Let’s say that the real estate market where you invest is not necessarily doubling in value in a four-year span of time.  But it’s not crashing and plummeting, either.  Real estate markets like these range from rural communities where not much changes over the years (which I call “Mayberry”) to larger cities that are in between more drastic market shifts.

Regardless, if your market is one where values are just stable, or are going up or down too slowly to notice, then I recommend creating your own preferred combination of market strategies.  For example, you could decide to sell half of the properties you buy and keep half as rentals, while wholesaling any that don’t fit either bill.

Let me give you a list of strategies first, then you can pick and choose your favorites:

1)            Wholesaling houses – Getting a deal under contract and selling the contract to another investor

2)            Flipping Houses – Buying houses under market value and reselling for full price

3)            Buy and Hold – Buying houses to keep as rentals for the long haul

4)            Lease-Optioning – Like buy and hold, but you are leasing the house to tenant/buyers who have given you a large deposit and hope to someday buy it when they qualify

5)            Buying and Selling Notes and Paper – Not buying the property, but the seller-financed notes that are secured by the house.

Which market strategy or strategies you use will depend on your personal goals.  If you want to make as much money as you can in the long term, then it makes sense to buy and hold until you own them free and clear.  If you just want some extra cash without a lot of hassle, then wholesaling is for you.

Each of these has their pros and cons.  I would try each of them at least once and then settle on your own favorites, or combination of the above.
