Real Estate investing has long been proven to make tons of CA$H for
the active investor and many of the real estate investing methods and
techniques used to make some of the biggest (and quickest) CA$H only
require a little time and a bit of knowledge (i.e., NO MONEY and NO
CREDIT!) to rapidly bring home a really big check!

That’s the appeal of Real Estate investing courses to most people –
to do deals that require little/no money or credit yet pay back huge
rewards for the time and knowledge you get from following their systems.

Yes, the “investing” gets a bit lost in most of the world of “Real
Estate Investing” - there is no “investing” other than a bit of time -
there is no ROI (Return On Investment) other than the time-for-money
factor.

That’s why I call these activities Real Estate Investing Jobs -they stop bringing income as soon as you stop working them.

Real Estate Investing through these jobs, while making CA$H, will
never give you financial freedom as they only generate quick money and
not long-term, passive income.

This article will look at some of the more popular methods of Real Estate Investing jobs.

One of the biggest challenges to overcome is the fact that, when
discussing the money made through Real Estate Investing, the numbers of
dollars are much more than your common corporate job, and many people
simply are not ready to handle such discussions.

You see, when you were very young, you were programmed to think that
$X was a large amount and often this amount was only a few hundred, or
perhaps, a few thousand, dollars.

Yet, when discussing Real estate investing deals, there are often multiple thousands of dollars at stake.

Most people simply are not used to discussing such numbers, and wind
up not making the money they could. They simply have not learned the
language of Real Estate Investing.

One of the first lessons I teach my students is how to get past the
fear of discussing hundreds of thousands of dollars and changing the
programming you were given as a child to form open ideas about money
and investing to make even more money.

One quick step you can do to begin this journey is to look deep
inside yourself and ask yourself how you feel about money. Can you
comfortably discuss figures in the hundreds of thousands of dollars?

Most people learn quite quickly - with just a little bit of practice.

With that in mind, it is time to look at these Real Estate Investing Jobs more closely.

These ‘jobs’ bring you various levels of income, depending on your
area, so instead of discussing them in dollar values, we will look at
them from a percentage standpoint.

Of course, with these examples, the amount of work, time and knowledge you put into it will certainly pay off more (or less);

1. Property Profiling (birddogging) - this popular
way to get started in real estate investing provides a real estate
investing job with a decent income - something along the lines of what
a factory worker would make in the area.

2. Lease Purchase - this powerful tool can be
utilized to buy and sell property with no money out of your pocket (a
Real Estate Investing sandwich), while keeping a nice pocketful of
money for your time (can you tell this is one of my favorites?) An
active person can make about 1.5 - 3 times more than the Property
Profiler, on average.

3. Subject To - with a bit of training, you can
make this method of real estate investing really pay off big. Once you
know how to negotiate these deals, your real estate investing income
will reach that of corporate executives - with much less of a time
requirement.

4. Foreclosures - while highly lucrative and one of
the top income producing methods of real estate investing, the time and
knowledge required to actively pursue such deals is becoming more
difficult all the time.

The payoff to those that can perform these deals is huge - about 10
times that of the Property Profilers, however, finding deals is much
more difficult due to the number of people looking for them.

5. Tax Lien Certificates - this is a true form of
Real Estate Investing - actually putting your money into something that
produces a return - one of the safest investments around with returns
that beat any other form of passive investing. If you have money to
invest, this is a great area to get into with 15%+ return with almost
no down side.

This is still a real estate investing ‘job’ as tax lien certificates
are short term, quick turn profit generators, not sustained over time.

6. Short Sales - this form of Real Estate Investing
is another job, as your knowledge level and timing are extremely
important. A lot of money can be made with this type of Real Estate
Investing job - as much or more than any other form - once you know how.

7. Secondary notes/Purchasing Equity positions - a
‘higher level’ of real estate investing, where more knowledge is needed
to limit the risk, however, the returns on equity position purchases
can be extremely high - from 6%-10% for fully passive results and
’sky’s the limit’ for purchasing equity positions.

Yes, once you get past the internal false programming - the LIES you
have been taught all your life about money, you can begin a successful
career in Real Estate Investing - through a variety of Real Estate
Investing Jobs and then onto true, full, watch-your-money-grow Real
Estate Investing.
