A Real Estate Success Formula
Discovering the Power of Strategic Investing
Have you ever wondered about a winning real estate formula? If you have some capital and are aiming for impressive returns, this strategy might be for you.
For years, a simple yet effective real estate approach was advertised in our small-town newspaper. It involved properties for sale with 5% down and monthly payments equaling 1% of the purchase price. For instance, you might see a three-bedroom home priced at $90,000, requiring a $4,500 down payment and $900 per month.
A friend explained this intriguing strategy to me, revealing a method to achieve substantial returns on investment. Instead of buying with no money down, you actually buy with cash.
The Strategic Real Estate Approach
Purchasing with cash often allows you to negotiate a better deal. Without financing contingencies and with the possibility of a quicker closing, sellers are willing to lower their price. You might offer $95,000 for a house valued at $108,000. If negotiations don't lead to your desired price, you can walk away knowing there are other opportunities out there.
Once you own the house, invest a few thousand dollars in high-return improvements, like fresh paint, new carpeting, or even paving a dirt driveway. Suppose these upgrades cost $5,000, and the home's value increases to $116,000. This sets the stage for the next step in the strategy.
Sell the house, targeting buyers who struggle to secure financing. By providing your own financing, you can sell the home for more than its $116,000 value, without incurring realtor commissions. Imagine selling it for $123,000. The buyer makes a down payment of just 5%, or $6,150, and their monthly payments are $1,230. You charge higher interest than banks do.
This situation benefits everyone. The buyer acquires a home instead of renting, and you enjoy a capital gain of about $16,000 after expenses, along with substantial interest. Your total rate of return could exceed 20%.
In our town, a father-son lawyer duo were pioneers of this approach. They minimized costs by handling foreclosures themselves. Once foreclosed, they resold homes at higher prices, repeatedly generating significant profits.
This formula demonstrated that, with an average return of 18%, an initial investment of $75,000 can grow to over one million dollars in about fifteen years. That's the transformative power of a smart real estate strategy.
