Investing in Rent-to-Own Property by Mark Loeffler Pdf

Investing in Rent-to-Own Property is the distillation of years of investment experience in real estate. It is a both strategy and a system, which provides stable, proven returns for the investor. On the flip side of the coin, the homebuyer is provided a house that fits their needs and budget. Why should an investor have rent-to-own as part of his or her investment portfolio? This book lays out in clear detail the benefits of rent-to-own and how to get started with a rent-to-own strategy. Loaded with tips and case studies, here are the core components of the system: How to identify properties How to carry out due diligence Smart financing strategies How to market your system and attract interested tenants-homebuyers How to identify and choose tenants-homebuyers The rent-to-own contract Obligations of the investor to the tenant-homebuyer Obligations of the tenant-homebuyer to the investor The team of experts: agent, lawyer, lender, home inspector, accountant Exit strategies There are many singles and couples who for a variety of reasons opt for a rent-to-own opportunity. For some it's an opportunity to check out a location for a couple of years so that they're certain it's the house and neighborhood they want for the long-term; for others it's the desire to own a home but need to grow their down payment-having a nice home while they save is a terrific option. The expertise of the investor in identifying the right property and providing the right financing is another significant aspect for the tenant-homebuyer. The benefits for the investor are many: a solid property in an area where the fundamentals are strong; great tenants who respect the property; a profitable investment even with a downturn in the market. Investing in Rent-to-Own Property is the quintessential tool for investors who have yet to take advantage of a proven money-maker or for those investors who want the benefit of a proven system to build their portfolio.

Investing in Rental Properties for Beginners by Lisa Phillips Pdf

This book is about investing in sub $30k properties (under $30,000) and becoming a wealthy real estate investor enjoying the profits now, rather than later ... with only 2-5 properties instead of hundreds or overly priced properties. This book on investing in rental properties for beginners is the foundation of what I've built 47,000 person social media platform on - helping the average person get involved in rental properties on an average income, and building the cash flow of their dreams with 2-5 properties. That's it. This will teach you (the ordinary investor) how to tailor your investment strategy to your pocketbooks (and no one else's). You don't need to ask your parents or friends for loans because the best approach to building a rental portfolio is by purchasing units in modest neighborhoods that offer really high rents (i.e. purchase a $44,000 rental that earns $1200 a month in rents). If being a real estate investor is your dream and being a landlord is not, this is the book for you! The author will personally take you through the steps she's used on over 560 people to build their dream income and lifestyle.

The Wealthy Renter by Alex Avery Pdf

A National Bestseller! Why be house poor when you can rent rich? “Why rent when you can buy?” More than any other, this phrase captures the overwhelmingly unanimous promotion of home ownership to Canadians. Real estate agents, mortgage brokers, family, friends, and even the government promote ownership as a safe, attractive, and sure-fire path to personal wealth. This one-size-fits-all advice ignores the reality of Canada’s housing market. Canadians deserve better advice. Faced with expensive house prices in a near-zero interest rate world, it’s time Canadians heard the virtues of renting and seriously considered renting as an alternative to home ownership. Real estate analyst Alex Avery insists renting offers a simple, more affordable way to live, plus in Canada’s frenzied housing market, going month-to-month is dramatically lower risk. He claims the reputation of home ownership as a wealth building strategy is unfounded and shows renters how to replace bricks-and-mortar with better investment opportunities.
