Real estate investing involves the purchase, ownership, management, rental and/or sale of real estate for profit. Improvement of realty property as part of a real estate investment strategy is generally considered to be a sub-specialty of real estate investing called real estate development. Real estate is an asset form with limited liquidity relative to other investments, it is also capital intensive (although capital may be gained through mortgage leverage) and is highly cash flow dependent. If these factors are not well understood and managed by the investor, real estate becomes a risky investment. The primary cause of investment failure for real estate is that the investor goes into negative cash flow for a period of time that is not sustainable, often forcing them to resell the property at a loss or go into insolvency.

Can anyone explain how probate real estate investing works?
Q.

A. While an executor or personal representative for an estate may need to sell an estate's assets, such as real estate to pay off the estate's debt, most already know an agent or 2. To target these as potential home sellers is pretty much the equivilent of ambulance chasing. And as BrokerPro said, if it's so profitable & these homes are offered at such a discount, why isn't the guy snatching up these homes instead of selling you his course and giving away his "secrets". Plus most people that are appointed as an executor are not stupid & actually, part of the probate & estate process requires that all the estates assets be valued. For real estate, this needs to be in writing, such as a CMA from a real estate agent. The entire estate must be… [cont.]

what are some good books or web sites to teach me how to get started in real estate investing?
Q. I plan on investing in real estate in the next few years. Right now I want to school myself on how it's done. Any a good references?

I have invested in real estate, and the value of my portfolio is really plummetting. Even though real estate is a steal right now, and I am in the business, I would not buy at this time.
