An Overview Of Investment Realty

By Kevin Ierardi


Investment realty covers a wide range of areas in real estate and its commerce. This is a review of some of the basics in how one typically approaches real estate as an investment opportunity. First off, real estate is real property, and it may have a building or a home upon its lands.

An investor, also regarded as the owner of the property, will own the land, its crops, minerals, and water. Real estate also refers to the profession of buying, selling, or utilizing property for profit. Many owners sell direct, and many owners will use an agent to sell the property. The agent typically collects a commission for the sale while giving you the asking price for your home.

In general circumstances, an estate agent focuses purely on selling the property, and the marketing it takes to bring in potential buyers. Agents usually use the local listings as well as online to generate leads in selling the property. The agent has little, if any, risk when it comes to selling property. If they do not sell the property, they do not get paid.

While agents are focused on making sales, they do not typically invest in the property itself. Most of the time, the agent only foots the bill for marketing material that helps him sell the home. Another term to be aware of in investment realty is income property. Income property is property that is setup to yield perpetual income, typically on a monthly basis. Property management and income property are fine examples of how it works.

The most common concept of investment realty is to let someone else pay for rent to cover the mortgage, and hopefully the owner prices it right that he gets a positive cash flow every month. This is one of the easiest concepts to implement.

Letting tenants take care of your mortgage or lease bill every month is a concept practiced by thousands of people. The goal is to buy property, and rent it out to match or generate cash flow every month. This is a simple process to implement as long as you have reliable tenants with a steady flow of income.

It is not uncommon for the government to seize property from owners. In turn, they auction off the properties for funds. This is a good direction to take in investment realty. When the original owners are not able to obtain their property back, the government will begin auctioning off the property. Auctions are good places to get cheap property.
