Eleven Easy Steps to Building Wealth through Property Appreciation


Here's an easy way for you to earn big money from the natural appreciation that occurs with most real estate. Once you learn how to use these steps we'll take you through actual ways you can use them in real-life situations.

Here are your 11 steps:

1. Obtain the increase in price (appreciation) data for an area you want to invest in. You can get this free from local real estate brokers, from newspapers serving the area, from your local Apartment Owners Association, and from the city and county tax records that often give the purchase and sale price of real estate.

2. Express the price increase in percentage and in dollars or whatever other monetary system you're using euros, pesos, francs, and so on. Your most important number is the percentage 5 percent, 10 percent, 15 percent, and so on. Why? Because with a known price for a property you can project your potential profit.

3. List the types of properties having the largest percentage and dollar appreciation. Thus, they might be single-family units, 2 family, 10 family, and so on.

4. Choose the type of property having the highest percentage increase as the kind you'll invest in. Remember: You're in this for the profit you'll earn when you eventually sell the property. Keep your profit objective in mind at all times!

5. Look for such properties in your area. Use the Sunday papers, local real estate brokers, the Apartment Owners Association. (If there are no such properties locally, check out nearby cities and towns or distant ones. Use these methods on those properties.)

6. Get the price, the income, the expenses, and the down payment for the type of property you've chosen.

7. Project the potential appreciation for one year, two years, three years, and so on. See the following examples for the appreciation in several real-life properties.

8. Estimate the price you can sell the property at in one year, two years, three years, and so on. Decide if the potential profit is worth your time. That is, will you earn $100 per hour, $500 per hour, and so on, for the estimated time you'll spend looking for, negotiating for, buying, and reselling the property? Only you can decide if the effort is worth your time!

9. Negotiate to buy the selected property at the lowest down payment you can get. Remember: The lower your cost, the higher your potential profit!

10. Buy the property. Have cosmetic repairs made. Get the property fully rented with three months' security deposit for each unit. Put the property on the market at a price that gives you your targeted profit.

11. Sell the appreciated property at the price you set. Go on to your next profitable appreciation deal!

Now we'll show you a number of real-life deals in which these steps are used. This info could put big money into your pocket in a short time.
