Just now in late 2010 and 2011 they actually going to "blast off" due to the current state of the financial markets. I am not saying that high volume REO bargains do not go down. Are you going to go for residential or commercial?

The most important concern of property investors is cash. Cash is already synonymous with real estate investment opportunities because without it, you will not be able to purchase any property. The property investor will most likely look for financing options because after several investments, you will definitely need additional capital or income. Traditional financing is the most common option and it usually involves banks. The requirements can be strict and you may need to accomplish many forms. After submitting the forms, you will now wait for the bank's approval.

The real estate investment opportunities estate market is in meltdown right now. House prices are plummeting, foreclosures through the roof, people living in their cars and houses selling for $1. I've been watching a lovely 4 bedroom home in Florida that is listed on eBay right now for a starting bid of $1.

Check the credentials of the seller. Do in depth research on how long the web site has been in existence, whether there are any complaints registered against them, if they will provide references you can verify. A background check is absolutely a must.

In 1945, The French Legation was purchased by the State of Texas. Four years later it was established as a museum by the Daughters of the Republic of Texas. They spent several years restoring the building before opening it to the public in 1956.

By understanding your seller's motivation, you establish yourself as more than just a real estate investor; you become a much needed solution to his problem. And that's when you can kick back for a bit, and let the "good things" come to you!

Another way to make money from home investing in real estate is to purchase and sell lots. Your first REO purchase, and probably your second one also, should be a smaller portfolio of properties.
