Investors are being told that if they want to get into the rental real estate business, they should buy a rental property above the appraised value. There are companies out there preying on investors by selling properties at a premium, retaining a percentage ownership, and charging for coaching or membership. This is a horrible idea, and on this episode I’m going to tell you why.
On this episode of Investing in Real Estate, you’re going to learn why you should never buy a rental property above the appraised value. I’ll also share some red flags to look for when you’re teaming up with a real estate company. Click play to hear my thoughts!
More About This Show
Three reasons to never buy a rental property above appraised value:
- You are more likely to lose money on your investment.
- You will have less equity out of the gate, which will limit your options for portfolio growth.
- You will have a higher monthly mortgage payment than you would if you purchased at or below appraised value.
Red flags when working with a turnkey real estate company:
- If they’re asking for a premium, they’re overvaluing their product.
- If the merit of your investment is based ONLY on the expected growth, you’re likely missing out on cash flow.
- If the properties are located in hot markets, it’s often not a solid investment.
