Transactional Engineer or Quick Sale Real Estate Investor?

**justincomp** · 07-07-2010, 01:04 AM

I recently went to a real estate seminar and it was talking a bit about transactional engineering. and i tried to do a little more research on this, and a website told me about quick sale real estate investors. i'm so confused right now. which is which? all i'm looking to get into right now is possibly buying and selling contracts. Since i was looking to be a dealer for the moment, i was told the best thing i can get into now is double closing. Also too, at the seminar it was talking about how you didnt need money to buy real estate and you could use hard money lenders. is this a way that i can get into selling houses? i'm really eager to learn so i can hurry and find a mentor and get the ball rolling.

Transaction Engineering for the real estate investor is akin to a carpenter having a well equipped tool box to get the job done correctly, safely, and in a way that everyone involved benefits. In our business it includes acquisition, property management, asset protection, negotiating, and tax planning to name a few.
Transaction engineering is finding out what the other guy

Quick sale real estate investor is not how transactional engineering works,it is a strategic method to give benefits to all the people involved and it cannot be achieved on any quick sale i guess.Are you talking about short sale?

If you're looking for investment opportunities, I'd stay away from the quick-money deals. You should always be prepared and have your "team" lined up - architects, carpenters, etc. - but try to think long term with real estate. Any "flipping" puts you under tremendous pressure and if you can't sell, especially in this economy, then you might end up losing a lot of money.

Being a transaction engineer is being able to smoothly provide what is needed for the buyer or the seller in the deal. If you are the buyer or the seller of your own investments then you still need to engineer the transaction with your buyers; they may need assistance restoring credit to be able to complete the deal, and you further engineer an option contract while follow up with the buyer to clear credit, or you may want to be a buyer and use other people's money to invest with, having the tools to evaluate the location you want to invest in so you make the best choice based on value after investment and repairs (if any) means you are engineering that transaction once again. Decide what you want to do, invest in real property or non performing notes, do your valuations and make sure you cover all your bases is engineering the transaction.
