Reinvest
If you are looking for a home or investment property. You know that inflation and Federal Income Tax laws can work for or against you. If your are the independent type and want to do-it-all yourself. If you have read all the 'No Downpayment Get Rich Quick Books' on real estate but felt like something was missing, the numbers, the calculations. You have seen all the real estate computer programs that figure payments, amortize loans, project income expense statements. You know that financing is the name of the game, but no one has put-it-all-together to give you a �quick, ballpark estimator of the money flows� and the underlying value of the purchase in the uncertain economic climate. You realize that even if you are purchasing a home, it is also an investment and should be viewed as income property ( you are going to pay rent anyhow). And, if you are purchasing you first home, you know that you should purchase something that you would rent yourself. Not a �dream house�, because dreams are expensive! If you know all that then you might like to know how I buy real estate.
When I buy real estate, I buy the numbers. Time is of the essence, the good buys will sell by noon of the first day they are advertised for sale. With a few telephone calls and my Real Estate Investment Analysis program, I can get a quick estimate of the numbers, the money flows and determine underlying value. If the numbers work then I look at the property. If it still looks good, I buy It! But under my terms.
