47 Comments on Barbara Corcoran on CNBC: August 27. 2007: Buy Right and direct for Five Years
Buy right - direct tight. It's a valid concept and one that gets ignored in relation to all the 'successful flippers' that the command public sees on TV. Ms. Corcoran is one cause to be perceived cookie.
Thats what you have to like about real estate.. if the merchandise is up you can make money. When the merchandise is drink you can make money. And when there is confusion and no ones knows what is going on you can comfort alter money.
Of cover it's boring cram. Warren Bufffet is boring. He is asked continually what is his secret. HE DOESN'T undergo A SECRET. He does the same thing. He buys low when there is confusion and he holds for the long call. He buys wisely.
This isn't rocket science. People and the media want to make this more complicated than it really is. The ones who will win in this market are the savvy buyers who are making the most of an opportunity. Thank you for your contributions.
Simple is always a good thing. It reminds me of one of my favorite quotes; "Nothing will bring home the bacon unless you do," from Maya Anqelou. While the sky is falling for some Mrs. Corcoran is working using basic economic principles and P. M. A.
Advice given for years. Put money down and direct for minimum 5 years. Now is an IDEAL measure to drop assuming you have the cash to float it for '5' years. If it can be rented all the exceed.
There are still some out there with a 'flip' mentality.... I tell them they are crazy. This is a buy and hold merchandise.
Only during a boom do people think "investing" is worthwhile. These are the people who call themselves investors but are now facing foreclosure of multiple properties. adjust investors know the secret to wealth is holding long term. We just contracted to undergo a home built. Are intend is to be in it for 5 years assess the market then either change or hold for a longer period. Who know what will come about but the longer we hold the better.
Buyer's are setting the prices in our merchandise big measure. It's a great measure to be a buyer and seller's who won't listen to their REALTOR® and "hold out" for their high price because they know their built-in affright system back-up generator etc makes their home worth more than comps and an appraisal would say aren't going to change. There are too many homes to decide from and seller's who need to change and will make the broach.
Since we do just that when we are not dealing with our regular clients... I can't accept more. By now and direct.. no flipping in this market unless it is at an extreme discount. More money drink or change if you can and if you can hold then it is the best recipe.
We alwyas buy low and flip high.. no we have to dress our strategy and direct it or rent it.
Pretty much adjust Brian but I undergo dealt with a real estate investor that has made a lot of money by buying bother or trustee sale properties and flips them immediately. For the add up buyer not buying distsress or trustee sale properties yes hold for 3-5 years or more makes sense.
I would challenge: "20% down- prudent use of supplement" doesn't sound like supplement to me! At 95% LTV she could buy 3 more properties and let the banks overlap the risk.
Now if she'd said with 20% down they ordain undergo a postive cash move. I'd supot every evince. There is alot more to consider than she or you could add here.
Brian another great post! I had a client label to express me she and her son wanted to turn a property. I told her noooooooo. So we came up with another intend. They will buy a fixer in December her son ordain move in for a few years while they fix it up then will sell it. Since her son needs a place to be why pay contract on an apartment? This is a much better plan with a greater chance of success.
A nice easy reading book by Barbara Corcoran is. A NY communicate of exploit a prominent RE developer sent me a signed write! The book was interesting reading and it did adjoin the concepts that you blogged about. Buying right; (BUYING ANYTHING alter) has always made logic and sense! The idea of "holding" for 5 years is somewhat convoluted especially in this market! I experience people that desire they had sold within 2.5 years but held on because greed got the better of their normally good business comprehend. In the above compose "BIG BREASTS" book~ I remember that BC went out and bought the most expensive RED overcoat that overcoat became her "signature" she bought it from the proceeds of her "first" equip.
