Acquiring Lots The Right Best Way!

By Gavin J. King

During the latest real estate boom, many speculators were cashing in by purchasing land and finding a buyer who was willing to pay more than what it was originally purchased for. But, land is a great investment as long as you follow these simple strategies to make money.

The first rule to remember is that if you own real estate the "right way" then it is always a safe and good investment. In other words, using your cash will help keep your bottom line stable and secure, without putting your assets on the line. To have a home that is paid off is the utmost in stability and mental ease, because you do not have to worry about the possibility of losing your property. I realize this is not an option for most people, so maybe consider it as an ideal more than anything else. For those whom this strategy is a possible or realistic one, real estate is the safest place to store your cash, and avoid being taxed on it.

Keeping your real estate that is free of debt as rental or income properties is a great way to compile a source of income that is always there when you need it. If you earn a six figure income and want to avoid paying the full amount of taxes on it, you can reduce your tax liability on your net sheet by buying real estate. Using your tax money to purchase real estate, instead of simply paying it directly to the IRS, is easier than you might think, and will effect your net sheet in such a way that you will actually pay less in taxes. You tax professional can explain all of the ins and outs of using your income in this manner.

Buying building lots for investments can be more risky because their is an over abundance of inventory in most U.S. markets, due to overzealous lenders and developers during the boom earlier in the decade. Waiting on the extra building lots to be absorbed into the market may take time, but as soon as it happens the market will be a good bet again. With the long term in your plans, buying building lots and holding them is a great idea, and only if you can do it without involving the bank, otherwise stay away from them for a few more years.

I advise people to buy with any means, other than bank financing, due to fees, interest and other prosperity killers. There are other options for getting rentals from the land you own, like doing joint ventures with a local builder, so keep your eyes open and make sure to cover your own assets in all of your business dealings. - 23208
