Are Real Estate Investments Profitable ?

Posted on April 1, 2015 by robertjrussellcompanies

Real estate or bricks and mortar to use an old phrase, has proven over decades to be an investment sector with profitable returns over time.

As with any investment, there are boom times as well as times where things are not so good due to factors affecting the economy.

Understanding the language used in real estate investment is crucial when making decisions that can affect your return.

Terms such as lease option or rent to own are two terms that are powerful investment strategies. What are the advantages of foreclosure?

Knowing these terms and understanding their potential for maximum returns will be crucial to your real estate investment experience.

You may have been exposed to marketing that espouses the ease at which you can get rich quick in property. This may entice you to get involved in real estate market, but bear in mind that property is an investment vehicle which increases in value steadily and if you’re not prepared for the long journey to profitability, you would be best advised to look at other income opportunities.

Now, a further explanation to the above real estate terms.

When looking to invest in property, most people opt for the residential niche – single dwelling houses, flats, apartments, condominiums, cottages.

But, if you’re prepared to get into property rentals, commercial buildings can also be equally as profitable.

Lease options are more common when investing in commercial property and is essentially a try before you buy option.

You can lease the building for a short term and after an agreed time if the lease proves profitable, you can execute the lease option and purchase the property.

The lease should only be executed if the property fits into your investment portfolio strategy for future revenues.

Rent to own may suit you if you have a residential investment property which you plan to sell on after a short period of time for a profit.

The rent to own option may fit both you as an investor and the tenant looking to get on the first rung of the property ladder.

With the rent to own approach, the investor gets rental income for the duration of the lease period, and have the option of selling to a ready buyer – the tenant – without the headache of having to find an agent and putting the house on the market.

The tenant will, of course, prove to be an assured buyer and they have an attachment to purchase.

HOA Planning

Posted on March 31, 2015 by robertjrussellcompanies

A manager of a seniors homeowner association once commented “We have to approach long range planning carefully around here. Many of our residents won’t buy green bananas.”

While it’s understandable that some folks may not relate to long range planning for practical reasons, the truth is that many, regardless of age, live “in the now”. This attitude is reinforced by the incredible abundance with which our country is blessed and a sense that no matter what happens, someone will be there to catch us if we fall.

Homeowner associations are based in the premise that sharing common property makes the unaffordable affordable. The framework allows ownership of parks, pool, ponds and other expensive amenities that few homeowners alone could support. In common wall communities, individual owners turn over their exterior building maintenance duties to the association and agree to pay a fair share of the costs. Sharing such costs reduces costs to the individual IF proper planning and execution are involved.

Reserve funding is an issue that frequently causes associations to stumble. The premise of reserves is that money is set aside systematically to pay for big ticket items like roofing, painting and street maintenance. Since these repairs or replacement crop up infrequently, when they do, the costs are significant. If there has been no systematic accumulation of money to pay for them, guess what? Special Assessment Time!

Special assessments are the product of poor planning. They penalize current owners who are unfortunate enough to live in the community when major costs come due. Prior owners skate on their obligations leaving current owners to hold the bag. Special assessments are particularly burdensome because they:

  1. Put some owners in an immediate financial crisis.
  2. May be uncollectible if an owner’s equity is small.
  3. Are always politically unwelcome and,
  4. Pressure the board to defer needed maintenance to avoid the turmoil.

HOAs that fail to plan for major long range expenses typically do not handle day to day association business very well either. The two seem to go hand in hand. Those HOAs typically keep fees unrealistically low and, by so doing, services are starved, maintenance lags and curb appeal suffers. Curb appeal directly impacts market value of the homes so in a real sense, owners are cutting their own throats.

There is a fundamental conflict of interest at work here: The long term financial and maintenance needs of the community conflict with the individual homeowner’s short term desire to hang on to the money a.k.a. the Green Banana Syndrome. A homeowner living in a stand alone home has the luxury or misfortune of doing business this way while a homeowner association will fail miserably if it does.

A reserve “philosophy” is a fundamental ingredient of HOA policy. The best way to solidify that philosophy is with the adoption of a Reserves Resolution. This resolution reflects the desire of owners to do long range reserve planning and funding. Such a resolution curbs the impulses of some boards “to raid the cookie jar” by misspending reserve money or failing to add to reserves when the plan clearly calls for it. A Reserves Resolution is a critical step toward proper care of the community.

Consider the negative effects of Green Banana thinking on your assets. If such is the case in your community, be aware that you are on a slowly sinking ship and need to take action before it’s too late.

