From Long Term Investments To Fix And Flip
Local real estate investor groups come in many different varieties. Some people are lifelong investors, and own houses, apartments, and office buildings from which they collect a steady stream of revenue. This buy and hold type of investing can be very lucrative in the long run, though it is high on capital expense upfront. Some real estate investors are in the Fix-and-Flip business, buying properties, remodeling them, and selling them for large one-time gains. Some investors choose to purchase properties on the cheap and sell them at a premium, profiting on the difference. Real Estate Investment Trusts have also become a popular method for investing in real estate. Regardless of the type of investment, more people and companies are investing in real estate. Jones Lang LaSalle (JLL), a commercial real estate company, predicts massive global real estate investment in 2017.
Asset Based Lending Is Faster And Easier
In addition to the cost of lost time, the traditional mortgage also involves an intrusive credit review, with often difficult to meet standards. The financial crisis of 2008 dried up a lot of the liquidity in the financial market, and the requirements for borrowing money became far more stringent. Whether or not this has been a good thing, stabilizing the residential home loan market may be debated, but it has negatively impacted the commercial real estate borrower. Small companies and real estate investors often do not have the net worth, credit scores, or cash flow to qualify for a traditional mortgage loan from a bank or mortgage company.

Steve Brown, Real Estate Editor of The Dallas Morning News, on February 6, 2017, in a story titled “Dallas on the rise as one of world’s top property investment markets,” posted on that publication’s website that:
JLL predicts that global investment volumes will total almost $700 billion in real estate in 2017.
“New capital targeting real estate is only part of the story; experienced real estate investors are also allocating more money to direct real estate opportunities,” David Green-Morgan, JLL’s global capital markets research director, said in the report. “As these groups tend to be well-versed in allocating capital, they are able to direct large sums of money into the sector relatively quickly.”
Chinese investors were the top foreign buyers of U.S. real estate last year, JLL said.
