INVESTING IN REAL ESTATE
When starting out first in real estate investing, you should always try to look for ugly or bad homes that are in need of a lot of work. These houses go for a lot cheaper when purchasing, although they will take more work to repair them. You should start by looking for homes that are in need of repair, such as clean up the house, putting new paint on it, and you should look at putting in new carpet. You don`t want to buy something that needs to many repairs , as it could cost you all the money that you have to try and repair it.
If you have skills as a handyman and feel that you will be able to do the repairs without hiring someone, you can save yourself a lot of money. On the other hand, if you have to hire someone to do the work, you need to always check to make sure that the person or company that you are looking hire is qualified to do the work on the house that needs to be done. If you feel like you can't do any of the repairs, you should look for a subcontractor or company that can do it for a good price, or maybe look into sharing some of the money when you have resold the home.
If the home you are looking to buy and resell has any kind of structural damage, you need to always get an estimate by a reliable contractor before you buy the house. If you continue to work with creative real estate investing, you`ll learn more and more over the years, although it is a good idea to always hire a contractor when you first start out in real estate investing. Once you put all of the estimates together, you should be able to make that final decision on how much the you want to offer on the property.
