| 3 Simple Ways to Make Money by Flipping a Property – Yes in Omaha, Nebraska! By Fred Tichauer, Associate Broker , Keller Williams |
| “Flipping” is the buzzword of the year in real estate: the word flipping is found everywhere in the newspaper, flipping shows on TV at 2 AM!What is flipping, how does it work, and how you can profit?“Flipping “simply means buying a property and reselling it quickly, as opposed to holding on to it as a long term rental.
Flip Strategy #1: Buy, fix, and flip
Let’s start with the most common form–the good, old “fix and flip.” This involves buying a property that needs work, fixing it up, then selling on the “retail” market, that is, to an owner occupied person .This method is tried and true and works very well. You can easily make $5, 000, $10,000- $30000 or more on one deal. The danger in fix and flips is either paying too much or underestimating repairs. Be very conservative in your fix-up costs and length of time it may take to resell. Know how many homes are currently listed on the market in the area and what the selling price was for similar homes. Remember, this is a business for you and you should not be dealing with emotion; therefore, price the home slightly under market value so that the owner occupied home helps to sell yours. Flip Strategy #2: Buy and flip “as is” Don’t like to do fix-up work? Consider selling the property “as is” as a light fixer upper. You should be able to sell the property in poor condition just a little below market. . Make sure, of course, that you acquire the property cheap enough that you can sell it below market quickly and still profit. Flip Strategy #3: Wholesale A great opportunity to make some quick money. You can buy the property cheap and sell it for just a few thousand dollars more to another investor without doing any work. You won’t make nearly as much as the rehabber, but you will realize your profit quickly. |

Why Buy Investment Real Estate in Metro/Omaha Today and not tomorrow? By Fred Tichauer, Associate Broker Keller Williams
Real Estate has created more self made millionaires than literally any other investment available in today’s society. I have personally seen many individuals in the metro area that have accomplished that status. Whether you are looking to purchase rental properties as a long term investment or to rehab and flip – real estate investing can be another a wealth building investment option that can provide great returns. .With the constant fluctuation and my own experience in the stock market, I think real estate is a wonderful option and opportunity for those that are willing to take some risks.There are several reasons why investing in Real Estate is one of the best investment opportunity options out there.1. Above Average Returns – With real estate you can invest a small amount of your own capital with the potential to reap great rewards. It is not unrealistic to think of a 9-12% return on investment and depending how much risk an individual is willing to accept the return can even be higher.
2. Equity is the difference between what is owed on a property and what the property is worth. Equity may be accessed when you sell a property, when you refinance the property, to pay off higher interest loans, to reinvest, or any other reason you see fit. .If you have lived on your own personal residence for a number of years, how much equity have you seen in your property? Therefore, now more than ever there is a tremendous opportunity that we have not seen in years to buy properties at discounted prices and get instant equity.
3. Cash flow if you are purchasing a rental property one of the major considerations you must take into account is the amount of cash flow this property generates. This is the difference between how much this property brings in each month and the amount of money the property costs you per month to own and operate. (Taxes, insurance, interest, maintenance etc) A good rental will pay for itself.
4. Tax Reasons-Real estate provides many tax benefits that include tax write offs, business expenses, value appreciation, tax depreciation, tax shelters, tax exchanges, etc… Consult an experienced real estate tax accountant to see what benefits you can take advantage of.
In conclusion, there is no better time than today to begin the road toward financial independence by investing in Real Estate. There are very few business opportunities that exist where someone else is making your mortgage payment and your investment is working for you 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Gets a jump on Real Estate investing by interviewing a Realtor that understands the market and can provide the practical knowledge to guide you every step of the way.

5 Reasons to buy a home right now!
Posted by 4omaha under For Buyers, General Information
- Interest rates. With rates on a 30 year loan around 5.5% – 5.75% now is the time to lock into a great loan. Just check out the history of rates over the last 35 years – http://www.freeomahainfo.com/buying.asp
- It™s winter. This is a great time of year to buy a home. What better motivation for a seller then not to have to shovel snow at two places or pay for heat at two homes.
- Inventory and Market Time. People tend to be busy with other things during the winter months. Christmas, New Year and Families. Homes tend to be on the market a little longer and that means there might be a great deal waiting for you on a home that has nothing wrong with it.
- Buy at the bottom of the cycle. You have heard it a million times. Buy low and sell high. Buy when everyone else is selling. Well here is your chance. 3 years ago all you heard about was how great real estate was. Now all you hear is how bad things are and the sky is falling. The Omaha market average selling price was only off by less then 1% last year. Use this national cycle to your advantage.
- Great Deals. Now is the time to hunt out the great deals and wait for the cycle to continue moving. In January we helped a few buyers hunt down some awesome deals that will not be around that much longer. Start looking today at www.FreeOmahaInfo.com

Posted by 4omaha under For Buyers, For Sellers, General Information
The Omaha area real estate market saw small dip in price and total volume for 2007. However things are not near as bad as the public would think. Here is the end of year totals according to the Great Plains REALTORS Multiple Listing Service.2007 vs 2006
Total number of homes sold: 10728 vs 11432
Average Selling Price: $172,365 vs $174,286
That is less then a 1% decrease on average selling price. So if you are a buyer and seller in the Omaha area market, things are not that bad. If you have questions about real estate, the current Omaha market or just marketing advice let us know.
