Real Estate Investing Memphis, Tennessee Area

Real estate investing involves purchasing, owning, managing, renting, or selling single family, apartment, or commercial properties for a greater return on your investments. Even when the economy is bad, people are still very interested in investment properties.

Real estate is a great way to invest your hard earned dollars because of the advantage of finance leverage. We all know investing can be risky, but investment in the real estate market usually far exceeds that of investments made in the stock market.

You can make real estate investments with less capital because you are taking on a mortgage. Yet, if you invest $5,000 in a home that appreciates from $100,000 to $155,000 in ten years, you have a ROI (return on investment) of an incredible 1,100 percent. If you take $100,000, put it in the stock market and ten years later it has appreciated to $200,000, your ROI is only 100%.

One of the best investment properties to consider purchasing is foreclosed or bank owned distressed properties. These are properties that have fallen into foreclosure and are owned by the bank or the government. The bank or government is eager to get rid of them as soon as possible to control their losses. They will often work with investors to move these properties quickly.

When looking to purchase investment property, you have several options.

1. Through a self directed IRA

A self directed IRA (individual retirement account) is one in which the owner of the IRA is required to make investment decisions with the IRA assets being held by a trustee or custodian. In other words, you use your IRA plan to invest in real estate.

2. Short term financing through hard money lenders

This option is where you obtain investment property financing from hard money lenders. Hard money loans are secured based on the value of a piece of investment property. Because it comes with a higher interest rate, a hard money loan is used temporarily until a bridge loan can be secured.

3. Regular cash buys

4. Original financing at 20 percent down through a lender

Once you purchase the properties, they can be rented out, but you as the landlord are responsible for paying the mortgage, taxes, and any costs for maintaining the property as well as finding renters.
