Is real estate investing coming back?
2008-05-05 14:27:00
I have been on the lookout for some new real estate investments during the last few months. Most of the time, I have been met with unrealistic prices and expectations from the sellers. They still dream of the good ol days of 2005, where they could pick a number out of the sky and watch multiple bids come in. But now, things seem to be slowly coming back to earth. Whether it be a short-sale, or more favorably a seller that just needs to get out of a property, prices are starting to get to the levels where investors can consider coming back in and establishing sound rental properties. Based on the dynamics of the still depreciating market, rehabbing may be a little ways off, but rentals are starting to look attractive. I looked at a few houses this weekend in the D.C. metro area and after running the numbers, there are a couple that will receive offers. Of course, they will not be at asking price. I still believe that offers should be at about 80% of asking price, depending on...

2008 Spring Real Estate Market
2008-03-13 18:51:00
For the past couple of Spring seasons, the real estate market has been in a slow, steady decline. Prices stopped rising at the breakneck pace that we have become accustomed to during 2001 - 2005. Based on that frame of reference, any reversal in appreciation started to look like the deal.But something seems different about the coming Spring of 2008. I am beginning to see price reductions unlike what has occurred in the past 2 years. It seems like the true reality of the real estate market is finally starting to sink in. I have witnessed price reductions of 25% to 50% of previous purchase prices, which was usually during 2005 - 2006. You may be wondering how a homeowner is able to take such a hit to unload a home. Well, it is not the homeowner directly taking the hit. These steep discounts have been due to what are called short sales. A short sale is when a lender agrees to sell a home at less than the mortgage balance, just to write-off the loss and avoid a costly foreclosu...

Jumbo Loan Rates Set to Fall
2008-02-16 19:35:00
Congress has just passed their economic stimulus plan that is supposed to put money in everyone's pocket so they can go out and boost the economy. This is the highlight of the plan, but it also covers another important provision that will be good news for homeowners and potential homebuyers. The conforming loan limit that is insured by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac is $417,000. Fannie and Freddie are the government companies that buy and package mortgage backed securities from banks. Any loan amount over $417,000 is considered a jumbo loan and is not insured by these entities. Ever since the subprime fallout, these jumbo loans have become expensive and average about 1.25 percentage points higher than conforming loans. Wall Street is very reluctant to purchase these securities since Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac does not back them. The stimulus plan will instate a temporary increase in conforming loan limits to about $729,750, depending on your location. This means that these highe...

2008 Refinance Boom May Be Looming
2008-02-02 16:45:00
With the slowing economy, talks of recession, the tick up in unemployment, and the volatile stock market, the 30 year fixed rate mortgage has slowly continued to drop. A couple of weeks ago, the Feds finally took steps to combat the signs of recession by cutting the Fed rate by a combined 125 basis points. Usually the Fed funds rate has little to do with fixed rate mortgages, but it usually does not take long for fixed rates to follow the trend. Long-term mortgage rates are already low and may go lower. Usually when the economy faces a possible recession, these rates drop. We all remember what happened to rates from 2003 ? 2005, after the 2001- 2003 recession. So, if history is any indication, there is a good possibility that rates can fall further. This is good news for potential buyers, but even better news for current homeowners with decent credit that want to refinance out of ARMs or higher rate fixed mortgages. Rates have not been this low in a long time, and it may be w...

Home Staging Helping Today's Home Sellers
2008-01-07 04:01:00
In order to sell a home in this market you must have a property that is in good condition and well priced. But one area that is often overlooked is presentation.Professional home stagers have been receiving more business and have helped increase the likeliness of a home selling. Prospective buyers want to be able to picture themselves in a home. A house with too many personal items or unique features will make it hard for a buyer to see themselves in the home. In order to cater to the variety of potential buyers, you should make your home as neutral as possible. This would include neutral furniture, paint, artwork, etc. You don't want to offend any prospective buyers.

