Brown and West Investment Strategies

BASIC LOCAL INVESTMENT INFO

Why would you want to invest with a realtor who does not invest in real estate themselves? These are the methods that we use to make money in real estate.

1. Ultra cheap fixer upper mobile homes located in resort areas bought below market prices and sold for a 30% to 50% profit. If you are new to investing in real estate or don't have much to spend these are a great place to get started. Potnets and the other local mobile park communities offer hundreds of fixer uppers that you can make quick money on.

2. Ugly but solid homes brought back to life with fresh paint, new carpet, landscaping and new fixtures, which can either be rented out or sold for a profit. Over a few years you can accumulate five or more of these and bring yourself a retirment income of well over $10,000.00 a month for the rest of your life. The more propertys you buy, the more you will make. 10 rental homes could bring you a retirement income of over $20,000.00 a month. The sky is the limit.

3. TEAR DOWN (Prime real estate location, lousy house) Tear it down and put a new home on the lot. The property value on many waterfront lots, far exceeds the value of the house. If the house is in bad repair simply have it removed and have a new one built in it's place. This is a easy way to double your money.

4. New homes in the first phase of a new housing development in a rapidly appreciating market. These can be sold for a huge profit. How would you like to make $100 K plus for doing nothing other than buying a new home and selling it a year later? It happens every day here at the beach.

5. Land or houses bought from un-informed sellers at bargain prices. (Divorce, Death in family, Have to move because of job, Can no longer afford) These deals don't come along every day but they certainly exist. Having a friend on the inside (A Real Estate Agent) can certainly increase your odds of finding them.

6. Land and property bought in highly desirable locations. The saying they aren't making any more waterfront property is even truer than it was twenty years ago. There is not much of it left that does not already have houses on it. It's hard to go wrong with property located on oceans, lakes or streams. Since the 1800's the value of land has doubled every 20 years. Good market or bad market doubling every 20 years has been the average. Even in a bad market waterfront lots will still sell.

7. Land bought in rapidly appreciating markets. In a rapidly appreciating market you may see gains of 20, 40, 50% or more in just a few years.

8. Rental properties in vacation locations that you can use for a few months of the year and then rent out for the rest of the year. Who wouldn't want a beach home on the Ocean and a Ski cabin in the Mountains? Why not have both and let other people pay for them.

Good market, bad market, high interest rates or low. Real estate has more than doubled its value every twenty years. Over the next twenty five years the U.S. population is supposed to increase anywhere from twenty to thirty million people, The GDP is supposed to grow from eight trillion dollars to over 15 trillion dollars. Where are all of these people going to live and who is going to share in all of this money?

If you are one of the people who exclaim “I wish I would have bought that property 10 years ago, I could have been a millionaire by now” The opportunity to do so is still there. Failure to act never made anyone rich.

Call a stock broker and ask how much stock you can buy for $10,000

He will answer $10,000 worth

Call a mortgage broker and ask how much property can you finance for $10,000

He will answer somewhere around $100,000.00

This leverage is what makes real estate the best investment you can find. With relatively small amounts of money you can control huge amounts of real estate.