Getting A Tenant in Your Investment Property

Posted on March 29, 2015 by robertjrussellcompanies

Today’s real estate market is challenged, to say the least. But as the recovery to continue slowly, getting and keeping good tenants for residential real estate properties is as important as ever. Robert J Russell, Licensed REALTOR in Texas gives some valuable investment advice for tenants.

How Property Clearance Services Can Benefit Landlords

Review Tenants First.

The first tip for landlords, according to Lee J. Schneider, is to review each potential tenant carefully. Check credit history, job references and previous landlords. Screen tenants to make sure they pay rent on time, is respectful of your property, gets along well with neighbors.

Use Written Agreements.

Once a tenant is selected, the second landlord tip is to make sure you agree to a written lease. This should include all the specific details such as how you handle tenant complaints, repair problems, note that you must give the tenant in the apartment entered, terms of the lease or rental agreement.

Complete Regular Upkeep

Maintain and repair the property promptly or as necessary. Not doing this risks pushing away good tenants, and could result in losses if the tenants decide to withhold rent until the problem is resolved.

Create a Safe Environment

Lee J. Schneider recommends maintaining a safe environment or apartment is and important tip for landlords, so take steps to keep it that way.

The 12 Step Program for Buying Life Insurance

Posted on March 28, 2015 by robertjrussellcompanies

You’re the sole breadwinner whose income keeps your family afloat, a parent with young children, or you’re helping your kids pay for college. Regardless of the stage of life you’re in, buying life insurance is a way to help cover your family’s costs in case of your untimely demise.

Let InsurancePricedRight.com help you find affordable life insurance now.

Although a wide range of life insurance options are available, one of the most popular is term life, which covers you for a certain length of time, such as 10 or 20 years, and compensates your loved ones if you die during that time.

While price is certainly a major consideration when you’re looking for life insurance, you also need to be sure the company you choose is financially sound and will be around through the years, says Marvin Feldman, president of the non-profit Life Happens, formerly known as the Life and Health Insurance Foundation for Education (LIFE). “You don’t want to buy something you can never get serviced.”

Like so many other decisions these days, good starting points are searching online and seeking recommendations of reputable life insurance companies from your circle of friends and consumer reviews, Feldman says.

Once you’ve got your choices narrowed down, you can start looking for the policy that offers you the best coverage at the best price for your own personal situation. Typically you can figure out how much life insurance you need by adding up your debts — your mortgage, your credit card balances, car payments — so you have enough coverage for your survivors to pay them off. You also need to account for replacing your salary and for future expenses, such as college tuition.

When you’ve determined that, you can follow these tips to help you save on your insurance premiums.

1. Shop around. Never rely on the price quote of just one life insurance provider. By shopping around you’ll find the company that offers the best price for your age and health that will cover your needs. Comparing quotes online is an effective strategy, but be sure to give accurate information. Your lowest quote can be used as a price point from which to work when finding the best policy with affordable rates.

2. Buy when you’re young. If you purchase life insurance when you’re young, you’ll pay far lower premiums than if you wait until you’re older to buy. This can save you a significant amount of money over the decades.

3. Avoid guaranteed policies with no medical exam. You may be tempted to skip the medical exam when deciding what type of policy to buy — but don’t. Typically “guarantee issue” policies are for people in poor health who have trouble finding insurance companies willing to take them on as a high risk policyholder. No-exam policies are more expensive than standard life insurance policies and often pay out less to your beneficiaries. Even if you have a medical condition, you are likely to get better rates by taking an exam and purchasing a standard issue policy.

4. Don’t come up short. Don’t try to save money by purchasing a policy for fewer years than you really need. If the term of your policy is up in 20 years and you want to renew it, you’ll pay higher rates because the premiums are tied to your age. Buying a short-term policy and renewing it repeatedly, isn’t a prudent way to save money – you’re better off with a longer term policy.

5. Maintain your health. “It’s always better to buy life insurance before your health becomes an issue,” Feldman says. “If you wait till you really, really need it, it may be too late to buy it.” Or if you are able to obtain it, you’ll pay a higher price. But you’re not stuck with higher rates forever if you can improve your well-being and keep it going for at least a year. Once you have a policy, if your health improves, say you quit smoking or your cholesterol or blood pressure levels are back at healthy levels, ask for a rate reconsideration.

6. Consider your medical conditions. If you do have a medical condition, you’ll find that some life insurance companies may be more willing to offer you coverage than others, Feldman says. One provider may offer a better rate even if you have diabetes or a heart condition than other companies will.

