There are several different types of real estate investment businesses that you can start. First you can start a commercial real estate investment business. This business will involve creating a portfolio of commercial properties that you rent out to businesses or it will involve developing commercial properties. Another real estate business that you can start is an investment property company. If this is a business option that you are interested in then you can specialize in single family, multifamily, or a combination of both single family and multifamily properties.

No matter what type of real estate investment business that you decide to operate you will need to find a way to finance your purchases. If you have good credit, a lot of collateral, and a lot of capital, then you can borrow money from your local banker. However, if you are not a millionaire then you will probably need to find creative financing options. Some creative options that are available include: alternative loan programs, down payment grants, investment grants, and owner financing.

In order to maximize the profits that you earn from your investment capital you will want to use investment strategies that will save you money on the purchase price of the properties that you are interested in. There are several ways that you can save money on the purchase price of a property including: buying from foreclosure auctions, buying properties from government auctions, buying distressed properties, and buying from "motivated sellers." You can also maximize your investment capital by buying the worst house in the best area. This will allow you to buy a property at a low price, fix it up, and then sell it or rent it out for a higher profit margin.
