Three ways not to buy an empty house

My first restoration project is definitely a learning experience, and it how to justify I lost $ 6,000 on the agreement – which was the price of education. I also moved. Simply take measures worth something. What he had learned enough about the seminars on real estate investment looking for a bank owned property (real estate owned REO =). My agent recommended a home in a sleek package. She said that was bigger than others in the district because it had a basement, and upstairs by smoke damage prevented it sold. Once painted and recarpeted, it should sell at higher market

I do not know much to offer (a form of not buying an empty house), and I accepted his recommendation. From what I know now, my offer was too high.

The Rehab went well. He had a home inspection before I bought the house in town, I found a good contractor, and three-storey house was beautiful when finished. Then came the point number two How not to buy an empty house. I had not studied the area and I did not know that 80% of the value of a home is their neighborhood. The number three is that I had no marketing plan until it is ready to sell.

But the market had fallen while I was rehabilitating this house, and many of its neighbors, entered foreclosure. "For Rent" signs sprouted. Although I have received offers of contract were not high enough for me to make a profit. When he finally accepted the offer, the FHA appraisal was too low and the transaction has failed.

Then I became a motivated seller. I did not make This beautiful country house in a rental property that has sat empty for seven months before he accepted a contract. Until then, I were very motivated and wanted to get rid of it so I can move forward with my real estate investment career. I was frozen and do not invest in anything until it solves. For this deal to happen, I had to pay closing costs the buyer and the framework of the downpayment.

So how to avoid my mistakes? Learn MAO (maximum allowable offer), the formula and use for the price of their bids. Knowing in advance what they can expect to get when you sell. Pay attention to what happens in the neighborhood.

I do not regret the experience, and I'm educated enough to repeat it. I continued my studies and I learned to avoid such errors. Because I do not know yet what I teach seminars later, I had to go ahead with what he knew. If I waited more education prior to my first contract, I could not begin. So I did that part correctly. My investments are beneficiaries since.
