Owners or real estate, like a house, sign a contract with a broker to sell it. Brokers typically make a 6 percent commission based on the sales price. Brokers bring buyers and sellers together.

I know it’s a commission based position. Just wondering, do real estate agents earn a base pay at first?

No, it is make a sale or starve. The commission is all the agent gets.

I am developing a marketing plan and want to communicate it with real estate agents. What industry publications to you read?

Nothing with regularity. I read most trade info on line.

Throughout the last century, the real estate market has expanded in such a way that there is virtually any possible service to supply the clients’ needs in this domain. Whether you’re selling a house, or thinking about property investment, what you should first do is hire a real estate agent. But how do you know which one is the right one? Property investment is a very productive business and getting the best bargain is something any potential buyer desires.

People considering property investment often find themselves at crossroads, be it with standard terminology or with harsh competition. So what they resort to is the help of an agent, who not only makes the responsibility of searching for a property his own, but also handles the closing and escrow. In a property investment situation, the agent gets a commission for his work, which is usually a percentage of the investment property.

There are three things you need to consider when selecting a real estate agent for property investing:

Firstly, if you are purchasing property for investing purposes, you need a number sauvy real estate agent who can tell you what the return on investment on your particular investment property and whether there are other higher yielding properties in the vicinity. This property agent should be well versed in the property trends of the area that you intend to invest in and have grounds and basis for their rental projections.

Secondly, you need to find a good trustworthy real estate agent. This is because some people purchase investment properties outside the state that they reside in and some of these real estate agencies provide property management services where they look after the property for you and collect the rental on your behalf and charge you a management fee.

Thirdly, find a real estate agent who acts in your best interest. Some real estate agents are so keen to close deals that they would compromise with the owner and fail to rely your price instructions. Keep your eye out for such real estate agents who don’t work hard on your behalf.

In conclusion, real estate agents are a critical part of the real estate investment process and you should spend some time looking for a suitable one especially if you are going to be doing real estate investing on a long term basis.

Kicking off the evaluation process is the toughest for us. Question after question kept popping up “Is the property market low enough?”, “Is this property worth considering?”, “Are the numbers the only criteria for investment?” What are we really looking for in real estate investing?? Quick bucks $$ or Regular income…

Bottom-line = Money!!!

Property Agents have tons of recommendations for YOU! How will you know whether they are good investment for you?

There are many factors that need to be considered in evaluating a real estate investment. For example, location, environment/neighborhood, facilities, financing options, rental income, etc. If all above works, it is time calling your agents and set up appointments. Happy Viewings!!!!

Actually it is not difficult and it does not need much of your time to know if a real estate investment is worth investing in the first place. All you need is crunching some numbers with your calculator, and Bingo! You can decide whether the property is worth investing.

Later in this article, we will show you how these numbers work in your prospective real estate investment by two real life cases in Johor Bahru, Malaysia.

Numbering GAME
Numbers, numbers and numbers.. How do you get them?

You may try calling a few property agents, check with banks on properties valuations and of course there is plenty of information on the Internet. Once you have these numbers you can determine if a real estate investment is worth spending your time for a viewing. “Seeing is Believing.” Check out the property to see the actual condition and the environment, whether it is to your liking once you get your numbers RIGHT! Once you get your numbers, you will see:

Incomes
One-time income – selling price
Regular income – rental price

Costs
One-time expenses (startup costs) – down payment, agent’s brokerage, legal fees, stamp duty, furnishing cost, etc.
Regular expenses (monthly costs) – monthly loan repayment, monthly maintenance fee, quit rent, property tax, etc.

See how they (numbers) work..
The basic requirement for a good real estate investment is that the income it generates must be more than its costs.

If the selling price of a real estate investment is more than its purchase price and startup costs, this investment generates capital gain.

If the rental income of a real estate investment is more than its monthly expenses, this investment generates cash flow.

If you are looking for capital gain, the gain or loss depends very much on the real estate market. Hoping to make money from capital gain on real estate is like buying a product and hoping the value of the product will go up with time. On a long term basis, real estate will be appreciating in value because of inflation, but the gain is not guaranteed.

On the other hand, a real estate investment that generates cash flow effectively put money into your pocket every month, while your equity in the real estate investment increases over time. This is the real estate investment that we are looking for – an investment worth investing.

Too good to be true?
With this recession time, you will ask yourself, “Is it the RIGHT time for me to start investing in real estate? Everything is so uncertain NOW.”

In Johor Bahru, you can find plenty of real estate investments worth investing at this juncture. We discovered most of these investments that generate substantial cash flow are mainly apartments or condominiums. You can read from our upcoming article to know why apartments or condominiums are better real estate investments in Johor Bahru. Here are two recent real life cases of real estate investments worth investing in Johor Bahru.

Case 1: We found a condominium in Larkin area of Johor Bahru in Octorber 2008 selling at $160,000 with existing tenant. Monthly rental income is $1400 while monthly maintenance cost is around $300 (maintenance fee plus sinking fund plus quit rent).

If we finance 90% of the purchase price to buy this condominium with interest rate 4.85% with a tenure of 30 years, monthly loan repayment is estimated to be $760. Thus, this condominium is generating a net cash flow of $340 every month, $4080 every year.

Total capital outlay for this investment is $24,000 for down payment including other startup costs like legal fee and brokerage.

Effectively this investment gives us a yearly cash-on-cash return of 18.5%. In other words, within 6 years we would be able to take back our capital $24,000! The best thing is we still own the condominium. It will keep putting money into our pocket every month. We also have the option to sell it away when the market is good.

Case 2: There is a 3-rooms apartment in Tampoi sold at $125,000 in Octorber 2008. Monthly maintenance cost is about $150. If we finance 90% of the purchase price with interest rate 4.85% with a tenure of 30 years, monthly loan repayment is estimated to be $600.

Expected rental income for a fully furnished apartment in the area is about $1200. With furnishing cost of $10,000, total capital required for this investment is around $27,000, while total monthly cost is $750.

The apartment is expected to generate a net cash flow of $450 every month, $5400 every year. Cash-on-cash return on this investment is 20% which we can expect to take back all the capital within 5 years.

Sound interesting right?
Of course, so far we are only talking about numbers. A good real estate investment does not rely on purely numbers. You still have to go and have a look at the building structures, study the location and neighborhood, and perform other checks before you make your decision. What we have discussed, however, can save you time and give you more ideas on the potential returns of a real estate investment before you tell your agent which real estate you want to view in the coming weekend.
