What’s the Best Way to Make Money Fast Investing in San Diego Real Estate?

by Gary Kent / Friday, 20 March 2015 / Published in Q&A - Home Investing Questions

Question:

“What’s the best way to make money quickly investing in real estate?”

Answer:

Sorry, but if there were any get-rich-quick ideas that actually worked, everyone would do them…and they would no longer work.

The closest thing to a useful answer I could give you is to wait until we have another downturn (2 years, 10 years… who knows?) and either:

  1. Buy near the bottom and hold until it peaks
  2. On the way up, buy/fix/sell as many properties as you can

Of course, the glaring flaw in this advice is the assumption that you can recognize the bottoms and the peaks.

…Good luck with that!
