  • Finding The Perfect Real Estate Manager
    Depending on the type and size of your real estate holdings, property managers will need to use different skill sets. If you have just a few apartments or single family homes that you are renting then your property manager will need to have very good communication and customer skills when dealing with your renters. If your real estate holdings are quite large then personnel management skills will become very important. You never want to get a property manager that is in the business only for the money.
  • The Governments Response to the Housing Crises
    What are They Thinking?
  • Beware of Real Estate Deals with Nothing Down
    If you are entering the real estate market with little or no money as a down payment because you do not have the cash and with the idea of flipping the home for a quick profit, think again. Mortgage companies that have offered real estate with nothing down deals have learned over the past few years that sometimes when a person cannot produce a down payment this is a warning sign of their ability to continue with mortgage payments down the road.
  • Using Real Estate Leverage for Wealth Building
    You could purchase one home for $100,000 cash and then rent it out for $1,000. This would give you a return on investment of 1 percent per month 1,000 / 100,000 = .01) or 12 percent a year. The average real estate appreciation since 1968 has been 6.34 percent per year. Some years it is less and some years it is more, but for this demonstration we will use 6 percent to keep it simple. Add 12 percent and 6 percent and you will have an 18 percent Return On Investment (ROI) for your $100,000. Not a bad return and much better than you would get at a bank or deposited in a CD.
  • Investing in South Texas Real Estate
    If there is any positive aspect to the foreclosure crisis that has gripped the U.S. in the past few years, it is that anyone interested in investing in real estate should be able to find appropriate properties at bargain basement prices. Homes can be purchased from banks at far less than their actual value, and business properties are also as affordable.
  • How Do 1031 Deferred Exchanges Work
    The IRS Code provides for a deferment of taxes on the disposal of a property if that property is replaced with the reinvestment of the proceeds from the sale into another property of equal or greater value. The arrangement of 1031 deferred exchanges provides for the idea that there has been no real equity from the sale of the property since it has been traded or exchanged for property of approximately the same value.
  • What Is a Real Estate LLC
    Note first of all that LLC stands for Limited Liability Company, and as the name implies, it limits the liability of the owner or owners of the company. A LLC would then allow for more than one person to become owners of that company without having to form a joint partnership and without one being the sole owner or proprietor of the business.
  • How Do Reverse Mortgages Work
    First of all, it's important to understand that reverse mortgages are advertised to seniors not because they are some type of scam but because they are only available to those 62 and over in the United States. Sorry, but you must be a senior to be eligible.
  • The Problems Caused by Sub-prime Mortgages
    The term "sub-prime mortgages" applies to those mortgages that were approved for those whom many banks would have turned down. This may include those with a spotty credit history or who earned less than most banks would think is the minimum salary requirement to be eligible for a mortgage. Some years back, many smaller mortgage companies sprang up with more relaxed requirements for those applying for mortgages, and the term sub-prime mortgages began to be used for these applicants.
