Short-Term Real Estate Investments with Long-Term Resultsre
One short-term method of real estate investing that is very popular among neophyte investors today is called wholesaling houses. In this business, investors are able to buy and sell houses within just a matter of weeks. Some experts can even close transactions in days. That is how fast this mode of making real estate investments is done. Apart from the time frame, what makes it more exciting and attractive is the capital required – or the lack of it. Wholesalers can market properties without buying them first. They do this by placing the house under a contract between the buyer and the seller. The agreement states that the buyer – who in this case is the wholesaler – will purchase the house within a given period of time. The buyer will forfeit his small money deposit if he does not buy the house within the specified time frame. However, the contract does not oblige the buyer to purchase the house; it only gives him the right to. From this point, wholesalers look for an interested party and assign the contract, and therefore the right to buy the house, to that buyer. He will solicit a fee for the assignment. This short-term method can have a lasting effect in the life of the investor if it is done repeatedly. Experts recommend that beginners wholesale at least one property a month. If you can earn $10,000 from each assignment, that’s $120,000 a year. That amount is already huge considering the effort and capital required in starting this business. Just how much does it really take to start making real estate investments through wholesaling? That will depend on how much deposit you make. If the seller agrees to a $10 deposit – and this is a common occurrence in today’s market given the abundance of motivated sellers in the market – then you’ll need a $10 capital. Some sellers want $100, others can ask for as much as $500 or even bigger. The important thing to remember here is to repeat the same process. Wholesale houses over and over again until you are able to gather a healthy bank account. You can then use the money for long-term investments.
