Q:The REI Investor, Tax lien deed Investor, The short sale foreclosure investor, The pre-Forclosure Investor, The Options Contract Investor, The Developer, The Forclosure investor. Are there any more unique types of investments other than what i have listed? If so fill me in ,im tryng to broaden my knowledge on the differnt types of Investment Opportunities in Real Estate. And when you answere the question let me know witch phase you like best and why, Thanks see see!

Probate purchases are kinda cool... Its a strategy that nobody remembers about and most dont pursue it even after they learn it. Big pool, big fish... not so many investors which is good if you dont want competition. You name alot of good ones already too.

Q:i am in high school right now going in to 12th grade and i want to be a real estate agent... the thing is i really hate math and i really don't want to take math 12 this year ... what are the real estate high school requirements so i can be a real estate agent ???

There are none. If you have a simple grasp of basic arithmetic is all you need. There is no formal requirement to get a real estate license. Any high school drop out can get a RE license if they take the required classes and pass the test. You do have to take a few classes of informal training but again anyone can do it. However, the reality is real estate agents make their money entirely on commission and no adult (other than maybe your parents and grand parent) are going to let a 18 year old represent them in purchasing a home. Also it takes a sizable amount of money to get started in the RE business. Realtor and MLS dues, lock box purchase and fees, advertising costs, car expenses, cards, signs, office expenses etc. It costs about $3000-$5000 a year minimum.

Q:Hi, i'm getting my licence in real estate and I really don't know how is in the real world. Do someone has good tips on that, like how to avoid bad clients? how can you tell that they just want to see houses? I don't know if you can tell me from your experience so that I can avoid. Also if you know how to persuade clients, or a really good line that they always fall for. I don't know anything you want to advice me on will be good.

Unfortunately no one really does know the truth about starting in real estate until you get started. It is a demanding job and you have to be able to talk (sell) people. If you don't go out and get the business you will be like 90% of other agents and only have a few deals a year. I have found the skills, knowledge, and support through the Mike Ferry Organization. He is one of the nations top real estate motivational trainers speaker. He focus' on lead generation and straight forward business tactics. I have seen the power of his training create top producers in real estate. He has many free downloads, scripts, etc on his website and if you like his stuff he has several different live training programs throughout the states. Good luck to you and I hope you prosper as it is a fantastic market no matter where you are! It is what you put into it.

Q:HI,I'm only 13 years of age, and for some reason, i am quite interested in investing in real estate. i've read plenty of books on the subjects, even if i could only about understand about 10% of what I read. i undertsnad that at the moment that the market in this subject is falling? i was wonder if i could still make money in this market, and if i could, could you give me the main points of the how to's? and what are the risk of investing besides losing your property. i know i'm still young, and people are probably thinking this is to complicated for a kid to understand, but i belive that if i wanted to suceed in this investment, then i will. in time that is (:

Q:Can a Real Estate Agent's Commission paid based on difference between the property sale price and the actual sale price? Meaning, if the realtor offering a property for sale at $100,000, can the agent offer to find a buyer who can pay $120,000 for the same property and to have the price difference ($20,000) as his/her commission? If yes, what type of commission contracts does the agent need to have with the realtor and the buyers? Thank you,

A seller can request to receive X amount of dollars from the sale, and anything the Realtor can get over that amount is his commission. A standard contract can be used, but this special provision must be written in and initialed by all parties.

Q:Is there any way to find complaints that were filed against a particular real estate agent?

Real estate is Property consisting of land and the buildings on it, along with its natural resources such as crops, minerals, or water; immovable property of this nature; an interest vested in this; (also) an item of real property; (more generally) buildings or housing in general. Also: the business of real estate; the profession of buying, selling, or renting land, buildings, or housing.

Q:I am a college student in Tx. I read up a bit on how to get a real estate license. I am considering taking classes at a community college. Has anyone ever done this?

I have taken real estate classes. You should also look into the local real estate companies in your area, most of them offer real estate classes for a lot less than the community college's. A good one is Long Foster. You should also be able to get a list of companies that give the approved classes from your state licensing board. Good Luck!!

Q:real estate laws in ca.

Here is a website of all California Laws.

Q:1) I know some people start small w regard to rental property investments but why couldn't this happen? Buy a property for $40k, rent it for at least $500/month, build up enough cash reserves, say 4-5k in an account for that particular house to cover major repairs, then turn around and do it again w another house of comparable value (build up cash reserves), until one has 4-5+ houses? Is this how people typically do well financially by owning real estate? Slow, steady additions to their portfolios of houses?

When taking on large debt make sure someone else is paying for it. Rental properties follow this rule very well because when you take on a mortgage, large debt, on a property and you put it up for rent and the people who are renting the property pay for the mortgage.. But don't base your numbers around tax cuts. Do your research and make sure when you take on a mortgage that you can come out positive income on the rental property every month and look at taxes cuts as a bonus. This is a golden rule for veteran investors in real estate because the tax reform act of 1987 caused a depression because people were relying on tax breaks and when the government changed the tax laws and eliminated those tax breaks those people who used them as a factor when making a deal now weren't getting that money. Therefore the structure of their deal and agreements fell apart. There is thousands of pages of tax code and more is added and taken away every year so simply just don't factor in tax cuts when putting the numbers in to figure income every month or if an investment is smart or not. Also when considering a deal if you do not come out positive every month pass on the deal. And base your information on facts not opinion when making a deal for example if someone says the property will be worth x amount of dollars in x amount of years your going off that persons opinion and not facts. Learn to tell the difference between the two early on. Some more advice when investing in real estate is to put the money down and get things into motion. I say this because when you finally put the money down you learn more than can be taught in a book, but also remember with learning come mistakes and don't be afraid to make them and don't let them stop you for reaching your goals. One last thing when investing in real estate just follow the game of monopoly and get 4 red houses and turn them into a hotel!

Q:does a person who has a licence in real estate legal to assist a buyer even though this person is not connected with the association and a broker?

I had been a whole time truly property agent on the grounds that 1978. I could not ever supply a customer the dealers quantity- if the customer needs to supply them their quantity they may be able to- however no longer me. A new agent would possibly not recognise any bigger- that's the way it mostly occurred. You are accountable for a few matters even now. But frequently it could be like this name- wherein they simply have no idea wherein a reduce off is or some thing. In a few circumstances a vendor misrepresented whatever within the sale and the customer could be competent to sue- however that's very infrequent.
