What real estate investment strategies are trending this year?

The market is changing. Most housing markets are becoming more expensive, interest rates are going up, and many investors are switching up their strategies. So, what’s trending now?

1. Reverse Wholesaling

For those seeking low risk investing, and low capital outlays, reverse wholesaling can be the perfect REI strategy. Instead of finding deals, and then trying to line up funding and marketing for buyers, reverse wholesalers find the buyers first. Then with transactional funding they can turn deals around in a matter of hours. They know their exit before they get in.

2. International Investing

There is set to be a significant amount of cross-border investing in 2017. The majority of global investors surveyed say they plan to increase their investment in American real estate this year. That will account for a sizable percentage of the $1.7T in capital these investors have to put to work this year. At the same time many US based investors may again begin investing offshore. Among this group are those looking to diversify their buy and hold portfolios, those hedging against and American real estate downturn, and those looking for less expensive assets with better cash flow.

3. New Construction

In many areas it has become cheaper and more profitable to build new rather than acquire exiting distressed properties. Some are engaging in gut rehabs of older properties or are expanding with additional square footage. Others are building spec homes to flip, or fourplexes to rent out for cash flow.

4. Partnerships

With many new investors trying to get into the market, and experienced investors looking to diversify and spread risk of any local downturns, more investors are partnering up. Real estate crowdfunding is one way to do this. Others are teaming up with a few peers to take on rentals, and some lenders are offering JV opportunities which provide 100% financing and equity sharing.
