A huge part of success for most people includes both reaching certain financial goals and owning a home or other sort of residence.
By the very nature of it all, those two things often work against each other. If you want to save money, you can’t exactly spend a ton of what you have on a home. And if you want to buy a home, you normally have to part with a significant chunk of your cash.
But for the average real estate investor or homebuyer, there are 2 reasons why you could get a big discount that could save you thousands and thousands of dollars, and could make your financial and real estate goals possible. So what should you be looking for?
Because of the high price of real estate in general, any sort of discount you can get would likely save you thousands to begin with. But I’m interested in the BIG discounts…
I want you to be able to get the type of discount that will change the way you look at a piece of real estate.
How?
By consciously seeking out these 2 situations…
A huge discount often accompanies a situation where a seller doesn’t want the sale of his or her property advertised.
Their want for privacy could be for any number of legitimate reasons…
- The seller is in financial trouble,
- The seller is going through personal issues, such as divorce,
- The seller is very shy, etc.
Whatever the case may be, that person doesn’t want ‘For Sale’ signs in the yard, open houses on the weekend, or balloons on the mailbox. They want to discreetly get out of their home.
If you can offer them privacy and ease of sale, it could come with a hefty discount.
If you do your homework of an area and know values, speed can give you an advantage.
The situation often pops up where a seller needs to get out of a property quickly…
The seller may have just gotten a new job and needs to relocate now, or a divorce may be causing a necessity for speed. Either way, providing that benefit could net you a big discount.
Like I said, a speed discount often comes to those who know values in an area in which they want to buy, and this could be you with a little homework…
