Real Estate InvestorQ: I’d like to invest in Real Estate... but not on my own. What can I do? Looking for an investment opportunity with great returns and low risk? Want the benefits of investing in real estate without the hassles of dealing with tenant issues, repairs and maintenance? Unsure how or where to get started with investing in real estate? Too busy to commit the time required for finding the right cash flowing property?

The First Step By selecting the right real estate agent and an experienced joint venture partner, you can achieve investing success without the risk involved in other investment strategies. Bruce Johnson brings years of success and experience to real estate investing. As an investor himself, he understands the opportunities to achieve great results.

For me, Bruce was the driving force that encouraged me to invest in real estate and take control of my financial future. Without his patience and customer service commitment for a new investor, I would not be on the path to wealth and financial independence.

Joint Venture Agreement Joint ventures are a common occurrence in real estate investing today. New and veteran investors use this approach to strengthen their investment portfolio by leveraging other people’s talents and resources to get amazing results. The success of the joint venture

occurs when two or more parties bring different skills or resources together to achieve results that couldn’t be obtained individually.

A popular structure for a joint venture agreement is when one party (known as the equity partner) contributes the financial resources required for the property acquisition in the form of the down payment, closings costs and repair

funds. The other party (known as the managing party) commits resources such as their time managing and repairing the property along with their experience in real estate investing.

Using this type of structure, both parties benefit from the cash flow and mortgage principle reduction while the property is being held. Upon the sale of the property, the equity partner’s original investment is returned to him/her then the remaining profits would be shared equally.

How Safe Is My Money? New equity investors within joint ventures often wonder how safe their financial investment is. Steps are taken to ensure your money is not at risk. A signed joint venture agreement is used and reviewed by a lawyer to establish the terms and conditions of the venture. Common terms used include a dual signature bank account being required to manage the financial expenses of operating the property, length of the joint venture, cash flow payments, and disposing of the property.

The equity investor will also get financial updates. Depending on the property and the financial transactions against it, updates are provided by the managing partner every one to three months.

Great Time To Get Started Now is a great time to take advantage of today’s historically low interest rates. The opportunity for cash flow has never been better. A $50,000 investment in a property could return 20% in cash flow annually.

Factor in mortgage reduction that occurs with your regular monthly payment and the return could be as high as 25%. Make repairs on the property to force appreciation and the return on investment drastically jumps to much higher amounts by taking advantage of refinancing the property.

After refinancing and paying back a portion of the original investment funds, the annual return can be in excess of 100%. Use borrowed money from a line of credit to invest and the return on investment is infinite!

It’s not hard to see why real estate investing has created so much wealth and independence for thousands of people and

why joint ventures are used to create win-win situations for everyone.
