Hey everybody. Dean here. Today I’m not going to write about teaching, or tell you any of the neat stuff that’s going on with my daughter or anything personal. Today I just want to know how many of you would be interested in going on a vacation of a lifetime to the Caribbean.
Better yet. Would you like it if I PAID to send you and a guest on that vacation of a lifetime?
And what if during that vacation, we picked a day for you and I to hang out together for dinner or lunch, to talk about investing?
Then, what if after we met, I decided to partner up with you on some investments? Deals where I put up the cash and you find the properties and we enjoy the profits together?

We’ve all heard many times the saying that “real estate is local.” It stays around because it is very true. There are so many very localized factors that influence home prices.
l Changes in local government codes and regulations.
l Business and industry moving in or moving out of the area.
l New subdivision, shopping centers or other major construction projects
l Movement between areas, causing some to grow while others stagnate.
The fact that you live in the area in which you invest is your greatest information asset. You can keep up with all of these and other factors that will determine where home prices will go, and where rentals will be in demand. However, there is no substitute for a very thorough knowledge of your market from the larger area and national perspectives. Read the rest of this entry »

The astute real estate investor tracks area economic activity, population growth, industry and commercial activity, as well as quality of life. All of these factors will influence the growth of the area, and home price appreciation usually follows. If building isn’t keeping pace with population growth, one can expect rent increases for better return on investment as well.
As government gets more involved in almost all phases of our lives, another very important factor to watch in an area is governmental regulation and its impact on building and development. A primary reason for much of the price appreciation in California has been governmental restrictions on development and construction. Anything that increases the costs of construction will also increase the value of homes. Read the rest of this entry »

Investment Fear versus Ordinary Homeowner Experience
But most Americans shy away from real estate deals except when purchasing their own homes. For one thing, it is a common misunderstanding that real estate investments always require a substantial financial commitment and years of experience and professional insight. People are afraid to get involved because they don’t have enough cash or know-how. Meanwhile others get into real estate on a shoestring and gain valuable knowledge in the process. And people tend to stay out of the real estate game when prices are falling, although that can – and usually is – the most profitable and less cash intensive time to participate. The bottom line is that most consumers don’t know enough about real estate physics – the forces that shape its moves and create profits – so they deny themselves a fast track to wealth and prosperity.
Yet despite their reluctance to get into real estate investment, most homeowners acknowledge – rather ironically – that their own home represents the best investment they’ve made in their entire lifetime.
And when they bought that great investment, they did much of the work themselves and just left the highly technical procedures and nitty-gritty details up to lawyers, brokers, building inspectors, and mortgage companies. In other words, anyone who has ever owned a home knows more that enough to successfully invest in real estate. Although they don’t often recognize it, they have already proven that they can invest for success, because they did it when buying their own residence.
