Equity in your real estate is a very powerful position to be in.Over the past years, and thanks to my wife's conservative control of our cash flow, we have been able to pay off mortgages that in turn created a large equity base from our portfolio.Having a large equity is a great position for investors.Creating Equity is a great goal to aim for.With Equity an investor can:Have large cash flow Borrow against SellExchangeBlanket mortgagesIncrease net worthIncrease the quality of portfolioIdeas to increase Equity:Control real estate below market valuePay down mortgages by increasing base income flipping propertiesUse substitution of collateral techniquesApply more than regular payments on the mortgageTax Deferred 1031 ExchangesIncrease rental cash flowKeep score of your equity as properties are purchased (make it a game, a goal)Make one equity based offer a week (do this a wealth will follow)Multiply yourself by having others bring you transactions (Locators, Bird Dogs, Agents)Sell things you have (accumulated in your garage or basement) apply proceeds to mortgagesAdvertise and market your services more aggressively Charles
