So you Want to Invest in Real Estate

By: Jennifer Mackay

You are not alone!

If you're anything like me, you're always looking for ways to increase your personal financial situation.

I'll wager you've said to yourself at one point or another: "How do I get into Real Estate Investing." or "I wish I could invest in real estate, but it's too expensive."

Well, let me assure you we all have to start somewhere.

Even the most successful, experienced investor had to start from the beginning.

A few ground rules...

First let's agree that unlike stocks or bonds investing, real estate investing is not considered a 'Liquid' investment.

What this means is, you can not sell real estate as quickly as you can sell stocks or bonds. Stocks or bonds can typically be traded very quickly through a stocks brokeragefirm.

Real estate however, requires skill, patience, a marketable product and proven expert techniques to liquidate. Even when using a professional real estate agent, it may take awhile to sell real estate investment property.

Many things affect the ability to quickly liquidate real estate, one of which is the current condition of the market place.

Realizing and understanding limitations of real estate will save you grief and money as you plan your real estate investment strategy.

Knowing you can not simply 'Flip' (the process by which you can buy and sell real estate property very quickly) every real estate investment opportunity that comes along will assist you in making sound real estate investment decisions.
