By Joe Arias

Thinking of investing in real estate? You’ve come to the right place. Real estate has created financial independence for many throughout the years.

Education

No, you do not need a college degree to start investing in real estate. However, you should spend as much of your time as possible learning about investing in real estate. Knowledge is power and the more you learn about real estate, the better chances you have for succeeding. There are a variety of resources for you to learn real estate. It may seem overwhelming but that is a common feeling for many as real estate has so many categories and details. The best thing you should do is just get started. Pick up an interesting real estate book. Watch YouTube videos or listen to podcasts. Join your local real estate group. Talk with an agent. There are so many activities you can take advantage of to start your path towards learning more about real estate.

Finances

Another starting point on your journey towards investing in real estate is figuring out your current financial situation. How much liquid capital do you have access to? How much are you willing to invest? What is your current credit score? These are some of the many questions you should start asking yourself. It is not enough to know everything there is about real estate. You should also develop a strong financial literacy because finances play a big role in your ability to secure deals. A great strategy is to save as much money as you can while you are educating yourself about real estate. That way, by the time you are confident to start investing, you will have access to the capital you need to get started.

Goals

What are your goals? Do you want to achieve financial independence? Are you interested in flipping properties or would you prefer to start buying income-producing properties? Truly think about what you are looking to achieve out of the real estate and write them down. You should revisit your goals daily and weekly. You must be laser-focused when chasing your goals. Also, don’t forget to work backward. What steps will you need to take to achieve your goals? There are so many different options available when it comes to real estate. Think about which path you’d like to take and what outcomes you are looking to achieve.

Categories of Real Estate Investment

By

By Joe Arias

The biggest mistake you can make when investing in real estate is believing there is only one way to invest. You probably have watched several shows on TV and assume the number one way to invest in real estate is a fix and flip deal. However, this is only one niche out of the many that allow you to invest in real estate and generate long-term wealth.

article continues after advertisement

Before going into detail around which categories are available to invest in within the real estate industry, it is best to start with writing down what your goals are. This will ensure you choose the right category that aligns with your level of risk tolerance along with your lifestyle. Some investments like fix and flips require more involvement on your part compared to other options like buying and holding rentals. Another factor to consider is your budget. Maybe you have heard of strategies involving no money down deals and those certainly exist. However, for the majority of investors, you will most likely require some kind of funding towards your first deal. Based on criteria set by your goals, lifestyle, and budget, you can choose from a category that matches your tolerance for investing.

A final note when considering investing in real estate. Don’t leave everything up to the experts. Here at RealSucces we highly recommended that you take the time to educate yourself on how to invest in the category you choose. Do the homework first while saving capital to begin and you will be well-positioned to begin your journey towards creating long-term wealth through real estate.

Invest in REITs – Real Estate Investment Trusts

Wonder how you can take a more liquid position in a real estate investment without worrying about or owning a physical property? A REIT is a low barrier way to begin your journey into investing in real estate. REITs are easily bought like stocks and available on the New York Stock Exchange or NASDAQ. You are buying into companies that own real estate such as residential, commercial, and industrial based properties. Simply use your existing brokerage account or a new one to purchase REITs and earn income in two ways. First, REITs pay a high dividend compared to traditional blue-chip stocks. Second, like a stock, the value of the REIT share can go up which you earn money through appreciation.

Buy and Hold Rentals

Most outsiders associate that being a landlord requires answering the midnight call to unclog a few toilets and criticize that tenants hardly pay rent. That couldn’t be further from the truth. First of all, if you set up your investment correctly, you never have to worry about this at all. You can simply hire a property management group to take care of managing your tenants. Oh and worried about bad tenants? You shouldn’t be. You are the one who gets to vet and filter through who you believe should be best placed in your investment property. Unless of course, you allow your property manager to do it for you. You are given financial records, references, and can request additional information to best vet through the right tenants. Investing in long term rentals is a great way to generate cash flow that can pay for many of your expenses.

