Why Does Investors Invest?
a real estate investor buys houses in the hopes that they can acquire it for a lower price and sell it for a higher one and/or rent it out. Investors are motivated to buy properties that are priced lower than the market price for them to buy. They are looking for discounted houses.
Before setting your asking price, think about what you can get out of selling for an investor…
Understanding The Asking Price
Your asking price is basically just the starting pint of the negotiation. Even if you sell to someone by listing your house on the market through a real estate agent, your asking price will be the starting point and the buyer will surely negotiate a lower price.
But there’s more to it that people don’t realize. The asking price has other factors built-in. For example, it assumes that you have repaired, fixed, and cleaned up the house. They are expecting it is in good shape and is ready to sell. Also, you have to know that while your agent tries to find a buyer, which by the way takes months, you will have to pay the bills, taxes, and insurance on your property. You will also have to pay a hefty agent commission.
Your asking price has all of these “built to it”.
An Investor Skips All This
