Rick Otton Explains How Seller Finance Can Help Investors Be Profitable Even When Home Values Flatten
(PRWEB) August 05, 2014 -- Latest statistics from RP Data found that house prices in Melbourne, Perth, and Brisbane flattened this week after 6 weeks of continuous rises, au.news.yahoo.com reported on 28 July 2014.
In light of this property news, Rick Otton, a highly-sought after property coach and best-selling author, discusses how property investors can remain profitable in changing market conditions.
“Market analysts explained that the slowdown in price growth may be attributed to the rebalancing of the Australian economy now that the mining boom is slowing down. They also believe that whatever will happen in the next few months may be a sneak peek into the overall direction of the real estate market,” he said.
“The industry changed a great deal after the global financial crisis, because that’s when everybody realised that market conditions can be very unpredictable. If you want to remain ahead, you need to make sure that you have multiple escape plans so you can use a cash flow strategy that’s suitable whichever way the market turns,” commented Mr. Otton.
Mr. Otton then said in a recent interview for We Buy Houses Radio that one way to leverage your property against a flat market is through entering the market using seller financing.
“I’m a firm believer of the saying that ‘prevention is better than cure’ and seller financing helps investors make their properties ‘recession-proof’, since it allows them to negotiate with sellers and enter into flexible terms that can be modified depending on what the situation calls for. This way, it become easier to have an exit strategy available for any market condition you encounter,” according to Mr. Otton.
