Now's A Good Time For Houston Investment Property
Low Cost Opportunities
Although current property climate in the US is not so encouraging for short term investors; with shrewd planning one can still manage to reap profits.
The key parameter today is location, places like Florida and Texas will always attract tourists and they hardly ever have an off-season. As you would see once you get into the Houston investment property market, the off-plan prices are always lower than the completed projects at comparable locations with similar scale of development. This has given birth to the "flip" investment strategy, where the capital investors sell off the unit prior to project completion. They basically rely on the appreciation of value as the project nears its completion. It is therefore important to get the terms and conditions of re-assignment of property clarified before you enter into the deal. At times, the trade-off for the power to reassign is a charge to be paid in form of a certain percentage of the purchase price.
Timeline
A lot of easy payment options are available in the market today. The investor can payoff in certain pre-decided installments. Another scheme is to take a token amount at the beginning and rest of the payment after completion of the Houston investment property project. The scope of profit is increased if investment is made early in the project life cycle. This way the investor gets to choose the most attractive unit in the project.
Assess Risk
Risk management is probably the most important facet of any investment. The investor will always have a range of choices in front of him. The key is to rate each Houston investment property opportunity in terms of certain predefined parameters like appearance, location and facilities; and then evaluate each option individually.
Next comes the plan to exit the Houston investment property at its profitable best. Investors should always have an exit strategy and a backup plan for some contingency; e.g., if the right buyer is not located in time.
ROI
In spite of the impending economic recovery, the market is still not very profitable in the short run. The long-term story is entirely different, Houston property rates are expected to boom after a few years and coupled with rising rent rates this forms a brilliant money making opportunity. To add on to the benefits, one can lap up one of the profitable ventures in the pre-release stage, thereby ensuring a discounted pricing. - 23196
