Real Estate Investing: Infomercial and Mentoring Scams

Saturday, December 12, 2009

Leafing through infomercials late at night recently, I saw two houses to get rich quickly, and I could not avoid thinking about - because there are still those old scams? Has anyone really talked a seller from home without money for financing by the owner lately?

Estate infomercials serious harm to investors at the beginning, hundreds of wasting money on old information. Worse, sometimes losing discourage beginners, and the real (and profitable) adventureReal Estate Investing.

One of the most popular late night infomercial shows tells beginners that you can make a fortune by buying houses with no money and then rent them to cover the monthly payments. It 'true that you can buy a house without a down payment, but the requirements are so have good credit, good income, and the house is inhabited by the owner.

Rents are generally not entitled to payment of the loan. Institutional donors should notMoney by lending to investment goods, and even if you could buy a house for investment with no down payment, monthly payments are usually consumed income.

Late Night scammers claim that investors receive ownership costs of closing, including the deposit can be. But if it is required to pay lender is down by the words "seller" is correct! Sellers today are smart enough and understand that the money invested in aProperty, the buyer can easily walk and leave with a house that was ruined by negligent tenants.

Another TV program offers a system of false for the purchase of houses at ridiculous prices, but please keep in mind: Has anyone bought a house, walked free from $ 345.00 in a sale tax? Hordes of investors turn to taxes on sales in the region where I live, increasing the exclusion of real estate prices of the penny on the dollar. Is simply not true.

Today, another leaderInvesting in real estate fraud, is popular in southern California. Here's how it works: you call Charles Teen charged $ 4000 on your credit card to hire a real estate mentor, after drinking wine and eating a mentor at a restaurant in Beverly Hills.

In exchange for the fee, the mentor instructed Charles of buildings in trouble with a lap in the area and the type are the addresses of ugly houses in the area of Nice. After Charles had the address, the mentorwas the address of the owner and, sometimes, a phone number. Carlos then I came to call and speak with the owners in their homes, without money selling, and fixing the paper (guide), too!

I met Charles when he called me about buying a property that my husband and I were on the market for $ 1.2 million. When I asked how a young man of payments of 1.2 million U.S. dollars at home, told me that he intended to rent the house enough for thePayments.

As a real estate investor myself, I tried not to laugh at his naivete, and try to have a conversation with Charles and listened to his frustrations, difficult to follow the advice of his mentor, I offered to find a good and am glad to say Charles, who now owns his own house. But we still take years to pay the credit card account up to $ 4000.

If you want to make money as a real estate investor, a good first step is to buy a house, as did Charles.You can do this for money, if you credit or a good amount of money relatively small, if the claim is wrong. Once you have your home, repair, and then sell or refinance and use your advantages as an interim purchased as investment property.

Do not pay hundreds of dollars for May, methods, has in the past century, the works! It is a waste of time and money. Investment property is really a great way to make a markProperty, must remain in his real strategy is demonstrated by those who today in the housing market.