2008 Real Estate Outlook
2008-01-07 03:55:00
Another new year has come and we are all looking forward to what it may have in store for us. This is true if you believe in New Year's resolutions or not. This may be especially true for all of the potential homebuyers out there. As most waited out the market shifts of 2007, 2008 may be the most favorable time than ever to dive into the market. There are currently some really nice deals out there, which has been absent from the market for a long time. Current home sellers are a bit anxious and the usual slowdown in sales that the winter months bring will accentuate this fact. As always, no matter what the sale price may be, it is always best to negotiate within reason. This goes for owner-occupants as well as investors. You must also be looking to hold the property for at least the next 4 - 5 years. This is definitely not the time to consider rehab projects if you are an investor. Good, solid long-term rentals would be a better strategy. Normally, real estate cycles las...

Simple Tips for Controlling Mortgage Cashflow
2007-11-20 01:57:00
Since we are in the middle of rising mortgage rates and potential foreclosures, I want to suggest a few ways for folks having cash problems to avoid potential disaster. The number one rule is not to close your eyes and ignore the problem that you are having. It is best to read the signs and address problems that you see coming down the road. The biggest mistake would be to allow yourself to make late mortgage payments. That will virtual eliminate about 90% of the solutions you would otherwise be eligible to receive. If you have an adjustable rate mortgage that you know will reset soon, pull out the paperwork and find out what new rate is due to adjust. Refinance ahead of time, because mortgage rates are pretty low right now. Also, if you have consumer debt (e.g. car loans, credit card balances, etc) that has a high interest rate (8% - 20%), you can consider paying off those loans with a cashout refinance. This only works if you have enough equity in your home. This strategy...

Basics of a Reverse Mortgage
2007-11-20 01:53:00
Reverse mortgages are starting to grow in popularity. In general the borrower must be over 62 years of age. This type of mortgage allows the borrower to receive monthly cash payments by tapping into their home's equity every month. The mortgage interest that the borrower will usually pay is added to the balance of the reverse mortgage. So the debt against the property increases each month. Most reverse mortgage programs do not have income qualifications. A retiree with no income can qualify. The interest varies and can fall between 6 percent and 9 percent. The closing costs for a reverse mortgage are generally higher than with a regular mortgage refinance $15,00 - $20,000). The lender may also may keep the appreciation accrued in the home once the borrower passes, even if this appreciation is more than necessary to cover the remaining mortgage balance.In my opinion, reverse mortgages are only good for individuals that do not have an income. If a retiree has some sort of ...

Buyer's leverage increases
2007-10-18 04:08:00
We have been in a buyer's market for more than a year now. Since the buyer's market began, buyers have gained leverage over sellers in negotiations. Over the past few months that leverage has grown even more substantial because sales have continued to decline while inventory has risen. The problem now is that as inventory rises, sellers have put a lot of "junk" houses on the market. These houses that are in poor shape are usually listed at or close to the price of homes that are updated. Many of these "junk" homes are unrenovated investor properties or foreclosures. Since most homebuyers look at the cheapest homes in a neighborhood first, they are forcing the owners of updated homes to list their properties at or close to the price of the homes in poor shape. This again plays to the advantage of buyers that are actively looking. In my opinion, this winter holiday season will be the most optimal time to buy this year. This should continue until about February of 2008. We ...

Sellers must disclose defects in "as-is" sale
2007-10-18 04:01:00
In this currrent market, there are a lot of properties listed as "as-is" sales. Many buyers are not clear on the meaning of "as-is" and what it may imply. Selling "as-is" does not protect a seller who lied about the condition of the property or who concealed huge faults that the buyer could not see. They must still disclose "known" defects in the property, they are just not obligated to make any repairs before the sale is finalized. When buyers take property in as-is condition, they acknowledge that they realize what repairs are needed and have offered below market pricing. But they have not agreed to accepting hidden defects in the condition of the property.

