5 Roadblocks for Investors
Categories: Blog Posts
Did you know that there are 5 major roadblocks for real estate investors? By identifying these roadblocks, investors can not only ease their frustration, but they can prevent a finance wall by creating cash flow. Let’s take a brief look at all 5 today!
First, Cash Flow:
Cash flow can greatly affect your success as an investor! If you property’s expenses outweigh your profits, then that’s going to hurt you and your business. The best way to avoid this is to make a plan and know your numbers upfront!
Second, Escrow:
Escrow is a portion of the loan a lending company puts aside for repairs to the property. The only way to access these funds is to submit receipts, photos, and other proof to your lender that the repairs are underway.
Third, Too Many Projects:
From multiple property costs to paying contractors, investors can get too big too fast. It is important to “err on the side of caution” to prevent the “finance crunch” that often occurs. So, slow down, be realistic, and limit your losses.
Fourth, Rentals:
It is critical that you learn to navigate rental cash flow. Remember, the deal needs to be a positive investment, not a negative one! Consider all of the costs, including rents, taxes, and insurance.
Finally, Personal Credit Usage:
Be careful not to misuse personal credit cards in order to cushion purchases or expenses. Consider a business credit card to keep business expenses separate!
