Investment properties seem to be hot topics these days. Every night you can tune into the latest infomercial showing you how to make millions with “No Money Down”. I have purchased these programs and studied the industry and I am here to tell you that it DOES work, but NOT the way they tell you to do it. As the Owner and Founder of Venture Investments, I believe that there is a right way and a wrong way to Invest. I show people the RIGHT way.

Here is my story on how I got started…

I invested in my first Investment Property in 1999 in Charlotte, NC. My goal was to pay for my child’s college education with one house. I was a finance major in college while working on my MBA. I became interested in Investments after speaking with a lady who had moved a home that was scheduled to be demolished because of a new road being built. She paid movers to move the home onto land that she bought nearby. After all was said and done, the home appraised for over $200k and she has less than $150k invested. I WAS HOOKED. I researched the process and bought my first Investment Property the next month. I had No Money, and had to use a bridge loan for a down payment. I bought the house for $65k and it immediately appraised for 98K. I then refinanced the home for $78k and took out $13k and pain my student loans off. I got a 15 year loan on the property at 7.5%. This is how the numbers worked:

Purchase price $65,000

Loan Amount $78,000

Appraised Value $98,000

Interest Rate $7.5%

Term 15 years

Payment $723/month

Taxes and Insurance $150/month (Total Payment $873/month)

Rental Rate 1998 rental rate $1000/month 2006 Rental Rate $1200/month

I sold this property last year for $111,000. If I would have kept it, it would have been paid for in 7 more years. That is how you pay for College with one property. I had no personal money invested and over a 15 year period, it is paid for. The house when sold should be worth enough to pay for college for one or maybe two children.
