Getting Started with Fixer Upper & Rental Houses (Video)

Friday, September 10th, 2010

I think that buying fixer upper houses and turning them into rental properties is the easiest way to make money in real estate. You can do it in your spare time and still work your 8:00 to 5:00 job. And, rental houses can create a steady new income stream, that could even allow you to retire from your regular job, as I did.

This video which provides a general overview of the process for starting up a fixer upper and rental house business.

William Nickerson – real estate better than stocks

Thursday, August 5th, 2010

William Nickerson, in his book How I Turned$1,000 into Three Million in Real Estate – in My Spare Time, said “you success with real estate properties is enhanced because you can retain control of it.”

Many people have made money in stocks, but they relinquish control of their money, except when to buy or sell.

When investing in real estate properties, you can retain personal control in all stages of the selection, operation and improvement of your investments. You are the captain of your own ship.

Welcome to my new ‘fixer upper and rental house’ blog home!

Friday, May 7th, 2010

Welcome to my new website.

Make yourself right at home. Pull up a chair, have a cup of coffee, and check out some of my articles, useful links, or previous posts. Hopefully, you’ll discover some useful investing information.

To keep you in the loop, I am developing some new resource materials to help you get started in the house fixer-upper and rental business.

First and foremost, I am putting the finishing touches on my new book entitled “Never Sell Your Home! How to turn your home into a rental house.” Watch this space for further developments.

Even with rising interest rates, now is still a good time for do-it-yourselfers to start a new income stream with a rental house or two. House prices are still at rock bottom lows, but before too long they will start moving up again.

The key is to find a good fixer-upper house in a location where people like to rent. It’s still the best way to start your own business, and establish some long-term economic security!

Sometimes going through tough economic times is just the push that we need to start on a new path.

When tough times hit, I like to reflect on Lincoln’s saying, “We can complain that the rose bushes have thorns, or we can rejoice that the thorn bushes have roses.”
