Real estate investing can be a very rewarding venture.  If you are just getting started, you’ve probably heard about those folks who find a house, buy it, live in it, fix it up, then sell it for tons of profit.

It can and does happen, however, most of the time people will find themselves in a situation of loss if they are not careful.  Before you consider living in & fixing a home for market take a few suggestions to heart:

1. Measure your equity against the cost of living and repair.  Not including the amount of time you are going to live there.  Maintenance can be costly in some situations.
2. Understand that your home will be a show place at all times.  A ‘lived’ in house does not sell very well.
3. Do major repairs and/or upgrades before moving in.  This will eliminate any conflicts that could arise around your living space.
4. Price the work vs. doing it yourself.  Although you may be handy, if the work is not done to par, it could reflect the nature of the home and a sharp potential buyer will baulk.

Real estate investing can create massive wealth in a short time.  Just do your homework, find a good deal, and be patient.
