"We purchased a property in Florida for $5oo. We sold it for $2,500! When we purchased it we didn't think it would be of much value due to id being in wetlands, however the buyer purchased it and used it for agricultural purposes."
"The buyer paid us $1,000 down cash and will pay the balance off through monthly payments for four years. We will profit over five thousand dollars after all expenses, which is about 667% profit return on investment!... "

Title companies first started appearing in the United States in the late nineteenth century as a way to protect buyers against uncertainties about who really owned the land they were buying. In order to determine that the title being sold is “clear” that there’s no confusion or dispute about who actually has the right to sell it, the title company does what’s called a title search.
Are Craigslist and eBay still good places for real estate investors to buy and sell property? I say, YES! But you need to know the right techniques and strategies to increase your visibility online and sell your properties fast, even in today’s market. One excellent way to broaden your market and increase your pool of buyers is to offer seller financing. Seller financing used to be much more common a few decades ago when interest rates were much higher, but it never went away totally and it’s making a come-back these days in our post-housing-bubble period. Offering seller financing means you, the owner, are acting in place of the bank – instead of a buyer going to a bank to get a traditional mortgage (which is hard for many people to do these days) – you, the owner work out payment terms with the buyer and effectively finance the deal yourself.
“Should I rent or buy?” is a question I get asked a lot these days. As always it depends on so many personal factors and the specifics of your market. But I found this news to be very interesting: according to a recent study by the real estate website Trulia.com, home ownership is actually cheaper than renting – at least in the case of a two bedroom home – in 72% of major US cities. That’s right, owning is cheaper than renting in most cities in America!
Everybody loves an auction. Buyers love them because they think there are deals to be had and sellers love them because they think they can get more for their property. But is all this love really justified? Remember, there will always be costs associated with putting your property up for auction. The auction house will charge their commission on the sale plus a fee REGARDLESS of how (or even if) your property sells. You need to make sure you’re aware of all these costs up front.
What is a real estate investing club? These are organizations of people who are interested in meeting together to find the best real estate investing opportunities. In most cases these clubs do not pool their resources to make investments but exist more for networking, exchanging ideas and tips and entering into deals with each other to find and execute successful real estate investment opportunities. Often, these clubs might have workshops or some kind of training that can help people who are just starting real estate investing. It’s easy to find real estate clubs online in your area. Make sure to attend a few meetings before you commit to anything and, if possible, see if there’s anything about the group online that you should be aware of. But mostly, make sure you have a good sense of these people. It should feel right.
