Earning Money from Your Property

Posted: 28 Sep 2010 09:50 AM PDT

As the economy is not in its perfect condition, one of the best possible income generating businesses can be seen on property investments.  When the whole nation experienced an economic downturn, this has also pulled down the people's finances.  Good thing there were credit or loan companies that was able to back them up, but unfortunately, this option turned out to be not applicable for everyone.  Those that were not able to obtain a loan have no choice but to rent a home.  This is where the idea of property investment entered the picture.

To rent out a home seems easy, but it actually involves a lot of tasks, such as:

1.      Choosing the right tenant to occupy your property

2.      Advertisements

3.      Background checking

4.      The collection of monthly rental

5.      How to politely evict an occupant in case of non-payment

6.      Maintaining the condition as well as the cleanliness of the home

If you are overwhelmed with the many tasks that a landlord should do, you can just hire individuals that are experts on this field and let them do all of these for you.  But this doesn't mean that you leave them all the work for you also need to have a major participation, and that's monitoring all the activities and transactions.

When wanting to be in the business of property investment, you have to see to it that you purchase a property that is in good condition.  You also must know all the information that you need to know about the property to avoid any problems in the future.  Like, for instance, the seller says that all the foundations of the home are in great shape then suddenly it collapses.  My point is that you have to do a thorough inspection of the house before finally deciding to buy it and eventually renting it out.

There is also a need for you to give a great consideration on the location of the property.  If you have a property that has a strategic location, I assure you that you will have a good business.

You might also want to consider getting a property with separate individual units that can accommodate several families.  This is more profitable than merely getting one house.  Let's say you have 6 families that occupy your units and each unit is rented out at $400.  This, therefore, means that you will be collecting $2400 per month.  But if you are only renting out one house at $1200, you obviously have a lesser income.

Foreclosure properties are also a good option for it absolutely costs less.  In most cases, these properties can be acquired 50% lesser than the actual market value of the house, which saves you a lot of money and gives you a bigger income.

Design of the house was dominated by the client's affinity for blue color. It was incorporated in most of the dominating elements of the garden and the house. House of garden is a free standing addition to the modern house standing by the side.

In developing the garden, existing Red Oak and Elm trees were retained. It not only enlarged the garden but offered screening for privacy. The house is covered on three sides with rain screen systems while the south façade is glazed in frameless and insulated glass units incorporating two eight foot wide sliding glass doors.

Final touch to the architectural excellence is the connectors throughout the garden providing transition from the street to the house. { Cunningham Architects }

How to Buy a Home and Sell It for Profit

Posted: 28 Sep 2010 03:52 AM PDT

Do you want to enter into a business that involves buying and selling of homes?  Do you know how to find a great deal and earn profit?  There sure are a lot of ways in which you could maximize your profit.  They may seem very difficult to understand at first, but when you'll get used to it, you will eventually enjoy doing this kind of business.

The first things that you need to consider when putting a price on the home that you're selling are your remodelling expenses, interest incurred on loans, utility expenses, maintenance costs, repairs and finance cost.

There are many people who are into the buy and sell business that show aggressiveness in purchasing properties that are being auctioned in court rooms.  By merely looking at the low value of the property and not taking a look at the actual property is not a very good idea because you might find yourself at the losing end.

You must make it a standard operating procedure to have a peek at the homes before deciding to bid.  By doing so, you will be able to determine the bid that can still make you earn some profit.  This will also allow you to assess the cost of the repairs and improvements.  After visiting a home that is up for bid, find out its market value based on the homes that were sold in the area so that you will have an idea how much it really costs.  If you have such data, you will instantly know if you will gain from it or not.

Before selling the home that you've purchased from an auction, it is recommended that the property undergo home inspection.  Doing this will increase the value of your home.  In a home inspection, all the problems in and out of the home will be pinpointed and you should act on them accordingly to avoid any problems in the future especially when you're already in the course of selling it.

As much as possible, when you want to remodel your home, you must hire a professional instead of doing it on your own.  This shall get the job done faster and better.  See to it that the remodelling will not take that long for it will just lessen your profit.  If you want to sell the property fast, you must make your price lower than most of the properties offered in the market.
