Once you’ve made the decision to buy Las Vegas rental property as an investment, your real work begins. Finding a profitable Las Vegas rental property usually takes time, connections and plenty of research.

Here’s what you need to know to get started:

Know your time horizon

As with any investment, you should have a good idea how long you plan to own your Las Vegas rental property before you buy it.

The longer you plan to own the Las Vegas property, the more you’ll probably need to invest in maintenance, repairs and improvements.

If you’re keeping it for 25 years, at some point you’re going to be putting a new roof on that property. You’re going to be putting in new appliances and doing some major repairs. If you’re only planning to own a Las Vegas property for five years, by contrast, you’ll probably want to avoid making any major improvements unless you’re sure you can recoup the cost with a higher sale price.

You also may face more investment risk with a shorter time horizon. Although your Las Vegas rental will almost certainly appreciate over 20 years, it could easily lose value in the next five, particularly if you’re buying in an overheated market. You’ll need a bigger potential annual return to make up for that risk.

For many small investors, long-term ownership makes the most senseYou’ll have plenty of time to ride out any swings in the market, and rental income can make a nice supplement to your day job. Find enough Las Vegas rental properties, and being a landlord may become your day job.

Develop a network

Experienced landlords find their properties in a variety of ways. Some hunt for foreclosures, making friends with city hall clerks or bank employees who know which properties are about to be sold. Some run ads in local newspapers. Others work with real estate agents who keep their eyes peeled for possible buys.

Several Las Vegas landlords recommended joining a local landlord or property owner’s association to make contacts.

Through investor meetings, networking, etc., I can find out what is for sale.”

You also can try approaching landlords directly to see if they’re willing to sell, by calling the numbers listed on rental ads in the classifieds, by cruising neighborhoods looking for “for rent” signs or by talking to any landlords you know personally.

Get your finances in shape

The better your credit, and the less credit card and other consumer debt you have, the better your prospects for getting a decent loan. Lenders usually require bigger down payments, higher interest rates and generally stronger finances when you’re buying rental property. That’s because they know people are more likely to default on investment property than they are on their own homes.

While rental income can supplement your retirement kitty, most people shouldn’t count on it to replace other investments or allow themselves to be entirely exposed to the whims of the local real estate market. Rents and property values can fall as well as rise, and those who are adequately diversified with investments in stocks, bonds and cash will be better able to endure the bad times as well as the good.

Avoid overpaying

As one experienced landlord put it: “You make your profit when you buy a property, not when you sell it.” Pay too much, and you’ll never recoup as much as you could have had you driven a better bargain.

The rental real estate market is generally tougher on investors who overpay than on homeowners who do the same thing, several landlords said. While a home is often an emotional purchase, which can lead to “I must have it!” offers and bidding wars, most landlords look strictly at the numbers to see if their investments will pay off. If you pay too much for a rental, you can’t count on a “greater fool” coming along later to bail you out.

Not overpaying can be tough in a hot market, however. Apartments in New York, for example, currently sell at a 60% premium over their “inherent” value. In other words, they’re selling for much more than the income streams the apartments generate, according to Reis, a national real estate research firm. In San Francisco and Los Angeles, the premium is 10%.

Some landlords use formulas, such as not paying more than six to eight times the rents they expect to make the first year. Others try to estimate what the property could be worth after needed repairs and upgrades are made, and they don’t pay more than 70% of that price, less the cost of those repairs, CPA Berning said.

Every real estate market is different, however, and these formulas may not work in your area.

What’s key is to make sure your rental income will cover your out-of-pocket costs. That includes the mortgage payment on the property, as well as taxes, insurance, maintenance, repairs and a vacancy rate of around 5%. (If you have five units, for example, you should expect at least one unit to be empty three months each year. Here’s the math: 5 units times 12 months equals 60; 60 times .05 is 3.)

If you can at least break even, you’ll be able to profit from any price appreciation as well as from tax breaks available to rental property.

