HOW DO REAL ESTATE INVESTORS MAKE MONEY?
Common Ways
If you’re thinking about adding “real estate investor” to your resume, you want to know the clearest and quickest path to a profit. So while you’ve got to be ready to ride the market’s highs and lows, here are a few common ways investors make bank month after month:
01.
Long-term residential rentals
People will always need a place to live but keep in mind, location is everything when it comes to real estate. Seriously, everything!
02.
Lease purchase
Lease purchase is a smart way to get involved without having to put up significant capital.
03.
Home-renovation flips
Thanks to the popularity of home renovation shows, no explanation is needed for this one (Think Fixer Upper, Flip or Flop?, and Love It or List It).
04.
Short sales:
A short sale is when a homeowner is behind on their mortgage but not yet in foreclosure. This can be a great opportunity to make a quick profit without investing in lengthy renovations.
05.
Vacation rentals
Investors can make some serious income from vacation rentals — especially if the property is in an hot, in-demand tourist area.
