Real Estate Investing Fundementals

By
Services for Real Estate Pros with Mana Investments

Micro Economics

There is a great article in the Orillia Today Friday February 15 2008. On Page 15 there is a piece on Georgian College trying to raise funds to accommodate the growth in the region. The part that I found interesting for real estate investors is the statistic that states "Since 2004 Georgian has the second highest growth in college enrollment percentage wise among the 24 colleges in Ontario".  What does this tells us? Well the students have to be coming from somewhere. Although Georgian College does have a strong automotive education department which draws students from beyond the local region, it tells us that the region which includes Muskoka, Parry Sound, Midland and Collingwood areas has the young people already here. Which is a micro economic fundamental needed in real estate analysis. In very simplistic terms....lots of young families produce kids, which produces schools, which produces services to take care of schools and kids and families, which produces jobs which produces demand on real estate. Simcoe County, Muskoka, Midland, Collingwood, Parry Sound, Huntsville, Owen Sound....great places to be investing in real estate.

Man, I see you are on a mission to make HomesByOwner work. That's great. I am very passionate about this business as I feel I am on the ground floor of something that is going to do nothing but grow. I am of the opinion that you feel the same way.

I have Googled some terms and see you are showing up on the first or second page of most of these. Keep posting and using keywords when you write. At the rate you are going, you will have an excellent rating with search engines in the next few weeks.

It would be nice to see some of the other territories taken over by some aggressive affiliates. We would all benefit by the growth of each others business. If you have a prospect for another territory, contact Austin who will provide them with information. If they sign up, HBO will send you $200 for each referral.

When I started this business, I was thinking of hiring a 'salesperson' that would provide me with new customers. Ironically, I got a call the other day from a woman that used to be involved for a number of years with one of the large FSBO companies. She was also a real estate agent for a number of years. She has a system setup where she has access to new FSBO's as they come on the market. She wants to do cold calling for me and when someone pays to go on my site, I will pay her a referral fee. This is exactally what I had in mind. Not an employee and no committment.

This is the part of the business takes a lot of time and I would be willing to give up some of the income to someone that does nothing but supply me with properties to list. I plan on meeting with her and will let you know how I make out incase you decide to try the samething.

Take care
