WHY NOT PROPERTY SCOUTING?

Many people are scared to venture into today's real estate market and frankly, it is a bit intimidating. However, you just can't believe everything you hear and read. Now, if you never have had experience buying real estate, "exercise caution" would be appropriate advise. However, being a professional property scout eliminates the worry for me.

The more I scout for properties, the more I realize that there are some wonderful bargains. So many tremendous opportunities for the savvy investor. As a professional property scout I am amazed daily of the abundant opportunities here in the United States.

Becoming a member of NACREPS, nacreps.org I must say, was a good decision for me. They have buyers waiting for the deals. They have attorneys, doctors, architects, entrepreneurs who have the funds to invest. I have vested my time to learn what the investor groups are looking for. This was time well spent because now I don't waste time looking at properties that I know my investors would never consider. Once I find something that peaks my interest then I'm confident there is a good chance that it may peak their's.

The secret to their success is they run the numbers. They call it a "numbers game". They don't get all starry eyed about a project if the numbers don't make sense. So the chances of them purchasing something that won't make them very big profits are slim to none. They pay and do their own due diligence to see if in fact, it has merit. So they put up the front money not me.

What a fantastic way to get a feel for the commercial real estate business without the risk. There may be a deal right in your back yard but if you don't know what to look for, you'll miss it!

Be sure to go to nacreps.org for more information.

WHAT IS A COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE PROPERTY SCOUT

A commercial property scout is a person who generates qualified real estate leads for investors and is paid VERY handsomely for these activities. My recommendation is finding investors that will share in the profits so there is very little risk to the scout. This can take more time to get paid, but lead to great paydays! In today's commercial real estate market, savvy investors are looking and buying. Property scouting is a great way to get a "piece of the pie".

If you like working from your home, on your computer then this opportunity might be for you. I learned how to look for these deals by joining NACREPS which stands for National Association of Commercial Real Estate Property Scouts. nacreps.org

The great thing about being a part of NACREPS is that they have investors waiting to buy. You just bring them the deals. They train you to know what the investors are looking for in today's real estate market. You start scouting in your area where you live or across the United States using the internet. Like right now, investors are looking for apartment buildings, self storage sites and office/retail properties. You may know of some right now in your back yard. They love the ones that have problems or the owners have problems and are motivated to sell. Properties that they can enhance, add value and generate income.

I think this is a great opportunity but you check it out for yourself.
