PURCHASE PHOENIX REAL ESTATE USING ONES SELF DIRECTED 401K RETIREMENT FUNDS
The American economy continues to grow at a slow pace. Many Americans with cash have put their reserves into money market accounts only paying 1% return on their money. More and more people are looking at real estate as a viable alternative investment vehicle to create better returns on their money. One of my real estate investors paid $50,000 for a residential home. The renter is paying $800 per month in rent. That is a solid return for that investment. Are you getting these type of returns. It is time to get better educated when it … (0 comments)

GOOD MORNING HARRY! ARE YOU STILL WORKING FOR XXXXXXX COMPANY?
I received a call from one of my investors the other day asking if I still work for my present company. He said he has not heard from me in a while and would like to give me two more properties to manage. First, I was shocked that he would ask me this question since I just sent an Email with a question to him with a reply back. So, it got me thinking that Email is not enough to be in contact with clients.

They say the number ONE reason for investors getting out of the real estate market is because of tenant relations. Let's face it! There are three steps when it comes to real estate investing as follows
Acquisition Rehabbing Property Management All the real estate gurus make this process so easy. I have to admit that the first two steps are easier than the last step. The first two steps involve money going out of the investor's pocket. Now, the investor wants the money put back in his pocket. This comes from the tenant. Everything … (4 comments)

DOOR LEFT OPENED! IS IT OK I CHANGE THE LOCKS TO SECURE THE PROPERTY?
The number one reason for real estate investors to leave the business is tenant relations. I work with many investors who love to invest in Phoenix real estate. However, they give me the property management side of the business. Why? It is because they would rather pay me $60 per month than deal with the tenants on their own. Personally, I think it is a wise investment. I am better educated about the Arizona Landlord Tenant Act and the overall Phoenix real estate market compared to the … (5 comments)

PHOENIX RENT TO OWN HOW DOES IT REALLY WORK?
The banks have tightened up their purse strings by making that it more difficult for people to qualify for a conventional home mortgage.

We have created the Just Rent To Own Program for people who wish to obtain a rent to own home.

DO IT YOURSELF LANDLORD ACCEPTS PARTIAL PAYMENT DIRECT DEPOSIT
Real estate is a great way to obtain residual income when it is down correctly. I am in the property management business. Many real estate investors decide to manage their own property to have total control of their assets. OK-everything is fine until the tenant stops paying rent or pays partial rent. Does the owner accept partial rent or not? Sure, the tenant is good for it-right? That may not be the case. I have found that tenants know the local laws better than the landlords. Landlords are on an unfair playing … (2 comments)

HARRY IS MAKING A COURSE CORRECTION IN MIDYEAR ARE YOU CRAZY?
I see so many other real estate agents that want to do real estate solo. Why? Real estate is meant to be a team sport. We need other people involved in our business to be successful. One person can only do so much before that person maximizes production and becomes careless. Then, that person will start losing clients because the quality of work has been lost. How much can one person do before they crack under pressure? There are many REO agents that do it all themselves. So, this means … (8 comments)

I have to make another trip to the lockbox store to purchase more lock boxes as I continue to obtain more listings. I have decided to obtain more listings through short sale and fix and flip business. I had ten lock boxes at the beginning of this month. I have one left. I would say that is a pretty good month. Yes, I know the boxes cost $85 a piece. However, I believe it is worth the investment. It secures the key and allows my fellow Realtors to show the home with … (9 comments)

HARRY'S TOP FIVE WAYS TO IMPROVE CREDIT SCORE TO PURCHASE HOME
The credit market has been getting tighter over the last two years even since the real estate bubble. Banks are not issuing as many credit cards to people like they did five years ago. Credit card companies are decreasing people's credit line and/or shutting down the card without proper notification. Many people are upset over this practice because now you are dealing with a person's credit score.
We have all been issued a three digit number which determines our credit worthiness. My grandmother told me to pay my bills on … (4 comments)
