Learning About Real Estate Investment Partnering

By Tara Millar


Have you ever wished to invest in real estate, but you have been concerned that you did not have the cash you wanted? Maybe you have money, but you're feeling like you just do not know enough? Or, you might have loads of cash, and you already know a lot about real estate investing, but you are simply too busy to seek out the deals?

Should you just throw in the towel, and wait till you have everything you want?

NOT!

If you find yourself lacking one, two, or perhaps all three of the sources you need (cash, time, and information) why not do what I and other savvy buyers do? Associate with someone who brings to the table what you possibly can't.

Let me offer you three examples from my world. Right now, I have more money and knowledge than time, so I partner with individuals who have an abundance of time, and we complement each other.

Last year, I partnered with my sister on a flip in the state she lived in at the time, North Carolina. I put up the money to get right into a single-family foreclosure, and she or he put in the time and expertise to get a minimal rehab carried out in about four months. We flipped the home and cut up about $20,000. Not too dangerous, contemplating I had almost zero time invested, and solely about $10,000 cash in danger for four months.

Last year I additionally partnered with another couple on a foreclosure that we are going to maintain for rent. I put $40,000 cash out for three months, they put about 2 months' time and about $3500 materials into the rehab. We pulled our cash out in a refi, and the house is now nicely rented out at a $300 positive monthly cash flow.

Next, I partnered with my son on a mobile house flip. Mobile houses are nice little deals to use for teaching new traders the mechanics of a deal. I paid $2000 for the home, another $1000 for lot rent and supplies, and he put in a couple weeks' time to paint and carpet. We break up about $5500 profit. Nice little deal.

If you concentrate on it, there are as many ways to partner as there are totally different sorts of deals and various kinds of investors. You are only restricted by your imagination. The secret's to take a look at what you bring to the desk, and what you don't. Then, discover somebody within your community who has what you don't, be it time, cash, or skills.

Next, method them with the concept that you would like to partner on a deal. Most individuals will leap on the likelihood, in the event you put it in clauses they'll understand. Most especially, emphasize what you can do for them.

As an example, if it's time you have and cash you want, discover a busy person who has some money to invest. Clarify that you've the time to search out the deal and do all of the groundwork. If they can present the money, present them what's in it for them. Be honest and tell them what you can do and what you possibly can't do.

Do not get frustrated if the primary few individuals you strategy say no. Be patient. You will find somebody in case you persist with it.

Now, go make more offers!
