Income Properties Delivering Steady Income Stream
By James R Blunt
Income properties can be found online, in newspapers and at property
auctions. Real estate agents are beginning to get busy again,
as a number of first-time home buyers and consumers are coming
forward for pre-foreclosure and bank foreclosure opportunities
that are selling at 30-40% of their previous prices.
If you’re smart, you can get the right property at the right
time and stand to benefit quite handsomely from it. This is no
time to be impetuous, though: a real estate investment still involves
a lot of money, a lot of work and a lot of commitment. Before
you get your checkbook ready, consider which type of investment
you’d like to make.
Away From The Noise Of The Big Smoke
Ranches for sale are popular income properties because many American
vacationers want to "just get away from it all." Some
individuals want a truly relaxing, "all-American" vacation
not too far from home but well beyond work stresses and responsibilities.
A rural western experience is similar to cottage country in that
there are no neighbors, no slicked up tanned college students
partying and no noisy, congested traffic. When you’re looking
at ranch buildings for sale, try to find a place that has luxurious
fixings inside the building but still offers some of that good
old country tradition.
Scenic Nature And Hiking Trails
You can have cattle, sheep, horses or border collies on the property.
You can have a spa, golf course, tennis court or fitness center
nearby or on the property as well. Scenic nature and good hiking
trails should also be a consideration in selecting the right location.
Some of the best places for your western real estate investment
property include Buffalo, Wyoming, Clark, Colorado and Bigfork,
Montana.
"You’re basically taking advantage of someone else’s misfortune.
That’s the unfortunate situation, but it presents an opportunity
for many people as well," Andrew Couture of www.neighborhoodscout.com
says of bank foreclosure properties.
Looking For Quality Properties And A Good Price
Most foreclosures sell for 5% below market value, but sometimes
buyers can find deals for as much as 30-40% off. One shouldn’t
be seduced solely by price, though. Couture adds, "If you
can do it in an area where schools are good, employment is good,
crime is low, there’s access to amenities and opportunities and
there’s lots to do, then that’s going to be a more desirable place."
Some of the best places to purchase foreclosure income properties,
according to Yahoo Real Estate, are Binghamton, NY; Augusta/Richmond,
VA; Syracuse, NY; Yakima, WA; Hickory/Lenoir/Morgantown, NC; Kingsport/Bristol,
TN-VA; Columbia, SC; Charlotte/Gastonia, NC; Provo/Orem, UT; and
Beaumont/Port Arthur, TX.
Setting Up For A Steady Income Stream
For the first-time investor, the best income properties are usually
simple, single-family residences that are rented out to tenants.
Unlike the flipping houses scheme, this type of investment is
intended to deliver a steady stream of income, rather than a quick
lump sum.
In the long run, you can make more money, although there will
also be more expenses as far as repairs and grounds maintenance
are concerned. Look for places with appreciation that are near
bus stops, grocery stores, entertainment, jobs, schools and other
amenities.
Before making a purchase, view the property first, rather than
investing in far-off overseas property that could be more of a
gamble.
