rentals: Selling a residential home with a uncooperative tenant – An easy solution
- 03/05/08 11:28 AM
Have you ever had a residential home that you have been using as a rental and now you want to sell? Then when you go to put the for sale sign up, you find out you have a tenant that doesn't want you to sell, and does everything in their power to keep it from selling? In my state you have to give the tenant 24 hours with a posted notice that you are going to be entering the property, then, if the tenant wants, they can still make it difficult for a buyer. They just leave the house a mess and … (7 comments)
rentals: Finding the right investment property for you
- 08/07/07 04:44 AM
Yesterday I met an investor at our condo conversion project that wanted to buy one as a rental. He was upset that the HOA dues and the interest rate his bank was going to charge were going to be more than he could charge for rent. I explained to him, that he may want to consider buying a home in another part of the city where the price of the home and rents collected would be closer together. He said he didn't want a house, because he would have to do all the yard work. I asked him if this was his first … (0 comments)
rentals: Renting to family is a bad idea!
- 07/11/07 05:36 PM
I presently have a property listed that had the worst possible renters, FAMILY! The situation was, the parents bought the property so their daughters could rent it back from them. So far so good. But the one of the daughters didn't pay the rent and damaged the property to the point that is nearly impossible to sell. They ruined the carpet, damaged the garage door and just left the place a mess. So now the poor parents had to dip into their retirement and go back to work at age 77. It is looking like the foreclosure will happen, if the bank doesn't allow a short … (14 comments)
rentals: Breaking through the glass ceiling with your rental properties
- 07/02/07 01:37 PM
Most investors who buy a rental property collect rent every month and sometimes even lose money. But, there is a better way and every two years you can even double your income. Some of the advantages of a rental are all the deductions. I have a way you can keep those deductions and charge a larger amount of a deposit that is equal to the monthly lease. If they break the lease, or are late with the rent, you get to keep the deposit no questions asked! Let me show you why my clients and I lease-option our properties instead of rent them … (3 comments)

- 04/19/07 09:44 AM
Why do most investors leave real estate within 1 to 2 years and then just give their investment property away for 60-70% of what they bought it for?

- 04/18/07 11:51 AM
Are you a jaded real estate investor? Did you buy that rental with dreams of never having to work again and living on an island? At first that rental property looked great, for six months you were getting rents on time, the home looked wonderful and your mortgage was being paid by someone else every month. Then came that day the first rental check didn't show and you call the tenant to see what is going on and their phone has been disconnected. You drive to the house and it has been thrashed and you don't even recognize it. Your first … (0 comments)
