Is Real Estate Investing Right for You?

Investing in property is simply another form of investment. Buyers can invest directly by purchasing property individually, or indirectly by investing in a managed fund or timeshare. Although real estate agents may understand the property market, prospective buyers should still seek independent advice, because property investment may not be right for everyone.

What to Know Before You Buy

Don't fall for pressure-selling techniques and high-pressure seminars

Some sales people can be extremely persuasive and persistent. They often use gimmicks like offering you a "once in a lifetime opportunity".

Determine your overall financial plans

Think about what you want to achieve financially and how soon you want to achieve it.

Understand the risks involved

All investments carry risks. Make sure you are comfortable with the risks associated with a particular investment.

Get advice

Decide whether or not you need professional advice. If you're dealing with a financial advisor make sure they're licensed.

Investing directly or indirectly

You can invest directly or indirectly in many assets, including real estate, through a managed fund. Time- shares are a type of managed investment.

Do your homework

Find out as much as possible about any investment you are making. Make sure you really understand the pros and cons of choosing a particular investment asset. Weigh the advantages and disadvan- tages against your financial goals.

Consult with your accountant

There may be tax issues to consider that you may not be aware of. Once you've decided to take the leap and purchase investment property, be sure to read and keep all documents you receive about your investment. If your asset is being managed by someone else, make sure they keep you updated on all pertinent information. Reputable investment managers will be happy to answer your questions and will expect you to take an interest in your investments.

6 Investment Tips You Can Use!

1. Hire and pay for skilled workers to do your renovations.
2. Location. Location. Location. Invest in the best location you can afford.
3. Be affordable for tenants by buying small and staying small.
4. Look at a property for what it can be, not for what it is.
5. Focus on the money coming in and going out - not the cap rate.
6. Don't go unique - choose rental properties that will appeal to anyone.

7. One More Thing...

   Real Estate Investment Trusts
   
   Real estate investment trusts, known as REITs, are entities that invest in different kinds of real estate or real estate related assets, including shopping centers, office buildings, hotels, and mortgages secured by real estate.
   
   There are basically three types of REITS:
   
   Equity REITS, the most common type of REIT, invest in or own real estate and make money for investors from the rents they collect.
   
   Mortgage REITS lend money to owners and developers or invest in financial instruments secured by mortgages on real estate.
   
   Hybrid REITS are a combination of equity and mortgage REITS.
   
   The Internal Revenue Code lists the conditions a company must meet to qualify as a REIT. For example, the company must pay 90% of its taxable income to shareholders every year. It must also invest at least 75% of its total assets in real estate and generate 75% or more of its gross income from investments in or mortgages on real property.
   
   Many REITs trade on national exchanges or in the over-the-counter market. REITs that are publicly traded must file reports with the SEC, such as quarterly and annual filings.

8. The Trivia Block

   What term refers to the unauthorized intrusion of a building or improvement onto another persons property?
   
   Such an intrusion is called an encroachment, and it often requires a surveyor's report of the property to support the claim.

Can a Comparative Market Analysis Help You?

To get the most accurate estimate of how much you should list your property for, your real estate agent can provide you with a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA). A CMA is an informal estimate of market value, based on sales of comparable properties in your area. It generally takes into account various aspects of your home, including size, features and annual costs. Reviewing comparable homes that have sold within the past year, along with the listing or asking price on current homes for sale, should help you determine a fair sale price for your property.

CMAs can include homes that are currently for sale and those which have recently sold. They can cover areas as narrow as one or two streets surrounding your home, or as broad as an entire subdivision.

Most real estate agents will give you a CMA for free, hoping you'll list your home with them. Each CMA contains valuable information on several recent sales, including:

• How long each property stayed on the market
• How close the sale price was to the asking price
• Notes comparing each home to yours, i.e.; number of bedrooms and baths, approximate square footage, sizes of major rooms, amenities such as fireplaces and pools, age of the home, property taxes and more.

The CMA is an informative selling tool, but like any tool, it doesn't work by itself. For this reason, the CMA will always need to be interpreted by a professional or with complete objectivity by the seller or buyer.

Remember, too, that the CMA is also a buying tool; it is considered just as seriously by the buyer and his or her agent. As you and your agent are going to use the CMA to ask the highest possible price for your home, the buyer is going to use it to find reasons to either choose or eliminate your home, and to arrive at the lowest price possible.

Important Questions to Ask

Important Questions to Ask an Agent Before Listing Your Home for Sale

• Do you have an active real estate license in good standing?
• How long have you been licensed as an agent?
• Why do you think I should list with you?
• What professional designations do you hold?
• What party will you represent -- the buyer or the seller?
• What services do you offer?
• Do you belong to an online home buyer's search service?
• Have you listed or sold in my neighborhood lately?
• How will you price my home?
• How will you market my home?
• How will you keep in contact with me during the selling process, and how often?
• What is your fee?
• Will you cooperate with buyers' brokers?
• What share of commission will you offer a cooperating broker who finds the buyer?
• What awards have you won?

Important Questions to Ask Yourself About the Agent

• Is the agent a good listener?
• Is the agent accessible?
• Is the agent part-time or full-time?
• Is the agent cooperative and enthusiastic, or rude and arrogant?
• Do you think you can have a good working relationship with the agent?

Sellers: Protect yourself and your home

Never allow random house-hunters into your home unescorted. A serious buyer will be working with a real estate professional or should be willing to contact your agent to schedule an appointment. Also, always lock your valuables away before an open house - the agent on site will be monitoring traffic, but it's impossible to be everywhere at all times.
