WHY FORECAST? From The Desk Of Ed Ross Date:    Tampa, Florida     RE: A Forecast Makes You Money

Ed Ross

Dear Real Estate Investor,

Million dollar returns in real estate are realized through equity gains and cash flow over time. Investors realize faster returns under any market condition so long as they can learn to manage and calculate the timelines that produce equity and cash flow gains.

The rewards from sound real estate investing are tremendous. Real property has been and will continue to be the single most significant source for creating individual wealth in the United States. Perhaps one of the most important reasons for these results is that most people make their real estate wealth while sleeping. Property holders see incremental returns in value over time with little or no effort. This is what is referred to as appreciation in your asset. Almost every investor knows that this is the most compelling reason to invest in purchasing real property. What is amazing is that the majority of investors fail to calculate their expected returns from appreciation before executing a contract to buy a specific property.  Instead, time and time again, buyers purchase with an expectation of both short term and long term appreciation without any sound technical or economical guidance. This in itself is not catastrophic since we all know that given enough of time the property almost always appreciates over the long run. But during an economical real estate slow down many regions may receive years of negligible appreciation and possibly even declines in values. Would it not be wonderful to take the extra time to project how much time the appreciation will take and the amount of money you plan to make on every property?

Even when putting a bet on a table in Las Vegas we all have expectations of how much return we are expecting if we win. Or even a better example is any state lotto. Each store posts how much the current “pot” of earnings which is expected to be distributed to the winner. Sure there is no guarantee that you will be the winner, but at least you know what to expect to win.

Now lets apply this to purchasing a property. Many of you have already bought your first property. Did you have an exact number for appreciation over the first five years of ownership?   

Estimating your appreciable real estate returns over the short and long-term does not need to be a cumbersome or difficult task. In fact once you are armed with a few tools it can be as simple as calculating your lotto returns.   

Taking the time to understand the dynamics of current economic conditions and applying the results before making an offer to purchase a property can and will yield you greater financial returns. All forms of financial investing (stocks, bonds, time-deposits) include a component of estimating the expected gain over time. In real estate, when speaking of appreciation, we call this passive income. Basically the income you earn over time with or without your involvement. Measuring your expected returns can and should be a fundamental part of your investing strategy.
