(EMAILWIRE.COM, June 04, 2007 ) Livonia, MI -- The new investor has several categories of real estate available. The easiest and best for a beginning investor to understand and participate in is the single-family home.Why?1. Homeownership in America is approaching 70%.2. They are the highest demand type of property.3. They sell quicker than other kinds of property.4. Prospective purchasers have the widest range of financing programs available to them, making the property easier to purchase.If the property does not sell in a reasonable amount of time, it can be rented or lease with an option to buy.Ugly Properties: Why should you buy the ugly duckling property?The best property to buy is an ugly one. Look for the property that has never been "updated" or improved or one that has been improved, in a very tacky way. Don’t be deterred by the pet urine, feces, or mice droppings. Where some see damage and odor, you should see dollars and opportunity.Ugly ducklings are the properties that have the least competition, houses that can be fixed up by remodeling, not by rebuilding.Many people are scared about things like leaking roofs and broken windows. Be happy to see those things. They’ll discourage most inexperienced investors from purchasing the property. In many areas, you will be competing for some deals with “do-it-yourself” homeowners.They may outbid you simply because they figure they can buy a home for $50,000.00 that will be worth $70,000.00 when they’re done fixing it up. It never occurs to them that they will spend $10,000.00 for materials and professional labor, one to two years working on it, and live in a construction zone the whole time. The oddest thing about it is that most people will sell the home when they're done, thinking they did great (although they really broke even) and start the process again.Buy, flip and sell works best in a 90-120 day time frame, with professional contractors quickly completing decorating, repairs, and renovations.Where do go to meet the like mind people to get trained in the real estate investing business?The best place to go is the REIA!
