Pre-Construction Real Estate Investing

If you've got the soul of a gambler or enjoy extreme sports and escapades such as skydiving or bungee jumping then chances are you'll be the best candidate for pre-construction real estate investing. Pre-construction revenue are sometimes one of the highest in the market. Having said that so are the dangers. You'll find the greatest highs and lows that may be observed in the market of real estate investing lie beneath the umbrella of pre-construction earnings and lots of the big names we all know so well in real estate investing industry have made much of their money through speculation and pre-construction sales.

Before we proceed any further, a word of caution should be spoken. Whilst the potential for earnings in this specific area of real estate sector are unconventionally outstanding the disadvantages are equally considerable. This is speculative real estate at its absolute best and as we have all discovered previously, when the bubble bursts in a particular market those that have the most invested are the ones who usually lose most heavily.

As far as what pre-construction  real estate is there are a couple of interpretations. The first is also the most evident. You are purchasing real estate at one point before construction is complete. In popular markets you will usually need to buy the units even before ground has broken on the project in an effort to get the lowest price for your investment and highest potential returns for your pockets. As soon as you've purchased the unit or units you intend to sell. You then begin seeking buyers for those units. In markets which are popular like some suburbs and big retirement and vacation cities it is not exactly unusual for a property to change possession and have several owners before the unit is complete. Each one will take a little something home from the table for their efforts with those that get in earliest usually taking the largest piece of the pie back with them.

You might be questioning why this happens and the reply really is simple. When the contractors try to get capital for their projects in these large complexes they usually need to have a particular share of the units “pre sold” in an effort to persuade the banks that there's satisfactory market and to get some of the income that is required to get the venture up and running, so to speak. So real estate investors purchase these units at very cheap prices since in essence they're paying for the concept of the unit (which hasn't at this point been constructed and is not yet permitted to be constructed in many cases) rather than a brick and mortar property. Because the project nears to completion, specifically in markets where real estate is in high demand, the worth of the property rises dramatically ending in ridiculous profits for investors who have managed to hold on.

The risks nevertheless are many. There are any variety of things that may go wrong on a project such as this not the least of which is that the need for housing will probably be met before the unit could be built. This has occurred and continues to happen. Also recessions, business closings, economies collapsing, and tragedies in the location can occur prior to the property is finished leaving everybody who has invested seriously in the project holding a little bit of the bag and failing to keep their income and, potentially, their investment. These projects typically take a great deal of time to finish which makes the pitfalls that much greater and the expectancy of those events a bit more difficult to map out in advance. If you can manage to make it through nevertheless many investors see in excess of a 100% yield on their investment making it a popular style of investment among many in spite of the fairly substantial pitfalls involved.