Refi your Subprime ARM into an FHA Loan
2007-09-12 15:43:00
Last week, President Bush introduced a plan called the FHA Secure Initiative. This plan will enable homeowners to refinance various types of ARMs that have recently reset, and/or are delinquent into FHA loans. A Federal Housing Authority (FHA) mortgage is a government insured loan. Since it is backed by the government, the rates and terms are usually much more favorable than a regular conventional or subprime mortgage. These loan also have FIXED rate 30 year terms. This is important news for homeowners out there that have ARMs that are due to reset or are currently struggling to pay the higher interest rate on ARMs that have already reset.Here are the important points of the program:- The mortgage being refinanced must be a non-FHA ARM that has reset.- The mortgage payment history, during the 6 months PRIOR to the reset must show no late payments.- Late payments made after the loan has reset ARE acceptable.- In many cases homeowners may wrap late mortgage payments into the ne...

Where did all of the Mortgages Go?
2007-09-12 15:40:00
The subprime crisis has been all over the news for the past few months. Every week, it seems like a handful of former high-flying mortgage companies are either shutting down operations or laying off numerous employees. This has caused a ripple effect throughout the industry and it is now harder than ever to acquire a home mortgage. Many programs that once ruled during the real estate boom are now no longer available. Many lenders are also increasing minimum credit score requirements and getting rid of "state-income" and "no-doc" loans. Nowadays the majorities of buyers have to possess good credit, low debt to income ratios, a healthy down payment, verifiable income, and be looking to finance less than $417,000. There are still many good programs out there but you really need to search hard for them. The best advice for someone looking to refinance in the near future is to pay your mortgage on time. Late mortgage payments (within the last 12 months) in this market will almost g...

Market Update
2007-07-17 05:13:00
It has been a couple of months since I have sent out a newsletter. I have been out of the country for a while and just returned last week. From what I see the housing market is still slow, which of course is beneficial to potential buyers. The National Association of Realtors has pushed back the potential for price recovery to the 2nd quarter of 2008. There is an wide selection of homes available on the market today. My website, www.housewealthy.com covers many techniques that buyers can use to negotiate the best price in this market. With historically low mortgage rates this summer and sustained job gains, it could be a good time for first-time buyers with long-term plans to test the housing waters. Is Your ARM hurting?More than two million subprime adjustable rate mortgages (ARMs) are about to reset at much higher rates in the next few months. Many buyers took out 2 and 3 year ARMs in 2004 and 2005 which offered low "teaser" rates. Once these mortgages reset, their paym...

This Week's Carnival Of Real Estate Investing
2007-04-30 16:30:00
This is my first time hosting the Carnival of Real Estate Investing and I am pretty excited to be participating. I went to the Penn Relays in Philadelphia this weekend to watch some of the best Track and Field athletes compete in sprints, field events, and distance running. As I watched the events, I couldn't help but find a link between real estate investing and the races.I watched the sprints and noticed that the athletes trained to give a maximum effort for 10 - 45 seconds and then the event was over. This is similar to the real estate rehabber. They acquire a property, renovate it for 1 year or less and then try to sell for maximum profit.The field events showcased athletes that combined athletic ability with very specific technical skills. This is similar to the real estate investor that specializes in short sales or preforeclosures. They rely on learning specific techniques and approaches to create their success in real estate. The long distance runners train hard to i...

Possible ARM Swapping????
2007-04-21 23:06:00
I recently read an article on Money Magazine's website that addressed the possibility of the government and lenders allowing some borrowers with ARMs to swap them out for fixed rate mortgages. Speakers at a Congressional hearing of the House Financial Services Committe called for restructuring ARM loans to help solve the subprime crisis. A Congresswoman from Ohio (which apparently leads the nation in the foreclosure rate) recommended the following three-prong approach:- Establish a rescue fund for short-term problems casued by illness, layoffs, or other one-time events.- Create a bond fund to pay for switching borrowers out of unaffordable ARMs.- Refinance loans for victims of predatory lending.These measures also calls for lenders to agree to modify the terms of existing loans to prevent the higher costs of foreclosing on properties. This suggestion may work because it costs more to foreclose on a property than to accept lower returns on existing investments. According to the a...

