The Real Estate Investment Process

 
Step One: Contact Us
Please contact us using the form on the right of this page, or by using the full form on our Contact Us page.  We will review your submission and contact you as soon as possible.   Please be as detailed as you can, because the more information you share with us, the quicker finding your home will be.  Use these questions as your guide: What are your real estate goals? What type of financing do you need?  What type of properties would you like to look at: single family homes, duplexes, apartment complexes, or condos?  What is your timeline; when do you think you will be ready to purchase? Will you rehab, live in, rent, flip, or sell the home you purchase?  And so on.  Answers to questions like these make the process easier, quicker, and more productive.  Remember that there is no risk, fee, or obligation in contacting us.   We are here to help, and if for whatever reason we can not do so, we will help you  find someone else who can.

 

Step Two: Goal Setting
The only way to set real estate goals is by knowing exactly what you want to accomplish.  Your plan could be simple; say you just want to purchase a home to live in at a discount.   Perhaps your plan is more complex; say you want to purchase many investment properties, with none of your own money.  Either way, you need to figure out how to get there, and this is where we can help.  We know the ins and outs of the real estate market and have the contacts needed to get the deal done.  Once you determine your plan, we can help you see it through to fruition.

 

Step Three: Money
Money is the most important factor in real estate; without money, or access to it, you will be unable to purchase anything.  We help our clients find appropriate funding sources: whether it's through a normal lender, an investment lender, or private funding through hard money lenders or other investors.  Access to money depends on either your current financial situation, or on how the deal is structured.  Though buying homes with no money and no credit is both quite complex, and difficult to accomplish, it is possible.  This is why, regardless of your financial situation, you should contact us to discuss your options.  We can help make your dreams a reality.

 

Step Four: Property Search
Searching for properties that meet your specific criteria is just part of buying an investment home.  Quite often, it will take viewing many properties, and making multiple offers to get one under contract.  Remember that investment homes are not a mainstream part of the real estate market, most properties listed aren't investments, and anyone can pay full price for a home!  If, however, you wish to make tens of thousands of dollars from your purchase, it will take a bit of unconventional effort.  Fortunately, you don't have to do it alone!  We specialize in finding individuals and investors investment properties.  When you do contact us, please include what type (single family home, condo, apartment complex, etc.) of property you are looking for.  Not only will we search for properties the "old fashioned" way, (on the MLS) we will first check with our network of real estate agents, lenders, banks, and nvestors to see if they have any properties you might be interested in.  There is no risk or obligation in utilizing our services and we look forward to helping you search for, and find, a property.

 

Step Five: The Purchase
Purchasing a home or investment can be a life changing experience.  It certainly is a self- confidence booster, and quite often is a financial booster as well.  We help our clients make offers on properties, and close on the deal.  We also help our buyers with contracts, contingences, and closing, and connect them with the professionals they need such as appraisers, inspectors, contractors, and lenders.  We do all we can to make the purchase of a new home or investment streamlined and painless.   We look forward to helping you with your new purchase.

 

Step Six: Live in, Repair, Rent, or Sell
The final step in the home-buying process is completely up to you.  Will you live in the house, rehab it, rent it, or sell it?  The answer to that question should be based on your original goals.  Some buyers purchase an investment home to get rid of high interest debt, and simply roll their 20-30% debt into their home equity, so are now paying as little as 5%.  This alone saves them hundreds of dollars each month!  We have also seen other buyers rehab houses to either sell them for a nice cash payout, or rent them out for a nice monthly cash flow.  There are many other possibilities to share with you when you contact us.  We look forward to helping you achieve your goals in 2010; whether you are looking to buy one property, or one hundred.
