Remodeling can be one of the biggest challenges you have ever faced in your entire real estate-investing career. First, you buy the property. Then you need to plan if you are remodeling or not. If it turns out to be in bad shape, you need to remodel for selling the property later. Then comes the part where you need to plan on how to remodel it. You’ll need to choose what goes out and what stays in. And then the most difficult part is where you actually remodel the property. If you haven’t done any remodeling before, by now, you must have sworn that you are never going to do that. It seems like a lot of work, right? Yes, definitely, it’s a lot of work. But the question is “Is it worth it?” I mean, is the effort and your cost of remodeling worth it when at the end you are just going to sell the property? There is no definite answer. But what I can tell you is the fact that whether it is worth it or not depends on the property itself. If you can’t get yo...

Good times and bad times come after one another. You never know when you need to sell your property for some instant cash. And at times, this could be difficult, especially when you don’t have a single clue about the real estate market. Sometimes, even if you know a thing or two about the real estate industry, there’s no time for you to invest your time in selling your property. In such cases, you cannot help but hire a real estate agent who will sell the property for you. But hiring a reliable real estate agent is not that easy.

Whether it is war-time or the quest for a good deal, the agent you are about to hire should be familiar with your neighborhood. This is true for two reasons. First of all, if the agent doesn’t know his way around your property, he won’t have enough mat...

Not sure if you have noticed it or not, but the number of real estate investors are increasing rapidly. There are three new investors in my area. But this incident of increasing real estate investors in my area made me think. The 3 guys I’m talking about are 2 lawyers and a local mall owner. And as I’ve said, they are new in the industry. They just bought a few properties beside our area over the last couple of months. But I keep asking myself, why? Why did they need to start a real estate investmentcareer? The very first thought that crossed my mind was the economy of ours. Maybe they had saved from their profit and income over the years and instead of putting it into a bank account, they thought why not dig into the real estate industry. They understand well enough that the economy of ours won’t do them much good for them if they couldn’t figure out a way to get a constant cash flow. If this was not the case, then they entered the real estate industry for t...