Fix and Flips

The traditional fix and flip investment is the most commonly referenced way to invest in real estate. Yes, this requires more of your upfront effort but when you sell the home, you can pocket several thousands of dollars that make it all worth it. While businesses are built on the fix and flip model. Just do your research and see if this approach aligns with your level of involvement you’d like to have in your investment.

There Is More!

Three of the many ways to invest in real estate have been mentioned but there are so many more creative ways to invest. Short-term AirBNB rentals, rent by the room, online real estate platforms, hard money lending, and so many more creative categories exist when investing in real estate. At RealSuccess we give you the tools you need to achieve your goals. The most important thing to remember is to write down your goals and align with the investing strategy that works with your lifestyle and needs.

What Makes Housing “Affordable”?

By

By Kristen Uitto

Providing affordable housing options to families remains a high priority among government and business leaders, especially as the cost to own an average size home continues to rise. Being able to provide affordable housing options to people boils down to planning, design and construction costs, all of which can be reasonably addressed and resolved with a well-planned approach. And as more communities and towns look for ways to help their citizens afford a place to live, there are some smart ways to save on costs while designing and building residences that people will be proud to call “home”.

80/20 Rule

Eighty percent of an affordable housing development can be standardized, meaning that the individual units adapt a repeatable design to save on planning and construction costs. With these savings, more money can be spent on the remaining 20 percent of the development which includes amenities, entry ways, lobbies, courtyards, and many of the common areas that enhance the quality and appearance of the development. The remaining 20 percent is where the magic happens from a design and construction perspective and can truly elevate the appeal of a development.

Efficient Design and Construction

By designing efficient and repeatable floorplans for individual units, an affordable housing development can save money, avoid problems during construction and shorten the learning curve for future developments. This streamlined approach to design should also take into account the types of materials being used for the construction of the development. Durable materials and a simple palette will contribute to a more favorable bottom line. These types of materials include brick, metal siding, fiber cement siding such as Hardie Board, all of which are cost efficient, easily constructable, easy to maintain and reuse and fire resistant for overall safety. The construction industry also provides efficient ideas such as prefabricated and modular construction solutions.

Smart Site Selection

Finding the best site to build on is a critical first step in developing and building an affordable housing community. Doing so will help to avoid delays and costs associated with the entitlement process. For example, the land should have ready access to existing municipal services so nothing new needs to be installed or accounted for (urban infill sites are ideal for this requirement). The land itself should have a level topography (no sloping) to avoid unnecessary design and construction challenges. It should also have good, clean soil (without any brownfield contamination that would need to be excavated and hauled away). Proper drainage is also key to avoid costly issues with ground water and flooding.

Proper Scale

An affordable housing development can more easily attain its goals (in terms of development, design and construction costs, as well as the pricing of homes) with larger projects providing in the range of80-120 units. Projects can achieve economies of scale by increasing production efficiently and spreading the costs over a larger number of repeatable units. Also, a good site can also yield better results when less of the budget needs to be spent on horizontal construction, such as utilities, site access, and grading.

Creative Funding Sources

As the affordable housing crisis continues to be a focal point, more funding sources and support are becoming available, but it does take effort and time to identify and secure them. Some of the readily available sources include federal tax credits, State programs, local level programs and grants. Most affordable housing projects we’re involved with are funded by multiple sources including some private investors.

Overcoming Obstacles

Unfortunately, there is still some NIMBY pushback to affordable housing development. There are also examples of residential developers, often targeted as entities only interested in making-a-buck, who want to include quality affordable housing options in their overall development plan but are stalled due to public resentment and barriers to getting projects approved. In our experience, robust community engagement and outreach can make the difference in a project that gets built and one that fails.

With increased costs and higher interest rates, stagnant salaries and weaker earning power within family units, and inflation affecting everyone’s budgets, affordable housing is an ever-growing need in modern society. It is a need that must be addressed by identifying the most efficient ways to develop, design and build housing that people can afford. A “we’re all in this together” mindset by all stakeholders is necessary to bring more housing to fruition.
