Study and development of land history. Developed a business-friendly if there were a lot of conflicting opinions from the public much? What was this earth before?

Talk with your neighbors. Ask them what they thought about the Creator and the region. Are they happy as they were built? Are the amenities complete, the developer promised? If they love living there, they will tell you – if they hate, they will tell you that, too.

If you are interested in building the house boat, make sure that there are no restrictive covenants preventing you from doing so. Many of the lakes region to limit the new boat house and dock construction.

If you are planning to build, so make sure you have access to electricity, water, sewer and other utilities. Never, that you can just “hook up”.

1. Determine why the party is for sale.
2. Are utilities available in?
3. Is the development projects planned or expected in?

Why sell the land? This is the first thing to consider. Land goes for sale on various grounds, but not all of them are very friendly. Zoning restrictions or conditions, could lead to problems of land for housing. Land can be sold, because the soil is too soft to provide a basis of whether the zoning restriction. Check out this is to ensure that the land is sold for a good cause and you know the depth of the soil before you buy.

Second, find out if a site is a utility available at home. Houses with services such as electricity, water and sanitation. In some areas, especially if reasonably long distances, may not have all the tools available. Septic systems do not allow you to drain connection, but will probably be restrictions on their use of land near the beach. Remember, if the area is built nearby, which may be of public utility services are excluded. Such a situation may give you the opportunity to buy land at low cost and significantly increase the value of the house is built and utility service will be available.

Is the development projects planned or expected in? This is the last thing you want to consider. Development projects can add or subtract from the investment property. The development of trade, if they are not too close to comfort to local areas. If too close, but they can cause displacement and subtracted from the beach sense. Residential areas in the vicinity tend to cause a feeling of displacement, and increase the housing supply can reduce prices. Pay attention to the potential of the planned development projects and provides an important purchase of land on the beach.

Invest smart
You need to study the Real Estate market well before finalizing the property in which you want to invest. The key areas where you should focus are: condition of the house, locality in which the house is located, prevailing rentals in that particular area, infrastructure of the area in terms of availability of recreational, health, and transport facilities in the area. Resale value of a house located in a developed area is huge; hence, prefer buying a flat in a developed locality.

In case your budget doesn’t permit you to buy an apartment in a posh area, then there is no harm in finding options in an under-developed or developing area, provided you study the area plan well.

Understand your need
For a smart investment, it is important that you understand your need well. For instance, if you plan to live in the property that you are planning to buy, it is wise to buy a house with multiple units. Such properties help you lower down cost of living and utilize rents obtained from other parts of the property to pay mortgaged loans, if any. In case, if you are looking at buying a property that is already on rent, make it a point to assess the records of the tenants before finalizing the purchase.

It is better if you take professional help to identify your needs and formulate a suitable plan of action, and then execution. A Real Estate broker, with his rich experience in the industry and rich database of properties, can help you zero down your search very well.
Choose a finance option
If you are looking out for some financing options to purchase your property, you may visit a mortgage broker, to help you in finding suitable finance options at a good cost. Nowadays, most brokers offer this value-added service to their clients, so that the deal is fast without the client having to initiate the tedious bank procedures on his own. Find out if your real agent has a tie up with a bank or any other financial institutions. You need to however do some comparative analysis to get the best interest rate for a reasonable tenor.

Think back, or read a history book, about how families in the ’40s and ’50s used to buy homes. Young couples lived with Mom and Dad during the “courtship” prior to getting married, until they had saved 20% to put down on their “dream home”. They made an investment in America, (i.e. the American dream). In the years that followed we have devalued that investment in lieu of credit and the easy access to it. Property values rose artificially and our nation became addicted to credit.

The value of the dollar has been demolished due to the same principle. When we place value in assets based on their ability to be easily bought and sold versus the value that has been invested in the asset, we devalue its worth. For example, two years ago I could have bought an $800,000 house (and I assure you that I cannot afford a house that expensive). The owner of that asset (the $800k house) placed value on his asset based on the availability of buyers like me who could buy the home. The problem is, this homeowner probably had less than 5% invested in the home. Where do you think that homeowner is today?

Had he put 20% down on his home, he would then own a valuable asset in which he has a real investment. This outlay of cash forces him to buy and sell his home in the same manner he would move an $800k investment around in the stock market – very carefully. Thus, the home has REAL value. However, having bought the home with little or no money down, the asset became disposable and so follows the real estate market.

So, as I said earlier, I cannot predict when the real estate market will bounce back, but I can tell you what needs to happen before it does. America needs to reinvest in herself by getting back to solid buying and selling principles. This strengthens home values, which encourages investors who employ builders who employ carpenters, painters, real estate agents, loan officers and so on. America was built on the “American Dream” which has turned into the “American Nightmare”; she can only be rebuilt by hard working Americans, not by Wall Street.

The most successful real estate investors out there today all have some sort of trust set up for each and every one of their real estate properties. This could be just their primary residence, or it could be dozens of apartment buildings they own. Since real estate deeds are a publicly accessible document, it means anybody can find out whose name is on title for a specific address. This type of trust structure which is better known as a Living Trust or Master Protection Trust is very useful for your real estate investments. It has many benefits one of which is especially important to celebrities and wealthy individuals. Do you think that Donald Trump or Bill Gates is names are listed as the owner of any property title document? I don’t think so.

