{"product_id":"2940013574335","title":"Landing A Motivated Buyer-Make Them Want Your Home-How to List and What To Say","description":"For far too many real estate investors, buying a house below market value means\u003cbr\u003eone thing; trying to 'pretty up' a distressed property in order to benefit from forced\u003cbr\u003eappreciation. In fact, there are plenty of 'gurus' who teach that the way to make\u003cbr\u003emoney in real estate is to find a property in need of 'cosmetic' repairs, hire some\u003cbr\u003ecollege students to paint and sweep for a weekend, and make a fortune overnight.\u003cbr\u003eUnfortunately, it's rarely that easy - especially for the beginning investor. To put it\u003cbr\u003esimply, the risks are much higher than they appear. What if the repairs turn out to\u003cbr\u003ebe structural rather than cosmetic? After all, a house with visible damage is quite\u003cbr\u003elikely to have hidden damage as well. Few beginning investors have the expertise,\u003cbr\u003eor experience, to avoid making a costly mistake - and they know it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEven if the property is well chosen, one rule of thumb in the industry is that \"all\u003cbr\u003erepair projects take longer than you anticipated, and cost more than you planned\".\u003cbr\u003e(In fact, it is often said that the easiest way to become a millionaire in real estate is\u003cbr\u003eto start with two million!) Fear of losing, and the lack of a sizeable cash reserve,\u003cbr\u003ekeeps many people on the sidelines.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book is written for those with the courage to go for their dreams, together\u003cbr\u003ewith the good sense to look before they leap. It is based on the premise that\u003cbr\u003erehabbing, while it can be profitable, is not for beginners, nor for the faint of heart.\u003cbr\u003eA far better (if not so obvious) choice, is to simply invest in pretty houses in nice\u003cbr\u003eneighborhoods. The trick is to be able to buy them at a discount - ideally, 30-40%\u003cbr\u003eor more below appraised market value.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eImpossible, you say? That's exactly how your competition thinks. And that's\u003cbr\u003ewhy they'll keep buying broken-down shacks in bad parts of town, dealing with\u003cbr\u003edestructive tenants and Section 8 issues, and paying realtor commissions that gut\u003cbr\u003etheir profits - if and when they do find a decent property.\u003cbr\u003eBut you'll know better. After reading this information, you'll have dozens of ways\u003cbr\u003eto find the really good deals that others will never even know existed.","brand":"unique5stardeals","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47121089265904,"sku":"2940013574335","price":4.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940013574335_p0.jpg?v=1763582917","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940013574335","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
