To solve the biggest risks and challenges real estate investors have been facing since the subprime market meltdown in the fall of 2007, I started developing, systemizing and sharing The Ultimate Strategy for buying and selling houses at the end of that year. The ultimate strategy is a business model created to show people how to invest in real estate by focusing on finding sellers that own their homes free and clear. Believe it or not, according to the U.S. Census Bureau one-third of all homes in the United States are owned free and clear. Meaning there is no mortgage on them. Regardless of what's happening in the economy, everyone needs a home. So you always have a never-ending market of homebuyers and tenants. Likewise, there's always a parade of single family homeowners looking to sell, for countless reasons, whether good and bad. In most cases, the longer you hold a property the more money you can make as a real estate investor. Real estate investors make their wealth over time through equity build up. You can capture equity buying at a discount, which most investors rely on. But, to build equity you must own and hold appreciating investments. The alternative to holding is flipping. Many real estate investors focus on flipping properties, quickly getting in and out. The Ultimate Strategy allows you to flip deals, but flipping every deal is a job. Once the property is sold it's off to the next deal for another paycheck. Investors will flip deals for a quick $5,000 to $20,000 profit. But the minimum profit target on deals using The Ultimate Strategy is $5,000 to $10,000 each year held. With an average profit of $7,000 per year for 9 years, that's about $63,000 per deal. and that's net of all buying, holding and selling expenses. Buying and holding real estate investment properties is more profitable than flipping PLUS you can construct offers that get you cash That means you need to get a great price or great terms. Your competitors are always trying to get the best price, but such a narrow focus misses the vast opportunities for getting great terms instead. The Ultimate Strategy allows you to build equity and wealth using "forced appreciation" through rapid debt reduction strategies. And since it's a long-term buy and hold approach you can "hold out" for market appreciation by structuring deals that last 7, 10 or even 20 years. With enough cash flow and rapid principal reduction locked in for many years, you can actually offer a seller a purchase price higher than any other buyer, whether another real estate investor or an owner occupant. Buying real estate investments better than no money down using The Ultimate Strategy means collecting all the cash you need to find, buy, fix up and occupy a property. and collecting all this cash on the day you buy. Therefore, this investing model focuses on properties with lots of equity and then using the equity to fund the deal. Whether a seller accepts a deeply discounted cash offer or a much higher one by financing their equity, each deal is self-funding - without new bank loans, using your credit or investing your own capital.
