Any news report will alert you to the fact the home foreclosures are on the rise. If you have untapped funds just sitting in your Self-Directed IRA LLC account, now is a great time to invest in foreclosures. Following are three reasons why.
3 Reasons to Invest in the Home Foreclosure Market Now
Prices are Low Now: Every real estate investor will tell you that to make money investing in foreclosures, you need to find good deals. What is defined as a “good deal?” A simplistic answer is a good deal is one where you make money. Making money in real estate is all about equity; buying homes that have equity.
Presently, the market is being swamped with all kinds of properties that have lots of equity. Why? Two primary reasons can be cited. One, the economy is in a recession, which means many are losing their job. And two, Adjustable Rate Mortgages (ARMs) are coming due, which means mortgage payments are going up. Job loss plus higher mortgage payments means more homeowners are willing to negotiate, that is, if they haven’t already been foreclosed on.
Banks Are Not Set Up to Be Landlords: Banks don’t want to own homes. They want the money from the mortgage. Right now, banks are being overrun with properties and they are trying desperately to unload them as fast as they can.
Why don’t banks want to be landlords. Quite frankly, because it costs them in two ways. To explain, when banks take over a property, they in essence become the homeowner. This means they have to cut the grass, make repairs made by vandals, winterize it, etc. They pay companies to do all of this. Secondly, no one is paying the mortgage, so they’re losing that income. Monies sitting in your Self-Directed IRA LLC account could easily be put to work to help you reap the rewards down the line.
Long-Term Gain: Using your Self-Directed IRA LLC / Checkbook IRA account funds to purchase foreclosures now will pay off in the long run. Especially if you buy and hold properties. Real estate is a cyclical market. Meaning, what goes down will eventually go up again. When the market starts to sizzle again, you’ll be perfectly situated to take advantage of the smart investments you make now.
