What Is Better Than Craigslist?

Everybody knows there are ENDLESS opportunities to find great deals and make real estate investing profits online.

And everybody also knows that, for example, Craigslist is one of the BIGGEST collections of classified ads for real estate investors to find deals and opportunities.

So while Craigslist is certainly a great resource, EVERYONE is there.

So there’s a lot of competition.

And a lot of repetition.

What if I told you there was a way to get to an UNTAPPED SOURCE of classified
property ads, real estate opportunities and more that few investors know about…

What if I told you this source contained ads and deals you wouldn’t find elsewhere.

And what if I told you it was completely virtual and totally FR-EE to use?

How about a free site called:

http://www.NewsPaperLinks.com!

What’s Newspaperlinks.com?

It’s your single source to get access to EVERY LOCAL NEWSPAPERS ONLINE CLASSIFIED ADS!

What’s so great about it, Mike? Why’s it going to help me make money?

Well, two reasons.

1. First off, because these local online classifieds are not as heavily searched as say Craigslist, there is A LOT less competition! This means in many markets you will be one of only a few or possibly the only creative investor going after deals. Plus, there’s less competition when you post your own ads which can also mean a better response.
2. Secondly, NOT everybody uses Craigslist. In fact, if you are new to the internet and NOT tech savvy, you are much more likely to place an Online Ad for the first time here because the newspaper that’s been getting dropped on your doorstop for the last 20 years told you to. This means you will find properties and opportunities here you will not find elsewhere. It’s also a great resource as a virtual investor as it lets you really see what’s going on in a certain area – even if you’re looking for something as simple as a handyman or property manager.

One of the keys to being truly successful as in online investor is having access to BETTER information than everybody else AND being able to find it FASTER than the competition can!

Enjoy.

Increase Your Cashflow With Lease Options

We are in a new reality in the real estate market. Gone are the days where you can just buy a house and watch it automatically increase $100,000 in equity in a couple of years. As the market conditions change it is up to us as savvy investors to change our strategies and tactics to work within the market that we have to invest in

As an investor that specializes in working with properties that are in foreclosure, one very powerful profit strategy that you can use to maximize your income in this changing market is to use lease option investing. This style of investing is excellent for this market and works very well when you are acquiring properties that are in a pre-foreclosure status.

When you acquire a property that is in pre-foreclosure you need to have a strategy to profit from that property. It does you no good to go through all of the negotiations and work involved to acquire a property just to find that you have no way of making money on the deal.

A lease option is an excellent way for you to maximize on the overall profit that you can earn from a real estate investment. By utilizing a lease option, there are a number of benefits that you can take advantage of particularly in this market.

So what is a lease option? A lease option is an agreement between the owner of the property (in this case you) and a potential buyer of a property. With this agreement the potential buyer agrees to lease the property from you for a pre-determined time period.

In return, you offer the potential buyer the right to be able to purchase the property from you from a specific price at anytime during the term of the lease. The price is fixed at an amount equal to and sometimes lower than the going prices for real estate in todays market.

The potential buyer pays rent that is equal to or sometimes lower than the going rents in the area. The buyer also pays what is called an option consideration. This is a set amount determined by you the seller as a price for offering the buyer the option to purchase the property.

Should the buyer go ahead and exercise the right to purchase the property, the option consideration is used as part of the down payment for the property. However, if the buyer fails to purchase the property before the option period expires, you as the owner of the property can keep it.
