I educate people on how to build property portfolios without using up a whole lot of their cash, and creating cash flow and growth!
(PRWEB) April 08, 2014
Real estate investing educator, Rick Otton, has revealed in his most recent Creative Real Estate podcast ‘Street Smart Secrets to Real Estate Wealth’, that one of the biggest hurdles faced by aspiring property investors is in the way they market themselves and their business. Mr Otton said without a defined target market message, investors’ clients were at risk of being bamboozled.
“You’ve got to have a message and it can’t be a mixed message - otherwise people won’t know what you stand for,” Mr Otton warned.
“The other thing is that you need to know who your market is, and go for that. In my case, I educate people on how to build property portfolios without using up a whole lot of their cash, and creating cash flow and growth!
“But when people ask me ‘what do you do?’, I just say, ‘I move people out of houses who no longer want to be in them, and give them to people who do’. That’s my elevator speech.”
Creative Solutions for Property Investing
In the podcast, Rick also responded to a number of podcast listeners who had sent in questions. One person said they had a $350,000 house debt on a property worth only $250,000. They were making repayments of about $1,700 a month and were wanting to get out of the situation.
“This is a pretty common problem,” Mr Otton said.
“One of the things you can do is arrange to have a buyer coming in making payments over a shorter-term time frame.
“Also when you get these kinds of loans that are this far upside down, one of the things I’ve found you can do is approach the financial institution connected to the property and arrange an alternative solution - because they don’t want to have the property back and lose money.”
Mr Otton also suggested learning ‘the lingo’ of real estate agents to achieve a stronger strike rate with transactions.
