Real estate investing strategies are so numerous it's hard to "pick" one.the problem with "picking" a real estate investment strategy is they're not like mutual funds. to be a real estate investor, you've got think like a businessman. a businessman or entrepreneur, is a control freak - they want to figure everything out and have the satisfaction of control.real estate investment strategies do not match the modern-day "investor"...people with 401k's who "pick" a portfolio are not investors. heck, the portfolio managers are not entrepreneurs, they're employees of a HUGE company and they manage these gigantic funds with so many different companies, it's no wonder there's no money in mutual funds.real estate investment strategies involve looking at CASH FLOW.

It takes a bit of explanation so please be patient with me.When applying for a mortgage to purchase the property, the lenders want the investors to put down at least 20% so that the investor is more vested in the property and therefore less risky.

What better way to capture buyers than to offer them a ca$h reward just for purchasing a home through our Mortgage Company... just our way of saying "thanks" (Rewards are between $1,000-$10,000 depending upon the purchase price of home) We offer in-house underwriting with the ability to broker out when it best suites the buyer, online application available to buyers 24/7 @ http://www.deekumapayi.maverickmortgage.com, professional and timely service, on time closings - no stress process for buyers and realtors, we also offer Mavericks "WOW" customer satisfaction, integrity, knowledge of products, and HONESTY.

With that unit filled, I should be able to cover all expenses and have about $100/mo cash flow (which will go directly into an acct to save up for any repairs down the line first; once that's built to my satisfaction, it'll go towards paying down the HELOC.)If all goes well with this unit, I hope to buy another by years end.

Thanks for having me.It's hard to explain the personal satisfaction I feel when the information I provide prevents someone from:[list]Paying too much at a Tax Deed or Foreclosure auction,Buying a vacant lot that is not buildable Buying a property that's loaded down with all kinds of encumbrances[/list:u]Information I provide also allow a bidder to continue bidding when others stop because they don't know the market value of the property and correspondingly, stops while others continue bidding because the bid is beyond market.In some cases the information also allows the investor to contact the delinquent Tax payer and offer to take over the property before it gets to the auction.

Seriously we're in a massive up market and prices will only go higher if you're patient.

I hope you'll all be patient with me as I find my way though this complex investing world.

I know that alot of people like the satisfaction of knowing that if they work x amount of hours they will get Y amount of pay.

My advice is to plan on it being tough at first, but be patient with it, pay your dues and in time it will be rewarding in numerous ways.

Be patient.
