Many real estate investors find ripe opportunities at IRS real estate auctions.  There are, however, a few facts to consider before buying these properties.

One of those facts is that the property is sold as is.  This is not like closing on an ordinary real estate deal, where there is often negotiation on fix ups or repairs to the property.  Homes auctioned off by the Internal Revenue Service are strictly “what you see is what you get.”  If you win the auction, the Internal Revenue Service provides you a “quit claim” deed and off you go.

The second most important fact to consider when buying property at an Internal Revenue Service auction is that you have to pay in cash.  Only certified checks are accepted.  You cannot pay with a credit card, personal check, or through financing.

Also, once you think you own the property, you probably do not.  The original owner has the right to purchase the property back from you for 180 days after you win it at auction.  They have to pay you interest compounded at 20% annually in addition to the amount you paid for the property, so you will make money, but you won’t be happy if you wanted to keep the property.  Most often, this right to redeem is invoked by the original owner.

Shopping to purchase a property at an IRS auction is truly a buyer beware predicament.  You might find a great deal and a house you really like, only to lose it to the original owner.  On top of this, while the function of an Internal Revenue Service real estate auction is a federal one, real estate law is governed by each individual state.  State law may have additional qualifications, fees, or restrictions with which you will need to familiarize yourself before purchasing real estate at an Internal Revenue Service auction.

If you are thinking of making any serious investment in property sold at an IRS auction, you will probably want to hire an attorney to represent your interests.    

Make no mistake, there are good deals and real opportunities available at Internal Revenue Service real estate auctions, but they are not recommended for the amateur or faint of heart.

When you are determined, to enter into survival game of saving yourself from bankruptcy and even unemployment, then you have to consider the positive elements of Real Estate Investment business. Most of negative thoughts arise due to ignorance of the facts, and how much smooth is this world of property investment. It is really made more simple and within reach due to the presence of Private Money Lenders. These guys have changed the overall psyche of this business, and it is open for everyone, to practice and get his own share of fortune. Things were not as simple before the arrival of these private money lenders. But you can easily plan for your own long term stay in this business domain.

Now, you may be facing a common question as how you would be able to cater the needs of the industry, as if you are totally a stranger in this field. I am telling you that Real Estate Investment is not that simple and it makes you to investigate different meanings for getting full on-hand training. There are some of good private money lenders engaged in coaching and consulting of their potential clients. Then you can get some formal training from different colleges or universities, but I would recommend you to get attached with a professional investor. It is a very useful technique as it would make it possible for you to get a practical knowledge of what are really required or what is only a theoretical term in real estate investment business.

Things are really going to benefit you on long term basis, only if you are determined to enhance your capacity. You can ask that veteran investor, to take you as a trainee and without any stipend. I am sure it would cause a positive effect otherwise most of investors would simply refuse your request. Further enhancement in both of your relations comes, when you are going to tell him that your Real Estate Investment career would also benefit him too. Yes! You are going to ask him to be equal partner in all property deals that come to you during your training. He has to do nothing as you would search and make deals with brokers, find loans and then resell the property. But his fifty percent is right there waiting for him!

Take advantage of downturn: As and when the property rates are low, one can start investing selectively ignoring the media reports.  In fact, become contrarian and pick up good and cheap property deals in prime locations as these are the ones which will start giving good and fast returns once the market picks up.

Do research: To profit from real estate investments, one needs to do some research regarding location of the property and current rent of commercial and residential properties in that particular location.  If you are new to real estate investment, then you need to know the risk factors of investing in real estateand also, the fluctuation short and long term investment entails.  You must know how long to hold a property and when to sell so as to maximize your profit. Also, find out where you can find best deals against stiff competition.

Understand the business cycle of real estate. Real estate investmentcan be famine or feast depending on when you get in and out of it.  One must remember that there is correction from time to time and it is prudent to take advantage of these cycles by buying when there is correction downwards and selling when there is rise. 

Check interest cost and tax.  If you are financing your real estate investment by availing loan, then cost of interest has to be factored in so as to arrive at net profit you are likely to earn.  Also, you need to keep tab on tax liability.  So, you need to seek loan from financial institutions which provide loan with low interest rates. Also, understand the legal provisions, tax provisions as well as other such aspects concerning real estate investments.

