3 Real Estate Investor Secrets to Profit and Fast Qualifying Loans
Fast Qualifying Rental Home Loans Are Profitable
Real estate investing has three primary vectors to increased profits, there are a few other niche avenues but for the most part, it boils down to these three points.
The three primary real estate profit venues:
1. Property value
2. Rental income
3. Property services income
You could employ blanket mortgages to lower costs, (check our blanket mortgage section), you could also try things like tax lien certificates or other unique banking alternatives but the three items above applies across the board for a vast majority of the investor's rental income. Learn to take advantage of the big three for your own portfolio.
Property Value of Rental Investments
Property values do not always increase on their own. Not everyone has the foresight to purchase rentals in the most optimal locations, and even then, no location is bullet proof to inflation and changes in socioeconomic factors. The challenge is to improve property value in a profit formula rather than just sinking money into general improvements.

2016 Real Estate Trends: Urban vs. Suburban Investment Properties
What current investment property loan, development, and media trends are impacting urban and suburban real estate? Where are the opportunities? How can investors take advantage of them?
2016 Real Estate Trends
There are a number of significant trends influencing the direction of the market, and where the profits are this year.
These include:

The past year saw a dramatic rise in home flipping trend. Although over heated, analysts feel that 2016 is going to set new records in home flipping industry with more households joining the bandwagon. As per a research by Trulia, 5% of all home sales in 2015 came from house flipping.
Geographically, flipping varies a lot as per the property market. For example, Las Vegas witnessed high growth in house flipping whereas Detroit was placed at the bottom of the pile. Also, Florida areas are making entry into the flipping arena with zealous interest. Such markets also display a high number of investment property loans.
Historically, real estate agents consider house flipping to be a peak of a housing market. This can sometimes also signal over heating in the property realm. However, past year’s rise is nowhere close to the historic highs and instead show a steady increase that can be at most considered a healthy uptrend. Nationally speaking, it is well under control barring a few regions.

Know Thy Neighborhood for Renting Success?
'What is a good cap rate' is usually the first metric people look for when determining whether the potential real estate investment is appealing to them. If you are wondering what is a good cap rate, it's up to you to decide. For instance, if you're getting a good 6% percent for a shaky neighborhood with plenty of risks, 6% might not be worthwhile. Finding good tenants in a good neighborhood is what matters. Getting to know the neighborhood is surprisingly one of the simplest ways to improve the value of your rental property.
The more involvement you show, the easier it becomes to identify areas of the community that you can enhance. It is beneficial to understand and support the neighborhood you are serving because it will also encourage others show pride in the communities they live in.

What are Landlord's Legal Rights?
Every landlord or real estate investor wants decent tenants the day they think of buying rental property. Quiet tenants are considered a good choice as they never create a fuss and live quietly without any complaints or arguments. But, sometimes this silence of the tenant raises the issue of abandonment.
Generally, landlords focus on trouble-makers and overlook the silent absentees. Silence is good, but not always! If you find that your tenants have disappeared without any notice or are off on long vacation, make sure you inquire about them to avoid any problems down the line.
Rental property abandonment is a major problem for landlords. Buying rental property involves such risks right from the very beginning. The situation gets worse if the tenants abandon their furniture, magazines, books, and even trash. If you are facing this kind of problem, the following are some tips that you should keep in mind.
