The real estate industry is an industry in which many of us will have to make some

Choices about how we will compete in the future. Past behaviour probably will not

carry you through the next decade.

The questions are how do we think about the question of

strategy for our  business and how do we  do that in a productive way.

In looking at any industry there are two basic questions that each of us has to answer if we are going to develop an effective strategy.

The first question

1.      what’s going on in the industry itself ?

Industries differ dramatically in their profit potential and their profit potential changes over time. We  have to understand this because there is something about the game in which we are playing that is going to determine how successful we are going to be. There are some games that are superior to play in and some games that are not effective  games to play in.

Real estate isn’t an industry. It’s a whole sector of the economy. It is composed of many distinct businesses, each of which is an industry.  Each of these industries has a differenteconomic logic.  We have to understand how attractive the industries are in which we are competing and we have to understand how they are likely to change over time. Hopefully, our job is not only to compete in a way that is going to improve your position but also that will make our industry better.

 2. Second basic question in strategy has to do with our position within the industry.

No matter where we are operating, we are going to have to decide exactly how our

company is going to compete and how we are going to position your company to be a

superior performer in the cut throat competition .

What we see from looking at every industry is that, no matter how attractive or unattractive an industry is, some companies do a lot better than others, year in and year out,because they have found exactly the right position.

How can we understand our industry and our competitive environment, and how can we understand how to position your company within that environment?

 Basically in any industry, there are five forces of competition. The first is rivalry

amongst competitors. This takes many forms. One of which is the threat of substitute

products or services. In  business, this might be some type of totally new retail space,

some new location for office space or rehab instead of new construction.

The second is the threat of new entrants into the industry. This is always a threat

whenever there is something profitable going on. If they do enter, they are going to erode the profitability of that segment .

The third and fourth forces are the bargaining power of the suppliers, from whom you

are purchasing critical inputs, and the bargaining power of the buyer to whom you are trying

to sell.

I would like to focus principally on the development side of the business .

In development, it’s useful to think of two buyers: the tenant and the financial buyer.

Often, the financial buyer is considered to be a supplier but I think that it is more useful to

think of them as a buyer.

The question in the real estate development industry is what has been the nature of

the industry historically and how has it been changing? I think it has been pretty clear in the

past that,  it has been a relatively attractive industry. It was an industry, at least from my perspective, that was such that if you were in the game and you were reasonably professional, you could make money. In fact I could make what some people would call unbelievable amounts of money.

Now why is that? I think the historical success of this industry really begins on the

demand side. We had a number of forces that made for a very favourable buyer environment.

 How should you position yourself? If you accept this notion that the industry is

getting less attractive, has become less attractive, and that it is permanent and not just an

overcapacity problem that will go away in a couple of years, then how should you deal with

that? How is  company going to be a superior performer?

 In every industry there is a distribution of profits. Whatever the industry average

profits are, there are some companies that outperform the average and there are some that

underperform it. So what is it that will allow you to outperform your industry? The answer to

that question, at least in generic terms, is very simple. And that is to have a sustainable

competitive advantage. Very few real estate firms have thought in these terms. People didn’t

think in terms of competitive advantages that they could sustain. They thought in much more

opportunistic terms. But I maintain that if you are to be successful in the future, you are

going to have to think this way about your company and about what you should be doing.

 In terms of competitive advantage, we competitive advantage comes in two flavours. And only two. One is lower cost. You are able to finance and develop a project and deliver it at a lower cost which allows you to get a higher margin at prevailing price levels. The other advantage is what we like to call differentiation. Differentiation is the ability to have some unique skills or resources that allow you to command a premium price. So the idea here is that if you are skilled in design or in creating new conceptions of projects that you could get higher revenue per square foot or better utilization of the land. Again, providing that you can keep your costs in line, this differentiation will lead to superior performance. These are the two simple-minded routes to superior performance.

Once you start building your real estate investing business, finding opportunities and potential deals, you’re going to realize you can not do it all on your own, and even if you could you would still be better off delegating these tasks anyway.

One of the biggest mistakes beginning investors make is they try and do everything themselves or use the wrong people in the process. They think, “I will get my first deal done and once I make some money, then I will build a team”. Unfortunately, what usually happens is they get stuck trying to learn and do everything in a limited amount of time, then get discouraged by either getting no results, getting scammed or burned from doing it wrong then ultimately giving up.

It is important to understand you need to work smarter not harder. This is the only way to run a successful real estate business. Not only will this make it more profitable but also more enjoyable!

Though you will not need everyone for every strategy you are focusing on, here are the top ten you should establish relationships with when you are starting out (in no particular order):

1. Home Inspectors

2. Insurance Agents

3. Mentors

4. Mortgage Brokers

5. Property Management Companies

6. Real Estate Agents

7. Real Estate Appraisers

8. Real Estate Attorneys

9. Rehab Crews

10. Title Companies

Every professional whether an agent, attorney, appraiser, etc, makes their money through different methods but these fees are minimal when you consider the money you make in comparison as an investor!

When putting together your power team, here are some guidelines to follow:

• Make sure you work with those that have experience working with investors similar to yourself. For example, a real estate agent that primarily works with clients buying large multi-units when you are wholesaling single family homes will be probably not be a good fit.

• Make sure they have experience working in the area or vicinity where you are investing.

• They should have at least 2-3 years of full time experience in the area you are hiring them for.

• Do not depend on just one in each category. For example, having 2-3 agents, brokers and inspectors will give you more flexibility, a larger network of contacts, and more competitive options for different circumstances.

• Always ask for referrals so you can expand your team using the best people.

