Buying & Selling Income Property

Although the basics of income property transactions are similar to buying or selling a personal residence, in general,  buying and selling income property is significantly more complex and decisions require additional and different considerations.

A Certificate of Course Completion is now available for this Course.

This e-course is designed to provide a general education in the purchase and sale of income producing real estate. However, we recommend that you complete the Valuing Income Property e-course before starting this course.  The Valuing course will help you understand some of the real estate investment concepts and related discussions in this course. Although the Valuing course is not a prerequisite to this course, understanding a property's value as an investment vehicle is critical and the Valuing course should be completed and well understood before actually buying or selling an investment property.

This Buying and Selling Income Property e-course will take you step-by-step through the subject of buying and selling income property, including how to select a property, analyze it for profit potential, write a purchase contract, perform detailed analysis and inspection, manage it, and eventually sell it.  A pre-course quiz will test your existing knowledge of the subject and a final quiz will allow you to see how much you learned.  You may repeat all or parts of the course as many times as desired.  Some of the issues covered in this course are covered from a different aspect or in more detail in various Web pages throughout the LandlordAmerica family of Webs as well as in other e-courses.

Finally, this course includes a lot of detail so as to cover even unique and/or complex transactions.  Certain issues will not be of equal concern in all transactions, or in some cases will be of no concern at all.  If you understand the reasoning behind each issue, you should be able to judge if and to what degree an issue should be of concern in a particular transaction.
