Many investors who ended up losing a ton of money during the real estate crash and are probably still losing money today. Hopefully you’re not one of them, but if you are, here’s how to make sure you don’t make the same mistake again.

We believe that it is important for real estate investors to embody and hone in one skill sets that top real estate investors practice.

Real Estate Investors have home work:

There are many that have lost lots of money in real estate investments because they were not careful in planning stage. There is a very steep learning curve for those starting in real estate investing. Here are some things to keep in mind before you get started on your journey.  So take your time to determine what are your financial goals and the time frame in which you want to achieve them. Remember to be realistic. With the current real estate market, chances are you will not become a millionaire in six flips.

Know about the type of property you want:

If you want a bank-owned property, focus on bank owned property. If you like 3 family homes located within a 6 miles radius from your local college, then be stick to that area, Remember lack of focus in your investing will make you feel like you are running around blindfolded. So get focused and get results.


Look for the right location:


If you buy a property with hopes of renting it out, location is key. Homes in high-rent or highly populated areas are ideal, stay away from rural areas where there are fewer people and a small pool of potential renters. Also, look for homes with multiple bedrooms and bathrooms in neighborhoods that have a low crime rate.

Realist Real Estate Investors:

Sure, we are in one of the best buyer’s markets of all times.  Yes, there are a lot of distressed properties that need rehab and there are a lot of homeowners upside in their current situations.  But that doesn't mean that every offer you make is going to get accepted.  Remember, it is a numbers game in real estate.  The amount of contracts you get signed is equally proportionate to amount of offers you make.
