The first type of real estate investment is when the real estate investor buys a property, fixes it up, and sells it, then does the same to another property. Most homeowners, even if they aren't trying to be real estate investors, fall into this category. Those who sell their homes in worse shape than when they bought it simply don't know the value of taking care of their real estate investment. Those who develop the property to its' maximum likely value, and then move on to another property quickly are good at this method, and some people actually make a living out of it real estate investment method alone, just moving into and fixing up one house at a time. Foreclosure real estate investment would fall under this category as well.

What does real estate investment pay? Well, obviously the three types of home investing or real estate investing have different pay structures, and even within them, how much you invest will always dictate how much you can make. Renting a single room townhouse and renting a 1,000 unit condominium complex are obviously going to have different costs and levels of upkeep associated with them. Therefore, real estate investment return on each real estate investment is different.

Of course you can see what you'd be bidding on ahead of time on various websites.

There is a less popular type of Real Estate investing that I almost don't want to get into here referred to as " real estate note buying." This involves real estate notes. It is much more risky than the three traditional types of real estate investing and has very little in common with them, but technically it is within the realm of Real Estate investing.

Buy and hold the real estate notes
If you have enough cash to buy the real estate notes and hold them, you can live off the interest or monthly payments. However, most people who are investing in Real Estate do not have the cash available to do this to start off with.
