Beyond the Bid & Auction Essentials

Posted on August 26, 2024August 26, 2024 by miedema3

Beyond the Bid & Auction Essentials

Auctions can be an exhilarating method for buying or selling items like real estate, construction equipment or classic cars. However, participating in auctions involves more than just spotting amazing items. It’s essential to understand the terms and conditions of each sale to ensure a seamless and successful experience.

Terms are not one-size-fits-all; they vary widely across our different types of auctions, affecting both buyers and sellers in distinct ways. The variation in terms stems from the diverse nature of auctions themselves. Each type of auction serves different purposes, involves different kinds of items, and operates under different sets of rules. These variations are tailored to address the unique needs of each auction format, whether it’s a live, online, charity, or real estate auction.

We have compiled a shortened overview of terms for our LASTBIDrealestate auctions:

Buyer's Premium

A Buyer’s Premium of $1,000 or 10%, whichever is greater, will be added to the high bid and charged as a transaction fee to the buyer. Refer to item specific terms on each real estate auction to verify the Buyer’s Premium implemented on each auction.

Payment

Payment varies based on each property/parcel. Most often, a deposit will be required within 48 hours of the auction close date as well as the balance being due within 30 – 45 days of the auction close date. However, on some occasions, it may be shorter. Please refer to each property/parcel specifics to make sure you understand the deposit and balance due for the property you are bidding on.

Sales Subject to Approval

If the term “Sales Subject to Approval” is listed on the property you are interested in, this means that this particular property’s sale is contingent upon receiving the approval of the Bank, Court, Trustee, Private Seller or Lien Holders affiliated with that particular piece. Once the auction has ended, your Real Estate Manager will contact you once they hear from the seller, which is usually within 24 hours of the auction closing.

Regardless of the auction type, it’s important to carefully read and understand the terms and conditions before getting involved. Each auction format has its own nuances, and overlooking these details can result in unexpected costs or issues. Buyers should be aware of any potential fees, payment procedures, and return policies, while sellers need to understand how their items will be managed and what fees they may face. As the auction environment evolves, staying informed about these terms will help ensure a smooth and rewarding bidding experience. When in doubt, our experienced staff at LASTBIDrealestate can answer all your questions and can be contacted here. We want to make sure you feel comfortable and confident with every bid you place.

Bidding Wars; Real Estate Edition

Bidding Wars; Real Estate Edition

Selling or purchasing property is one of the most significant financial transactions many of us will ever undertake. Here at Miedema’s we get that, and that’s why we are consider an expert in all things real estate.

In today’s competitive market, auctions have become increasingly common. When an auction is held, multiple buyers compete for the same property. During an auction, bidding wars can occur – this has potential to drive the price above the initial listing. To help you better understand the market of selling or buying real estate through an auction, we put together a few informative facts below:

What is a Real Estate Auction?
A real estate auction is a public sale where properties are sold to the highest bidder. This process is managed by our teams at Miedema Auctioneering and LASTBIDrealestate. Auctions can be conducted live, online, or as a combination of both.

Transitioning from Traditional to Auction
According to the National Association of Realtors (NAR), the use of auctions for selling your property has increased by 15% annually over the past five years. In 2023, nearly 25% of residential properties in major metropolitan areas were sold through auctions compared to just 10% in 2018.

Future of Auctions
The trend towards auctions in real estate is expected to continue growing. This increase is driven by both technological advancements in online auction platforms and changing consumer preferences for more transparent and efficient buying and selling processes. With their numerous benefits, auctions are becoming a preferred method for both buyers and sellers, promising a future where real estate transactions are easier and more profitable.

Exploring Investment Properties

How to Build a Profitable Portfolio

In today’s dynamic real estate market, savvy investors are constantly seeking new opportunities to build a profitable portfolio. One strategy that has gained traction in recent years is investing in auctioned properties through online platforms like LASTBIDrealestate. Our platform provides a unique avenue for acquiring investment properties at potentially lower costs, but success requires careful planning and a solid understanding of the process. In this blog, we’ll explore the steps to building a profitable portfolio through online real estate auctions.

