"REAL ESTATE INVESTING" | "Real Estate Investing" Made Simple!

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with Realty Works Temecula BRE No: 01233850

It is all over the news!  "Real Estate Investing", "Invest in Real Estate", "Invest in Real Estate"!  

Some of the websites I've seen are so complicated with so many articles with information over analyzing the whole Real Estate Investment process!

It is as simple as this!

You want Positive Cash Flow!     You want great homes in areas that will appreciate in value! 

Here are some Free Tools:  

Most people like to go on the Internet and find out for themselves what their payment will be....here is a useful tool that is easy to use:   PITI calculator 

 

Here's another one:  www.rentometer.com  This tool will figure out your rent for you before you purchase your Real Estate Investment property.

Here's a snapshot I took of a PITI calculator with the result of an investor putting down 20% on a $200,000 home.  As you can see the payment for Principal, Interest, Taxes and Insurance, (based on a California home in Zip Code 92563) is only $1125.58.  

This home can easily rent for $1600 per month, (check it out with the Rentometer above), leaving you with $500.00 positive cash flow!

Now, where to invest?: 

Us News and World Report had this article recently about which States have the most foreclosures.  It makes sense that these states are going to have the most to choose from!!!

Here are the Top 3 Foreclosure States: As listed in the article link above!

I have heard of so many "get rich" schemes from potential buyers that it is down right scary! You have some great (and very useful) tools for evaluating and purchasing investment properties and I hope folks in your area take advantage of this resource!

Jane, a rentometer was a new one on me. I like the way you show an example of it.

Jane ~ You are right about the amount of information being pushed in front of the consumer. It is confusing and overwhelming for most. The free tools you included here should be very helpful for your readers!

Jane -- nice tools, and nice, straight forward post on investing and how to think about the pieces. I'll keep it all in mind.

Jane, great post! From a lender's perspective an investor's file has to be SQUEEKY CLEAN! Minimum 20% down (add-ons are at lost less with 25% or 30% down). Lender's also have limits on the number of financed properties (usually 4) and cash reserves (6 months) are a must.

There are still "investors" out there who are trying to be as owner-occupied. If they have multiple properties, the lender is going to use the address on their tax returns as primary residence, almost without exception.

It's absolutely a great time to invest, especially in our neck of the woods, but the wise "exit strategy" is for a long term hold.
