Commercial Real Estate Investment Articles

If you are new to real estate investing, you may know that there is a lot of money to be made in real estate. What you may not realize is that you do not have to put your own money at risk to get started. In fact, you can often get started with little or even no money down.

Finding and keeping a good long-term customer does more for your financial wealth than a “one shot/one profit” deal. If you do one cash deal, you get one check. But a long-term, good-paying customer will make you payments for many years. So regardless what business you’re in, if you want to be successful, you should focus on repeat business from your best customers. I don’t know about you, but I’m finding it harder and harder to find people with a decent credit history. I would guess that I wade through at least 12 to 15 calls before I get one that I’ll even take the time to show a home to. I don’t know if there are more irresponsible dead-beats in the world now, or if I’m just meeting more of them.

After a year of learning from this site, I purchased Big Profits with Lease Options. I just got home from setting up an escrow account, and I am so excited, I had to write you the details.

I actually completed these deals back in November but just got around to writing them up now. My first success story is, $24,000 Cash, $138,000 Equity and More. This will give you a little more info on my background and experience. As in my first deal, two properties and two different financing plans came into play on this deal. It started when I saw an ad in the paper from an individual who had four properties listed with his name and phone number. The one that caught my eye was 3-bedroom, 1.5-bath house that was rented for $350 with an asking price of $25,000.
