Minnesota Real Estate Investors: Tomorrow is Today!

Alex Anderson, with the MN Real Estate Team, wrote a great post that I experience all the time with newer investors. I wrote about this same topic to wannabe real estate investors back in April 2008. Many will consistently “let life get in the way” of actually investing in real estate. They say ” when I have more money” or “when my kids are older” or “when I finish those house projects”, I will buy some rental property.

It is amazing how many will never do anything. Make 2009 your year to do the research and either jump in or quit talking about buying investment property! First step, attend our next Investment Property 101 seminar.

	The Offer Conspiracy Theory(2) I just had it happen again today. Property has been on the market for 75 days. I checked with the listing agent last night, no offers. We wrote up an offer and I sent it in around noon today. He writes me back at 2pm and says he now has 2 more offers. What!?!#@% This has [...]

	Short Sale Terminology(0) I got a great question from a long time reader, John Gall, today. He asked: When I look at the [other company's] site which I’m sure pulls from MLS I’m seeing the following status on the listings. It would be interesting to have an explanation of why one is chosen vs another. Some are obvious but [...]

	Pre-Approved Short Sales(1) So, you read this siren call on the MLS listing that say “Pre-Approved short sale, quick closing possible”. You get all excited; maybe this short sale will be different. You get an accepted offer and 4 months later you are still waiting for that “quick closing”. It happens to me all the time. I have [...]