1. Research and Education:

The foundation of any successful real estate investment portfolio is thorough research and education. Before diving into the world of online real estate auctions, take the time to educate yourself about the process, market trends, and the specific areas you’re interested in. Explore the different types of properties available, from residential to commercial, and determine which aligns best with your investment goals. Additionally, consider attending real estate investment seminars, webinars, or workshops to gain valuable insights from experts. Online resources, real estate forums, and books can also provide a wealth of knowledge to help you make informed decisions.

2. Set Clear Investment Goals:

One of the most crucial steps in building a profitable real estate portfolio is setting clear investment goals. Are you looking for long-term rental income, fix-and-flip opportunities, or a combination of both? Knowing your objectives will guide your property selection and investment strategy. Define your target return on investment (ROI), risk tolerance, and the number of properties you aim to acquire within a certain time frame. Having well-defined goals will help you stay focused and make strategic decisions in line with your objectives.

3. Budget and Financing:

Once you’ve established your goals, it’s time to determine your budget and financing options. Calculate your total investment capacity, including the purchase price, renovation costs (if applicable), and ongoing expenses like property taxes, insurance, and maintenance. Make sure you have a clear understanding of your financial capabilities and limitations. Consider various financing options such as traditional mortgages, private lenders, or partnerships. Assess the pros and cons of each option and choose the one that best aligns with your investment strategy and financial situation.

4. Explore Online Real Estate Auctions:

Online real estate auction platforms like LASTBIDrealestate offer a convenient way to access a wide range of investment properties. These auctions typically feature properties that are bank-owned, foreclosed, or being sold by motivated sellers. By participating in auctions, investors have the opportunity to acquire properties at potentially discounted prices. Browse through our listings here, and filter properties based on your criteria such as location and and/or property type. Conduct due diligence on the properties that pique your interest, including property inspections, title searches, and understanding any outstanding liens or encumbrances.

5. Develop a Winning Strategy:

To succeed in the competitive world of online real estate auctions, you’ll need a well-thought-out strategy. This includes setting maximum bid limits for each property, factoring in all associated costs, and being disciplined about sticking to your budget. Don’t get caught up in bidding wars that exceed your predetermined limits. Consider diversifying your portfolio by investing in different types of properties or locations to spread risk. Be patient and prepared to wait for the right opportunities that align with your investment goals.

6. Engage in Due Diligence:

Due diligence is paramount when investing in properties. Conduct thorough research on the property’s history, condition, and potential for rental income or resale. Ensure you have a clear understanding of the property’s market value and potential appreciation. Consult with real estate professionals, inspectors, and appraisers to assess the property’s condition accurately. Address any potential issues before finalizing the purchase, and be prepared to walk away if the property doesn’t meet your criteria or presents too many challenges. LASTBIDrealestate has an amazing, professional crew that can help you answer questions that you may have. Contact us here.

7. Budget for Renovations and Maintenance:

Many properties require renovation or maintenance work to reach their full potential. Factor these costs into your budget and make sure you have access to the necessary funds. Create a detailed renovation plan and timeline to ensure the property is ready for rental or resale as quickly as possible.

8. Property Management:

If you plan to rent out your investment properties, consider hiring a property management company to handle day-to-day operations. Professional management can alleviate the stress of tenant issues, maintenance requests, and rent collection, allowing you to focus on growing your portfolio and making strategic investment decisions.

9. Monitor and Adjust:

Building a profitable real estate portfolio is an ongoing process. Continuously monitor the performance of your properties, track your expenses and income, and make adjustments to your strategy as needed. Stay informed about market trends and adjust your portfolio to align with changing conditions.

10. Seek Professional Advice:

Finally, consider enlisting the help of real estate professionals, financial advisors, and legal experts to navigate the complexities of building a profitable investment portfolio. They can provide valuable guidance on tax strategies, asset protection, and compliance with local regulations.

In conclusion, building a profitable real estate investment portfolio through online auctions is a promising strategy for investors seeking unique opportunities in the market. By conducting thorough research, setting clear goals, and following a well-defined strategy, you can take advantage of these auctions to acquire properties that align with your investment objectives. Remember that success in real estate investing requires patience, due diligence, and ongoing management, so stay committed to your goals and adapt as needed to build a portfolio that generates long-term wealth and financial stability.