7. Look where you work. Check to see if you can purchase group life insurance beyond what your employer provides as an employee benefit. It’s typically inexpensive, but it might not be enough to meet all your needs. In that case you should consider purchasing additional coverage at work from the insurer that offers the group coverage, beyond that the employer pays for. . You may also want to buy an additional policy on your own in the regular marketplace as benefits are limited for group life policies and that coverage will end if you leave your company.

8. Bundle up. Insurance experts recommend bundling your coverage, so you might decide to purchase your homeowners insurance and auto insurance with one company, and receive discounts on your policies. You also might be able to bundle your life insurance with other types of insurance. Feldman says you won’t get a break on your life insurance premiums, but you could receive discounts on your other policies, such as auto insurance.

9. Round up for coverage amounts.. Life insurance companies have “break points,” so even if you figure you need $425,000 worth of insurance, you’ll typically get a better rate if you buy $500,000 worth of coverage.

10. Round down for age. When it comes to age, be sure to buy when your age will “round down.” For example, if you are going to be 40 at the end of December, buy a policy in the first six months of the year when your age will be rounded off at 39.

11. Join the club. If you’re a member of a group or an organization, such as your university alumni association, you might be eligible for a discounted group life insurance policy.

12. Pay your bill in one yearly installment. Some insurance companies charge fees for monthly payments, so once you find a policy you want to purchase, ask if you can save money by paying annually. Typically, the fewer payments you make, the less you spend on premiums.

Your Mortgage Refinance News

Posted on March 27, 2015 by robertjrussellcompanies

The market has never been better to refinance your mortgage.

Sure, that’s a bold statement to make but consider that interest rates are at an all-time low, newly-passed legislation is forcing some of the biggest lenders to help certain borrowers get out of debt, and the economy is showing slow, but steady improvement.

56529167

But even with all that good news, it’s still hard to get approved for mortgage refinancing.

Why?

Because lenders still have very strict standards, and property appraisals are often lower than homeowners anticipated.

So, what can you do to ensure that you approved on your refinance?

  1. Be honest with your lender

If you cannot make your monthly mortgage payment, tell your lender. Banks don’t like foreclosures any more than homeowners do, and they’re going to be far more likely to help someone who is honest with them.

  1. Do your homework

Just like when you initially applied for a mortgage loan, bring all necessary paperwork with you — like pay stubs, tax returns, W2s, credit card bills, and bank statements. That way, you can speed up the process AND show your lender you’re responsible.

  1. Crunch the numbers

If you aren’t having trouble paying your mortgage — and you simply want to take advantage of lower interest rates — refinancing is a great option. But it’s not perfect for everyone.

Before you go through the refinancing process, see how much it’s going to cost you. Remember, new loans typically include several thousand dollars in closing costs. Experts say you should only apply for a refinance if you can recoup the closing costs within 18 months.

Also, only accept a refinance if you can improve your interest rate by 0.5% or more.

  1. Ask a realtor for an estimate

Instead of paying for a formal appraisal, ask a trusted real estate agent to estimate the worth of your house. It’s a cost effective way to determine if it’s a smart financial decision for you to refinance.

If you pay for a formal appraisal, it’s unlikely that the lender will be able to use that price in your actual paperwork, so they’ll order another one — meaning, you’ll end up paying for two appraisals.

  1. Ask if you qualify for any money from the National Mortgage Settlement

Earlier this year, the Attorney General announced that the federal government and 49 states had joined forces in a settlement with the country’s five largest mortgage loan companies. That settlement totaled $25 billion for distressed borrowers — including at least $3 billion in refinancing relief.

The hope is that by helping more homeowners obtain a lower interest rate through a refinance, there will be fewer foreclosures in the future. Your lender will be able to tell you if you qualify, so it never hurts to ask.

  1. Shorten the term of your loan

By shortening the term of your loan, you can save thousands in the end.

If you initially had a 30-year, fixed-rate mortgage, and you’ve already made five years of payments, ask for either a 25-year or 20-year mortgage this time around.

Yes, your monthly mortgage payment will be higher — but by paying off your debt sooner, you’ll pay less interest over the duration of the loan.

  1. Transfer your assets to a lender

Banks have been stingy in recent years when it comes to approving mortgage refinancing, so try swaying their opinion by becoming a loyal customer. If you have assets elsewhere, open an account at the institution where you’d like to refinance your mortgage. By depositing a large sum of money into their bank, it shows you trust them with your financial future.

Mortgage Loans for People with Bad Credit

Posted on March 25, 2015 by robertjrussellcompanies

Being hindered by a low credit score used to mean that lenders were reluctant to approve any loan applicants. But with the availability of mortgage loans for people with bad credit, disappearing.

home-loans-information-12

The fact is that a variety of lenders, especially online lenders, are willing to grant large loans to applicants with poor credit histories.

