The Most Common Real Estate Investing Terms You Need To Know

February 22, 2023 by Linda White

The Most Common Real Estate Investing Terms You Need To KnowIf you are thinking about investing in real estate, you probably know it is a great way to diversify your investments. But, like any investment, you must make sure you choose your targets wisely. That means understanding a lot of the jargon in the field. You will come across a lot of real estate investing terms, but what are some of the most important ones you need to know?

Hard Money Loan

There are a variety of real estate loan options, and one frequent choice among real estate investors is called a hard money loan. This is typically a loan that comes from private lenders that can help you finance a real estate purchase quickly. If you see an outstanding real estate investment opportunity, you need to act fast. While a private lender can give you a hard money loan quickly, it generally comes with a higher interest rate. 

Net Operating Income (NOI)

Your net operating income refers to the yearly revenue you generate from your investment property. As a real estate investor, each property will come with its own overhead expenses. Some of the most common examples include your mortgage, real estate taxes, home insurance, and any property management fees. After you deduct all of these expenses, what’s left over is typically called your net operating income.

Debt-To-Income Ratio (DTI)

When you apply for a real estate loan to help you purchase a new property, the lender is going to evaluate your debt-to-income ratio, also known as your DTI. This metric compares the amount of debt you carry to your monthly gross income. All real estate lenders are going to examine this ratio to make sure you can afford to purchase new property. By paying down some of your existing debt, you may qualify for more favorable loan terms. 

Find The Best Real Estate Investments For Your Needs

If you keep these investment terms in mind, you will have an easier time evaluating your prospects. That way, you can figure out which real estate investments can help you maximize your return. Keep in mind that you do not have to go through this on your own. There are professionals who can lend a helping hand to those in need.
