Back Linking should be one of your SEO objectives for Marketing Your Real Estate Properties

One of the most aggressive groups or niche players in the internet marketing business is Real Estate Investors.

Since there is currently a glut of properties on the market, Real Estate Investors have had to learn all the current marketing channels there are to get their inventory in front of potential BUYERS. They employ several marketing strategies for getting their product, service or asset in front of their clients, such as:

• Squeeze Pages.
• Email Blasts to their lists.
• Joint Ventures or JV's.
• Affiliate Marketing Program.
• Back Linking.
• Blogging and/or Web Sites.
• Video.
• Newsletters.
• Webinars.
• and on and on and on...

Side Bar: Would love to hear about your strategies for generating traffic! Do you have any ideas...????

You get the point. The main objective is getting traffic.....

One of my favorite methods is back linking. It is easy but time consuming. Yes, there is automation software available but Google frowns upon this. Don't get banned or slapped!

Google loves to give you traffic via back linking if you provide the following....

1. Good Content. Google monitors your traffic and checks statistics.
2. Like Content. In others words, don't back link to a wedding site when your site is about scuba diving.
3. High Page Rank. Google gives you a higher ranking if you have multiple back links from web sites with high page ranks.

So...Below is a table of Blog and RSS directories you should add your Blog and RSS feed URLs to. Just click on the chiclet graphic. A new window should open up and allow you to add your URL's. Make sure you place your URL's in the proper classification directory. You may have to look around for it.

Video about Calculating Fair Market Rent FMR using a HUD Section 8 tool

While giving real estate investing presentations, especially about Section 8 and to new land lords, a common question from newbies is "How much can I charge for rent?"

WOW, that is a good question!

Remember, there are several things to consider while trying to answer this famous question:

• How many bedrooms?
• Demographics of the neighborhood?
• Have I checked the local newspapers?
• Did I call "FOR Rent" signs and see what other Land Lords are asking?
• What is the Multiple Listing Service MLS saying about rental prices in that zip code?
• Other Investors, what are they charging?
• Does your property have issues?
• Etc.

My point is that it would take a lot of time to do a good rental survey or Fair Market Rent FMR of your market before you can come up with a price.

But those days are over......

When I started using Section Eight I noticed that the case workers focused on:

1. Participant's current income
2. Inspection results of the land lord's property
3. What is Section Eight or Plan Ocho currently paying other land lords in the area.

They would always come up with a figure magically. I always wondered how they calculated the results to come up with the fair market rent FMR number. Fair meaning making it a win-win for the Housing Authority, the Land Lord and the Participant.

NOW...

Here is a tool where the Fair Market Rent FMR ceilings are calculated for you by HUD, from efficiencies, one bedroom and up to four bedrooms. Check out the video....

Using the MAO rule for determining your Investment Property Offer Price

As you know I run, along with my partner Luis Maqueira, the Miami Real Estate Investor’s Association MREIA monthly meeting every fourth Tuesday of every month.

One of the most common questions from our MREIA group is how do we determine the property’s value so we don’t pay too much? By paying too much would prevent the investor from making any money on the deal. Most investors want the deal to be a win-win-win for everyone involved in the transaction:

• Win for Seller,
• Win for the Investor,
• Win for the Buyer that purchases
  the asset after it has been repaired.

The Maximum Allowable Offer MAO rule allows the investor to determine the property’s value so the transaction will be a win-win-win deal. It creates a maximum ceiling price for the investor. Go passed the ceiling and you won’t make money. It is always said among Real Estate Investors, "You Make Money on the property when you purchase it, not when you sell it."

Below is a brief video that explains how the MAO rule is processed and how the derived number is of value to the Real Estate Investor:
