What's Pre-Construction Real Estate Investing?

By George J. Hanko


The concept of pre-construction investments when it comes to real estate is basically quite a clever way in which many have made millions. The idea is very simple really. Invest in a property before when it is in the planning stage. Those that will be building these buildings need money and financiers in order to do get the building off the ground. By investing (in 1 or 2 cases essentially purchasing options to buy) in the units, generally apartment units in major demand areas, before the ground is damaged financiers commonly have the option of investing for cents on the predicted dollar once the building is complete and can re-sell the property at full market value once the building is complete pocketing the difference in the 1st investment and the standard price.

This is an everybody wins eventuality for many builders or 'owners ' of the property in questions because 'pre-selling ' the units allows lending agents to have faith in the feasibility of the project as a money earner by selling lots of the units sight unseen. The benefit to backers is they can purchase at a cheaper price pre-construction than thereafter and can sell later at the full market valuation (or above in some heavy demand and under saturated areas for property).

This kind of investing is not quite as glamorous to some as flipping property. There aren't any beast to beauty restorations. There are however, some things that should actually be remembered while making this kind of exchange.

First no property venture is ever certain to turn a profit regardless of what the glossy little leaflets tell you. With the existing trends in property sales, this is sometimes not the best environment for pre-construction investing though these things have an inclination to change on a unceasing basis and that market could be looking up again in the future.

Second, networking is more often than not the most highly efficient way to break into this business. There are all kinds of fly by night would be investors in property. The ones that manage somehow to last are the ones that network with other real estate agents as well as folk who have precise interests and experience with pre-construction investments. Join local groups as well as online groups that deal particularly with this kind of investment to get more info quicker. The expenses concerned might appear daunting at first but they are much less than the costs of getting in over your head by not having an understanding of even the most basic 'ins ' and 'outs ' of pre-construction property investing.

Third, develop a close relationship with a realtor that specialises in this particular sort of real estate investing. This can turn out to be the most favorable thing you'll ever do to insure future success. Be developing the right relationship with the right realtor it is straightforward to get info on new properties before they make it to the public sector. This puts you in the rare and fantastic position of thrashing the competition to the punch. This gives you a miles better shot at receiving the unreserved bottom prices that are frequently missed by waiting too long to make the acquisition.

Fourth, be prepared to keep hold of the property for a little time if you'd like to do so. The difficulty with pre-construction investing is that there are no guarantees that when the time comes you'll have managed to 'seal the deal'. Things come up even when you have a customer that's willing and excited to make the purchase. Put in simple words there are occasions when you'll need to hang onto the property for a little time and frequently as a long-term investment. Some options in the case of long term holds would include hiring the property out to visitors if it is in a major demand traveller area. You need to use your realtor to help with that. This authorizes the property to be earning some earnings until the sale can be made. Others decided to hang onto the property as a personal holiday home for themselves, chums, and family. At the end, the important thing is that there is a "Plan B" for the property if the deal fall thru and you are left paying the monthly note.

Pre-construction property investing may not have the 'name in lights ' appeal that other kinds of investing carry however it provides a realistic investment style which has the capacity to bring in major profits. The name of the game when it comes to investing is profits so keep this under consideration when pondering your investment options. This is one of the forms of investing that requires (customarily) the smallest amount of capital up front.
