One of today's leading experts in real estate investing, James Nelson reveals his game-changing approach for making real estate a key part of your investment strategy. The Insider's Edge to Real Estate Investing describes how to identify and purchase properties that align with your goals and experience in the market. Far more than a fix-and-flip guide, however, it then walks you through the process of building a team and creating an expanding portfolio that increases in value and generates ongoing returns. Nelson offers ten proven steps he's learned over his twenty-plus years of experience as a real estate broker and investor:
1. Find the Right Property Type; 2. Create Your Dream Team; 3. Spot the Gems; 4. Know What to Look For; 5. Initiate the Underwriting Process; 6. Raise Capital; 7. Close the Deal; 8. Reposition the Property; 9. Find the Right Tenants; and 10. Reap the Rewards.
You'll learn everything you need to know, from locating properties and the fundamentals of underwriting to raising capital and using tax advantages to invest in more properties. As your real estate investing cycle continues, the snowball of value rolls along, bringing in returns that can support your lifestyle, build a legacy, and create a sense of gratification as you help others along the way.
