Investing In Real Estate Is Like Magic

Filed under: Investing In Real Estate — Jack @ 10:28 am

Real Estate InvestingHave you ever seen someone at a party do an amazing card trick. I mean one that floored everyone in the room. You think “Wow, how did he do that? It’s impossible. There’s no way that could happen”. In most cases, is the guy with the cards any more talented than you? Have some special quality that is beyond your grasp? Did he spend years developing a gift that you just don’t have? No. It comes down to this. He knows the trick and you don’t. That’s it. (keep reading…)

Property Valuation Sites

Filed under: Investing In Real Estate — Jack @ 10:28 am

As you may have seen, FixFlipRent.com offers a tool by Zillow on our Home Values page. This is a good tool for estimating house values but it should not replace a professional appraisal or comparative market analysis (CMA). There are many parts of the country, Houston being one of them, that the accuracy is hit or miss.

Lucky for us, we have VoxProperty.com The Houston Interactive Property Value Database. (keep reading…)

Donald Trump Real EstateNo, he’s not wrestling Rosie O’donnell. It seems “The Donald” has a feud going with WWE president, Vince McMahon.

MyHouseDeals.com and HotBargainPropeties.com - Deal or No Deal?

Filed under: Investing In Real Estate — Jack @ 1:10 pm

A lot of folks have there opinions (including those that have never used the sites) and I’ve been asked what I think on more than a couple of occasions. So here are my thoughts and for the record, I have no affiliation with with either of the sites other than my own paid memberships. (keep reading…)

How Do You Get Started In Real Estate? Do A Deal.

Filed under: Investing In Real Estate — Jack @ 6:01 am

Being involved in a real estate transaction is the only way of getting started in real estate investing. The only way! Not reading another book, not listening to another cd, not attending another seminar. Those are generally the best ways to avoid getting started. Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for educating yourself and growing. But don’t fool yourself into thinking that you are in real estate by engaging in these activities. The starting line is doing the first deal. Period. (keep reading…)

As a real estate investor you have some decisions to make about who you do business with that will greatly effect your bottom line. So either get out the dart board or get ready to do some research.
