Five Types of Real Estate Investors - The Rehab and Resell Investor

Did you know that there are five types of real estate investors?  When talking about residential real estate, there are five types of real estate investors.  This week, we will be taking a look at these five types of real estate investors and learning a little bit about each type.

Real Estate and Risk Investment Free Digital PhotosWe have made it to our fifth and final type of real estate investor, The Rehab and Resell Investor.  Previously this week, we have looked at the other four types of real estate investors:  The First-Time Investor, The Move-Up Investor, The Portfolio Investor, and The Performance Investor.  Some investors refer to the Rehab and Resell Investor as the "Fix and Flip" Investor or the "Upgrade and Exchange" Investor.  For my purposes here today, I will refer to this type of real estate investor as the rehab and resell investor.

The rehab and resell investor purchases a distressed property in order to rehabilitate the property and resell the property for a profit.  Not only does this type of real estate investor most likely have an investment team in place but they usually either have contractors or subcontractors in place or are experienced at doing all types of repairs themselves.  While many experienced rehab and resell investors are able to make improvements for a quick profit, I do not recommend this strategy for a first-time investor.  Rehab and resell investors are usually highly experienced.  They are not interested in holding properties for a long time.

Even with a real estate investment team in place, the right Real Estate Investment Specialist adds value to a rehab and resell investor.  The right Real Estate Investment Specialist can save the rehab and resell investor time by analyzing properties for the investor.  Other benefits of working with the right Real Estate Investment SpecialistSearching New House Free Digital Photos include:  knowledge of investment terms and strategies, ability to understand your specific goals and needs, finding properties that match your specific goals and needs, as well as eliminating properties that could take too much time or go over budget.  Are you a rehab and resell investor looking for your next property?  I would like to talk with you about your criteria and find your next property for you.  Give me a call today!

Hi Janis!  Thank you for the positive and kind words!  I decided to just "start with the basics" and go from there.  One of my goals is to add value to an investor's experience of investing in real estate.  I have also noticed that info on the topic at times seems lacking.  I always appreciate you stopping by and commenting on my blog!

Linda, I have met quite a few of these guys.  They aren't doing so well these days, at least most of them aren't.  Have a great weekend.

I did a bunch of fix and flips before the market went up and down.  Got stuck with a few that I now keep as rentals so I sat on the sidelines during most of 2008 and 2009.  But 2010 seemed to bottom out and I saw others back doing it succesfully so now I am full blast fixing and flipping again.  You have to buy extra conservatively but they are pretty easy to re-sell in this market because inventory has gotten so low.

Hi Ron, Being a rehab and resell investor isn't for everyone.  If you are experienced and buy the "right" property in Florida, you can still have success with this strategy.  I hope you have a great weekend too!  Thank you for taking the time to comment!

Hi Rob, GREAT to know you are experiencing success once again with rehabbing and reselling!  It is also good that you were able to keep the ones you were stuck with as rentals.  As always, thank you for taking the time to comment!

Hi Linda...I have been that 5th type of investor.  Made great money on that home but probably took time away from other real estate work.

One thing I learned...do not put the home on the market early unless you want the buyer picking colors of counter, carpet and tile!!

I agree with Rob that you have to be very cautious on the house and where it is located.  Mine was in a military town with a lot of transient buyers.

Hi Mike, You make a great point about rehab and resell investors needing time to devote to the rehab project.

Wow!  You did have an experience if the buyer was picking out the colors of counter, carpet, and tile!

I agree as well that the house and the location is important.  Military towns are great.  Tampa still has a military base as well.

I really appreciate you taking the time to comment!

Hi Linda:

I enjoyed reading your post!  Not all agents are knowledgeable about working with investors

and quite frankly should not be assisting them.  You clearly have a thorough understanding of the

different investor types which is critical in guiding the sale! Regards, Margaret Memoli, Bridgeport, CT

Hi Margaret,

Thank you so much for your kind words!  I agree with you that not all real estate agents have the knowledge to assist an investor.  There are many different strategies that investors use and it's important for the agent to know what they want to accomplish.

I appreciate you adding that you are in Bridgeport and taking the time to comment.  It's nice to "meet" you!
