Ten Ways To Find Investment Beach Properties
To get a leg up in the real estate investment world, you have to be proactive. To find bargain beach properties, you need to be actively searching for investment beach properties. Here are ten ways that will help you be a more active investor in beach properties.
1. Talk to everyone. Let people know that you purchase beach properties for investment purposes. Many owners may want to sell but feet reluctant to list their beach property because of real estate fees.
2. Go online. Do an internet search for the type of beach property you are searching for. Just type in the name of the city, the price range, and other factors that match your criteria to see what is available in the market.
3. Drive around looking for "For Sale By Owner" signs. Owners often don't want to pay to keep the ad in the paper every week, so you won't see all beach properties there.
4. Find abandoned beach properties. Now these are a little hard to come by, but they do exist.
5. Search for old "For Rent" ads. Call the landlord to see if he would be willing to sell. The worst thing he can say is no. the landlord may be willing to entertain a legitimate offer.
6. Talk to bankers. You might get a foreclosed-on investment beach property cheaper if you buy it before they list it with a real estate agent.
7. Offer someone a finder's fee. There are people that always seem to hear about the good deals. Have such people coming to you.
8. Eviction notices. Does your local paper print eviction notices in the paper? Is this information available at the courthouse? The owners of these homes may be motivated to sell.
9. Keep a file of FSBO ads. As "For sale By Owner" beach properties have been on the market for 2 or 3 months, owners may become more motivated to sell as circumstances have changed. An offer they turned down 3 months ago, may be accepted today!
10. Put an ad in the paper. "Looking for investment properties to buy," might be sufficient to generate a few calls. - 23311
