Statistics show that 90% of millionaires are made through real estate. That's right, we are in the business of making millionaires, by helping everyday people buy the one asset that has the ability to easily turn them into millionaires. The reason that real estate is such a popular money making tool for entrepreneurs is because it's one of only a handful of ways people can make income that is not dependent on the number of hours the entrepreneur has to work in a day. For example, if an entrepreneur buys a business, he will very likely have to spend time managing and running the operations. However, if that entrepreneur invests in income-generating real estate like multi-family homes, commercial buildings, or apartment buildings, he can earn income, through rent, even while he's sitting on a beach in Florida. Here are the five ways in which it's possible to make millions in real estate.
Today, our Gratitude Blog is dedicated to the amazing industry we are privileged to be a part of; real estate. Here are five of the ways millionaires are made in real estate:
Property Appreciation: When prices go up, so does ones equity in real estate. Therefore, even if you own just one property, it's possible to see it double or quadruple in value over time.
Flipping: Many investors make their money through flipping. The idea here is that they buy properties that are in a distressed condition. The property may need paint, siding, landscaping, a new roof, a new kitchen, or any number of upgrades. The investor buys the property at a discount, makes all the repairs, and then sells the home for a profit.
Rentals: Another popular way to make money in real estate is by buying properties to rent out. For example, an investor might buy a four family residential home where he rents out the four units to tenants, thereby creating regular cash flow to help subsidize the mortgage, taxes, and other expenses.
Development/Building: For those who like to build, development is the way to go. Many entrepreneurs make their living by finding raw land and building homes one at a time or as large scale subdivisions.
Broker/Agent: Last but not least, for those who really love real estate, becoming an agent is the way to go. Here it is possible to earn a healthy living through the commissioned sale of the one business that is tied to 90% of millionaires; real estate.
