I think that in a week the CBD will be back to normal".
Developer of private property and former Olympic swimmer Mark Stockwell says only Riverpoint group in the extreme west apartments have water in the basement. The flooding did not reach the residential floors, said.
"Water has now all have bombeadas and there was some damage to the electricals, fixed now."
"Nobody thought that a flood would hit Queensland again."
Mr Stockwell was claims the Brisbane City Council would have to change its rating of Q100. (Q100 rating is a "point of reference in 100 year flood").

While Mr Stockwell believes that it is difficult to predict the future of the real estate in Queensland in the next 6 to 12 months, he believes the Bank of the River property prices are not affected by the flooding remains stable.
"If your property has not been affected by the flooding there is no reason for the price decrease", said. "The key to the future will see if people want to start again and if so, rental demands increase as they expect from their new homes to be built or who want to return to its existing premises."
"Insurance companies will hardly be standing with open cheque and may take up to six months before appears any money."
"The reality is the property industry still is feeling the effects of the GFC and while you can see short consumption in the construction industry, I don't think it will change the perspective long term".
Jonathan Levy, Director Ejecutivo of Queensland to the unison properties of billionaire John van Lieshout, says the only property affected is furniture Oxley Super A-Mart store It was flooded, causing a loss of stock to the lessee, and various facilities and accessories should be replaced.
"We have around 50 properties and only one affected by what we were very fortunate," said Mr Levy. "We have done much research before buying property, looking at potential areas of people affected by floods, and it has paid off."
"Always check the Q100 and despite level of buy some properties in the P50 level were always sure that was going to survive".

"Perth should be return to levels 8 to 10% in year".
It is not surprising that Dr. Wilson said that floods crisis dissuade buyers of Queensland.
"Floods will definitely be they impede carte in Queensland and emphasize the negative sentiment of consumers nationwide for a few months", affirms.
However, the long-term Outlook for the overall market of State-owned are positive, he said.