MyCommunity Mortgage: A Subprime Alternative
2007-04-11 21:07:00
MyCommunity Mortgage s: which are sponsored by Fannie Mae and is designed to assist low and moderate income families, public service employees, and disabled people to realize their dream of owning an affordable home. This program allows for 100% financing and little to no money required into the transaction for those who qualify. I can't stress enough how great this Fannie Mae sponsored program is. It allows certain borrowers to qualify for a home with no money down and less than perfect credit. It is a great alternative to some of the subprime loans that are now disappearing from the marketplace. The best feature of this loan program is that it offers a low interest rate that is fixed over 30 or 40 years, not just 2 - 3 years like the average subprime mortgage. Most subprime borrowers aren't getting in trouble because of their initial interest rate. Most of the trouble comes when these short-term ARMs reset and payments skyrocket by $300-$500 per month. A sensible borrower ...

Professional Stagers Help Home Sales
2007-04-09 20:31:00
I recently commented on the increase in business for the home inspector in this buyer's real estate market. The professional home stager is another real estate business that is seeing a resurgence in activity. This Spring will see an increase in homes on the market and each seller needs to get every competitive advantage available to them. The setup, look, feel, furniture, smell, and lighting of your home could have a more positive effect on a potential transaction than a lower sales price. Home s that are cluttered with children's toys and/or pet odors or hair may be hurting their chances of getting an interested buyer. With so much inventory on the market, it is easy for a buyer to move on to the next property. Sellers may consider hiring an accredited professional stager (ASP) who can help them direct a potential buyer's attention to the highlights of the home. For an average cost of less than $2,000, a home stager will make sure items that could be seen as objectionable to pot...

Subprime Woes Affect Us All
2007-04-05 02:48:00
We all know that the woes of the subprime market has now made it difficult for a good number of the population to obtain mortgages. Most of the 100%, no money down, no credit needed financing are now disappearing. Those of us with good credit may be thinking that "this won't affect me". Or maybe you are laughing at the people that took these loans and are now suffering the consequences of 2 year ARMs that are increasing by over 3% in interest rate. To make matters worse, these homeowners can't even refinance their homes because similar subprime loans are no longer available. In addition, their credit is not good enough to go "prime", so for many the only option is foreclosure. Well, the demise of the subprime market has some ripple effects on the rest of the market. For one, the tightening of the subprime standards has also resulted in tightening of prime standards. So even if you have a 720 credit score, most lenders are not offering 100% financing in any form. They are also padd...

Seek an "Educational" Mortgage Broker
2007-04-02 02:38:00
There has been plenty of news on the demise of the subprime market and how certain unscrupulous loan officers/lenders preyed on the following individuals:1. Elderly2. African-American3. Low or Fixed Income4. WomenIn my opinion, these loan officers/lenders are a disgrace to the business and make it harder for the honest ones that truly have a passion for real estate and helping others. The best piece of advice that I can offer a consumer is too seek a mortgage broker, loan officer, or lender that is dedicated to educating you on the product that they are selling you. If it seems like they are too eager to close the deal quickly or have a sudden sense of urgency, then they may not have your best interest at heart. A good mortgage broker will take the time to thoroughly explain anything that you may not understand. They should also offer a solid contingency plan if you acquire a short-term ARM or other so-called "exotic" mortgage product. A mortgage can be key to systematically bu...

