Real Estate Investing – YEAH, rents came in!

I received Rent Check, Called up my Friends and told them to meet me at the local Pub!

Real Estate investing requires you to be a responsible person by understanding rental income. The value of positive cash flow and be responsible to where the rent money needs to be allocated.

I met a handy man a couple years ago who invested in foreclosures 2 years ago. He was selling one of his investment properties, just happened to be a 4 plex. I immediately asked him one simple question. Can you guess what question I asked?

Here it is, What is your monthly cash flow?

Now, the cash flow number can change depending upon how much money the investor put down on the property and interest rate or how the investor’s loan is structured. It’s critical to dig deep into the answer.

Remember, Cash if King!

He told me he pockets $1,100.00 and uses this money to pay his mortgage payment. Well immediately, I started to probe him for other questions. He never did answer my other questions but all he did was small talk or walk around my questions. I recently found out he lost all of his properties in January to foreclosure.

You ask WHY, I will tell you why.

He never repaired his properties to a living standard. The work was completed but done beyond satisfactory. The city was fining him for violations and he never did complete the work to the cities requirements.

2^nd reason, This particular investor took his rental income and went down to the local Pub. Folks if you don’t pay your creditors they will come after you for your assets. Even though real estate prices have dropped dramatically, real estate is still worth a better price than your old furniture or rusty old car.

This particular investor was uneducated in Cash Flow and the banks took back all of his real estate assets.

Property Management is a critical skill investors are not willing to learn and invest and time or money. This area alone will either make you a millionaire or make you poorer than you already were prior to real estate investing. Which one do you choose?

Invest in John Dessauer’s Property Management course to keep your monthly cash flow coming in month after month. Without it, the banks will be calling you

Real Estate Investing - Selling Cash Flowing Properties

In today’s unstable real estate market with masses losing their jobs and their homes it’s important to remember WHY people invest in real estate.

The number 1 reason, Sandy and I invest in real estate is cash flow. If the single family house, duplex or tri-plex does not cash flow then we RUN. When I talk about cash flow, I am talking after ALL bills are paid you have money left over from the rental income! I will say this again, after ALL bills as taxes, insurance, water, heat and repairs on the property are paid for any money left is Positive Cash Flow!

If you are buying investment property with Positive Cash Flow then its important for you to SELL your investment property to other investors so the property cash flows. Everyday, people ask me, Cindy how do I sell my property to cash flow for the investor to buy my property and still make a profit on it?

Answer: If you purchased the property correctly in the first place then you will not have any issues selling the property to another investor with positive cash flow.

Remember, when you buy an investment property, someday you are going to sell it. If it’s larger than a single family house then chances are an investor is buying the property as an investment. Many first time investors will buy a duplex and live in one side while the tenant pays the mortgage. However, even in this situation, when you market the duplex, it needs to be marketed as fully rented with Positive Cash Flow in order for the property to sell.

My partner and I sold our cash flow duplex to another investor and made a nice profit plus the investor purchased a cash flowing duplex.

Cashflow Cindy

P.S. Most investors buy property without having a clue or understand money or cash flow.  These are the duplexes and single family houses I buy for pennies on the dollar because these investors were too cheap to invest in a property management program.   John Dessauer offers an excellent program to teach you the meaning and better yet how to calculate positive cash flow.   Invest in a Property Management Course before you invest in Real Estate otherwise, I can assure you will purchase the property Wrong!

Real Estate Investing – Housing (Section Annual Review

Real Estate investing is a lot easier when you don’t need to run around the first of each month collection rent checks. Housing (Section allows you the ease of either receiving you rental check on the first of each month or having your check electronically deposited into your bank account.  As I’m noted for as cashflow Cindy; Housing provides cashflow to my rental units.    I bought my rental units to cashflow and cashflow they do!

However, by no means is this easy. Taking on a Section 8 tenant does require work on your part or your property management company from a landlord perspective.

Each year Housing (Section does require the tenant to have an annual review. The following is a list of items the tenant must present to their Housing Specialist. If the tenant does not provide the following information by a specified date then Section 8 will STOP payment of Section 8 tenants rent check. They instruct the Section 8 tenant the rent responsibility falls back on them.

Being a landlord; it is your responsibility to stay in contact with the tenant to confirm and instruct them if the following information is not provided by a specified date then their Housing Stops paying rent!

Assets – Current bank or investments statement

Income – Earned income, six to eight weeks of current check stubs; other income – a benefit noticed, bank statement or other available proof.

Expenses – Day Care – Receipt or statement from provider

Medical – 12 month printout from pharmacy or other medical provider, insurance premium notice

Copy of Federal 1040 Tax Return and Schedules

Housing (Section is a government funded program to assist people with their rent. In order to be approved for the program they are required to show a NEED to be on the program.

Section 8 Housing is work for the tenant and the landlord. However, if both parties work together it is a good program to assist families while they improved their financial situation.

Real Estate Investing – Can Section 8 Abate Rent?

Your Second Second 8 Inspection Fails!

Section 8 mails you a letter stating your next month rent check will be abated even though your lease expires in 2 months. (this means loss of rent; no money to pay your mortgage payment!)

It’s critical to follow all of housing rules and guidelines on inspection dates, times and repairs needed. Section 8 has strict rules and procedures and they must be followed. If they are not followed according to their specifications; Section 8 will abate your rent check!

Example) Lease expires Feb. 28, 2010

2^nd Section 8 Inspection failed; Reasons Listed Below:

1. Tenant didn’t clean the stove ( dangerous with too much grease; fire could start)

2. Smoke Alarm was not on Wall; (tenant took smoke alarm down and didn’t put it back up!) As a matter of fact she showed the smoke alarm to the inspector while he inspected the unit. However when she showed the inspector the smoke detector she flipped it over and noticed the batter was out of it because one of her children took the battery.