When crunching the numbers, you should know that there’s a big difference in how repairs and improvements are treated for tax purposes. You can typically deduct the cost of a repair, such as patching a roof or fixing a leaking pipe, on your tax return for the year in which the repair is made.

Replace that roof or those pipes, however, and it’s typically considered an improvement, which means the cost can’t be deducted. Instead, it’s added to the amount you paid for the property to determine your tax basis when you sell. The higher the basis, the lower your taxable profit.

To better estimate your costs, get a thorough inspection before you buy a property. Some landlords have favorite electricians, plumbers and contractors that they send to any prospective property, promising them that they can do any repair work they find. Others use professional inspectors they trust.

Longtime Las Vegas landlords say all this work pays off in profitable properties that build their net worth while providing a steady income stream.

It doesn’t matter if you’re a professional or a laborer. Las Vegas Investment Property is an equal-opportunity wealth builder.”

Real Estate is a long term investment with great potential rewards. We have some common sense real estate rules for any real estate investor to follow, especially true for buyers of income properties:

Have A Plan – Purchasing a property is not enough; a real estate investor needs to have a plan that deals with how the investment will work, in terms of cash invested, cash flow, management and holding time.

Cash Is King – Many real estate investors think that buying properties with minimal cash is the best way; that is not necessarily true. Also, extra cash will be needed for the inspections, appraisal, closing costs and maintenance required with the purchase of an investment property

Hire A Professional! Trying to find the best investment properties on your own is a difficult task. Many good properties are not “on the market,” and only a professional Real Estate Investor can find those. Negotiating on your own behalf will cost you money! Hire a Real Estate Broker who works with a network of professionals (lenders, inspectors, attorneys, contractors, etc.) who will help to ensure your successful purchase.

Featured Quotes: 

“Landlords grow rich in their sleep.”
-John Stuart Mill

“You simply adapt your strategy and techniques to whatever new market conditions are emerging.  Savvy real estate investors ignore the media chatter about bubbles and peaks, hard times, and depressed markets.  Intstead, they work the available opportunities–no matter what type of market they face.”
-Gary W. Eldred

A Few Quick Hints

• Allow a property manager to run your properties. It will take a cut of your profits, but frees you up and you don’t have to worry about day to day issues. Better management practices often result in higher occupancy. Think entrepreneurial, not managerial.
• Avoid books, videos and seminars that promise millions and require a large payment up front before giving you basic information. The real-estate industry is filled with “get rich quick” cons who want to sign you up for expensive course that are little more than scams.

In spite of all of these so called “predictions”, I continue to build wealth with my investment properties and save a lot of money on my taxes each year…

If you want to succeed, find someone who is already doing it and model them. You don’t need to re-invent the wheel because the wealth-building system that I follow is a proven, tried and true investment-property strategy that WORKS!

The Benefits Of Investing In Las Vegas Real Estate

With all of the mixed-media messages surrounding us these days, it’s confusing for people to know where to invest their money (be it stocks, bonds, a 401K or real estate).

In my experience there’s no better way to save a bundle on your taxes (while simultaneously building your wealth) than through investing in real estate…

Here’s why…

• Huge Tax Benefits – Properties typically appreciate while the IRS allows you to write your properties off as depreciating.

  (This one benefit alone allows me to write off thousands every year!)

• Using “Good Debt” to Build Wealth – “Good Debt” is debt that makes you money where as “bad debt” does not, it just makes your further in debt… The benefit of “good debt” is LEVERAGE because you don’t need to have a lot of money to get started – you can start with the equity from your home.
• A Balanced Investment Portfolio - You’ve heard the expression, “don’t put all your eggs in one basket”, well the same applies to investing. By investing in real estate (in addition to other investments such as your IRA, 401K, stocks and bonds) you will have a stronger and more stable investment portfolio…
• A Personal Retirement Plan – Can we even count on Social Security as a retirement option any more? When managed correctly, investment properties are a very good potential source of passive income for when you retire.
• Deferment of Capital Gains Tax - When you sell an investment property, if you made more money than you bought it for,  that’s called your “Capital Gains” and Uncle Sam will tax you on that gain. However, the government allows you to transfer that gain into another “like kind” property by using a 1031 tax exchange. This allows you to bypass taxation by deferring the financial gain into your next investment.
• Instant Equity -  It’s possible to find investment properties that are $5k, $10k, $15k (or more) below market value. When an investor buys properties like this, he or she can instantly use the equity from this for additional buying leverage.
• Long Term Growth – My method for real estate investing is about buying and holding properties for the future because I know that their value will almost invariably continue to increase!

