EXPECT A CALL FROM MY BROTHER NEXT WEEK
It is another busy day in real estate. I wrote a recent blog post on TOP 5 REASONS WHY RENTAL UNITS STAY VACANT when it comes to using Realtors. I was inspired to write this blog post because a new real estate investor asked me this question when signing up with me for property management. He informed me that his unit had been vacant for five months and he could not under the reasons from his previous Realtor. Voila! Please read the informative post.
So, I have had his unit under management for … (8 comments)

PHOENIX FIX AND FLIP WHAT A DIRTY JOB - 02/26/12 08:06 PM

People tell me I am not the average Realtor. Well, I have strived not to be the average Realtor in the Phoenix real estate market. I pride myself on learning all facets of residential real estate for the past ten years. Many of you know that I love to Phoenix Fix and Flip Homes from the Arizona Trustee Sales. Now, I know not too many Realtors undertake this task because one must make a decision to purchase a home within 24 hours from start to finish.
Here is current picture of one of the homes that we purchased from the … (4 comments)

I AM NOT GOING TO PAY THE LATE CHARGES AND LEGAL FEES PHOENIX PROPERTY MANAGEMENT
We have more and more people investing in real estate. Again, there are three main parts when investing in real estate from my experience:
Acquisition Rehabbing the home Property management We can all agree that the first two steps go very fast. Step #3 requires a unique skill that many people do not possess. The landlord/tenant relationship can make or break a real estate investor. Everything is fine when the tenant pays rent on time each month. It is when the tenant stops paying rent for … (4 comments)

ANOTHER VIEW OF THE CITY DURING THE DAY

Here is a picture of downtown Phoenix from a different view. I went to the Arizona Science Center with my son on Friday for a class visit. I had a great time with my son. We spent the whole day learning about science and our soloar system. I have to admit that I took a little siesta during the Planetarium movie. However, the rest was well needed to keep up with my group of kids assigned to me.
So, we ended up on the top floor of this building. I took a … (0 comments)

DAD, WOULD YOU BE ABLE TO GO ON THE FIELD TRIP WITH ME? PLEASE
My son is in the third grade at Valley Academy Arizona public charter school. The school organized a field trip to the Arizona Science Center. I had a million things to in real estate that day. However, we all need to take time out for the special ones in our lives. It was my opportunity to spend a full day with my son and his classmates. So, I took the day off. Did my phone blow up? Yes!

HARRY WHAT DO YOU DO IN BETWEEN APPOINTMENTS? WE NEED TO MAXIMUM OUR TIME
HAPPY PRESIDENTS DAY 2012. It is just another word day for many of us. The kids are out of school. Plus, all government and banks are closed today. This is a great time to schedule viewings for properties with clients. So, I was able to book three showings in the same area today. However, I have two hours between each viewing. What does Harry do in his free time?

EYEWITNESS ARIZONA EVICTION PROCESS SHORT AND SWEET READY FOR NEXT RENTER

Here is a live shot of an Arizona constable assisting Properties R Us LLC to secure a rental since we obtained a judgment on the tenant for failure to pay rent. Then, he did not move on the date agreed upon court. So, we called in the writ to have the constable with us while we change the locks to secure the home for the next renter.
What if they leave their stuff behind? That is a great question. Then, we must store their items for 21 days at … (3 comments)

WOW I DID NOT KNOW YOU HAD GREEN POOLS IN ARIZONA!

Here is a picture of one of our lovely green pools that we have in Phoenix, Arizona. Are you ready to take a swim? Clearly! The tenant has neglected pool maintenance for quite some time. It is best to pay for the pool service as the owner to ensure the pool is being maintained. This pool will need to be re-plastered and pool equipment will need to be updated to have a functional pool. This is why it is vital to hire a property management company to avoid mistakes … (5 comments)

The Phoenix real estate market is starting to heat up, again. We have investors from around the world buying up the inventory as soon as it comes on the market.

DO I HAVE TO FILL OUT THE ONLINE APPLICATION BEFORE VIEWING THE RENTAL? I JUST WANT TO LOOK AT IT.
I talk to several people on a daily basis inquiring about my available rentals from online advertising. The Phoenix rental market continues to get stronger as more and more people continue to relocate to the Valley. Owners want their homes filled with qualified tenants as soon as possible to start cash flowing a property. No Problem! Easy? The beat goes on.
Here is the normal communication between the potential tenant and myself.

HARRY'S TOP FIVE REASONS WHY RENTALS STAY VACANT FOR A LONGER PERIOD OF TIME PHOENIX PROPERTY MANAGEMENT
I met up with an investor from California who wanted to hire me to manage his property. I spoke with him over the phone last week to learn more about his property and to set realistic expectations before signing up to be his property manager. He had very simple realistic expectations. All he wanted was a good tenant paying monthly rent and to get a return on his investment each month since he was retired.
Well, I finally met him in person this weekend … (0 comments)

WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO BE A GOOD BLOGGER? THIS QUESTION WAS ASKED BY ANOTHER REALTOR IN MY OFFICE
Another Realtor in my office asked me the following question "What does it take to be a good blogger?" Wow!

IT IS BEST TO HIRE A PROPERTY MANAGER WHEN INVESTING IN REAL ESTATE TO SAVE MONEY AND PROTECT ASSETS
I have been doing real estate for the past ten years and I have seen many mistakes done by real estate investors. I believe that "REAL ESTATE IS A TEAM SPORT." It is much better when the real estate investor has a network in place when investing in real estate. The easiest parts of real estate investing are the acquisition and rehab of the home in my opinion. Now, the management of the property takes a certain skill set so be successful. … (2 comments)

ARE YOU LOSING MONEY WITH YOUR ARIZONA RENTAL PROPERTIES?
Too Much Leverage Common Sense Partners Due Diligence More Education Than Application Real estate has become a top discussion at many dinner tables and water coolers around the country. Everybody equates real estate and riches together. Real estate education is a multibillion dollar industry. However, only 2% of the people that obtain the education will put it into application. Real estate is a team sport. One cannot do this sport on their own based upon my experience.
So, I have developed the Real Estate and Beyond Network so people can just plug … (2 comments)
