Common mistakes investors do in real estate investments February 3, 2015 Tips and Guides 19 Comments Real Estate investment seems tempting especially in the cities where the prices rise very fast with the simultaneous growth of infrastructure and industry. There are stories to be heard that many people have made a ransom by speculation and buying a property that was cheap and selling it at a very high price. There may be other rags to riches stories in the real estate domain which propels one to invest as well. Investment without the knowledge of the crux of the game may put one into losses. Like every industry real estate also has few axioms. Nevertheless it’s not like the stock or the capital market. People having a tendency of making quick gains are often seen to loose. This is precisely the reason we are collating the opinions of real estate market watchers and experts who has noticed the common mistakes that investors commit while investing in real estate. Ignoring Transaction Costs : In case of real estate, the investors use the borrowed mortgage money and the amount of transaction cost can at times equal or even exceed the entire amount of the down payment. This creates a big new-car-used-car effect. An example will make it clear. When a new car is bought and is driven off the lot, it inevitably becomes a used car and thus the resale value drops immediately and dramatically. A similar effect is created in the net worth of the property when one buys a real estate property. If one has to resale the property immediately after a short while he or she would suffer a huge loss as a result of transaction costs of buying and selling the property. Lack of Research : If you have bought a car, a television set or a refrigerator you must have gone to different shops and dealers to compare different models and have also made sure that what you are purchasing is worth the money. Then the due diligence that should go to the purchase of a house or a property should be more rigorous. The enquiries for each type of user needs like that of a personal home owner, a home flipper or a land developer or a future home owner is different. The prospective home buyer should ask lot of questions about the home and should also enquire about the area and the neighbourhood in which it is located. Getting Lousy Financing : Most of the home buyers select a time of buying home according to their stages of life and finances, enquiring little about the market. Many are seen to take loan from the banks for constructing or buying home when the interests rise. The home buyers should be careful about the market rate of interest and should enquire thoroughly before borrowing money. Not only that, there are fixed and floating rates of interest as well. Fixed rates mean that irrespective of the market rate whether it is high or low, the borrower has to pay a fixed rate of interest. Floating rate means the borrower has to pay the current market rates of interest prevailing in the market. Lack of a Proper Plan : The veteran real estate experts and the market watchers feel that most of the investors do not have a plan or a strategy which is the biggest mistake the investors commit. They buy a house or a property because they think it’s a good deal and then start thinking what to do with it. The experienced and successful investors feel that plan is something that is first of all necessary and then the house to fit the plan. Expecting to be Rich Quickly : Another mistake is thinking one would get rich quickly and hence the investment, is another big mistake. This kind of psychology the experts feel, urges one to take hasty decisions and makes one bereft of the patience required for the pursuit. One should take real estate as a good long term investment and not a short one like a mutual fund investment. Bottom Line : The bottom line that emerges is that investing is real estate should not be done in haste and being tempted with the offer or with an intention of getting rich quickly. Anyway the problems of the investors can be avoided if one takes a decision with proper prior research or due diligence and a proper plan with the right information about the market and the finances. 19 Responses Venkatesh June 6, 2016 While investing your hard earned money you want to planned otherwise you may fall in problems.If you are giving your money to the builder you want to check the documents and approvals.Don’t trust them blindly and invest your money.