Beware of the "Trigger List"
2007-03-30 18:54:00
Have you ever applied for a mortgage and all of a sudden get a swarm of calls from other lenders the next day promising to give you a better deal? This phenomenom occurs because the credit bureaus (Equifax, Experian, and Transunion) sell your information for a pretty penny and other lenders can buy this information on a daily basis. With the cooling of the hot real estate market, many lenders are investing heavily in this type of lead generation for business. It is very attractive to lenders because for the most part, all of the leads are currently in the market for a mortgage. The "lead" is generated when your current lender pulls your credit. This is one of the most sought after lead and the credit bureaus charge a premium for them. As a consumer, you are open to shop around as much as possible. Just be carefully of the "bait and switch". The competing lender can dangle falsely discounted rates and terms just to gain your business. After weeks of going through the process...

Update: How to Evaluate an Investment Property
2007-03-28 07:26:00
Well .... I have submitted my offer for the investment rental property covered in the previous blog posts How to Evaluate an Investment Property I & II. I believe it was a competitive offer and will now wait to see what happens. It still seems like sellers are holding on to the the notion that they can get the astronomical prices of 2005. In my particular situation, I believe the seller may be misguided by following facts:1. In 2005, a similar building in the neighborhood sold in the $600ks.2. In 2006, another building sold in the $800ks.The problem with this is that the previous owners marketed the properties as condo conversion candidates. This was really big in the Washington DC area in 2005 and early 2006. Sellers more or less sold the pipe dream that you could buy a building for $750k, renovate, get the proper permits and licenses, and then resell each unit for $275k each. This may have been true in 2003 and 2004 when building were acquired at reasonable costs. But in 2005 and ...

How Much Did The Owner Pay?
2007-03-26 16:34:00
With spring upon us, there will be an increase real estate market activity. Sellers will definitely be selling ..... and hopefully buyers will be buying :). But what are the best strategies for getting the best deal out there. Well today, I am on the buyer's side ... sorry sellers ;). One technique that I use when negotiating an offer price is to find out what the current owner paid for their property. The days of $100,000 appreciation per year are gone, so owners are now more willing to negotiate. But what if the owner paid $500,000 for that great property in 2006 and now is selling it for $525,000 and it is really worth $475,000? Chances are he or she will not have much if any negotiation room. If a buyer offers less than that .... lets say $500,000, he or she may be wasting their time. But what if the owner paid $115,000 for that property in 1997 and now is selling it for $500,000 and it has been on the market for 6 months? In this instance, an offer of $425,000 has a ...

Importance of Rental Property Depreciation
2007-03-21 05:35:00
A common mistake among real estate investors (I am guilty of this too, when I first started investing) is that they often do not deduct depreciation on their investment properties when doing their taxes. The government allows you to take a depreciation deduction each year on your investment properties. There is a schedule that tells you how much your property has "gone down" in value each year. The idea is that property gradually degrades over time, so its value also decreases over time. In general this is true of furniture, television, vehicles, etc. But the same cannot be said for real estate. Real estate has a "perceived" value that usually gradually increases over time. But good old Uncle Sam has provided this nice perk for real estate investors. Even though we know property that is bought right and maintained can drastically increase in value, the government allows us to take a yearly tax deduction for a reduction in the property value. There are tables provided by the...

Strategy for High Equity Rental Properties
2007-03-20 06:45:00
This is probably a tax law that many of you know already, but I feel compelled to state it just in case there are a few who are unaware of its benefits. We all know about the tax law that states if you live in your primary residence for two year out of the last five years, you can keep up to $250,000 from the profits from the sale as an individual or $500,000 for a married couple. The two years does not have to be consecutive. It could be one year in the beginning of the five years and one year at the end of the five years, does not matter. Well, if you have a investment home (single-family) that you have held for a while and has greatly appreciated, you can apply the same rule to the investment home. Normally, you would have to either pay tax on capital gains or roll the gain into another property through a 1031 exchange. This option would be to move into the investment property for two years and then take the gain out tax-free up to the applicable limits. Note, that you will still...

