Basic Walkthrough Of Investment Realty

By Kevin Ierardi


Investment realty is a subject that covers a wide area of real estate and making a profit from real estate. For now, this is a review of the basics in how real property commerce is dealt with and understood. Real property is property that may have land or buildings on the land.

An investor is typically the owner of the property. An investor owns the water, the land, its crops, minerals, or anything else that is a part of the property. Real estate is not black and white, it also covers the area where investors buy property, sell property, or use the property for ongoing profits. While many property owners might sell direct, others use the services of a real estate agent. An agent works to sell your home for a percentage commission.

In general circumstances, an estate agent focuses purely on selling the property, and the marketing it takes to bring in potential buyers. Agents usually use the local listings as well as online to generate leads in selling the property. The agent has little, if any, risk when it comes to selling property. If they do not sell the property, they do not get paid.

While agents are focused on making sales, they do not typically invest in the property itself. Most of the time, the agent only foots the bill for marketing material that helps him sell the home. Another term to be aware of in investment realty is income property. Income property is property that is setup to yield perpetual income, typically on a monthly basis. Property management and income property are fine examples of how it works.

Income property are those apartment complexes, condos, hotels, etc. That you see in your city. Typically, an investor will purchase the property, set the guidelines, hire a property manager, and either keep the building or sell it at a later date when its value is higher than it originally was before it was purchased. It is best to get in this field as early as possible and sell as early as possible.

It seems easy to just purchase some properties and let your tenants foot the bill while you gain a profit. The truth is, if you have income property, you have to ensure that your building is up to code and tenants are satisfied. This field is lucrative and can yield easy profits.

Some homes are foreclosed, and this works in favor of an investment realty plan that an investor has laid out. Now that the realty basics have been covered, the rest is micromanagement. There are many ways to get in real estate investment, but once the ball is rolling, the rest can come easy.
