Three Ways to Invest in Real Estate

-
By Miguel Dos Anjos 
      We will be looking into 3 different ways of making money with real estate. The opportunities are out there. It will be your choice to pick the one that fits your budget, and specific needs best.  

1 - Crowed Funding
       Crowdfunding funds large projects collecting small amounts of money from a large amount of people. You may not be ready to buy your own home or make a big real estate investment, but that doesn’t necessarily means you cannot invest in real estate. New technology and new investing platforms are making easier than ever before, to invest in real estate with less than $1,000. 

Investments can be in apartment buildings, offices, retail stores, restaurants and even senior houses. There are over 100 websites that allow you to invest in a portion of the real estate market, and you don’t need a lot of money to get in. Even as little as $500 can get you started. Returns can be on the double digits.

Make sure you do your homework, some of these sites charge high fees, also, make sure there is an easy way out when you want to take your profit out, and leave.  

Check out the location of the investments to make sure there is solid employment in the area, a good population growth, and high demand.


2 - Become a Land Lord
       There are rental companies that help you find, purchase, and manage rental homes. They even 
help you sale the home when you want to get out. They do charge a fee.

Choose a location that is in high rental demand. A great way to go about this is to look at those very high demand areas, that often times are over inflated areas. What you might want to do is not by in a high inflated area, but drive 5 to 10 minutes away from that specific location, but not too far away. Those types of spots, still developing and growing may offer you a more affordable deal, and still be in a high demand area since it is not far from where the action is happening.

Real state returns come both in rent and in an increase in the home’s value over time.

Make sure the rent you can charge is high enough to cover all monthly costs, which includes: mortgage, principal, interest, property taxes, homeowners insurance, repairs, maintenance and still allow cash flow.

Develop a down time saving, every couple of years or so you will get a month or more without tenants, or transitioning to a new tenants. Make sure to screen your; to be tenants, to prevent later in time unwanted surprises or headaches.

Make sure you understand the area you will be investing. The area you grew up in; is probably a good example of an area you understand. Visit as many homes as you can during the process of choosing the right home, make sure the area’s economy is strong, healthy, and the local businesses are thriving, there are good schools, high demand, and the properties are not over inflated.

All this takes time to set up, but after finding the perfect unit, where the numbers make sense, finding good tenants, most months no extra work will be required, but simply collecting cash flow. You could start with a duplex, live in one unit, and rent the other unit, and have your tenant help you pay your mortgage. In a good economy after a few years you can start this process all over, and invest in a new duplex, for example, or something that makes sense for your specific location, and situation.

The laws vary from state to state, and even town to town, but usually a 20% down payment and a good credit score around the 700 will help getting a great financing.


3 - REIT Stocks
      Another option is to buy a REIT stocks, “Real Estate Investment Trust”. These are groups of properties owned by one developer.

REIT offer high dividends because they are required to give shareholders most of their profits.

There are REIT’s for every type of real estate. Retail is not too hot now because so much shopping is happening online, but warehouse REIT’s for online companies are currently in high demand.

In fact, that, is the only way we could even be able to have some sort of social security in the future since the nation’s debt keep rising and people keep living longer.                 As long as we plan ahead, our future will be great!

The 15 Strategies of Debt Free People

Image
By Miguel Dos Anjos                 You cannot save, or invest heavily while stuck in debt. The reason for this is that sitting on large amounts of cash make no sense if credit cards, and loans end up snow balling with interests making your debt bigger, and bigger. Even investing, in an investment account, or a retirement account most often is not worth, because the return collected is still smaller than the interest collected from you by bank loans, or credit cards. Here we’ll go over 15 characteristics that debt free people follow: 1. They become aware: They calculate, and know where their debt is coming from, how much it is, and set up a game plan to tackle it. 2. They come out of the “Debt Culture”:  Now a days people believe that debt is unavoidable to have a normal life, since education, car payments, and the cost of living are so high. But, in reality there are multiple options out there: - People who are smart in High School, or play sports take advantage of

Why the Rich Invest Their Money?

By Miguel Dos Anjos They Grow Their Money                 The only way to meaningfully grow money is by investing. And that is exactly what the rich, and the super-rich do. They don’t just invest, but invest wisely on what they know, and understand. By investing on things they are knowledgeable about allows them bigger chances for higher returns, and removes the gambling feeling out of the equation. Nobody can fully predict the future, but by staying informed if an event happens that changes their investment growth, they still know how to behave. Let’s say in the case of stocks, if a lawsuit, or momentarily scandal happens, that stock may drop heavily, and most people will sale lots, or all, and fast. As this happens the rich, and prepared know, or intelligently decide if it is time to sell, or time to buy more, because they can see that the event will pass, and the stock price will reach once again its original value.

How I Invested $2k During the Pandemic!!

By Miguel Dos Anjos I invested $2k!! This is during a pandemic if you’re not losing money and keeping what you have; it’s already a good day!! Getting almost 10% profit in a little over a month is a divine blessing!! How I invested I invested this whole $2k in stocks!! 80% in four companies!! And the remaining 20% I split into smaller positions into 5 other different companies!! All these companies are pandemic proof!! So they do well with pandemic or not!! Actually some of them profit from the conditions we are living in today!!   M1Finance Platform  I used an investing platform called M1Finance !! It supports fractional shares!! It was extremely useful!! It allows flexibility because some of these companies, even to get a single share is so expensive!! I don’t work for M1Finance and sadly they don’t pay me to say this!! I just like and use their platform!! If you’d like to open this same account I use; feel free to use my link !! You can use somebody else’s link or go dir

Why the Rich have Multiple Income Sources

-
Image
By Miguel Dos Anjos Most People have One Source of Income                 Most people have one source of income, and that is their 9 – 5 job. And so; most people are broke, and poor. While not most top, rich people, but ALL people on the top have at least 7 income sources. A job is great, important, and there is nothing wrong with it. It will provide food, and shelter, but in order to catapult forward financially a job has to be used as a gate way, or a bridge into becoming and, being rich.  Scalability    A barber for example may rent a chair in a hair salon; pay $40 a day for that chair, cut 5 to 8 hairs in the day, and get paid around $150 a day, which after paying the $40 chair rental, $110 is profit. This is ok for the barber, he, or she has no worries, regarding the building, or dealing with lots of money, but that is it. He worked all day, the only way for him to make more money is getting richer customers, and maybe double charge them, and then he may make $2

Online Course or Guide

By Miguel Dos Anjos                   Making money with online course is a field that’s growing more, and more every year. First you will need to come up with a course idea, then develop the course content, and finally promote, and sell your course.             Profitability                  The most profitable online courses make up to $75k a year, and even $1M a year. But making $500, or $1k a month is a meaningful income for most people. You will need to develop the course once, but you will get paid by every new student that buys your course.                 If you are a great teacher of a foreign language, or know gardening, or have stock market knowledge, or anything you are an expert at; you can teach that, and develop your course. In case you are not an expert in anything, or at least anything that there will be an audience willing to buy, another option is to learn as you go using research, and studying to develop your course. Pick a course topic that interest
