Thanks for the advice. The great thing about real estate is that they stopped making it a while ago...unless you live near an active volcano, perhaps, or the sea is receding.

Determining Solution Costs
Thanks for reading and commenting.
I think all of us have witnessed companies being sold solutions that don't match problems and such. It's sad and true.
I'd like to think experience pays in these situations and I've learned that experience can often get voted down if not out in certain situations.
Again, thanks for reading and commenting. - Joseph ...

Important Advice for Investing in Real Estate Property


When investing in real estate, they say that the three most important things to consider are "location, location and location and location.This is the problem" That's because the location will determine the value of the property. If your chosen property is in a prime location in the city, you can expect the price of the property will be much higher compared to buying properties from another area, far from the city or town. If you're seriously considering investing in real estate properties, you'll need the following:
1. Investment capital or a legitimate means of acquiring it.
2. An adequate knowledge of both the real estate market and the neighborhood in which you're planning to buy your property.
3. Good management abilities and above-average negotiation skills in order to get the property you want at a price you can afford.
4. The ability to do repairs on the property, or to hire others to do them for you. Remember that if you have a reputable agent, you'll save a lot of money on your investment.While you may not always be able to find, evaluate and buy inexpensive homes that are either in foreclosure or "fix-uppers" that can be around quickly, you can still become a landlord for the property as it increases in value. But be very careful to whom you rent, because you have to make sure that your property is well maintained. That?s when you find a good agent to assist you reaping more profits.Since investing means spending money in order to make more money, you'll need capital. This is one reason why many people venture into real estate after they have saved a sizable amount of money, usually starting by selling their current home and then buying a buy a smaller place for themselves plus another investment property with the help of a reputable real estate agent.As mentioned above, location is an important factor in buying real estate, so make sure that you do your research first. Check out the area's schools, libraries, businesses and public amenities, attend city council meetings and surf the Internet.

Determining Solution Costs
So often in business and marketing we find a problem then go off chasing a solution that simply isn't relevant! So, yes, determine the exact nature of what needs solving before investing in an expensive "solution" that isn't going to solve anything for you!