Real estate refers to property that is attached to land. Generally, this term is used for things rather than for people. The term is used for land and the structure on that particular land.

In the States, real estate has become a flourishing business. Economists actually believe that the lowering of revenue in the States is related to this real estate business which generates lower revenue. When Americans once again start looking at land as a business investment, the revenue will automatically rise.

There can be residential, commercial and industrial real estate.

Residential real estate arises when a family wants to shift home. They may want to buy a house or a flat. Someone will need to sell it to them. People find it hard to do all this on their own, being new to the place they are moving into. For this, they need the help of a professional to guide them. This person will have to show them a map of the area so that they get a good idea about the place they are shifting into. They will have to decide, with his help, whether they want real estate on rent or they want to buy it. This person who helps them is the agent. He will help them to save time and money by even giving them a tour of the place, the houses and the flats. He will help them to get a good bargain as well.

Canada and The United States of America have a multiple listing system [MLS]. This helps people to find property fast. It also gives them information about who is selling the property and the rates.

Most of the time, when someone wants to buy a house, they call a real estate broker to help them out. They then tell the broker what kind of real estate they are looking for and where exactly they would want it. They also tell him how much they would be willing to pay. The broker will then look through the MLS to find something that he thinks his client will be happy with. Right now, there are about 800 MLS in the US.

The other content of a real estate website that is designed well will include information and lots of it. This information may need to include community and area information, information about mortgages, insurance, finances, home inspections, home loans and other subjects. It will also need to feature a page dedicated entirely to the credentials, education and history of the real estate company, broker or realtor, whichever the case may be. Photos are important and need to be included on that page also.

School information relating to the local area is a great addition for content. Visitors looking to sell or buy a home are interested in learning more about the area. The information on taxes, utilities, and recreation and entertainment areas nearby will be appreciated by visitors also.

One more important addition of content needed for a real estate website is the realtor, broker or real estate company’s contact information. This should be placed where it can be found almost instantly and included on every page. Placement for that contact information should be at the top of each page, on the side and also at the bottom of every page on the website. Remember that getting contacts is the purpose for the website. This cannot be underestimated.

List the credentials of the associated realtors, their success and groups and clubs they belong to. Addition of a page dedicated to their information is a must. Adding their photo is a plus! Detail the information about any awards that they may have been awarded. Keep it business but do not create it where there is no personalization.

Including forms where mortgage payments can be calculated and other calculations can be made concerning the selling or buying of homes and properties is real helpful also. The real estate company, broker, realtor or agent that you are designing for can offer you much of this content, but if you have access to information on your own, you can offer it to them for use on the website and they will appreciate it because they are very busy professionals.

The layout and navigation ability of a website is also very important. Keep the links out there where they can be found without searching for them.  Do not use lots of moving flash items, or large photos that will slow your site down. Remember to resize down to smaller if needed. Visitors are usually in a hurry when visiting online and you need to have all of the information out there where they can go straight to it without too much confusion.

Using simple fonts with plain black ink is always best for the print. After your website has been approved and is online, do your customers a favor and promote it to the search engines for them. They will tell others and you will gain more business as a real estate web designer. Let your customers know that you can be reached promptly and answer as soon as possible to their emails so that they know you take their website seriously. Remember to make your customers happy and they will spread the word for your business.

Real estate blogs have also become a trend in recent years, however, not as fast or abundant as one may expect.

Nonetheless, blogs can be a very valuable source of up-to-date information on real estate, especially in a time when real estate value is very volatile and current information is what may make the difference between a successful transaction and a losing deal.

Real estate blogs have the advantage of presenting the top stories and the latest news in a single place eliminating the need to surf the net and search for multiple sources.

An example is The Toronto Real Estate Blog www.TheTorontoRealEstateBlog.com which provides its readers with a variety of information ranging from changes in interest rates to statistics on building permits and from the latest changes in prices to predictions of the direction of the market.

