Real Estate Investing is the craze today with people involved in the
Carlton Sheets program spending money on courses to find out how they
can make money in no money down real estate investing. This article
hopes to help you create some sort of mental picture of five key
principles that can help you make more money with real estate today.<br />
Principle #1- The money is made in the purchase<br />
Real
estate investing is like value investing in stocks and you want to
purchase the real estate during a period of a real estate slump. The
reason for this is so that you can get a huge capital appreciation when
the real estate market heats up again.<br />
Spending time doing real
estate valuation is critical since if you cannot satisfy yourself on the
maths that is a viable proposition, there is no way that your real
estate investment would be a good one.<br />
Principle #2- Monitor Cash flow<br />
Real
Estate investment typically have a monthly rental income which then is
used to pay for mortgage instalments and other problems with the
building like a roof leak. You would thus have to keep a close watch on
interest rate hikes since they can potentially erode any calculated
return on investment quite quickly. Once you have enough cash coming
in, it is suggested that you then keep some of it in a rainy day fund in
case some of the rental tenants do not renew their property and then
take the rest and consider investing in another real estate investment
property.<br />
Principle #3- Leverage on other people's time<br />
Remember
that no one can do everything, so the key is to focus on what you do
best. If your strength is in negotiating deals, spend time looking for
property and then get professionals and contractors to handle all the
rest of the deal for you. Similarly, if you are good at decorating
property, then find deals and focus on the interior design of the
property. By focusing on what you do best and getting other people to
do the rest of the work, you are leveraging on their time and you can
then make more money from each new real estate investment that you
undertake. Spend your time to build your team of advisors and employees
who work for you and you will see your profits start going up.
Remember that by rewarding them financially, you will get a group of
dedicated people helping you make more money from your real estate
investment.<br />
Principle #4- Learn how to use leverage with a good rainy day cash balance<br />
Did
you know that many real estate investors started off with very little
money to invest? Even large real estate developers like Donald Trump
have learnt the power of leverage when investing in property deals. You
want to leverage as much as you can so that you can control property
worth many times more than what you own. Remember however to keep a
rainy day fund containing a portion of the rental payments so that you
can hedge yourself against a possible period where unit occupancy of
your real estate investment is low. Leverage when used well can make
you lots of money but if managed badly, will bankrupt you. Thus
planning your cash flow and learning how to use debt is critical before
you start serious real estate investment.<br />
Principle #5- Spend time networking with real estate professionals<br />
Do
you want the latest real estate investment deals? The best way to
learn of them is to break into the local real estate professional group
and make friends with them. Learn some real estate investment lingo and
spend time making friends with them because they are your eyes and ears
on the ground and they can tell you about recent developments and
changes in rental, property and infrastructure of their geographical
location. Having the first player advantage is what many large real
estate investors have and by spending time to network with real estate
brokers, you will substantially close the gap.<br />
In conclusion,
spend time looking at these five principles and determine how they can
be applied to your real estate investment and you might start seeing an
increase in your real estate income.<br />

You can't get an accredited degree in real estate investing. You won't
find a high school or college guidance counselor who recommends a career
in real estate investing (if the guidance counselor understood real
estate investing, he or she probably wouldn't be a guidance counselor!)<br />
The
public school system and educational curriculum in the U.S. is only a
feeble attempt to prepare students to just "get a job." Unfortunately
there is no class in "Making Money 101." You don't have the opportunity
to take a class in "How to Become Financially Independent." No teacher
ever taught a class in "How to Succeed When Everyone Else is Failing." I
never learned anything about succeeding as an entrepreneur or becoming
wealthy during my 10 years in the university classroom. I only became a
multi-millionaire when I learned the skills of real estate investing,
and I paid the price out-of-pocket and out-of-the-classroom for that
education. I learned these skills in the ole University of Hard Knocks
through trial-and-error.<br />
Never disparage the cost of education.
There ain't no free lunch. You've gotta get this know-how outside of a
classroom, and learning how to make money is gonna cost you. But if you
think the cost of education is expensive, you should calculate the cost
of ignorance!<br />
However, learning real estate investing doesn't have
to cost you an arm and a leg. Yes, I know, the real estate investing TV
infomercials and the real estate investing seminars held around the
country charge big bucks for those 3-day seminars and week-long Boot
Camps. But that's pocket change compared to the fees they want to
collect from you later. Catch this fact: all the real estate investing
infomercials and seminars target you as a candidate for "real estate
investing coaching." That's where they charge you up to $25,000 and over
$50,000 per year for "coaching." And often you are assigned to some kid
"still wet behind the ears" to call you each week or month to hold your
hand and whisper in your ear what common sense and a persistent drive
should already tell you! I'm not exaggerating the real estate investing
educational system, because I know it inside and out. I personally know
many of the so-called "gurus." I've been close to it for 25 years. My
opinion is that the fees charged are exorbitant because the promoters
have found deep pockets in the marketplace.<br />
When I started my real
estate investing career 25 years ago, real estate investing TV
infomercials were unknown and real estate investing seminars were
extremely rare. Back then, Mark Haroldsen followed an emerging trend
started by Al Lowry and Nick Nickerson by holding occasional real estate
investing seminars across the country. Later Robert Allen expanded the
industry. Robert Allen promoted real estate investing conventions in the
major cities across the U.S. He found a market for costly real estate
investing packages of information with cassette tapes and note books. TV
infomercials, expensive seminars, and outlandish coaching fees followed
in subsequent years. Would-be real estate investing aspirants today who
want more than an inadequate salary from a job in Dullsville often
conclude that they have to "pay through the nose" for real estate
investing know-how.<br />
However, through diligent searching, these
want to-bees often find that this education in real estate investing is
more readily obtained from other sources than they previously imagined.<br />
Real
estate investing is probably one of the most easily learned skills
never taught in school. Real estate investing is probably one of the
most prolific careers available on Planet Earth. Because families now
live in houses instead of caves, houses available for fix up are
everywhere. And probably nothing contributes to upgrading the deplorable
housing conditions across America comparable to real estate investing
in fix up properties.<br />
