Making money in real estate is one part timing, one part luck, and the rest is planning. While you may not be able to control the timing or your luck, you can make a plan to make money. Having a plan makes it more likely that your investment will become a success story, rather than a cautionary tale.
When it comes to investment planning, no one does it better than Texas hard money lenders. Hard money lenders give specialized, cash based loans for investments. It may be your first fix and flip, but they are seasoned professionals who are used to weathering bad markets and still coming out on top. Here are a few tips from Texas hard money lenders that will help make sure you come out on top too.
- Choose the location of your investment property wisely. You can change finishes, renovate kitchens, and even knock down walls. Short of investing in a trailer (which Texas hard money lenders don't recommend, by the way), you can't move a house. Make sure you pick a desirable location to make the most money on your investment.
- Don't over-extend yourself. Don't spend more on a house than you can reasonably make when you sell it. Also, don't over-renovate because this will make you lose money in the long run.
- Get an accurate appraisal of any property BEFORE you buy it. Most flippers get appraisals after they fix up a property, but if you have lost money it is too late at this point. Having the property appraised before you purchase it will give you an idea of if you're getting a good deal and will help you gauge what you may be able to sell it for.
- Get an inspection. While most investment properties are sold as is, a home inspection can help you make sure that there are not issues that are beyond your ability or budget to deal with.
By following these tips from Texas hard money lenders, you can make money and save yourself time and stress on your first real estate investment project.
