How to become a real estate investor without going broke
TL;DR: The real estate market can be volatile, but Mashvisor (no relation to Mashable) acts as your assistant by analyzing properties across the country. A lifetime subscription is regularly $1,499, but using code 20SAVE20 signs you up for $31.20 — a 97% savings.
Real estate investing, as a concept, is basically as simple as playing Monopoly. In order to succeed, you purchase properties, avoid bankruptcy, and generate rent so you can purchase more properties.
If you don't thoroughly vet a property before committing, though, you could wind up broke. Yikes.
Mashvisor (no relation to Mashable) takes the hardest part — finding rental properties that will actually continue to provide a return — and builds it into a service that's as easy to navigate as Zillow. It turns three months of research into about 15 minutes by analyzing nationwide real estate, and you can lock down a lifetime subscription for less than $32 with code 20SAVE20.
Once you have an account, all you have to do is type in your city of interest and you'll immediately get an overview of the investment opportunities in the area. You'll find out all the key calculations on specific neighborhoods, like Airbnb occupancy rates, average cash on cash return and cap rate for each property, median home price, average rental income, and the optimal strategy suggested.
The service is particularly helpful for analyzing cities you're not familiar with. Even without visiting the area, you can get listing information (including on Airbnb locations) from reliable sources and algorithm-based projections so you can find the perfect rental property and plan how to outperform the rental market.
Usually, a lifetime subscription to Mashvisor would run you $1,499, but it's currently on sale for just $39. Plus, if you use the code 20SAVE20 at checkout, you can slash that price down to just $31.20.
