Real Estate is a place to make money if one can invest a bit and one is well informed about the market. Nevertheless, like all businesses you also need to have a business plan or a strategy to win over and become a successful investor. Irrespective of whatever strategy one may deploy there are several ways to make money in real estate which we elaborate as under.

Properties which are in need of major repairs are sold at much lesser price than the market rate. Such properties can be bought and sold when the market takes an upward turn. There is profit if one rents such properties also as the return on investment will be high owing to less investment.
Real Estate Agency: Opening a real estate agency is a much better option instead of putting one’s money at risk. The real estate agents do not rent, sell or buy property but instead earn huge commissions on sale just by helping people to buy and sell property.
