When
investing in Beaverton,
Oregon, one of the biggest mistakes I see is the investors don’t know
the real
estate market or the numbers before they try to purchase a
property.
One of the
problems with most investors is the same problem that most
entrepreneurs have,
we don’t take advice well. We all want to just do it, and because we
know what
is best for us, so we hire people to help us, yet we don’t hear their
advice until
after it is too late.
One of the things I tell
investors is, I can give you the numbers, but
I know
you won’t listen. I want to make sure you don’t lose your
shirt on your
current
investments or the ones you plan to purchase. So, what I do for my
investor
clients investing in the Beaverton, Oregon, real estate market is give
them a
tool to check the numbers on any investment home they plan to purchase.
They
can do all the research themselves prior to ever calling me. This lets
them
continue to be the expert and you never have to admit you are wrong.
(Something
I will admit I hate doing myself.)
So, be confident in your
choice of properties every time and plug in
the
address of the home you are planning to invest in and check the numbers
before
you buy, this will tell you if the price you are going to
pay is a good
price,
how much the rents are in the area, and show you your monthly and
yearly cash
flow from the property. There are great deals out there, but you want
to be the
one in power when you make an offer.
So, if you are an
investor in the Beaverton or Tigard area, please give
me a
call and check out my investor site and see for yourself how the tools
I
provide for you for free can make you a knowledgeable and wiser
investor.

What if there was a way you could search the MLS for FREE just like Realtors
Now you can access the MLS using similar tools as Realtors. You are in control of what you want to search for, and you can search the MLS at your leisure. The information you submit in the form below can also be used to put you on an automated system where you'll be emailed all homes that meet your search criteria. You'll get internet access to a website that includes pictures, prices, and addresses to real estate that's listed in the MLS!

I've done my share of investing. As that is the case, I can tell you that I'd listen to you. Really :)
TLW...ROAR!

Numbers don't lie unless they are fraudulant. I love investors who can read an income-expense statement and say " These Numbers don't work at this price".
We had a seller withdraw a listing recently because they believe their property is worth way more than the price they set which was already too high!
Todd, I checked out your Anyalze Property page button. Very nice. Blessings, Jill
Todd, I think most investors want to be savvy and not appear they don't actually know what they are doing. Provide them the information and they will listen, it is just that they maybe to proud to admit they are wrong sometimes.
Thank you everyone for your kind words and I think you maybe right about investors who want to become better investors, they will listen and learn. Those who don't won't be investors very long.
Todd .. I was trying to find Erealestateanalyzer software and was pointed to your site and blog. I clicked your analyzer button, which kicked me over to Point 2 Homes but not to the analyzer. Do you still use that and link to your analyzer buttom? Where is that? Thanks.
