    Description

    There are various strategies that you may learn in real estate investing

     

    The current pandemic causes historic changes in the U.S economy. In the first quarter of 2020, consumer spending, which supports 70% of the economy, seems to be in halt. The mobility of people is regulated to prevent the spread of the virus. The interest rates are cut to almost zero and huge stimulus packages are launched as government’s initiatives. Due to these changes, it may be wise to invest your money in opportunities that may increase its value.

     

     

    Economic effects of the crisis

    Most economists are preparing for post-pandemic inflation. Shutdown policies were implemented across the countries. The unexpected changes left the economy on temporary freeze. Some businesses stopped their operation and laid off employees. The production of goods and rendition of services slowed down due to restrictions in transportation. These factors necessitated the passage of stimulus packages and printing of money. 

     

    Turning crisis into opportunity

    Real estate market opens a good investment opportunity despite the presence of a global crisis. The ATTOM Data Solution U.S Home Sales Report shows that home sellers realized a gain of $75,971 on the typical sale despite the coronavirus outbreak. The result represents a 36.3% return on investment compared to the original purchase value of 34.5% in the first quarter of 2020. Real estate investing may be a good avenue for you if you think long term, subject to your due diligence. Here are the 4 strategies in real estate investing that you may want to explore:

     

    No. 1: Fix-and-flip

    Fix-and-flip is the method of purchasing a property, fixing it through renovation and repairs, then selling it for a more valuable price. It is a profitable business strategy as long as you are using the proper cost-effective analysis in dealing with your subject properties. It is highly-suitable in houses of range conditions, whether distressed or slightly used.

    In the second quarter of 2019, the total volume of houses flipped in terms of dollars reached $8.4 billion. A study concludes that Texas is a top area in flipping properties. Austin, Dallas-Forth Worth and San Antonio were included in the top 5 markets with the highest percentage of completed flipping projects out of the 53 Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSA).

    No. 2- Rentals

    Rental strategy is preferable to investors who want a fixed source of income. Here, you will keep the property either in long-term or short-term period, subject it under the lease, and rent it out for a fee.

    Home rental is in demand to many people, especially to family. The 2019 Rental Affordability Report shows that renting a three-bedroom property is more affordable than buying a median-priced home in 59% of the counties. The study also reveals that rental is more popular and affordable in most populated counties including Los Angeles County, California; Cook County Chicago, Illinois and Harris County Houston, Texas.

     

    No.3 : Bird-dog strategy

    Bird-dog strategy describes a hunting dog looking for prey of birds shot by the hunter.

    In real estate, it refers to a person who searches and looks for clients, properties, and motivated sellers and locates them for investment proposals.

     

    No.4: Wholesale

    It means finding properties for purposes of reselling the same to a better price. In wholesale contracts, you need to negotiate a price with the seller and sell the properties for a higher price with the buyer.

     

    The Common Denominator

    The common denominator among the strategies is the need to have an in-depth negotiation and marketing skills. Engaging in real estate investing requires making an assessment, talking to clients, preparing a market value analysis, persuading buyers, and closing a deal. These tasks are surely time-consuming but will definitely prove its worth.
