Antilla:

A home worth more than one billion dollar; how’s that for expensiveness? Antilla is a 170 meter tall skyscraper that happens to be the home of Mukesh Ambani, valued at one billion dollars; it is currently the most expensive home in this world. You can estimate the size and grandness by the fact that its garage has a capacity of more than 160 cars. And in case it is out of space, visitors can use helicopters to arrive, as it has 3 helipads of its own. It’s interesting to know that Lakshmi Mitall, another Indian in the list of the richest men, owns the most expensive home in Britain. 

Fleur De Lys:

A property owned by Suzanne Saperstein, the house is on sale for some time now. With demanding price set at a staggering $ 125 million dollars and the owner seemingly not interested in reducing it anytime soon, it may remain on market for some more time. Spreading on more than 40,000 square feet of land, Fleur De Lys is known as the most expensive property in United Estates.

Villa La Leopolda:

Recently, the villa was sold at an astonishing price of 750 million dollars (making it arguably the most expensive deal in the history of home purchases). The deal doesn’t turn out well though, these days there’s some tussle going on in between the buyer and sellers. Irrespective of the end result (i.e. the deal take place or not), Villa La Leopolda is worth including in the list of most expensive homes. Located in a French town, it used to be a residence of Bill Gates at one point of time. No big deal for the Villa though, as it was built and occupied by King Leopold II of Belgium.

The real estate market tends to be cyclical with some periods favoring buyers and other periods favoring sellers. As with other free markets, the pricing and availability of real estate is directly related to the forces of supply and demand. While many real estate markets in the United States are experiencing a substantial slowdown, other markets remain robust, and some even continue to grow. What makes the situation even more complicated is that even within a particular city or county, there may be some areas that are hot and others that are cold.

In regions of the country in which the real estate market is slowing, there are some things homebuyers can do to increase their chance of getting the property that they want on terms that are favorable. Below are some strategies to consider:

1. Clarify What You Want. Be sure to understand what kind of property you want (e.g. bedrooms, bathrooms, size, yard, location, etc.). Identify items that you “must have” and items that you would be willing to forego if your other priorities were met.

2. Consult Experts. You’ve no doubt heard the saying that “all real estate is local,” so arm yourself with the best information available. Consult a local real estate expert who can guide you about what communities are hot and which ones are not. Obviously, you are more likely to find deals in communities that have excess supply and limited demand than vice versa.

3. Understand Market Data. Obtaining and evaluating data can be one of the most powerful tools in your arsenal. Identify communities that you find desirable and ask your real estate agent to provide you relevant sales statistics. For example, your agent can provide you:

a. A summary of how many properties are available in communities that you deem desirable.

b. How long properties are taking to sell this month, last month, last quarter, last year, etc.

c. How many properties have sold this month, last month, last quarter, last year, etc.

d. Changes in the median and average price of properties for a community this month, last month, last quarter, last year, etc.

e. Data on the sales price to list price ratio (SP: LP). This ratio provides information about how much, on average, sellers are reducing their price.

f. Detailed data on properties that are similar to the type of property you desire (often known as “comparables” or “comps”).

4. High Inventory Communities. Identify, or ask your agent to identify, communities that appear to be particularly slow, and that have an unusually large inventory of homes. You will have a broader variety of options in these communities, and you may increase the likelihood of finding a better deal.

5. Loan Pre-Approval. Be sure to consult with your bank or mortgage broker and obtain a loan pre-approval document. This not only let’s you know how much you can afford, but it also demonstrates to sellers that you are a serious buyer and that your offer is worthy of serious consideration.

6. Seller’s Motivation. While information about why a seller is selling is usually confidential, there are situations in which the seller will allow their agent to disclose important factors regarding their personal situation. Be sure to ask your agent to inquire about any information that the seller has disclosed to his/her agent that can be conveyed to your agent. This information may help you decide on making an offer on a property and the price you wish to offer.

7. Home Inspection. A home inspection conducted by a qualified inspector can provide you valuable information about the condition of a property. Moreover, if there are items that need repair or replacement, you can use this information to modify your offer price or terms.

8. Expand Search Scope. As mentioned above, even within a particular city or county, there may be some areas that are hot and others that are not. Be sure to provided detailed information about what you want to your agent, so that he/she can provide you a variety of community options.

9. Be Patient. Time is on your side when there is excess supply and insufficient demand. Try not to “fall in love” with a house so much that you cannot be objective. It may be that multiple offers and counter-offers occur before you either get the property you want or decide to walk way from a deal. You may also want to look at more properties than you normally would, so that you are exposed to a variety of options.

