Buyers use a wide variety of resources in searching for a home: 90 percent use the Internet, 87 percent rely on real estate agents, 59 percent yard signs, 46 percent attend open houses and 40 percent look at print or newspaper ads. Although buyers also use other resources, they generally start the search process online and then contact an agent.

Question by dflkjaw n: How to protect my parents from Real Estate Dissaster?
My mother is planning on buying real estate with my grandmother and aunt. All three provides capital for down payment, grandmother provides the loan, and my aunt and grandmother live in it since the’ve only lived in apartments for the longest time.

This time they think they will just pick up a foreclosure…

The problem is that their plan is for the property to be split up when my grandmother dies. But there is ANOTHER aunt that could lay claim to the property after this AND the argument could deffinately be made that since my mother only provided an initial down payment and didn’t pay the mortgage she could easily lose out on the “1/3 share” of the property she thinks she will get. ALSO my parents don’t think these things out, they were originaly going to get land thinking in 5 years they will cash out not knowing much research goes into land speculation on top of the fact that they would have to be paying the mortgage, no renter, until they did sell it.
(Sorry its not that im stupid, the program just mixed up some of my paragraphs, the line about foreclosure goes here)… They think (because they told me) that you could get foreclosures for really cheap, like 150k off of market value. And I tried explaining that its simply not as easy as the late night infomercials make it sound but I’m their son so what do I know. They really think its going to be easy and nothing will go wrong but as with all things, especialy business between family members, this WILL go sour and I don’t want to see my parents burned. They won’t start an LLC, get a contract signed with all members, anything to cover themselves.

What on earth could I tell them to bring them to their senses? Websites or resources they can read so that they know that they really need to treat this as if they are dealing with non-relitive investors?

Question by RL: Is it good time to buy real estate investment in las vegas now?
Is it good time to buy real estate in las vegas,NV now? The purpose is to invest, rent out for vacation.

If so, what is the good/safe area to buy a detached house ? I will search for the price of the area online later. Thanks a lot for the help.

Best answer:

Answer by loanmasterone
Yes this is a good time to invest in real estate in just about any part of the United States.

You have to do what is called in the real estate investment trade as foot work.

No one can determine what property your would consider a good safe area. What one person consider safe and a good area might not be so good to another.

So get in your car, check out a few areas that you would want to invest in. At the time you are checking out the area make sure you get the crime reports from the local police.

You might also get out of the car and talk to the people walking and talking on the street. I find that they normally know more than the police, because the police can only tell you what crimes are reported to them.

You might also purchase a couple of real estate investment books from your local book store. This will assist you with several things you need to know before investing in real estate. Ignorance cost a high price.

#1 You will also need an effective marketing plan

#2 You will need real estate professionals to assist you with your new investment field.

#3 You will need a source of funds to fund your real estate acquisitions. (Don’t depend on banks in a up or down turn in the real estate market, they are not your best friends.)

I hope this has been of some benefit to you, good luck.
