When investing in real estate, you'll find there are many who are willing to put money into a property in hopes of earning revenue but few who are willing to get the proper training that will help them achieve success in real estate investment. Those that do take the time to learn the proper steps to investing in the real estate market know the best way to make money from it is to target the largest possible audience in hopes of finding a buyer for your property.
Most people who are looking for investors selling homes are those that will have difficulty getting a loan from a traditional source. Even those that can do so may feel reluctant about going through the process because of negative credit history, a lack of funds for a down payment, or some other issue that may affect their status and ability to qualify. Still, they want to invest in real estate for a house like every other American, following the dream of owning their own home. This means they need to find alternative methods of financing.
If you are the investor, you can make buying easy for these individuals while making a killing on your own income. There are a number of creative ways in which to finance your real estate so that a buyer can afford to purchase it from you, and some of these will actually afford you a greater profit than accepting cash from your buyer. Seller financing is an excellent option because you can actually ask more for the property. You can also work with lease purchase options, in which you can use the initial down payment to live off of, continue to collect lease payments, and eventually sell to the buyer when they've cleaned up their credit.
When you opt for one of these alternatives, you are accessing 65% of the buying market as opposed to the 35% who will qualify for standard mortgages. That's twice as many potential buyers. Most individuals looking to buy a home have either the money to pay up front (which can be used for the lease purchase option) but no credit or not so good credit that keeps them from being able to qualify for a mortgage loan, or they have good credit but no money to put down (which makes them great candidates for a seller finance option).
By being flexible and reaching out to the section of the buying market that is not tapped by mortgage lenders, you are aiming for success. You'll be able to sell your real estate property in no time and have consistent income as the mortgage gets paid down on a home for which someone else is responsible and cares for. In the end, you will always come out on top in this sort of arrangement.
