Get help choosing the right investments

Real estate investing is a great way to make some extra money and diversify your portfolio. Savvy real estate investors look for properties that are below market value. A good way to find these is to look at buildings that are foreclosures. Some buildings that have been foreclosed on will be ready to rent or resell immediately at a profit. Other buildings may need renovations or updates in order to sell them. Ask your Century 21 real estate agent what they feel would be the best strategy for your particular situation.

Ask for foreclosure listings

Obtaining and reading a listing of properties that have been foreclosed on certainly has its advantages. Ideally a listing will have a photo of the property as well as any pertinent information about the property. Pertinent information on the listing will include the asking price, which usually can be negotiated even on a property that has been foreclosed on. The lot features such as lot size, sewer and utilities should be listed as well as building interior and exterior features. It is imperative to your investment strategy that you do get a listing of foreclosed properties, either from a bank, credit union, mortgage company, real estate agent or online. Most of these properties will not have a for sale sign in front of them or be listed until after they have been put on the market which could mean less negotiating power for you. Many times the companies that have repossessed the properties will send someone around to do repairs or other updates to the property before they are listed with a real estate agent. Making an offer on these properties before that happens can lead to a win-win situation for everyone involved.
