Real Estate Investing in Tustin Now Easier than Ever

Has technology made investing in Tustin real estate easier? Entrepreneur Magazine has

supplied an answer to warm the heart of any Tustin REALTOR® (like yours truly). They say investing

in real estate isn’t just easier—it’s grown significantly easier. The reason is the medium we’re

communicating through right now.

“7 Reasons NOW Is a Great Time to Invest in Real Estate” was the title of the essay. The

screaming “NOW” was the initial attention-getter, although the single one of the 7 Reasons that

had me nodding my head didn’t deal with interest rates or bankers’ current awakening from their

previous lending lethargy. It wasn’t any of the points dealing with prices, the job market, or any of

the other financial reasons you’d expect from a magazine called Entrepreneur.

The reason that got my attention was one that is truly applicable for potential Tustin

investors who are mulling over the plusses and minuses of taking on their first Tustin rental

property. If you’re one of those, you are necessarily a successful person. It’s 99% certain that you

are also a busy person. Becoming a landlord certainly makes sound investment sense...but does it

makes scheduling sense, given your typically busy day?

Entrepreneur's one-word reason that real estate investing has gotten easier is “technology.”

Nearly every one of the associated tasks that were time- and labor-consuming back in the “olden

days” (translation: a couple of years ago) have become much simpler. Not surprising is that

locating and funding candidate properties is easier because of the web: you’ve found me here, so

you know that one already.

The thought-provoking reasons were listed as bullet points. Each formerly time-consuming

task you’d associate with real estate investing can now be handled by services that are, in 2017, a

mouse click away. Services like Craigslist and online Tustin newspaper classifieds automation

make advertising a breeze. Collections and tenant screening, likewise. In fact, just about every task

can be made easier, whether via professional services or—for do-it-yourselfers—sophisticated

software programs:

Advertising

Tenant screening

cleaning services

handymen

rent collection

tenant management (those midnight calls, especially!)

For potential Tustin investors, it’s one part of today’s technology that’s a decidedly

positive development. And right now, the array of local real estate investing opportunities make it

an excellent time to give me a call!
