How to FIND and BUY: Cheap Bargain Real Estate, Good Deals, Below Market, Low Priced and Less Expensive; homes, lots, land, businesses, and condominiums. They are all over and easy to find. Here is how to find and buy them from anyone, anywhere.

This critique lays out the steps: How to find and buy a Bargain, A Good Deal, in real estate; that is; how to get it real cheap! Yes, there are ways!

Nearly every call or e-mail that I get is asking me to find the buyer a bargain. We all feel that way when we are import as well. All of us want a good deal. We all want to get cheap real estate. And we can all do it.

There is a bit of a challenge however. Every definite buyer that I've ever had in my thirty two years of promotion real estate has required to sell the assets they have for more than it is worth. Here lays our challenge as Realtors -- and of choice for you as purchasers.

To get those HOT deals in real estate there are at least three belongings you must do:

1. First of all as a buyer you must be able and enthusiastic to act more rapidly than any other buyer.

2. Back you must be able to know a bargain when you see one. This takes be subjected to and edification in the certain bazaar . Any assumptions made from other markets, about the subject-inteded market, will condemnation you to a selection of failure. . .

3. Third you must BUY it. That is write a deposit check and write a agree to that will win over the other contracts that may be free at about the same time as yours.

This group of three steps, sounds simple, but only about one buyer in each ten year cycle is disposed to do these three belongings in order to get the cheap assets they have asked us to find for them! I have a number of people, and so do most Realtors, that are the most; ready, disposed and able and we call them first! If you want to be one of the ones called you must be MORE ready, disposed and able!

Recently, Eminent 2002 the riverside home next to ours was scheduled for sale for $249,000 and it was worth at the time about $350,000. Kate and I called each of our children members, our amazing neighbors on the other side (one of whom is a local engineer and the other a finance broker) and some of our best clients and a best ally of ours, a engineer and investor, who had previously said he liked the fine home. (Note that assets is now worth about $800,000 Sept. 2004).

We explained that the home was going on the promote in a few hours and that they must act fast. Our neighbors on the other side, the most erudite of the bunch sought to make an offer of $180,000 aphorism they belief that was all the chattels was worth. They knew beat or at least must have and they ought to have bought it. They just "hoped" they could get it for less and that they didn't have to move fast. The offer they made was overlooked and emaciated our time. They did conversely get an added chattels in a few days, for a lot more money, that was worth a lot less, as a answer of superior preparedness and awareness after loosing the one next to us.

Our savvy patron alone put in a duo of offers below the asking price with a number of contingencies. Meanwhile we are effective each to write a agreement for full price with no contingencies and business on both our phones as fast as we could call. None of our best contacts or breed would pay attention. They were ALL too greedy. They knew the acreage was far under-priced but required it for even less. . . Lesson: when it's a good deal - ACT as a substitute of receiving more greedy and down the deal totally.

Then our lovely new neighbors came and saw the property. They also were erudite about akin properties, and had lost more than a few properties they liked by emotive slow, journalism demanding contracts and not paying interest to real values.

This time they did it correctly. In fact they wrote a agreement on the spot, with no contingencies, and for MORE than full price so that if everybody did offer full price they would still have the best chance. They paid $5,000 more than the full price on the spot, told the sellers they could have clearance any time they sought after it and already they even heard back from the sellers they approved for a finance of MORE than they desirable and asked for the money to be at once available. They did not ask for a home inspection, a survey, or for the sellers to fix anything. The home is 30 years old and has not had one bit of maintenance. There was a burst hot water tank, a roof that needs replacing and a few HUGE cracks in the foundation. All these troubles cost them about $15,000.

They have, as I write this, owned the acreage for numerous months and worked on it every weekend, already they could take a break and enjoy it. They love it. If they were to fix all of the effects that need fixing, paint the trim and dust up the yard and landscaping; we could get $900,000 to $950,000 for this home for them in a few months on the market. And, city sewer will be here in a few years, at that point the acreage will immediately go up a new $200,000 and all the associates we called knew about the pending sewer too.

The buyers didn't find out about the sewer advent to town until after they had contracted to acquisition the property. The sewer is still not in -- WOW. They are glad they did the One, Two, Three to make it happen!

By doing the three clothes planned above the purchasers of the home next to us have made the wisest purchasing conclusion thus far in their lives and have one of the best bargains that have been obtainable in the last a number of years. The sellers are happy too as they just hunted to sell it as fast as they perhaps could, due to a impulsive and dodgy illness of one of the owners.

I'm characters this critique to serve you the reader. But you must know it is self allocation as well. Much of our time as Real Estate Agents is spent difficult to effectively educate our buyers and sellers. If they would take our guidance they could be far, far, more lucrative in promotion or buying. The articles I write here http://www. kate-jody. com/essays/index. html are those advices that I give my customers and clients - if they ask. Most don't and when they do, very few take the advice. Just like in every other profession, we the professionals do what we can to help those who come to us but it's up to them to take the advice.

Bargain homes are at all times accessible - but hard to sell. They are homes that are in need of some fix or aesthetic advance or that are in an area of transition. We have more than a few on the advertise right now and they are hard to sell. A big name with apparition will in due course acquire them, fix them up and maybe sell them at a huge profit - often to a big cheese who says they want a bargain but won't do what it takes to get a bargain. Funny isn't it, and this sort of thing happens all the time. It has consistently happened in my 35 years in the real estate affair and being a certified Realtor since 1972. Just know this, if you want a fixer-upper, so does all and sundry else, but you need to be very, very, educated and able to spend the time and money to do up the belongings actually and affordably. And, you need to do One, Two, Three!

If you want a bargain; educate by hand and be ready to DO -- One, Two, and Three. We'll try to help you.
