The problem is that as an investor, you have been trained to shop for properties FIRST, and almost never for financing. Finding right financing FIRST will save you and make you more money over time, than you purchasing undervalued properties and selling them later at or above market prices. I will repeat this….. MOST REAL ESTATE INVESTORS DO NOT UNDERSTAND THE IMPORTANCE OF FINANCING within investment equation. The ability to save on amount of interest rate you are being charged…. month after month….. year after year… 2 or 3 % or more is huge. You may also find out what I already know….. . by securing financing first…..THIS OPENS UP NEW INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITIES!

Let’s review some of BENEFITS that come with purchasing Commercial Real Estate:

1) Unlike residential real estate, commercial real estate’s only purpose is to make money for its investors. If there was a 7% cap rate on $5,000,000 sample property, it would cash flow $350,000 annually. 2) Do you think you would enjoy having professional tenants with long term leases? 3) Would it excite you if your investment projects qualify for Non recourse financing? 4) You can totally eliminate process of rehabbing properties. 5) How about this…… YOU no longer have to chase tenants down to collect rent. 6) You no longer have to pay penalties to lenders for not being in owner occupied properties. 7) Expand your investment search throughout all 50 states. 8) Last and probably MOST BENEFICIAL of all of perks….You can qualify to purchase these properties using your commercial tenant's credit rating, business cash flow and their long-term rental leases!

4. Use a smaller mortgage company that can offer personal service. People tend to go with large, well-known mortgage companies, since that's all they know. But smaller, regional companies provide excellent customer service, and can often give you better rates than big companies. Since they don't advertise and instead rely on word-of-mouth, they have to be good in order to get your service. We started off with a big-name company, but in end, we went with a regional company because they had better rates and better customer service.

5. Always have a home inspection. I think most people know this fact already, but it is really important in areas with a hot real estate market. It can be easy to get caught up in bidding wars, and to want to get a house at all costs. Some friends of ours wanted a house so badly that not only did they overbid, but they also waived home inspection. They got house - and right along with it they got several thousand dollars worth of damage that would have been found in an inspection. As a final note, try to remember that buying a home doesn't have to be scary. It's very exciting to own your own home, so think of all good things that will come once you have made it through home-buying process. If you follow advice above, then you should be well-equipped to make it through unscathed.

6. Save money and shop for your home insurance easy way!
