Buying Investment Property
Creative
A purchase is not all about price. It is a complex mix of terms, timing, financing and price. Our experience in creative structuring and financing of deals to make the purchase work for everyone is available to you. Operating in a world of win-win situations we know the world is abundant. There have been times that a deal wasn’t working for everyone and through some creative thinking we make the deal work for everyone. The creative part of this business is where we add the art to the science of real estate.
Wealth
You probably know that wealth protection, creation and growth are the biggest reasons people invest in real estate. However, you may not know that there are certain types of properties that are better suited to meet this objective for you. We work with you to identify which types are best matched for your personality.
Flipping
Flipping is when you are buying the house to add some type of value or take advantage of some arbitrage opportunity and then sell it. The critical component to successful flipping is to be clear with your objective, to move quickly in executing your plan and to get it back on the market and sold. Buying at the right combination of terms and price creates the right basis or foundation for the profit you intend to make.
Being investors ourselves, we are able to have a different conversation with you than someone who is not an investor. We are able to be your reality check and share our resources and experiences with you so you accomplish your goals. At first, flipping might seem like a good idea – but it really depends on the type of person you are.
Cash Flow
Residual or Passive Income is one of the most attractive features of real estate investing. To make money while on vacation, while sleeping or spending time on your career, business or passion is a dream come true for many people. We are very experienced in a variety of cash flow options in real estate. They include the most hand-off investments to those where you can be an actively involved Landlord. A good situation for one client may not be one that works for you. Although we do focus on the return-on-investment and measurement of positive cash flow, we really explore how the different options affect your life and your preferences/style.
IRA/401K
Most people don’t know that you can buy specific real estate with your IRA, Roth IRA, 401K, etc.? We are experts in this arena. Although the rules are very strict, it can be an incredibly lucrative way to invest for both the short term AND the long term. There are many tax minimization or elimination strategies that we can share with you as you identify what works best for you. There are banks that will now finance your real estate purchase with your IRA, as well as partnerships you can create or even finance the purchase of investments for others. This type of investing makes things possible that otherwise would not be.