Don’t Listen To Anyone That Tells You -
You Can’t Succeed By Investing In Real Estate!

Maybe you’ve seen the late-night TV infomercials on “How to Get Rich Quick by Investing in Real Estate” and thought to yourself, “Is this stuff for real?”. In my opinion, most of these campaigns are just designed to sell you a bunch of expensive information – rather than real world investment properties.

The key to winning at the “game of real estate investing” is to surround yourself with positive, forward-thinking people who are already doing it themselves. People who will support your vision for building wealth – and “coach you” to succeed.

You and I have a responsibility to prepare for our retirement by making our money work for us – and buying investment property is one of the most effective, long-term, tried and true ways to do this (provided you make wise investment decisions and manage them properly).

My job is helping  you – to successfully find, purchase, and maintain high-quality, “wealth-building” investment properties – making sure that we carefully evaluate your financial needs first, so that the next investment you make – makes sense for you!

Will You Be Ready For Retirement?

Our “buy and hold” approach to investing in real estate is a powerful way to prepare for your retirement – that some believe is even more effective than investing in a 401K (because of the strong appreciation rate and the tax benefits) – and this is well worth considering - given the the state of social security in America today.

In my opinion, buying investment property (if done intelligently) will strengthen your nest-egg for when you reach the golden years – and create a legacy for you and your family that can be passed on.

By strategically reducing the mortgages on your properties over time, the rental cash flow that they produce can be transformed into passive income that you can use for your retirement.

Let Me Do The Hard Part For You

Rather than having to figure everything out yourself – the researching, calculating, calling developers, and trying to find a “good deal” – why not let me do all that for you? After all – it’s what I LOVE to do anyway, so why not let me make it easy for you?

You’ll benefit from the strong relationships I have with the different real estate developers throughout the country because I’m allowed to carefully examine each and every investment opportunity on your behalf.

Count on me to meticulously study them for their financial investment potential – so that you can be sure that I’ll provide you with only the best investment-opportunities to add to your portfolio.

Now, rather than wondering or worrying about where to invest next – Let me do all of the tedious research and for you – so that you can relax and know that you are investing in high-quality properties that far more likely to continue appreciating.

You Don’t Have To Be Rich To Invest In Real Estate

Some people think that they can only invest if they’re rich or when they have a lot of extra money saved up, but nothing could be farther from the truth! All you need is some existing equity to get started, and I’ll walk you through the entire process – from finding, to financing, and following through with the purchase of your next investment property!

At the end of the day, it’s all about “the numbers” so no matter what your financial situation is, I will work with you and your lender to position you so that you can increase your wealth by investing in real estate.

Don’t wait for “some day” (when everything is “just right”) – because if you do – you won’t ever succeed. The people who win in this game are those who take action!

Important Financial Warning!

According to the Social Security Administration, if you follow any 100 people at the start of their careers, for 40 years until they reach retirement age, here’s what you will find…

Only 1 will be wealthy – 4 will be financially secure – 5 will continue to work (not because they want to but because they have to) 36 will be dead – and 54 will be dead broke – dependant on their meager Social Security checks, relatives, friends, even charity for a minimum standard of living. That’s 5% Successful, 95% Unsuccessful.

In other words…

There is a 54% chance that YOU will be DEAD-BROKE by retirement age! It’s a cold, hard fact that over half of the people reading this message right now will be living at or below the poverty level by the age of 65.

Don’t let this happen to you – be prepared for your retirement years so you can live with dignity and leave a legacy for your family.
