When your primary plan of action doesn't work, you need to have a backup strategy. This may involve switching gears from a retail sale to a rental or rent-to-own deal.

The Not-So-Handy Man's Guide To Fixing And Flipping Properties
There are many ways to make handsome profits in real estate. You can be a "wholesaler" - someone who quickly snatches up houses and flips them to other investors - or a retailer, someone who fixes them up to resell at the retail level.

Low Income Housing Investments
Low income housing providers get a bad rap. Be ready to be called a slumlord if you invest in it. Much of what people call slumlording though, is simply providing reasonable housing for those with low incomes. It is of benefit to the renter AND the landlord. . . .

Building A Successful Real Estate Team
I didn't understand the concept of a real estate team at first, so I had a hard time with real estate investment. I tended to be a "lone wolf," trying to do too much myself.

The story takes place in 2002, in a mountain town in Montana, where the last of the good jobs had left town twenty-two years earlier when the copper smelter closed.

Remember back when George Bush Sr. was defeated, in large part because people felt he did not address the tough economic conditions that voters faced?

Investing Locally Vs. Nationally In Real Estate Development
You're driving down the street in your hometown when suddenly you see a goldmine sitting in front of you; it is a vacant house, with overgrown weeds and in need of some TLC.

Building Community Consensus For Real Estate Development Projects: Some Ideas
Building community consensus for any new real estate development project is always a frequent worry for the developer. Horror stories abound concerning worthwhile and financially profitable projects ultimately blocked by fanatical opposition from community groups and local activists and these tales of capitalist woe are swapped between real estate developers much like fish tales amongst anglers. . . .

Building spec homes or other projects and doing so profitably is one of the great challenges of the real estate development world.

Developing Historic Properties: Criteria For Doing It The Right Way
Developing historic properties and land is always a challenge since there is an inevitable clash between two mutually exclusive but also equally correct points of view. Preservationists want to capture the buildings, vistas, and experiences of the past for the benefit of the future while developers rightly point out that without new projects historic properties are not economically viable, fall into disrepair, and otherwise are for the most part unrealistic. You cannot preserve the past by preventing the future. . . .

Drafting Real Estate Development Joint Venture Agreements: The Most Important Issues To Cover
Joint venture agreements between partners on a real estate development project can be quite easy to draft or a major negotiating chore, depending on the needs and disposition of the parties. I've drafted agreements between amateur investors short of capital but long on enthusiasm and experienced professionals needing cash that were a snap to put together and also endured endless, tiresome, bickering wars of attrition around the negotiating table between parties with the same levels of experience. . . .

Infill Development: The Pros And Cons
Infill development is simply redevelopment within existing developments.

Performance Zoning: What Is It And How Does It Work?
Performance zoning is a theoretical alternative to classic land use planning. Traditional zoning plans divide up an area into districts or specific land parcels and regulates what uses and activities are permitted in each of the divisions.
