Are you on top of the 5 factors which are going to determine your level of success in real estate investing in 2013?

These 5 elements are what will control the game in the next 12 months, and if you are on top of your game you can crush it and dominate…

1. The Rebound

The U.S. housing market has come a long way in 2012 and is expected to post even better improvements in 2013. We might not be rolling from recovery to boom just yet. It is still an uneven recovery with even the best performing markets having another 30% to go up before hitting the baseline to launch another boom era.

Still, it is time to be aggressive and confident. Don’t speculate but do make big moves based on facts and cycles so that you control the largest percentage of market share you can.

2. Marketing Trends

We’ve all heard and are pretty well aware that mobile marketing is the hot ticket for real estate from here on out.

However, new tests launched by Facebook this week which aim to charge marketers $1 per message sent to anyone outside of an investor’s direct network put another nail in the social networks’ coffin and perhaps Silicon Valley’s startup nation, even if they don’t realize it yet.

So stay on your tech game but don’t count on social platforms for free marketing in 2013.

3. Foreclosures Move into Overdrive

Foreclosure sales are already speeding up in many hot areas on higher profits and prices being achieved by lenders. Expect this to continue during the next 12 months.

Don’t worry there are plenty of distressed properties to be had for the flipping too. It was just revealed that Bank of America alone is holding $64 billion in mortgages which are more than 6 months delinquent and haven’t even received a foreclosure notice yet. That puts far more distressed property out there than any private equity fund or even billionaire Carlos Slim can take down.

However, investors who want to be first in line to get the sweetest discounts on these deals need to be more innovative. Think pooling funds to buy in bulk, taking down properties as non-performing mortgage notes and checking out credit unions and asset managers as sources instead of banks.

4. Foreign Buyer Surge

While foreign buyers and investors have been a sizable force in the real estate market for the last few years we have just had a glimpse of the tip of the iceberg of what is to come in 2013.

The death of old havens like western European capitals, central London, Hong Kong and Canada has placed the U.S. as the top destination for global real estate investment in 2013.

These buyers want protection for wealth but most of all they crave high yields and regular income.

5. Mortgages

Mortgages will sadly remain the missing part of the real estate recovery puzzle for most during 2013. Lenders want to loan and hope to lend more but they are also afraid and hampered by regulations.

So get your transactional funding here for fuel all of your acquisitions and flips and get your deals in front of qualified cash buyers and REITs to smoke the competition and reel in huge revenues in the New Year!
