This is the year to be supersizing your real estate investing business.

If you thought last year was big, this year should be even bigger for you. If you missed out on the massive surge last year that saw many investors, and the whole market setting records, then don’t miss out this year.

The Market

Last year saw almost 7M homes being sold. Property prices hit new highs, and most wholesalers couldn’t keep enough inventory on the shelf to meet the demand of their buyers.

Looking at the state of the current market and the outlook for this year, the fundamentals are all lining up.

We have:

• Low interest rates

• Plentiful capital, cash and equity in the market

• Record setting demand

• Large amounts of supply in private marketplaces

With the USA forecast to outpace most of the world in economic growth this year, we can also expect a massive resurgence of inbound international investment.

There may be holes in the market which are suffering as millions of households restructure this year. Though there are also just as many, if not far more housing markets benefiting from this shift.

Are You Thinking Big Enough?

Often the only thing standing between an investor and far bigger goals and rewards is thinking big enough.

Like, often when people first get into real estate they think $1M is a lot of money. A year in they realize that isn’t much at all. There are other people out there not only shooting to build billion dollar businesses, but $50B to $100B plus businesses.

If you aren’t sure if you are thinking big enough, then consider these two recent deals.

One Miami restaurateur just sold a single family home within 24 hours of listing it, for $12.5M, after multiple offers. He had purchased the place for just $3.59M. Not a bad margin on a single deal.

Then there is the fund that just bought an entire new home development of 124 houses for 50% more than the builder expected to get for the homes individually on the retail market. This now seems to be a common practice in which big funds are bidding over overpriced deals and are borrowing hundreds of millions of dollars to do it.

Now we also have pension funds and other institutions which used to invest billions in office space looking to move into residential. Some builders are now tracking how much they are wholesaling in bulk each quarter.

How Do You Make The Leap?

Start with big goals.

Expand what you are looking at in size and volume. Don’t think about what you can afford, but instead how and where to get the funds. Then get busy building your network of bigger buyers and sellers.

 

What are the best Father’s Day gifts real estate investors can give this year?

Father’s Day 2019 falls on Sunday, June 16th. Hopefully we all got to do a lot for moms this year already. This is the chance to celebrate and give something great to all the dads out there. Real estate investors are uniquely positioned to have a great impact. That applies whether you are a mom in the business, a son, daughter, or a father yourself. It’s true whether you are a veteran with your own real estate empire already, or are just starting out in real estate wholesaling.

Quality Time

Fathers typically don’t cut themselves enough slack. They work a lot and rarely take the time they need to avoid burning out. So, one of the best Father’s Day gifts this year, is to give that to them.

If you run a real estate investment business and have fathers working for you, give them the day off. Even better, give them a long weekend to do something special. For the fathers in your life, take time out with them and make new memories, a new tradition and really focus on that quality time.

Share Your Knowledge

Whether all of your money is locked up in transactions or you are flush, you can share your knowledge. That can be one of the most valuable gifts of all. One that no one can take from them, won’t get stuck in a closet or lost in the mail. However little you think you know about real estate investing, it’s probably a lot more than most. Teach your dad, your son, or host a local Father’s Day brunch and train a dozen fathers on how they can make more money and enjoy more free time all year round.

House Deals

You’ve got house deals, give some of those. If there is a father in your life that really needs to conquer their housing situation, maybe you can even gift a cheap home and let them work on it. Or maybe offer a special deal for the weekend.

Bail Outs

You can bet there are a lot of fathers out there who won’t sleep tonight, thinking about how they are going to catch up on their mortgage payments and property taxes. Or where they’ll move their family to when that foreclosure gets finalized. Help them out. Maybe this is a good time to go back to all those leads who weren’t motivated before, and offer them a small bump up in your offer and some relocation help.

Money

One thing no one ever seems to have too much of is the money. That’s especially true for those struggling to make ends meet in a regular job, as well as those wanting to get started in real estate wholesaling, or to up their game. Maybe you can back them on a deal. Or if you don’t have much to spare, turn them onto Best Transaction Funding for financing their first or next wholesale deal. We even offer a referral program so you can get paid too. Or if they have the money, maybe what they need most is the opportunity to invest with you.
