Northern Virginia Real Estate Investment
FREE Investment Property Hot Sheet
Investing in Northern Virginia Real Estate offers excellent opportunities to build wealth. This region offers many residential and commercial options from Condos, Townhomes and Single Family Homes to Commercial Condos, small medium and large box Retail Facilities. The four typical ways wealth is generated through investment properties are:
- Rental income can generate a positive cash flow if it exceeds your expenses
- As real estate increases in value it increases your equity position
- Tax savings (many expenses such as interest, depreciation and maintenance can reduce your taxable income)
- By financing the investment property you are able to leverage borrowed funds to further increase profits.
Many investors have found that their greatest profits have been made not on the sale but on the purchase end of the transaction. This is why it�s extremely helpful for a Realtor to assist you in the identification, analysis and negotiation process.
As realtors we have access to current and historical data trends. We are easily able to research tax records, consult appraisers, inspectors and contractors to identify which properties will carry a more favorable resale value and which properties are likely to appreciate in value faster.
What type of Investment Property suits you?
Resale Sales
Resale sales are the most common type of property sale where the owner is an individual, couple, family, company or partnership. As an investor you want to gauge the motivation of the seller, number of days on the market and the condition or future potential of the subject property to factor the best investment opportunities.
Estate Sales
Estate Sales are properties which are ordered sold - often triggered through the death of the owner and or by the instructions of the will or court order.
Short Sales
Short Sales are properties in which the owner may be current on the mortgage payments but because of market conditions the net sales price of the property will not be sufficient to pay off the entire loan obligation. In this scenario a 3rd Party (usually the Lender (s)) must be asked to give final approval to the sale. Negotiation of short sales can often take several weeks.
Pre-Foreclosures
Pre-Foreclosures are properties in which the owner is behind on their payments to the mortgage company or have been purchased back by the lender but have not been re-listed for sale.
Auction Foreclosures
Auction Foreclosures are properties owned by banks that will be auctioned off. Many experienced investors compete at these auctions and though individual homebuyers may participate in the bidding, it�s often a challenge to out-bid the investors. Many Auction Foreclosures occur at the Court House Steps. Consult your local newspaper for dates and time.
Listed Foreclosures
Listed Foreclosures are bank owned properties that are actively listed with a Real Estate Broker.
