Categories of Real Estate Investment

1. Renting single family homes. Good points: An easier way to get started, and good long term return on investment.
2. Fixer-uppers. Good points: Fast return on your investment, and it can be more creative work.
3. Low income housing. Good points: Similar to any other rentals, but with higher cash flow.
4. Selling rent-to-own houses. Good points: If you buy, then sell on a rent-to-own arrangement, you get higher rent, and the buyer is usually responsible for maintenance.
5. Commercial properties. Good points: Multi-year triple-net leases mean little management and high returns.
6. Land, split and resold. Good points: Simpler than some real estate investments, with the possibility of great profits.
7. Boarding houses. Good points: You'll generate more cash flow renting a house by the room, especially in a college town.
8.Invest cash, sell with terms. Good points: A high rate of return is possible by paying cash to get a good price, and selling on easy terms to get a high price AND high interest.
9. Invest, live in it, sell it. Good points: The tax law lets you fix it up, and sell it for a big tax-free profit after two years (if you live in it), then start the process again.
10.Pure speculation. Good points: You can make large profits buying in the path of growth and holding until values rise, and it is a low-management investment.

Great, those are categories of investing in real estate. Most of the Realtors work on residential and commercial properties and most of businessmen invest in that category.

Thanks, it was very useful. And i like most is low income housing. It can be very profitable now as the recession is still on.

I haven't seen a very useful post like this one in days. Copied the whole text to a notepad. Thanks for sharing. I hope it'll remove any confusion of the members.