While the above is not an exhaustive list of strategies, it is a good starting point of issues to consider when buying real estate, particularly in a market that favors buyers. Obtain the services of a knowledgeable Real Estate agent who can provide you with additional strategies to help you reach your real estate objectives.

Real Estate Investing Tip #4. Mobility of management.

Deming once said “A system must be managed. It will not manage itself. Left to themselves in the Western world, components become selfish, competitive. We can not afford the destructive effect of competition.” Many new real estate investors are taken in by the idea that once they set up their real estate business, it will run itself. They want to be able to retire entirely very quickly and avoid putting in any more effort into their investment company. This is a problem.

For your real estate business to flourish and grow, you must manage your power team and your deals. You must be responsible for your company’s success and you must occasionally innovate or change your methods around if you want to respond to the market and continue to grow in your business.

Real Estate Investing Tip #5. Running a company on visible figures alone.

Again, Deming was a believer in the intangible rewards of business. If you are running your company on yourself alone, you will not have a great chance at success. To succeed, you must have an invisible power team behind you. Your buyers might not see the contractors, assessors, and attorneys, but these invisible figures are exactly what will help you offer the best possible value to your customers.

Real Estate Investing Tip #6. Excessive costs.

Spending a fortune on marketing, useless information, unusable services and extras you don’t need is a real danger in any type of business – especially when you are starting out learning how to become a real estate investor. Yes, you need some knowledge or education in order to learn what to do and you cannot scrimp on hiring a power team who will help you put together winning deals. However, avoid buying toys until you start raking in money.

At the start, re-invest the money you make in order to grow your real estate investing business – you will achieve success much faster this way.

Deming also defined some lesser obstacles that affected businesses. These same roadblocks may be keeping you from the success you deserve in your real estate investing business:

Real Estate Investing Tip #7. Neglecting long-range investing business planning.

Sure, you may be focusing on the house you want to sell right now, but you must be thinking ahead 5, 10 and even 15 years so that you can start laying the foundation work for the sort of investing business you want to become in the future.

Real Estate Investing Tip #8. Relying on technology to solve problems.

A fancy website will not solve anything if you do not have the content or traffic to generate real estate deals through the site. A new cell phone will not solve your problem if not enough leads are calling. Focus on solving the root of the problem, rather than looking for the newest gadget.

Real Estate Investing Tip #9. Seeking examples to follow rather than developing solutions.

Real estate mentoring is a wonderful thing, but truly successful businesses eventually strike out on their own, offering something innovative or new – or just a twist on something that already exists.

Real Estate Investing Tip #10. Excuses.

You cannot assume that you won’t succeed in real estate investing and you cannot make excuses for any failures. Take responsibility, learn, and step up to the next opportunity!

William Edwards Deming, the father of productivity, may not seem to have much to do with providing real estate investing tips. After all, Deming had nothing to do with real estate investing at all – he was the mastermind in turning around the Japanese economy after World War I.

However, Deming’s Deadly Diseases outline what so often goes wrong in many businesses, and as such, we’ve enjoyed adapting 10 anecdotes and turning them into what we believe Deming would have provided as the “Top 10 Real Estate Investing Tips” Investor’s should heed while learning how to build a real estate investment business:

Real Estate Investing Tip #1. Lack of constancy of purpose.

Deming once said “A system is a network of interdependent components that work together to try to accomplish the aim of the system. A system must have an aim. Without an aim, there is no system. The aim of the system must be clear to everyone in the system. The aim must include plans for the future.” Without definitive plans, your real estate business has no system and you can hope for, at best, a haphazard approach to deals and profits – not exactly the best way to ensure future success.

Real Estate Investing Tip #2.

Emphasis on short-term profits. Sure, when it comes to real estate investing, the idea is that you get money into your pocket sooner rather than later. However, when formulating your business plan, you should be thinking long-term profits. That may mean setting up deals for the future and having a solid real estate investing business plan that ensures another group of deals soon.

Real Estate Investing Tip #3. Evaluation by performance.

If you evaluate your potential real estate deals only by performance potential, you are missing out on the potential to make your fortune. Deming strongly believed that a big part of success was intangible and that’s why he felt that businesses who cut costs to become more cost-effective ultimately failed. The companies that Deming helped turn around did not focus just on the bottom line and on performance, but on rather intangible elements such as value, quality, and customer happiness.

If you consider profitability in your real estate investing deals but also start taking into consideration what you can offer your client base, and what you can do that other real estate investors are not doing, you will be amazed at how quickly your investing business will grow. Try to make an impact and try to help others in your real estate dealings. Deming’s work shows that small, incremental improvements and a focus on quality gets more done than simple money counting.
