#1 - How to Evaluate a Property in 60 Seconds or
Less
If you want a super quick way to evaluate properties, all you need are two numbers: the price of the
property and the rental income you will get each month. If the monthly income is 1% of the purchase price
then you are pretty much guaranteed a property that will cashflow. It's a little real estate investing tip that
will save you time!
#2 - No Property Manager? Five Steps to Rent Out Your
Property
Money is tight, and you've got to rent out your vacant basement unit. You live above the unit and you
need the rent money to make the mortgage payment. What do you do? Rent it out to the only person who is willing
to move in right away. And you allow yourself to justify why that person won't let you speak to their current
landlord or why the collection agency is after them.
#3 - Buying Rental Property From Motivated
Sellers
Some of the most motivated sellers are motivated because they wanted to ditch their piece of garbage
property! In the same vain that we always say "No money down doesn't mean it won't cost you" we also say that a
"motivated seller may be motivated for the wrong reason"!!
#4 - Scared of Real Estate Investing
Fear is probably the biggest obstacle to getting started. We've heard that from so many
friends, family members, readers and colleagues. Fear in real estate investing is normal but the easiest
way to conquer fear is to educate yourself, make a plan and then take
action!
#5 - Real Estate Investing with No Money
If you are slipping further and further into debt each month and you think real estate
investing is going to save you, it won't. Here's how you CAN start real estate investing with no money
though.
#6 - Real Estate Investing is Not Easy
Real estate investing is simple but it's not easy. As we were running the streets of St.
John's on a recent 'vacation' working harder than we've ever worked before we were reminded once again
how true this is. Too many real estate programs spend a lot of effort to convince you otherwise, but if
they do, they are probably telling lies.
#7 - All About Rent to Own Deals
Are rent to own real estate deals a cash cow? What are some of the reasons a rent to own (or
lease option) investment might make sense for your investment property? What are some of the reasons you
might not want to do a rent to own deal? In this article Dave Peniuk explores some of the good and not as
good things about rent to own real estate investing.
#8 - Rental Property Location Research
Checklist
One of the most
important decisions you'll make as a real estate investor is where to buy your next rental property. Good
rental property location research BEFORE you buy the property will increase the likelihood of making A LOT
of money from the property!
#9 - Is Now a Good Time to Buy Real Estate
The biggest question we get asked by our friends and people we meet at networking events
is: "Do you think now is a good time to buy real estate?". It's actually a question that makes us feel a bit
awkward. Do people expect that we have a crystal ball?
#10 - The Real Estate Investing Course You Should Not
Take
The real estate investing course you shouldn't take...and other real estate investing
advice from two Canadian real estate investors.
