Your Complete Guide To Real Estate Investment

Introduction     

“Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the fairest of them all?” asked the queen in the fairy tale. Then the magic mirror would respond to her with an honest answer. In reality, wouldn’t it be nice if we all have a magic mirror that can tell us all the answers we want?

For those of us who want to know how to invest in real estate but lack of knowledge and experience, a magic mirror would be perfect for us every time we have questions. Unfortunately, this mirror does not exist in real life. That is the reason why we have created this book to help, educate, and empower you like a magic mirror.

In this book, we’ll show you all the elements needed for real estate investment at two different levels. At the basic level, you’ll learn the fundamental knowledge needed for buying real estate. First, you need to separate the truths from the myths so you have a clear understanding of the subject before you start to jump onto the boat. Then we’ll show you the process in a step-by-step order, such as where you can find deals, how to analyze deals, how to make an offer and finally how to close the deal. Of course, it’s unlikely that you can succeed in this business all by yourself. That’s why we’ll also explain to you who you should partner up with.

In the advanced topics, we’ll show you more complicated concepts in real estate investment as you’re ready to take your investment to the next level. For instance, if buying a property isn’t easy for a novice investor, renovating and managing one is definitely even more challenging. We’ll show you what you can do to facilitate your property renovation and management and to protect yourself. Then, we’ll explain the different ways real estate can earn you profits (i.e. profit centers), how you can sell a purchase contract instead of the underlying property (i.e. wholesaling), and how to profit while helping people in a “rent-to-own” arrangement (i.e. lease option). And the most interesting topic of all, we’ll show you how you can invest in real estate without your own money!