In this situation; Housing had the authority to abate the following months rent check. Even if it was the tenant’s responsibility to clean the stove and put the smoke detector back up on the wall.

Housing’s position is to verify that the regulations are abided by and not to decipher who is going to handle the repair. (That agreement is between the tenant and landlord.) So when housing does the re-inspection all they need to see is the repairs are made, and in this case they were not.

As far as the rental lease, that is a separate document and issue. The participation of the Section 8 program requires that units be kept to HQS standards at all times while assistance is being paid on the unit. Therefore the lease agreement for tenancy is a separate issue and does not prevent stoppage of payment for programs violations, and a failed re-inspection is a program violation.

Real Estate Investing – Time to Reflect

As the end of the year approaches it is time for you to reflect on 2009. As 2009 ends and another year begins it important for you to look back at your accomplishments and pat yourself on the back. It seems we are hardest on ourselves and have difficulty looking at ourselves and seeing the greatness that did occur in 2009.

It’s time to plan for 2010 or as many use the New Year’s Resolution. I prefer to write down all of my plans and implement a date behind each plan vs. using the phrase New Year’s Resolution as the New Year rolls in over 60% of New Year’s Resolutions fade and fade each day further into the New Year.

What plans do you have for 2010?

If you want to improve your health then you need to start a health plan. I enjoy kickboxing so I joined a health center that offers kickboxing and toning exercise classes last summer. You need to find out what kind of exercise you enjoy. Is it biking, swimming, running, kickboxing, soccer, baseball? We live in a world today that has clubs for every kind of sport imaginable so write your health plan today for 2010.

NO EXCUSES

If you want to improve your financial situation then write a wealth plan. I wrote a wealth plan 3 years to increase my financial net worth involving real estate investing. Once my plan was implanted in my mind then I went out an accomplished this plan within a one year time frame.

If you want to improve your monthly income then you need to write a plan to have residual income/passive income coming into your life. My partner and I started this plan last summer and are tweaking the plan along the way to accomplish our goal. April of 2010 will be a celebration for us for meeting our goal 1/3 of the way.

The point is you need to write plans for everything you want in your life. The more you write down your plans and accomplish them the larger your dreams and aspirations become. We live in the riches world and are lucky to live in the US however if you don’t take action none of your plans are going to happen. It does take action on your part to accomplish your plans.

Remember NO EXCUSES

With all things consider when a deal comes a long you may need to leap quickly! Cash is King and if you don’t have it you better know whom to call and get it quickly or someone else will make a quick $20K

The seller accepted my offer of $25k last Friday. However, the seller would only take my offer of $25 if I closed on Monday! Talk about thinking quickly on my feet.  This house is move in condition.  All updating has been done and seller maintained the property while living in it.   Heck of a Wholesale Deal!

Come to find out; the seller purchased the house under a land contract. He lost his job over one year ago and hasn’t been making the mortgage payments. He has until Monday to pay the owner of the house otherwise the house goes back to the owner.

All of my wholesale deals are done within 2-3 days time frame. It is a time of thinking quickly by running the numbers to confirm we are buying the house at a wholesale price.

Its amazing how these deals come out of know where after working a strict marketing plan and sticking with it! This is the critical step; put a marketing plan in place and everyday work on the plan. Sometimes you have to tweak the plan but keep moving forward. The plan does pay off eventually!

Within the last 2 weeks, I put 2 houses under contract and purchased a wholesale deal for $25K. I had a lull for a couple of months but implemented a marketing plan and everyday I am moving forward toward my goal of wholesaling 3-4 houses a month.

We are marketing the house to a first time home buyer.   The reason is we will get more money for it and it will move quickly because we are selling it under $70k.

In the profiting phase you will learn the different methods you can use to profit from these foreclosures and distressed properties.  There are many different ways to make a profit from real estate.  Different ways are rent and hold, fix and flip.  You need to decide what your are going to do with the property and this will affect your decision on what kind of property you are looking for.  For example, you want to buy your first home, you may want to first look at all the REO properties because usually they are free of all liens.   If you are looking for a quick flip, then pre-foreclosure and auction properties are good.  Either way, you have several strategies you can use to earn a profit after you have purchased a foreclosed property.

Real Estate Investing – The 4 P’s To Success

There are 4P’s to success in foreclosures. Plan, Prepare, Purchase, and Profit. Each is very important and should not be skipped.

In the planning phase you will learn how to find or located motivated homeowners who have distressed properties and who are looking for a way out of their problem. This can one of the most challenging steps in the whole system. Your ultimate goal is to find the good properties with motivated sellers who want to sell their property to you. Most of the guru’s out there will agree that the hardest part in real estate is finding the perfect property. It is a numbers game! You don’t get rich writing one offer. You must do it over and over again. You need to prepare yourself mentally to become a foreclosure warrior who will consistently fight to find good properties. It is very competitive out there, especially in the field of real estate. You have got to become passionate about this business and never give up. You may look at several properties before you finally find the golden one. It will become easier and easier as you get good at it.

In the preparing phase you will learn how to research the property thoroughly and decide if it is good. This is a very important step because your decision on buying the property will be based on all the research you do during this step. Make sure you do not take any shortcuts and thoroughly inspect this property. The last thing you want to do is end with a property that takes money out of your bank account. This is also the phase in which you will learn creative financing techniques and what you should know before making an offer or bidding on a property at the auction. Some beginning investors have a hard time believing that you can actually purchase properties with poor credit, no money and without a job. This is the beautiful part about real estate, it can become so creative. So creative that you can make a profit on a property and never own the property whatsoever.