The "Make Sense" Interest-Only Loan
2007-03-19 15:13:00
With all of the fallout of the subprime market and the bad press on ARMs, Option Arms, and Inter est-Only loans, it seems like the only good option nowadays is the traditional 30-yr fixed principal and interest mortgage. Rates are still at relatively low levels hovering around the 6% mark. It is true that a 30 yr fixed principal and interest mortgage is the safest bet, but I think homebuyers should also give some thought to the 10 year interest-only 30 year fixed mortgage. This is one of the only loans available that gives you a fixed-rate with an option to make interest-only payments when you want to. How is that? Well, an interest-only loan does not restrict you to making only interest payments. You can make payments to principal at anytime.For example:A $400,000 mortgage with a 6% interest rate, yields a principal and interest payment of: $2.398.20 per month. The interest only payment would be: $2,000.00In this example, a homeowner could acquire a 30 yr fixed mortgage, with...

Hold each Investment Property as an LLC
2007-03-15 19:07:00
Many wonder if it is necessary to hold or transfer their investment properties in an LLC. I think it is not only necessary, but you should have a separate LLC for EACH investment property. This is especially true if you have multiple apartment buildings with many units. The whole idea is to protect your personal assets from potential lawsuits from tenants, etc. If you hold all of your investment properties under your name, then that leaves you open for getting sued for your personal assets (bank accounts, principal residences, etc). This can be devastating for most and I have seen a few people get burned this way. I don't even think it is a good idea to have all of your investment properties under one LLC. The problem with this is if someone sues you because of an incident at Apartment Building #1, they can also go after the equity and assets of Apartment Building #5 if they are under the same LLC. You will be personally protected, but you open yourself to potential liabil...

I took a look at the 5 - 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom, multiunit in the Washington, D.C. area today. Just to recap, it has a list price of about $650,000. The rent is currently about $950 per unit and the onsite manager pays only $600. That is a grand total of $4400 per month. I will be getting the income and expenses statements for this property and will do a full analysis so I can come up with a offer that will actually give me a decent cashflow (approx. $300 - $800 per month) if possible. It will definitely be less than the list price of $650,000, which is way too high. It is a nice looking building.Here is the front of the building:Here is the back of the building:Here is the garage:Here is the backyard:The garage has the potential for being rented once fixed up.

Subprime fallout may hurt homeownership
2007-03-11 17:56:00
With the increasing defaults of Subprime Adjustable Rate Mortgages, (Subprime is a loan that does not meet the quality of what is called A paper, in general usually a middle credit score of 620 or more) many lenders are leaving that side of the business and it seems like the federal regulations for these types of loans are going to tighten. For example, New Century a long time subprime lenders has stopped taking new loan applications because of the large increase in defaults. According to Reuters, they may soon seek bankruptcy protection. In addition, more than 20 subprime lenders have quit lending or gone bankrupt in the past year or so. Even large lenders like Countrywide recently halted their no-money down programs. Now borrowers are required to have at leat 5% equity in their homes.So why do I mention all of this? Well, because of these recent occurrences, potential homebuyers that may have lower credit, but have every intention in making their mortgage payment may be push...

Going to see an Investment Property
2007-03-09 15:45:00
I am going to see two investment properties in the Washington, DC area next week. One is a 4-unit building, with 3 - 2 bedrooms, and 1 - 1 bedroom. Of course it is listed way too high (mid $600,000). The other is a 5-unit building, with 5 - 2 bedroom units and parking for 5. Also priced in the mid $600s, but seems to have more potential. I am going to videotape each visit of these multi-units with my realtor. Then I will basically make a short video documentary of how I pick and evaluate rental properties and arrive at a reasonable offer price, step by step. The offers will be presented and I will let everyone know the outcome of the offers. I anticipate this video will be done by the end of next week sometime. I will use some of the principles covered in my previous Real Wealth Through Rental Properties posting.
