IRAs and Real Estate

Who hasn’t heard the word diversification when talking about building an investment portfolio? Everyone knows just how important it is to spread your potential risk across a variety of investments, but few people are aware that you can invest in real estate using money from certain individual accounts, know as self-directed IRAs.

Multiple Ways to Buy a Foreclosure

Foreclosures can be bought in a variety of ways. Some investors focus on buying properties when they are in the pre-foreclosure stage directly from the home owners. Others prefer to buy foreclosures from banks that have retaken ownership of the property. The method for purchasing foreclosures most often depends on what you, as the investors, feels most comfortable doing.

While not for everyone, one method of securing foreclosures, while challenging, can often yield great results. For instance, you can generally buy a property at a significant discount through a public foreclosure auction. However while buying a… Continue reading

Much is written about real estate investors buying and selling foreclosures. The emphasis is usually on the opportunities available in the residential arena, such as single-family homes, town homes, condos and multi-unit apartment complexes. Although not written about as frequently, there is another type of foreclosure opportunity for the real estate investor that remains just as lucrative.

Buying and selling commercial foreclosures is another good way for investors to buy properties at a discounted price and either quickly turn it around for a profit or hold on to it for the purpose of providing a steady stream of income. As is… Continue reading

Foreclosures are available in every size and shape at almost any imaginable price point. While existing single family homes, condominiums, town homes, and multi-family complexes remain popular foreclosure investments, there is another lucrative foreclosure area perking the interest of those involved in buying foreclosures – newly built homes and construction loans on recently completed but not occupied homes.

The benefits of buying foreclosed homes are about to get even better thanks to the $15 billion Foreclosure Prevention Act of 2008.

Homebuyers and investors can soon take advantage of a $7,000 one-year tax credit with the purchase of foreclosure properties if the legislation is passed.

That’s a huge savings on top of already discounted real estate. In fact, foreclosed homes for sale on Foreclosure.com are often listed between 30 to 50 percent less than market value.

And we showcase more than… Continue reading

Almost every news report these days is talking about the dire state of the real estate market. Foreclosures have increased dramatically – up 93% from last year.

For a few groups such as real estate investors, this downturn in the real estate market and subsequent rise in foreclosures provides an increase in investment opportunities. In fact, many savvy investors worried about volatile stock… Continue reading

In this chapter, we will discuss For-Sale-By-Owner or FSBO (An individual homeowner who is attempting to sell his property without a real estate broker. The acronym, FSBO is pronounced “fizzbo”.) properties. With an For Sale By Owner (FSBO) property, the seller acts as the selling agent and handles the sales process directly with the buyer or buyer’s agent. In this situation, the seller does not pay a listing commission. We have included For Sale By Owner (FSBO) listings on our website because they offer an opportunity to save on the purchase price of a home. The specific reasons why are… Continue reading
