Antiquated Properties 300x225 Pat Middleborn Shows How Antiquated Properties Can Be Put to Their Most Profitable UseThe only reason to invest in real estate instead of other investments is that it is one of the very few businesses left in America where private individual investors can profit substantially by turning problems into opportunities. Pat Middleborn knows in today’s marketplace antiquated properties can be a goldmine for smart investors who have the ability to visualize new lives for buildings that have outlived their original use. In fact, today’s real estate is infused with catchwords that are used to describe how antiquated properties can be put to their most profitable use and includes terms such as:

 

1. Re-utilization.
2. Conversion.
3. Redevelopment.
4. Recycling.
5. Retrofitting.
6. Repositioning.
7. Revitalization.

To consistently make money as a real estate investor, you must develop the ability to look at a piece of property and come up with a variety of viable uses for it-uses that your competitors have overlooked, but which make economic sense.

The most profitable type of properties to buy real estate options on are run-down type properties that do not appeal to many prospective buyers. And they are also the easiest types of property to get great deals on because investors who like run down properties are usually buyers of last resort for antiquated properties. Simply said, no other real estate investor is willing to take a chance on these types of unwanted properties. And when you are the weary owner of a piece of property in less than pristine condition, which has been sitting vacant for a long time with no purchase offers in hand, you cannot be too picky about how you sell your property. The fact is this bread of investors often provide the only hope that the owner of an antiquated property has of ever selling his or her property. And this lack of demand can put investors in the driver ‘s seat when it comes to negotiating better terms and below market purchase prices.

The key to consistently making money with this strategy is to be able to think outside your own local real estate market. I say this because in my professional opinion, the number one reason that most vacant commercial and industrial properties usually remain vacant for long periods of time is simply that no one in that particular real estate market has been able to come up with a profitable use for the property. And I attribute this to a general lack of vision, creativity, and foresight on the part of most so-called real estate professionals. The fact of the matter is that many of the people involved in real estate today are plagued with a bad case of tunnel vision, which prevents them from seeing beyond the borders of their own local real estate market. And for whatever reason, they have not been able to apply the marketing concept of buy locally but sell nationally and globally to their real estate investment business.

Granted, residential real estate may pretty much be a highly localized business, but that does not mean that the marketing of commercial and industrial real estate should be restricted to the local marketplace. And this is exactly why you must expand your real estate market horizons so that you are able to think outside your local real estate market.