The risk is not actually as major as it seems, with many honest people having been caught out by the economic crisis of recent years. These individuals may eventually

recover and rebuild their financial status, but this takes time. Lenders recognize that part of the process is taking on mortgages, personal loans, auto loans and other forms of credit in order to repay. So, by approving loans to them, they are helping individuals to recover.

Of course, the thing about mortgage loans is that they are extremely large loans, but there are criteria that lenders use to accurately judge the risks of granting such amounts. Happily this does not include the credit score.

The Role of the Credit Score

The exact role that a score has can be confusing. This is mainly because, even with terrible scores, a mortgage loan for people with bad credit can come at competitive interest rates. This seems to be something of a contradiction when the general rules of bad credit, and how they are applied, are considered.

Usually, the credit score dictates the interest to be charged on a loan – the higher the score, the lower in the rate; and the lower the score, the higher the rate. This means that, while approving loans is not dependent on the score, it is dependent on the effect the score has on the size of the monthly repayments. Too high can mean the deal is deemed not affordable by the lender.

But the arrival of the Internet, and the changing significance of poor credit, means that lenders are not so strict. What is of much more importance when considering a mortgage loan application is whether or not the income is large enough, and the source of income reliable enough.

Securing Low Interest Rates

Even with less significance placed on credit scores, a mortgage loan for people with bad credit needs to be approved. There are some things that keep the interest rates as low as possible too. Improving the score is one, but there are other factors that suggest the risks of defaulting are minimal.

Improving the scores comes down to faithfully repaying existing loans and debts, thereby showing that approving loans to this applicant is not a bad idea. A series of small personal loans, like payday loans, might be taken out and repaid quickly to establish a positive pattern. Or perhaps a larger consolidation loan used to replace all those existing debts.

However, showing that an income is secure and is more than enough to cover any mortgage loan repayments is equally effective. This might be done by providing evidence of long-term employment, not contract work, and showing that at least 40% of the income is available for mortgage payments.

Find the Right Lender

But the most effective way of getting the lowest interest rate possible is to find the right lender. This usually means taking to the Internet, where mortgage loans for people with bad credit are in plentiful supply.

These loans can offer a structured repayment scheme on a mortgage loan that saves money in the long term.

Finding the lender might take a little time, but thanks to comparison sites the task is much easier. However, before approving loans these lenders also need to know the applicants tick the necessary boxes, so have your details on hand. Remember to check out the lender too with the BBB.

Real Estate is a Lifetime Investment

Posted on March 24, 2015 by robertjrussellcompanies

It is not just about the money that is invested, it is the rate at which property is gaining its price with each passing day. It is necessary that such assets are kept for the future, as a safe investment. With the upcoming tourism industry in Spain and with the current crisis that is going on, this might be the best time to buy a property in Spain.

tumblr_inline_mi4jk3CJsy1qz4rgp

Property investment is an easy option right now in Spain and probably one of the safest options. It is not just a tourist destination; Spain has one of the most pleasant climates with the sun shining almost throughout the year.

The destinations that have the best locations in Spain are the areas with the most chances of increase in the price rates. These are property at Costa Blanca, property at Benidorm, property at Moraira, property at Orihuela Costa. Such properties at a tourist spot that have the best climatic conditions in the Spain are worth every penny. These properties are supposed to have a great resale value in near future. There are many famous personalities who show eagerness to buy property in Spain. Won’t it be a luxury to to have a hot cup of coffee or cold beer in our own beach house?

You can always buy such properties on mortgage as well if you can’t manage the whole payment. There are always loan options that can help you out with it. Buying a property right now is a major advantage for the investors, as the crisis has lowered the land prices by a sufficient margin. Buying a property as an asset is a way for saving your income where you are guaranteed to receive appreciation with passing time. There are many such companies who sell the properties at very affordable rates. But it is very essential for each individual to go through the company profile and check regarding any commissions that they take or not, because there are firms who work without commissions and the brokers working for them have a genuine background which will rest assure you against any scam.

It is necessary that you check the property personally visiting it before finalising. There are agencies that even provide to and fro tickets for checking out the property along with the stay.

Normally the tourist places during season timings are very expensive as during vacations, corporate people as well as the casual travellers plan relaxation trips. This will result in a huge rush at the top destinations and in result will increase the cost of stay. Hence it is always a better choice to buy a property as a holiday destination and if not it is always going to be a safe investment for the future. The appreciation that one receives from investing in real estate, is a big draw for any individual and hence it has been a major choice for investment for everyone.
