real estate investing: History Supports Greater Returns For Future Of Real Estate Investing - 11/20/12 11:25 PM
There is a significant cycle change in home ownership that is occurring, and I believe it supports stronger returns for real estate investing.
There is plenty of evidence to support a decline in home ownership rates, but there has not been much noise in the blogosphere or mainstream media on the consequent implication for real estate investing.
A quick review of historical home ownership rates makes for some logical conclusions about the future values and future cash flows that should be expected from a smart real estate investing.
Real Estate Investing And Home Ownership When we look at the historic rates … (6 comments)

real estate investing: The Five Critical Elements Of Safe Real Estate Investing - 09/07/11 03:17 AM
Most people looking for a real estate investment strategy are seeking two key things (besides a solid rate of return) when they approach the idea of investing in cash producing real estate. They want simplicity and they want safety.
It is very rare that I meet with somebody who wants to be actively involved in property management, and nobody wants to put their hard earned savings at risk. With these two points in mind, today's blog post (my 900th on the Tallahassee Real Estate Blog) will explain a real estate investment strategy designed for strong rates of return while remaining both … (13 comments)

real estate investing: Why You Can't Possibly Listen To What They Say Now - 02/23/11 11:58 PM
They say that now is the time to buy (if they have something to sell). They say two out of three aint bad. They say that “where there’s a will, there’s a way,” but I suspect that this is just a marketing conspiracy created by estate attorneys.
They say that the early bird gets the worm (but my son Max asked “what about the worm?”). They say that 80% of the work is done by 20% of the people (which I have disproved for the real estate profession in an analysis of closed sales two years ago). They say that “love … (38 comments)

real estate investing: What Type Of Homebuyer Are You? - 07/19/10 01:19 AM
 
There are some homebuyers sitting on the fence right now, wondering what will happen if they buy a home and home prices continue to fall. They are wondering if it is smart to buy now, or maybe they should wait until prices hit the bottom. I am getting a lot of questions from customers and readers wondering what to do, specifically with how I believe the Tallahassee real estate market will trend over the next few years.
Despite being a real estate expert in Tallahassee for nearly 20 years, I always hesitate to answer this question without quite a bit … (2 comments)

real estate investing: Real Estate Investors Have Four Options - 07/12/10 12:08 AM
Real estate investors have struggled over the past five years, as rising inventories have driven down home values and home rental rates. The chaos created by the booming housing market that ran from 2004 through 2006 still reverberates through our Tallahassee real estate community, and many struggling real estate investors are looking for ways to hang on.
Recently, long-time reader “Dave” wrote to me for advice about his investment properties, as Dave is much like everybody else in the Tallahassee real estate investment market:
I have 4 upside down investment properties, I am struggling to keep things afloat. 3 properties have … (4 comments)

real estate investing: Investments In Real Estate Showing Larger Yields - 07/07/10 03:18 AM
 
Here is some positive and exciting news for the Tallahassee real estate market! I am meeting with the founder of a European real estate investment trust next week in the hopes of bringing a large fund to Tallahassee.
As any long-term real estate investor will tell you, there are times when it is smart to sell real estate (i.e. 2006), and there are times in which a savvy investor will buy real estate. That time is upon us.
Currently, anybody can look at the Tallahassee MLS and find many properties that are selling at prices below which they could be … (2 comments)

real estate investing: Understanding Gross Rent Multipliers In Your Real Estate Investments - 06/16/10 01:39 AM
Recently, I stumbled across a national study that mirrors a measurement that I conduct from time to time, and that is comparing the sales price of properties to the going rental rates that these properties could generate as investments. This Gross Rent Multiplier is a neat little rule of thumb that will help you anticipate the potential for great long-term returns on real estate investments. The formula for calculating the Gross Rent Multiplier is
Market Value ÷  Annual Gross Income = Gross Rent Multiplier (GRM)
The reason that we measure activity in the Tallahassee housing market so diligently is to find signs … (6 comments)

real estate investing: How To Safely Invest In Real Estate Using The Cost Approach - 06/04/10 02:15 AM
 
I have been talking quite a bit to real estate investors who are anxious to start working their way back into real estate investments but want to make sure they go about it in a safe manner. Many have read my blog on How To Invest In Real Estate Safely and have wanted more examples. Quite often, they are in the buy and flip mentality, so I have to work with them to understand that “buy and flip” is a business, not just a real estate investment.
Most of my clients who invest in real estate want to do so … (13 comments)

real estate investing: How To Calculate (Return On Investment) In Real Estate - 03/04/10 01:30 AM
I was talking with a friend of mine yesterday about how I believe we are coming into the most significant financial period of change that will occur during my lifetime. The opportunities that are here now and will continue as we work to rid the market of the glut of homes will be seen one day as one of the most opportunistic periods in a 100 year window.
While there will be great opportunities to make returns beyond your wildest dreams, they will come with risks that will be much higher than most are willing to take. So what does a … (51 comments)

real estate investing: Real Estate Investment Returns 27% Annualized Over 17 Years - 08/26/09 12:38 AM
Last week, I wrote a blog about a great investment my brother Mike purchased in 1991 in Richview Park. If you did not get a chance to check it out, I would recommend you click here to read about Richview Park townhomes as the lead-in to this real estate investment analysis. He has since provided me all of his operating data since the day that he purchased his townhouse in Richview Park.
As a quick summary, we have seen property values grow in Richview Park over the past 17 years, though prices have softened in the past two years. The following … (4 comments)

real estate investing: Where Does The Real Estate Investor Stand In The Bailout Line? - 12/28/08 05:55 AM
 
The Tallahassee Real Estate Blog has always received a good amount of its readership from investors in the Tallahassee real estate market due to the fact that we report real market data, not just opinion and hype of the market. Recently, I made a conclusion that an important factor in the real estate market recovery will be the treatment of loans for real estate investors.
With the credit markets tightening and foreclosures and short sales being seen at all time highs, it is very important for our economy that we attract investors into the real estate market. Think about this … (2 comments)
