What to Do With Severely Under Rented Properties (without losing all your tenants)

11/24/2022

Annual rent increases usually go along with inflation thereabout and thus, aren't a big deal. But sometimes you have severely under-rented properties, typically on inherited tenants in properties you've bought. And nowadays, the rental market has gone so crazy almost every property is under-rented to one degree or another.

So how do you go about raising the rent on such units? Should you bring it to market immediately or slowly increase it over time. Well, it kind of depends. Please let us explain on what it depends and how you should approach this sticky issue.

Never Argue with a Tenant Again. Do This Instead

11/17/2022

Comments

Most property managers burn out after a few years. It's just really tough dealing with angry tenants, whether their anger is irrational or you actually done screwed up.

But there is way to resolve tenant disputes in a productive manner. It involves working as a team to defeat a common enemy and find the best solution possible, albeit most certainly not necessarily what they want.

2022 is NOT 2008 (and how to invest in a volatile real estate market)

9/1/2022

Comments

Why 2022 is not 2008.

And how to invest in a volatile real estate economy.

Here is my presentation for the Midwestern Association of Real Estate Investors from April 11th, 2022. And while the market is highly unlikely to crash, a recession is likely coming and inflation is likely here to stay. So there are plenty of dangers ahead.

Zestimates are Fake | Evaluating the Accuracy of Zillow

8/25/2022

Comments

For better or worse, Zestimates have become synonymous with real estate values. For those who rely on Zillow, that's bad news because they are by no means strictly accurate.

But it's also unwise dismiss Zillow and their Zestimates out of hand. Instead, it should be seen as a time-saving sorting tool.

We'll explain...

How Should Real Estate Investors Respond to Rising Interest Rates

8/11/2022

Comments

Well, it was bound to happen. You can't have 8.5% inflation without interest rates climbing. So, the Fed finally announced they would increase interest rates a bit and the markets panicked. (Well, at least sort of.)

So how should real estate investors respond? First and foremost, learn the difference between real and nominal prices. Rates are still cheap historically speaking and when compared to inflation.

Why This Market is (still) Great for Housing Hacking... for at least a bit longer

8/6/2022

The real estate market is really, really hot right now. And that makes it very difficult indeed to find good deals. But that doesn't mean you can't do well in real estate. Indeed, this market is (still) great for new investors trying to get their first step in the door.

Because rates are so low, it's a great time to buy with a homeowner loan. And yes, despite having gone up recently, rates are still historically very low and below inflation, which shouldn't happen. Yes, it's hard to find a home to buy, but they are still out there. And homeowner loans, FHA or not, are fantastic. House hacking and buying to live in but keeping the house as a rental when you move on, are great strategies. And with low rates, they are even more attractive.
