Beat Your Competition
Are you sick and tired of hearing “There are no good deals out there right now”?
I know that I am.

5 Sneaky Details You Cant Miss When Rehabbing Your Michigan Foreclosure - 02/13/12 10:18 PM

So you’re walking through the supermarket shopping for some fruit cocktail for a quick desert for you and the kids tonight.  As you walk down the canned food isle you come up on your possible selections.  There’s the black and white can with red stripes that simply reads “fruit cocktail” for 49 cents.  Then there’s the store brand which has a picture of some fruit whose tag lie is “always fresh” for only 79 cents.  Finally there’s the Del Monte can is full blazing color.  Lush fields in the background with beautiful pineapples, a cherry tree, and a ripe peach … (3 comments)

Split Focused Real Estate Investing Starategies Ususally Ensure Failure - 02/06/12 09:06 AM

Unless you utter the words “I’m a full-time real estate investor, and I’ll I do is buy, fix, flip, wholesale, rent, and sell houses all day every day”, plus have a team of about 6 strong employees, it’s very difficult to implement 3 different investing strategies at one time with success.  I wrote this article because every month, week, and day I speak with different REIA of Macomb members and they’re all over the place in terms of what they’re doing.  They may be trying to do sandwich leases, wholesales, and full rehabs all at the same time.  The most … (4 comments)

How A Two Dollar Investment Can Make You Five Thousand On Your Next Michigan Real Estate Investment - 02/06/12 09:04 AM

If you haven’t noticed rehabbing is back…in a BIG way.  What’s rehabbing?  My definition is buying a house, repairing/updating/& finishing it to the maximum allowable by neighborhood standards in hopes to sell it for the highest realistic price.  That’s a mouthful.
If you don’t already know, selling houses retail is a delicate balance between budget & final product.  There are a lot of variables that play into your end profit. 
1. Purchase Price2. Rehab amount3. Rehab time4. Rehab quality5. Rehab style
Let’s pretend that you have all of those already figured out.  If you even paid attention to the title … (2 comments)

Well if you’re not on the front lines day to day as I am you may have missed that over the last 12 months the trend to buy, fix, and completely rehab to the nine’s is what’s producing the highest profits for investors. There are quite a few different … (0 comments)

9 Out of 10 Buyers Find Their House Online - 02/05/12 11:55 AM
Flip Houses The Easy Way
I got my chops busted everyday when I first stepped into the professional world by my sales manager.  He used to have to beat it into my head that you have to give the customer what they want-not what’s necessarily best for them.  He had a saying, “Don’t fight it, write it”. What he meant was if the customer asks you for something, give it to them and don’t try to change their minds.
So now I ask you-Are your houses you are flipping, wholesaling, or renting (yuck), being advertised online on your website?
If you answered No, then you … (2 comments)

If You're Not Flipping You're Losing - 02/04/12 12:50 PM
 
Good News for Flippers-Bad News for landlords
Recent statistics from the leading source in our business (check out the blue highlighted section above) , Realtor Magazine, show that the Metro Detroit region has lost 13% in housing values over the last 90 days alone.  This means that if you are holding residential real estate you are losing money as you read this, and maybe lots of dough.
It depends on a few different factors;
1. What type of property is it?
2. What city is it located in?
3. Where does the school system rank?
4. What percent of houses are non-owner occupied (rentals)?
