Warren Buffett believes that the housing market will rebound this year. Signs of improvement abound. Existing home sale rose in January for the third straight month. (update: NAR just released data showing that the number of new pending home sales in January declined) Housing has never been this affordable in decades. More from Warren... Billionaire Warren Buffett said buying a home was the third-best investment he ever made, after the rings he bought for his first wife, Susan Thompson, and, after her death, his second wife, Astrid Menks. "For the $31,500 I paid for our house, my family and I gained 52 years of terrific memories with more to come," Buffett, the world's third-richest man, still lives in the house he bought in Omaha, Nebraska, more than five decades ago. He said home owne...

13 Extra Costs to be Aware of Before Buying a Home "The last thing you need are unbudgeted financial obligations cropping up hours before you take possession of your new home." Whether you're looking to buy your first home, or trading up to a larger one, there are many costs - on top of the purchase price - that you must figure into your calculation of affordability. These extra fees, such as taxes and other additional costs, could surprise you with an unwanted financial nightmare on closing day if you're not informed and prepared. Some of these costs are one-time fixed payments, while others represent an ongoing monthly or yearly commitment. Not all of these costs will apply in every situation, however it's better to know about them ahead of time so you can budget properly. Remember, b...

At the height of the Real Estate boom, required down payments were at an all time low. In June of 2006, the average down payment percentage on the purchase of a single family residence was 4%. If you had good credit and could breath, there were mortgage brokers who would provide you with a 100% loan with no documentation. All we needed was your name, address, and Social Security Number. That is about to change. The folks in Washington D.C. want  the return of the days of a minimum of 10% and an average down payment of 20% is swiftly approaching. The Obama Administration has called for 10% minimums on Fannie/Freddie loans. Sheila Bair, Chairwoman of the FDIC has stated that she flat out wants 20% down payments. Many banks are already there. An analysis of major metropolitan areas reveals...

  Whether numbers are your forte or not, there are certain ratios and calculations every property manager should understand. Following is a look at three key ratios that apply to your property management business, how to obtain them, and what they tell you.   1) Depreciation Depreciation reduces the cost basis of a property to reflect age and wear and tear. Note that depreciation is completed over a 27.5 year period and applies only to the actual building on the property, not the land. To calculate depreciation:    Purchase price - Land value = Building value -then- Annual depreciation = Building value ÷ 27.5   2) Operating Expense Ratio The operating expense ratio is simply the ratio between total operating expenses and the gross income of your property. This total amount shows how mu...

Happy Buyers and Sellers in Charlotte NC Waxhaw, a beautiful little town with tree-lined winding roads as well as quick freeway access, 4-lanes into Charlotte and close proximity to I-485, was the town of my clients' dreams.  One of my dear clients has family who remain in neighboring Weddington so, they decided to see what was available nearby.  Waxhaw is just a friendly community with award-winning schools and new and established shopping areas.  Waxhaw offers mostly single-family homes on lots of one acre or more.  There are very few condos or townhomes for sale in Waxhaw though.  My clients decided to take a look in the area for a new home and absolutely loved the homes for sale in Weddington that they found.  So, they listed and we quickly sold their home, which freed them up to l...

INVESTING IN REAL ESTATE First off, let me set you straight on one BIG, important aspect of real estate investing:   Ignore the media.   If you pay attention to what’s talked about, blogged about, written in newspapers, etc., you’ll never know what to think about real estate. You will be paralyzed by the mixed messages from media sources whose primary focus is not to inform, but to attract readers or subscribers so that they can collect advertising dollars.   For every article you read or news report you watch that says now is a good time to invest, you will see another that says the opposite. For every report you see that the worst is over, you’ll see another that says the worst is yet to come.   The best advice is to ignore the white noise of the media and consult with someone local ...

 Chances are you put quite a bit of effort into finding just the right tenant for your unit. Performing this due diligence protects your property, your financial well-being, and generally betters the chances that you've selected a tenant who will be a thoughtful neighbor to other tenants on your property. After a few months that tenant approaches you wanting to sublet his or her unit. What should you do? The NegativesHerein lies the biggest problem with subletting units - you are typically entrusting the tenant screening process to another party, essentially allowing a pre-existing tenant to select someone to occupy your unit on your behalf. The PositivesNo matter what a lease states, most property managers will at one point or another find themselves in a situation where a tenant simp...