So as you can see, the shell of the structure is the Master Protection Trust which is a rollup and direct holding of all assets. Underneath it is the second layer of protection and could potentially be any sort of corporation but in this instance I’m using a limited liability corporation (LLC). Then rolling up to the LLC are my real estate investment properties. So each one of these investment properties will be moved out of my personal name and into a new land trust name. You can call each one of these properties any name you want but most commonly I’ve seen the address of the property used as the land trust name. This makes it simple to know and keep track of each one of your investment properties especially if you continue to acquire more. You can of course have more than four as the illustration above is just a basic example of how you would construct this sort of protection for yourself.

Now it does take time and money to set up this sort of protection and structure and if I knew about this before acquiring multiple properties in my personal name I would’ve done this long ago. Even if you have just your personal residence or one investment property, I would highly recommend contacting your local real estate attorney to help draft these documents for your protection and peace of mind.

I’m guessing that most of you aren’t celebrities or extremely well-off individuals so protecting your name isn’t as important as it is to them. But nevertheless keeping your identity hidden and assets protected is still very important. Let’s say for example someone gets his seriously injured on one of your properties and they decide to sue you for millions of dollars. Now your landlord insurance policy will cover a certain amount depending of course on your liability coverage but it won’t cover anything on top of that. So when this injured tenant of yours decides to personally chase after the owner of the building he’ll only be able to find the name of the trust listed on the title document. This prevents him and his lawyer from coming directly after you in hopes of obtaining additional money.

An easier way to visualize this is to think of a company like Google. Say one of Google’s employees gets injured by another co-workers pet rock. This employee’s lawyer cannot sue the pet rock owner directly since they are protected by Google Corp.. The lawyer has to then sue Google Corp. and cannot go after the co-workers personal belongings or wealth.

I am actually in the process now of working with a real estate attorney to set up a Master Protection Trust. I at first didn’t want to spend the $5,000 in legal fees and paperwork but then realized for someone who owns multiple properties it makes good business sense. So right now each one of my investment properties has title in my personal name but now needs to be moved into individual land trusts. Here is an illustration of how I plan on structuring everything.

Many homeowners who gorged on debt during the real estate boom a few years ago are now starting to feel the squeeze. They’re struggling to keep up with their ballooning payments or, worse, losing their homes to creditors.

As the number of foreclosed properties continue to rise, new opportunities await for others. These are fast becoming ideal market conditions for a niche group of real estate investors called foreclosure gurus. They can deliver homeowners fast cash in return for their property which is inevitably sold at a nice discount. These type of foreclosure gurus used to post ads in the newspaper or staple ads to telephone poles but now there are several websites that make finding forclosures much easier.

Here are some beginner tips for those of you wondering where to start in the foreclosure market:

1. Check out a couple of the new online services like propertyshark.com and foreclosures.com (aff). These foreclosure listing sites provide the latest foreclosures in your area and often include the amount owed and the estimated value. The amount of time you save by using these sites versus having to find foreclosures the old-fashioned way is well worth the expense if you’re serious. Both of these websites provide a free trial so you can test the site out before you commit to their paid service.
2. Don’t even bother attending public foreclosure auctions unless you’re a pro. Despite what you may read in foreclosure books, typically these auctions are controlled by banks and other big lenders so the chances of you actually nabbing a foreclosed property are pretty slim. Instead, use an online service like the ones I mentioned above to find a property right after it goes into default. During that time there is a brief window to negotiate directly with the property owner which is your chance to get the property before it even hits a public foreclosure auction.
3. After spotting a property online right after it goes into default, you’ll want to get in touch with the property owner or their lawyer. Your goal here is to ask the owner if there is any way to negotiate a purchase of their property before it goes into auction. Most of the time especially if you speak with the attorney, the answer is going to be a firm no. If that’s the case, it’s best to go down to the property and find the owner directly. The lawyer is less likely to cooperate because there’s usually no additional benefits for them to work out a deal before it goes into foreclosure.
4. If the owner is willing to work out a deal then you’re in good shape and it’s time to negotiate a price and terms. If not, you might have to get creative and see if the owner is willing to become your partner. What you can do is promise to solve the owner’s immediate problem by paying enough mortgage-backed payments to get the loan out of default. In order for this to work you have to exchange for the deed to the property and potentially provide the owner with a temporary apartment if you need to refurbish their home. Then once you sell the house, you give the owner a check for a portion of the profit which typically ranges between 10 to 20%. If neither one of those strategies work, it’s probably best to move on to another foreclosed property.

These are just a few techniques to get you started in the foreclosure market. Being a newbie and dealing with a risky yet high reward investment you’ll want to be careful especially the first time. Don’t feel like you need to rush into things as the good news is forclosures are continuing to rise so there’s going to be a lot of inventory in the coming months. There will be plenty of opportunity for you to find foreclosures so don’t get frustrated if the first 5-10 properties you inquire about don’t end up the way you want it to. Keep reading articles on my blog and educate yourself so you’re comfortable before you make a move.
