Are commercial fixer-uppers worth the time, expense and effort? My answer to that would be that the right fixer-upper with numbers that make sense can be the right strategy to use.

Commercial fixer-uppers employ one of my favorite value plays called “repositioning”.

Most real estate investors are aware of the potential profit from buying government-seized properties -- homes and other types of property the government has acquired from tax cheats, drug dealers and other criminals.

While this is unfortunate for the previous owner, it creates opportunity for investors who act fast and know what to do.

Successful negotiation skills are an art form and must be mastered for you to achieve your investment goals.

Financing plays a vital role in real estate investing -- and this includes buying foreclosed homes.

Following is a quick look at some of the pros and cons of using your own money to buy a foreclosure property. Pros of Using Your Own Money One of the best reasons to use your own money to buy a foreclosed home is rate and terms -- there aren't any.

Lead generation is a foundational activity of your commercial real estate business. Without it, you’ll fail before you even begin.

There has been a tremendous amount of recent focus on the housing crunch, and the impact it has had on our economy as a whole. While many indicators point to signs of recovery in our economy, ask someone who has lost a job if they think the stock market is a good indicator of economic health. You get the idea.

When consumers experience life changes that require them to move, they have a number of options for where to go next.

Negotiation is something I refer to often because it is an important aspect of business and life. It's a form of accommodation, adjustment, and diplomacy.

I am a small business owner and sometimes just to break the monotony in the hiring regiment I will ask a prospective interviewee if they would work for free. I do this because I understand that the standard resume and usual interview questions are predictable. So, when I pitch this curve ball and inquire “would you work for free” I am trying to see if the prospect can think out of the box. Now I am aware that interviewing in itself is a stressful process but well thought out or rehearsed standard answers are not what I am looking for at all.

We are starting to receive requests from lenders who ask for a seller contribution before a short sale can be approved. This trend is different from the days where a lender would be able to just review the seller’s financial documents to verify that they do not have funds available to contribute.

In one of our short sales, Litton Loans, the junior lienholder proposed that the seller contribute to a promissory note of 5% of the principal balance, which amounted to $7,000.

Success is just a mindset; you hear this old saying all of the time or what about “Small opportunities are often the beginning of great enterprises.

“It’s tangible, it’s solid, it’s beautiful. It’s artistic from my standpoint.

Negotiating with the foreclosing lender is the best option to stop a foreclosure. Lenders are in the business of loaning money, not owning homes.

There have been so many news articles about homeowners walking away from the financial obligation to their mortgage. In response, there has been a lot of opinions about how these homeowners are not taking an ethical stance and avoiding their responsibilities.

Ultimately, this means the nation as a whole will be responsible to helping the housing market through higher taxes.

Any serious investor sets real estate investor goals on a regular basis... here's my take on setting these real estate goals. Effective goals are the key to being successful in the real estate business. Without goals, it’s like you are that hamster on the wheel or a ship without a rudder. Let’s face it. If you are planning a long car trip, you wouldn’t do it without either bringing a GPS with you or plotting your trip on a map. If you don’t know where you are going, how are you going to get there? Once you know where you are going, you have got to have a plan.

The better negotiator you are, the more deals you close. Negotiations do not start when you make an offer, negotiations start with the first contact you have with a potential seller. I am going to lay out a technique that I learned many years ago and I’ve used since, to close over 7,000 units in my 18 plus years of real estate investing. I call it… The Safe Island Technique. Imagine you are going to have a major operation. When talking to your doctor, the doctor doesn’t tell you, “show up tomorrow morning and we will remove that spleen and you’ll be as good as new in a few days.”

In real estate, negotiation is more like art than science. Some might also consider it to be like a dance because both parties go back and forth with each other... with hopes of bringing both of them to something better, with each person achieving win-win results.
