It's time for you to secure your financial future. With this book, professional property investor and coach Tunde Akande provides knowledge, tips, definitions, and everything else you need to know about the inner workings of the property investment business. Because single-family dwellings are relatively easy to purchase and then, if necessary, turn around, most people begin real estate investing in the area of residential property.. Some stick to that path, while others venture out into commercial real estate, duplexes, apartment complexes, and land development. What you will learn in Your Turn to Profit from Property Investing here is how to become your own detective. You will learn what to look for, how to research, and how to negotiate. Most important, you will learn what to avoid like the plague! You will learn what fun it is to find a diamond in the rough and have the privilege of adding a little tender loving care to those properties, not only to add value to a neighborhood, but also to provide a home for a family out of what was previously just a local eyesore. You will also learn what is considered to be a calculated risk and what is a foolish, too-good-to-be-true risk. Unfortunately, overeager beginners who are anxious to make a killing and have not yet been taught correctly often take unnecessary, foolish risks. But you don't need to add your name to that list of unfortunate folk! Not with this book, full of details and sophisticated guidance, examples, and experience. Investing in real estate is truly worth your time and attention. It will never be a passing fad type of business. People have been buying and selling property for hundreds of years and will continue to do so for many years to come. It is a steady, solid business. However, it demands awareness, knowledge, common sense, and a great deal of plain old hard work. So please jump in. Inside you'll find all the pros and cons of real estate investing plus the information you need to get started.
