Investment Opportunities Lie in the Obstacles

All successful real estate investors have one thing in common – they all know where to find the money. They understand that money is the life blood of the real estate investment industry, and they’ve all invested their time and resources to find reliable sources of finance for their deals.

I agree with a lot of industry experts – the opportunity always lies in the obstacle.

In real estate investing, lack of money is a huge obstacle that most investors cannot overcome. Very few investors ever find a solution to the “money” problem. This means that those savvy investors who do find a solution to the money problem face considerably less competition for deals and can cherry pick the best deals.

Think about it a little differently – why is it that we’re taught to make “cash” offers and “close in one week” when trying to buy a property at a discount? It’s because sellers know that cash buyers have the means to actually buy and close on their property. Most sellers would rather accept a sure thing cash deal than a higher offer with financing contingencies.

The great thing about buying real estate is that although you need money it doesn’t need to be your money. It’s called OPM – Other People’s Money. It’s a trillion dollar industry and its goal is to assist people to buy real estate. Companies like banks and lenders want to lend you money. All you need to do to get their money is understand their rules. Probably the most undervalued part of investing in real estate in finding the right financing for your real estate investment deals.

There are many ways to finance a deal. You can get money from a conventional lender, a private lender, the seller, any third party, the property itself and even gift or grant programs. Don’t limit yourself to traditional funding and don’t be afraid to be creative. Need ideas? Attend our FREE Investment Webinar on Wednesday, Feburary 15.
