Finding Below Market Value Property
The property investment market is currently in a challenging environment. It’s hard to obtain a mortgage at the moment unless you have a huge deposit. The only way to stay in the game is to source and buy below market value property.
Depending on the property and the seller it’s possible to buy property up to 30 below market value. There are below market value properties available all over the country the only problem is finding them.
There are three main ways of sourcing these properties. You can go to an auction find sellers yourself or use a specialist company that deals in below market value property.
Sellers usually choose to sell their properties below market value because they need to sell quickly. This could be due to the threat of repossession bankruptcy or other financial problems.
Auctions are ideal places for motivated sellers who need to sell quickly due to financial pressure. The seller sets a reserve and if it is met or exceeded the house is sold. It generally takes no time at all to complete and there is no pulling out or negotiation involved.
If you hate the thought of bidding and competing at an auction you can simply wait until the end and check out the properties that did not sell. You face little or no competition and can buy at the sale price.
You can also use specialist companies to source below market value properties. They negotiate the price and manage the sale from beginning to end. As well as this they also make sure you have a tenant and in some cases guarantee the rent for a period of time.
Below market value properties are ideal investments if you are looking for good returns. You can either let them or refurbish and flip the property for a decent profit.
