Real estate investing involves the purchase, ownership, management, rental and/or sale of real estate for profit. Improvement of realty property as part of a real estate investment strategy is generally considered to be a sub-specialty of real estate investing called real estate development. Real estate is an asset form with limited liquidity relative to other investments, it is also capital intensive (although capital may be gained through mortgage leverage) and is highly cash flow dependent. If these factors are not well understood and managed by the investor, real estate becomes a risky investment. The primary cause of investment failure for real estate is that the investor goes into negative cash flow for a period of time that is not sustainable, often forcing them to resell the property at a loss or go into insolvency.

What is the best way to protect your assets in residential real estate investing?
Q. I am considering real estate investing and need to know the best way to protect myself. i.e., land trust, LLC, ???

A. Yes, incorporating may be helpful as per the rule in Foss v. Harbottle BUT there are a variety of remedies available to prevent what might be considered a fraudulent conveyance. The person to speak to here is an accountant, who can tell you based on the amt and purpose of your investment how to set up the transaction to get maximum bang for your buck. S/he'll no doubt recommend atty as required. The good news: accts are nicer than attys, far cheaper and frequently hugely more useful when it comes to financial information.

A. Do your homework. Value of real estate is dropping faster than it's ever had since the great depression. Until you are confident that real estate has hit rock bottom, I would not invest in it. I have invested in real estate, and the value of my portfolio is really plummetting. Even though real estate is a steal right now, and I am in the business, I would not buy at this time. Tread slowly, and look both ways

A. Buy a duplex, live in half of it and rent out the other half and let them pay for your mortgage for you. Once you've built some equity in the property, borrow against it to purchase another property and move in there and rent out the other half of the duplex to help cover the cost of your next mortgage.
