If you're like many of my clients or people who visit our Web site
(www.capefearhometeam.com), you're at least somewhat interested in
investing in real estate. You probably know people who have made
significant profits or who get steady income every month from their
real estate investments. Chances are you're attracted to the idea
yourself, but you're not sure where or how to start, and you're
holding back for one or more pretty common questions, like:
- HOW DO I KNOW WHAT TO BUY?
- WHAT IF I MAKE THE WRONG PURCHASE?
- ISN\'T A BAD MARKET THE WRONG TIME TO BUY REAL ESTATE?
- WHAT ABOUT ALL THOSE "GET-RICH-QUICK" DEALS? DO THOSE REALLY WORK
OR ARE THEY A RIP-OFF?
WE HAD THOSE SAME QUESTIONS
When Marge and I started seriously investing in real estate we
wondered if we were doing the right thing. We had purchased and sold
several personal residences in our 30 plus years of marriage and we
always made money when we resold our homes. However, we had only
previously purchased one piece of investment property, a small house
on Martha's Vineyard that we bought for $178,900 and sold six years
later for $496,000 for a REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT PROFIT OF ABOUT $300K!
That could not have come at a better time with three college-bound
kids! Based on that experience, we knew there was great potential
profit in real estate investing, but we really didn't know what we
were doing. We figured the Martha's Vineyard deal might have been a
lucky fluke. So we had questions and didn't really know what we were
doing. We certainly had no plan.
In 2003 when we decided it was time to phase out of our existing
careers as high tech journalists (Marge and I were both Contributing
Editors for PC Magazine), we made two big decisions. We decided to
move from New England to southeastern North Carolina and I decided to
start a full-time career in residential real estate while Marge
pursued other business interests. I obtained my real estate sales
agent license in Connecticut. I also obtained a license in North
Carolina, first as a non-resident agent and then in early 2004, when
we moved, as a resident agent. Later in 2004, I was licensed as a real
estate broker in North Carolina, which was and is my full-time job -
I'm a broker with Coldwell Banker Sea Coast Realty
(www.seacoastrealty.com) in Wilmington, North Carolina, license
#216728.
In mid 2004, when we once again decided to invest in real estate
ourselves, we focused on new construction homes that could be rented
for all or almost all of their monthly carrying costs. And we had a
rough plan. Our plan was that this type of investment would build
wealth over the long term. To follow the plan we choose houses in
areas that would likely appreciate over the years more than the local
average - which in southeastern North Carolina in 2004 was already
pretty good appreciation. And guess what? It worked.
As our knowledge about and confidence in real estate investments
grew, and as we purchased additional properties and worked with a
growing number of investor clients from around the country, we
realized a need for a system for setting goals and converting a real
estate investment plan to action. Working with clients and friends,
not all of whom invested, we realized that to be useful to a wide
range of potential investors, especially for beginners, the system had
to be:
SIMPLE (which in this case means easy to explain and easy to
understand);
STEP-BY-STEP and
STRAIGHT FORWARD WITH NO MYSTERY.
A good system would also help investors:
MINIMIZE RISK and
AVOID COMMON MISTAKES OF NEWBIES.
Focusing more on the positive side, a good system would also help
investors:
MAXIMIZE GAIN - WE HELP YOU MAKE MORE MONEY;
PLAN A LONG-TERM PORTFOLIO THAT SUPPORTED THEIR PERSONAL INVESTING
AND WEALTH GOALS - WE HELP YOU DEFINE YOUR GOALS AND PLAN YOUR
PORTFOLIO.
GET SUPPORT EVERY STEP OF THE WAY - WE HELP YOU BUILD A TEAM OF
SUPPORTIVE SERVICES AND ADVISORS.
WORK FROM EXAMPLES BASED ON PROPERTY ACTUALLY AVAILABLE AT THE TIME
- OUR MONTHLY NEWSLETTER INCLUDES ANALYSIS OF PROPERTIES FOR SALE AT
THE TIME OF PUBLICATION.
IMPLEMENT A PRACTICAL PLAN - WITH NO GET-RICH-QUICK HYPE.
OK, SO WHAT ARE WE TALKING ABOUT? WHAT ARE WE SELLING HERE?
_Ready, Set, Invest!_ IS AN E-BOOK, A DIGITAL PUBLICATION WITH 116
PAGES IN FOUR EASY TO FOLLOW SECTIONS:
1. GET READY

_Ready, Set, Invest!_ can be used by itself if someone just wants
to learn about real estate investing. However, we realize that many
people looking for this type of information need more than just a book
that explains how to get ready, plan, implement, and manage a real
estate investment plan. That's why we bundle READY, SET, INVEST! with
5 BONUSES:
* _Ready, Set, Invest!_ WORKBOOK
* _Ready, Set, Invest!_ REAL ESTATE INVESTOR QUIZ
* _Ready, Set, Invest!_ LOAN FACTOR REFERENCE BOOK
* COMPLIMENTARY CAPE FEAR REAL ESTATE E-NEWSLETTER SUBSCRIPTION
* FREE UPDATES TO NEW EDITIONS OF THE BOOK (AND TO THE BONUS
MATERIAL, TOO!)
We wrote this book for beginning real estate investors - either
those who have just invested or who are considering real estate as an
investment. It is clearly not a book for experts, or for accountants,
or for tax wizards. Rather, we attempt to take some of the mystique
and mystery out of real estate investing, to provide a frame work for
people to use in considering the type(s) of investment property they'd
buy, and also to give background on many of the factors and details
that investors need to consider.
No matter where you live in the world, the Ready, Set, Invest!
process can help you get started with your real estate investment
plan.
Here are some enthusiastic testimonials.
"I LOVE IT!! What a great book. For those who are thinking of
investing in real estate (and we know there are millions out there),
this would be a very good book for them to read. I would also say,
many REALTORS would greatly benefit as they need to know how to "sell
investment properties, not just real estate". I love the ABC chart.
That seems very well put together and everyone could easily understand
how they should proceed and what risk level they would encounter." -
TIM MILAM, PRESIDENT, _
"The process and ramifications of real estate investment can be
complicated, and the topic was presented very clearly and in the
simplest terms possible. This book is an essential guide for anyone
interested in successful real estate investment." - ANNE LEVINE,
INEXPERIENCED REAL ESTATE INVESTOR, RETIRED OFFICE MANAGER FOR AN
ELITE ARCHITECTURAL FIRM, ANTIQUE DEALER
