So how does investing in real estate REALLY work? Its a question I get asked a lot in many different ways, "How do I know this is the right investment for me?”, "Is it the right time for me to invest in this property?", "How much return-on-investment will I be receiving and in how long?", and so on. The title of my blog gives away the answer in short. Investing is a complete package that consists of the right type of knowledge, the amount of money invested, planning ahead and having a clear roadmap, and the comprehensive management that ties them all together.
There is no doubt that an investment is one of the toughest decisions we make in our lives; it is a responsibility for the past and a promise towards the future. That is why your future return should be rewarding, it is an investment that should cover the risk you take and the cost it takes to make one.
Knowledge is certainly the place to start. And we are not necessarily talking about your own personal knowledge, but rather your intrigue and intelligence in seeking the right knowledge. Finding the right person for the job is half the job, and trusting their years of experience will save you a lot of risk, money, and time.
Take a Cash Flow Income Investment for example, it is the type of investment that allows you to buy a real estate property such as a medical center and manage it to create a consistent stream of cash flow. The cash flow from this type of investment has many sources such as rent, profit from the businesses themselves, and the higher equity of the property as it becomes a complete set of services under one roof. Those are not factors that everyone is familiar with or have experience at, that is why it is essential you sit and talk with someone who knows all of these info through repeated practice and not in theoretical numbers.
A knowledgeable broker will take a look at your financial capabilities and know exactly if that is the right type of investment for you. They will also tailor-make a plan that fits your needs and expectations of an investment and make sure you receive the projected return-on-investment within the projected timeframe.
Always make a list of questions and any potential concern you may have and discuss them with your broker.
