It’s time to think big. If you are considering purchasing real estate investments to rent out for a profit, there is a considerable leap in the learning curve from buying a rental property to managing renters with success.
As a Maryland property management company, Renters Warehouse BW Metro is all about giving you the tools and strategies investors need to make the right decisions. That starts with exploring the various real estate investment strategies available to you that are most likely to drive continued success.
When you work with our Rent Estate™ Advisors, you gain insight into finding ideal rental homes, buying with confidence, renting to the best possible tenants, and building profitability over the long term.
There’s a sign taped to the stop sign by your local Starbucks: they are encouraging you to start a business or to buy single-family homes and flip them. It sounds like a plan that makes sense; after all, how hard can it be to flip homes? The problem is, it can be very hard—and these are not the strategies that often pay off for anyone but the person posting the sign that collects money for securing you as a lead.
The better decision is to find real estate investment strategies with a proven record of helping people with little to no knowledge of the industry to do well. Even then, it is going to take some hard work to pull it off.
Your Maryland property management company can help you every step of the way by providing key insight that steers you away from money pits and real estate scammers in the Baltimore area.
The right Real Estate Investor Group (REIG) might be able to help.
A Real Estate Investment Group could be a good place to start if you’re interested in the Baltimore rental market but not fully ready to jump in to buy your first investment property alone.
Being a part of a trustworthy REIG offers numerous benefits to beginning investors:
While this sounds good, you should also take a look at the disadvantages of 'buying into' real estate investment clubs as well, including the limitations on how much you’ll take home with you.
It's also important to find investors who share the same views as you do. Just as you would thoroughly vet any other potential real estate partner, be sure to give your investing group the same scrutiny.
Turnkey properties typically do not require a lot of work, repairs, or upgrades (did you know it is possible to upgrade your property too much?). However, it is important to do your due diligence here.
You'll need to conduct the research necessary to confirm you are getting a no-problem property. In cases where it is a turnkey rental property, you'll enjoy no upfront costs for upgrading or modernizing the property for renters. At the same time, you still have to do a lot of the management legwork yourself unless you invest in professional Maryland property management services.
Perhaps you’re just not sure which type of real estate investment strategy is the right one for you. Here’s the key: there are a lot more of them to choose from than it seems. You could choose to:
Which of the above strategies is right for you as a future property owner and investor? It all depends on your capability, your capital, and your financial goals. Working with a full-service property management company can help you define said goals.
