Mark’s Tips for Beginning Investors:

• Single-Family Residential
  • SFR properties are relatively stable, secure markets for those looking to begin real estate investing
  • Florida has many strong SFR markets:
    • Tampa, St. Petersburg, Jacksonville, Orlando
• Investment Strategies
  • Tailor strategy to investment type:
    • Fix-and-flip, wholesales, holds
  • Invest based on yield as opposed to price and valuation
    • Yield is generally higher in complicated markets i.e. low-income housing
  • Choose a market and apply strategies that suit that market, don’t cherry-pick strategies from other real estate markets
  • Cast a wide net to find deals
    • Brokers, letters, bandit signs, banks, etc.
  • Never lose confidence in your deal!

Winter is coming… And so are national interest rate increases.

The Federal Reserve has recently announced a new national interest rate hike, the first since 2006. Real estate investors are very anxious about the announced rate hike. Many investors are wary that the rate hike may be instituted prematurely in an economy that is not capable of facilitating the effects on real estate markets.

Mark Fleming, Ph. D. serves as the Chief Economist for First American Financial Corporation. With over 20 years’ experience in mortgage and property information, Mark analyzes and forecasts national mortgage and real estate markets. This episode, Mark lends his expertise to our discussion on the new rate hike‘s effect on current real estate markets at a national level, and tells us why investors shouldn’t be so worried.
