The Art of the Deal

By: Hughes Brothers

  1. Introduction
  2. Goals
  3. Make the Conversion
  4. Action Plan

Whether you are new to real estate investing or have reached a plateau in your investment life, learning how to structure a “deal” is imperative to your success. Oh sure, just about anyone can “make an offer” and apply for a loan but, will the deal be good for you in the long run? Will you have immediate positive cash flow? Will you be able to rent to quality tenants over a long period of time and then cash out with lower taxed capital gains rates and LOTS OF PROFIT?

The answer to these questions depends on your ability to organize yourself, set in place a “plan of action,” network valuable connections with all the “players” involved and follow through to the closing. However, it is also critical to your long-term success to learn and develop management skills. Without good management, everything else you do will be less profitable---if not an actual loss.

Creative real estate acquisitions are nontraditional. Most of the people you will encounter are accustomed to the old standby traditional methods of buying real estate. This is because most people only buy one or two houses in their lifetime. Therefore, it is not important for them to understand the buying process better. It is also not important for them to establish a “system” to buy Single Family Homes for Profit. But, if you are serious about this business and want to make very large sums of money, you need a Master Plan for success.
