Designing Your Own Real Estate Investment Strategy
Now itâs time to develop a real estate investment strategy that fits your investment goals, your investment style, your current financial situation, and even your special skills, talents, and interests.
First, when developing a workable strategy, ask yourself the following questions:
- Does your current schedule provide time to build sweat equity or manage a property?
- Do you want to be a landlord?
- Does property ownership fit your lifestyle, i.e., do you travel a lot, etc.?
- Does property ownership fit into your overall investment strategy?
- Does property ownership reflect your investment style?
- Other than cash, what skills, talents, and/or interests do you bring to the table?
By answering these six questions, youâll develop a better feel for how real estate investments can best fit into your life and know which investments are suited for your investment style, lifestyle, and personal traits and characteristics.
Next, think about your current investments and your approach to investing in general. Letâs take a quick look at some investment fundamentals to keep in mind when designing your personal real estate investment strategy.
Diversification
Diversification is nothing more than âDonât put all your eggs in one basket.â (Mom was right!) Diversification is an important consideration in the development of any collection of assetsâstocks, bonds, mutual funds, CDs, and gold coinsâhow you divvy up your assets (your investment portfolio) counts when it comes to making money.
Many financial gurus use the pyramid model to describe how a diversified asset portfolio might look.
A conservatively diversified investment portfolio
If you have a greater risk tolerance or a twenty- to thirty-year time horizon before you intend to dip into your savings, you might want to juice up the top and middle layers of the pyramid to generate more reward at some increased risk.
Look at your assetsâyour IRA, 401(k), stock, and bond holdingsâall paper assets. A small investment in real estate diversifies you out of paper and into something tangibleâreal estate. Itâs a different kind of investment in a completely different market (from stocks and bonds), and plain and simple, real estate adds real diversification to virtually any collection of paper assets.
Preservation of capital
Straight up? Hold on to what you got. The last thing you want to do is worry about your nest egg losing value. Real estate is a terrific investment for investors concerned about keeping what they have and those with short investment time horizons.
Real estate investments help preserve capital in several ways:
- Property holds its value better, even when the stock and bond markets are tanking.
- Property usually increases in value at a faster rate than paper assets.
- Property offers flexibility to you, the private investor, by providing a number of investment strategies for changing financial times and your personal circumstances, i.e., rental property for monthly income to buying houses to fix up and sell quickly.
Property ownership is not only one of the best tools for growing wealth but also one of the best tools for preserving what youâve already got.
Leveraging
Leveraging is simply using other peopleâs money to make money for yourself. Your home is a perfect example. You put down a small amount of money on your home and borrowed the rest from a mortgage lender. Now, ten years later, your home is worth twice what you paid for it. So who keeps all of that increase in property value? You, the smart investor.
Letâs say you put down $10,000 on your home when you bought it for $120,000 ten years ago. Today, the house is appraised at $200,000. In fact, you made a profit of $80,000 on a $10,000 outlay. You put up $10,000 and walk away with $80,000 when you sell. Thatâs the power of leveragingâone of the most appealing aspects of real estate investing.
Increased control of your investments
Buy $5,000 of IBM, and youâre at the mercy of IBMâs management to make the right business decisions and to operate ethically and legally. (Remember Tyco, WorldCom, Enron, etc.) You have no control over your investment dollars.
Invest that same $5,000 in a fixer-upperâfix it up and sell it for a tidy little profit. Itâs your investment, your money, and youâre in control.
Whereâs your money now?
Before entering the investment real estate market, itâs always a good idea to figure out where you are at the momentâwhat financial experts call a portfolio analysis, which is just a fancy way of asking, âHow much money do you have, and where is it?â
If youâve got money in anything from a passbook savings account to mutual funds, to stocks and bonds, to cash stuffed in a coffee can, guess what? You have an asset portfolio. So step one in becoming a real estate investor is to analyze your current financial situation.
A fresh coat of paint, a bit of landscaping and a good cleaning can lead to big profits.
Pay particular attention to the following:
- How much cash you have available. This is called your liquidity. Money stashed in an IRA, 401(k), some annuities, and other investments isnât liquid, that is, you canât get at it without paying some really stiff penalties. So focus on things like stocks and bonds (outside of your IRA), CDs and other cash instruments, money market accounts, passbook savings, and the cash buried in the backyardâmoney you can inve...