Another advantage of using blogs is they have RSS feeds from other sources, such as newspaper articles published online, which are updated daily with the latest news. These feeds give the readers the ability to receive a variety of opinions based on which to construct a personal opinion.

In some cases, valuable tools are offered to the users, directing them to further sources to collect valuable information required to make an informed decision, such as crime rates, air quality by neighborhood and school ratings.

Here are a few ideas on how to use blogs to stay informed on real estate issues and trends:

- Search for relevant blogs. Google the name of your city along with the words “real estate blog”.

- A valuable blog has frequent updates.

- A nice, clean look will make it easier to read the articles relevant to you

- Ensure that it has RSS feeds to multiple sources

- It should have an impartial tone and not try to sell the services of a realtor

 Bookmark a couple of the best blogs according to the guidelines above and visit them daily.  It will pay off in time saved from going to a single source and in money gained by making informed decisions.

The idea is to bolster real estate sales by allowing taxpayers to waive this tax on your property sale if the main purpose of the sale is to purchase another property.  This provision gives an incentive for both the buying and selling of property.

Capital gains taxes assessed in the sale of real estate are estimated at around 20%-30%.  If a taxpayer is engaged in a “like kind” real estate purchase, the tax reduces his ability to purchase a similar property by effectively cutting the resale value of their property by 20%-30%.  This, in turn, will reduce the amount of money that they are likely to spend on a “like kind” purchase of another property.

There, of course, are conditions to deferment of capital gains tax under Exchange 1031.

The value of the property you are purchasing with the proceeds from the sale of your property must be equal to or more than the net profits from the selling of your property.

The full equity realized from the sale of your property must be used to purchase the “replacement” property.

If the replacement property you purchase under an Exchange 1031 provision turns out to be of lesser value than the property you sold, you will be liable to pay an accrued tax.  The amount of your tax liability will be determined by the amount the replacement property fell short of the full equity of the sold property.

In other words, the amount of tax liability you incur will depend upon your given situation and the amount of full equity you realized after the sale of your property.  Therefore, part of the tax is deferred in this instance, rather than deferring all of the capital gains tax.

The hope of this provision is that such a substantial tax savings will encourage real estate sellers to purchase “replacement” property rather than invest the income from such a sale of real estate into some other venture.  It is a good provision for people looking to “buy up” in the housing market.

Every change in economic conditions affecting real estate creates a new opportunity for financial gain. If you currently own your home, this may be a great time to purchase a residential rental property. For those who are in a position to make the 20% down payment required by lenders for investment property, all of the other elements are in play for a successful purchase. Interest rates are low, property values are down and all of those homeowners who couldn’t survive the housing downturn have created a very strong rental market. There are bargains to be had. Foreclosures, short sales and otherwise desperate homeowners have produced an exceptionally fluid buying environment.

In years gone by, the axiom was “if you can rent it for within a few hundred dollars of the mortgage payment, appreciation will take care of the rest”. Well, that may or may not be true today, at least for the immediate future. If the purchased property can be rented for close to the monthly payment, short term appreciation is not the primary concern. After all, one should buy rental   property for long term gain. With today’s low interest rates and a substantial down payment, a rental property purchased at the right price and the right location, should produce a positive cash flow. Rental rates have remained stable and even increased during the downturn and that stability is likely to continue for the foreseeable future.

Although this slump is by far the worst one since the great depression, we have experienced downturns in the real estate market before. In fact, on average, we have had declines in property values every seven years. Assuming we can return to a sustained growing economy, history will almost certainly repeat itself and substantial appreciation will occur. There are many factors that determine property value. Inflation, location, and supply vs. demand are the primary factors. It is very improbable that we will ever see zero inflation. If inflation dictates that a home builder has to pay more for materials, he must sell the home for a higher price or stop building. The older population keeps increasing, but land, in highly desirable areas, is in short supply. When the demand is greater than supply, appreciation occurs. This is an over-simplification and does not factor other economic considerations, but over time it is probable that well-located real estate in growing communities will show substantial increase in value.

In conclusion, diversification in one’s investment portfolio and today’s real estate market provides a window of opportunity. Buyers should be careful and remember the old axiom, “The three criteria for buying real estate: location, location, location”.
