Real Estate Investing for Dummies

Real Estate Investing for Dummies gives you the keys to successful real estate investment, whether it’s in single family homes and condos, apartments, vacation homes, commercial properties (office, industrial, and retail), raw land, or REITs (Real Estate Investment Trusts). With guidance from authors Eric Tyson, MBA, a financial counselor, and Robert S. Griswold, a veteran real estate investor, you’ll discover how to:

• Find and buy the best properties at a fair price
• Capitalize on opportunities such as foreclosures, no money down deals, auctions, tax sales, and more
• Secure financing and good mortgage terms
• Value, evaluate, and negotiate everything to do with real estate
• Work with agents and other professionals
• Project income potential and cash flow
• Handle contracts, inspections, and closings

Whether you’re interested in a fixer upper for rental, premier office space you can lease, or a vacation home you can enjoy and rent, when you become a buyer, you also become a landlord. That means you can hear from tenants any time, night or day. It means you may not hear from them when the rent is due.
