Buying correctly is the key to being successful in RE

The buyers have determined that this property is in the wrong neighborhood for $1,000,000 and they wouldn't even buy it at $269,000.The key to pricing a property is knowing the neighborhood that it resides in.

The Jones' built the house but NO ONE was keeping up with them.The key is knowing the neighborhood and what is considered over doing it, in line, and under doing it.

I secured it up to $1000.00 so I could easily pay for things like my gas groceries and phone while only utilizing 20-30% of my balance, which I have heard is the key to establishing credit.

But, if you think you'll have more, leveraging your cash is a key thing to do.While I agree with @Uriah D. that you might want to consider wholesaling, nothing can beat the experience if you do want to do more flips.

To me, the big key is to get your occupancy up to at least 90% and then you start raising rents and charging tenants back for things.

Please mail me $50 and I will give you the key piece of information, one word, to be applied to real estate to be successful.Frank
