Common Mistakes to Avoid in Real Estate Investing:
Do Not:
- Trust a friend or real estate agent for a "hot tip" without thouroughly checking out the deal!
- Buy vacant land unless you have a solid, short-term plan to make it worth more (e.g. sub-divide or develop).
- Pay market value in a down or flat market.
- Buy anything until you know where your market is going (Up, Down, Flat, Bubble)
- Buy a fixer-upper without the proper skills or contacts to renovate.
- Buy a long-term hold with a short-term ARM (Adjustable Rate Mortgage)
- Buy a home for yourself that has a mortgage payment more than 40% of your monthly income.
- Buy an investment you can't afford to make payments on for at least 6 months.
- Go into a partnership without a CLEAR & WRITTEN contract spelling out all responsibilities and expectations.
- Enlist the help of a contractor or sub-contractor without clear, detailed contracts that protect YOU!
- Put your tongue on a frozen flagpole.
Yep, that about covers it for now . . .