Finally, be sure to approach potential team members with a win-win mentality. For example, when calling you can say, “I wanted to find out what services you offer to a professional investor. I would be interested to meet and see how we can work together, and I would be glad to refer you to the rest of my team.”

You want everyone on your team to make money just from knowing you. Not only will they enjoy doing business with you, but you will be a higher priority in their business. Just like the other aspects of creative real estate investing, you need focus on creating win-win relationships. Success breeds success.

The bottom line is: The more you utilize the expertise of those around you, the more lucrative and *easier* your business will be. Period. Once you understand and apply this, you will be well on your way to achieve the fastest and most aggressive results possible. Remember to work smarter not harder!

When it comes to being successful in the real estate business, you need to use a multiple component strategy to attract homebuyers to your website and keep them there. You can accomplish this with the winning online marketing and sales strategies that have been proven to work.

Your website is the first consideration, since you only have a few seconds to make a first impression. Analyze the appearance it gives. Is it professional and easy to navigate? Is it helpful in finding them the homes they are looking for using the MLS system and integrated real estate IDX searches? Cultivating new leads means making customers come to your website and stay there to find what they are searching for. It also means getting them to sign up for newsletters or contact information on listings so that you can get your foot in the door and make a sale.

Search engine optimization is helpful in driving online traffic to your website. Without it, you could have a hard time competing in a highly competitive real estate company market. Winning sales strategies for online marketing include having an SEO or search engine optimized website to drive your website to the top of the search engine rankings.

Real estate listing syndication and property launch of individual property websites can be crucial in grabbing the attention of pre-qualified buyers and helps you to increase market share because they can find listings easier and faster, which makes them more cost effective.

These strategies might require the help of experts that specialize in IDX search, real estate website design and real estate online marketing to make the entire process a success. Wasted time is wasted money in commissions, so you can’t afford to do your online marketing and sales efforts by experimentation. When it comes to the success of your real estate business, you need to incorporate the best websites, IDX property searches and sales strategies you can find or another real estate company will.

Because most real estate experts aren’t necessarily experts in the online marketing techniques, many of them waste time trying different methods without results. Trying to save a few dollars by doing some of the work themselves can cost thousands of dollars in lost sales commissions in a short amount of time. There are ways to optimize your website for the best customer experience and you can build a loyal customer following from the leads you are able to generate.

Of course, they have to find your website in the sea of thousands that might have listings that are equally attractive. This is where search engine optimization can be so important, yet it is more than a random repeating of certain keywords or phrases. In fact, some real estate websites can get penalized and lowered in rankings because a novice will keyword stuff a website or not fit search engine rules and guidelines. Once this happens, your online presence will virtually disappear. This is a risk that isn’t worth taking, when it can be so affordable to get expert help and generate more sales leads.

Cornwall is the furthest south and the furthest west of the English counties and is bordered to the north and west by the Atlantic Ocean and to the east by Devon. The topography of Cornwall varies from the dramatic, rugged cliffs of the north, sculpted by the constant pounding of the sea, to the sheltered coves and bays of the south, together with moorland and lowland stretches. Property in Cornwall is nearly as diversified as the landscape itself, with town houses, country houses, including farmhouses and barn conversions, and smaller properties available for sale throughout the county.

Starting on the north Cornish coast, Bude has been welcoming visitors since Victorian times. The clean, sandy beaches in the area offer safe bathing and some of the best surfing in the country. Befitting a family-focused seaside resort, property in the Bude area is mainly in the form of detached houses, which make up nearly 50% of the housing stock. The price of the average detached house works out at just over £200,000, but semi-detached and terraced houses are available for around £140,000 on average. For single people and couples, flats and maisonettes are in short supply compared with some of the other types of property in the area, but where they are available prices work out at a little over £100,000 on average.

Moving south along the Atlantic north coast, the village of Boscastle grew up as a busy port around a tiny natural harbour. The village attracted nationwide attention in 2004 when a flash flood, exacerbated by its position in the Valency valley, caused widespread devastation. The small community in Boscastle has since recovered, with flood defence work and regeneration projects being completed in the autumn of 2008, at a cost of £10 million. Property in Boscastle does not come onto the market all that often compared with some other areas of Cornwall. When it does, however, two, three and four bedroom houses can be bought for an average of £225,000, £250,000 and £375,000 respectively.

Further south still, the formerly important fishing port of Padstow has undergone resurgence in recent years, largely due to the popularity of TV celebrity chef Rick Stein. Rick Stein has actually run his world famous “The Seafood Restaurant” in Padstow since the Seventies, but since his rise to fame has opened three more. Indeed, freshly caught crab, lobster and other seafood are specialities of the area. The appearance of a cluster of good quality restaurants in a small town or village often suggests a healthy housing market. Indeed, Padstow property prices have risen faster than elsewhere in the county, but you can find one bedroom flats at less than £175,000 or two or three bedroom houses for a little over £200,000 and £350,000 respectively, on average.

The county town of Cornwall, Truro, is another popular location for property buyers. Truro is situated close to both coasts and offers a friendly, relaxed atmosphere and a distinctive character. Terraced housing is the most plentiful in Truro and makes up nearly 30% of the total housing stock. Two, three and four bedroom houses are available in the price range between just under £200,000 and just over £300,000 on average.

The copy of your best internet home based business ideas on your landing page must be short. You just thank the visitor and want to give him a useful and valuable gift. What a visitor must do is only to write his name and email address into the form. Nothing else. He understands that those are required so that he is able to download the gift, which he so eagerly wants!
