You Can Sell Investment Real Property Successfully

November 7, 2009 by  

The key to making money when you sell investment property is to buy low and sell high. This can be far easier to say then to do in reality. However, if you are willing to invest some time with your money, you can make a good profit off your investment.

When the property market is bad, the best course you can do is to hold onto the properties and make money off it by renting. It is also the best time to buy new property for sale when the market picks up.

Selling it by rent to own is a good choice when the market is not good for sales. By making it available to more people that otherwise would not have a chance in getting a home, you can pull in a steady income, and still sell your house. If they default, you can keep the house and hope for the properties to go up and be able to sell it outright.

When property investments are selling well, this is less trouble for you. Sell all your properties, and make a profit quickly. Do look for deals so you can stay on this trend and make the most money while houses are selling.

You can always list it with an agent. Choosing which of the many property investment companies to use is another matter. This can get your property out to the highest number of people that would be interested in your real estate. It also allows you not to have to learn the legal jargon for selling the house, and frees up your time by allowing the agent to show the house instead of you.

No matter what the market is, you can sell your house and get the price back you want on your investment. Either method can produce the result you want: a sold property.

    Your accountant is wrong; discharged debt is not taxable income, and is addressed with the IRS through form 982.

    The mortgage servicers want you to short-sale, because they will make more money if you do the work of selling, rather than through a foreclosure. The question is, what do YOU get out of a short sale? It will be only slightly better for your credit – in 3 years it will make no difference at all. Is it worth the time, money, and effort? Doubtful.

    If you're concerned about losing money on a transaction stick to the lowest priced properties. These homes have taken the biggest hit already and so you have some price protection on the bottom. If you're looking for the most bang for your buck, then stick to higher end properties because once they recover you have more of the bank's money working for you than your own. Higher end properties carry more risk, so it's up to you to determine your tolerance.

    My advice though is to not treat it like a quick trade because real estate in general is pretty illiquid and has high transaction costs involved. If you're looking to get in and out quickly stick to stocks or options instead. If you do plan on owning something for a couple of years, pay attention to the rent/own ratio to figure out what kind of return you can get on your money while waiting. Ultimately though it comes down to how quickly you think a recovery will take place and how much risk you're willing to accept.

    For example, a $100,000 home that can produce $1,000 per month in rent is less risky and can offer higher income returns than a $500,000 that is producing $3,000 a month in rent. If property values in general rise though, you'll make more in appreciation on the $500,000 property than the $100,000 property. If you're in it for 3 years or longer, I'd stick with the cheap properties and try to buy as many as you can.
