ROI Strategies for Real Estate ~ Cash now or cash later?

February 6, 2017

If you expect real estate should involve ROI, then there’s some basics to the outline.

  1. Acquisitions – some we have control, others not – e.g.: inheritance.
  2. Holding – short/ long/ entity/ self held/ purchase for child/ etc
  3. Approach: add value/ flip/ wholesale/ rent/ vacation/ family lease to/ residence with business inside

Most properties will be held for cash income OR appreciation. If you can get both, then neither will probably be optimal.

Regardless, upfront considerations must include:Anibal-Group-LLC-RealtyNetWorth-Senior_Services_woman-elder

  1. What you need from the property: income now or later (cash flow vs appreciation)
    • I look at these like ‘a job’ or
    • ‘retirement investment’
  2. I will invest more:
    • cash or
    • time & talent

So there will be many vehicles and considerations. SD IRAs, set up LLC, Corporation, etc. One of my favorite realizations is that PROFIT is usually made on the way into an investment in THE BUY. Further when you SELL, what can you/will you do with the funds ? Make sure you have another opportunity lined up if you liquidate a great rental. Make sense ?

‘Later’ is not the preferred time to plan.

Storms/ Trees/ Insurance/ Liability

December 6, 2016

As always, this is NOT to take the place of calling YOUR agent!

What happens if:who pays for trees falling on house Anibal Group LLC Realty Net Worth fenton linden holly byron michigan florida

  1. My tree falls on my house.
    • A: my insurance should pay
  2. ” and the ins.co. had asked I remove/trim it beforehand.
    • A: I pay
  3. My tree falls on neighbors property.
    • A: their insurance should pay
  4. ” and the tree was dead/ dying.
    • A: I was negligent, I will probably pay
  5. A neighbors tree fell on my house.
    • A: living tree – I/my insurance pays, dead/dying – they/their insurance pays.

You already know that no matter what you asap inform your insurance company with “notice of an event which could give rise to a claim”, even if you’re sure there will be none. Why? You are not the insurance expert AND you don’t know what the future holds. Contact them now.

Basic point: Check your yard for hazards, check with your agent for coverage gaps.

These are short answers.  Again, you are best advised to at a minimum QnA your: Insurable risks professional, accountant, lender/banker, realty professional, legal adviser when changes happen or are anticipated.

If you’d like me to assist further, contact me w/any questions or comments. Recall, using anyone in my referral network qualifies for reimbursed services (FREE) on your next buy/sell activity.

For your friend at a time of loss.

September 10, 2016

Remember when you first realized you need ‘something more to offer’ when friends are at a hard time ? I remember well. I felt empty that I didn’t have deeper compassion for a grieving neighbor at a time of traumatic loss in the family. It was time to turn off the entertainment and read.real estate agent broker screening referral advocacy paul anibal seniors and veterans specialist__michigan_to_florida_california-to-maine

Here is a nice starter list for you to develop deeper empathy and your loved one. I especially like C S Lewis books. He experienced an early loss of a spouse married late in life, a compassionate deep thinker who is easy to follow.

When to use a real estate lawyer

August 13, 2016

Well, anytime you want to is the short answer.

feedback_thinkAboutIt

Further, most brokered transactions involve standard forms that have been drafted by lawyers. These are the same lawyers that produce materials and workshops the local attorney uses as reference. So do you need a lawyer ?

There are certain client situations that I’ll simply not move forward until and unless my customer/client consults with legal counsel. For privacy concerns I’ll not discuss them here but will chat in general terms with you and share more information to help you in your decision.

One local ‘go to’ real estate attorney I’ve used over the years is (request contact info). More oft than not, I’ll be part of the initial meeting to assist my client in clarifying what we are dealing with.

Working with the same professional over time creates a ‘default’ set of assumptions each have w/ the other, meetings tend to begin at a more advanced point. Its often optimal if

you can pick pros that are slightly older than yourself – they will tend to be in a stage of life that you are about to be in.

(Speak to your accountant/ lawyer/ lender/ and insurance agent for specific advise – the following is excerpts from counsel received and not to take the place of paid advisers in their respective field of licensing.)

What is a Good Real Estate Market to Invest in ?

January 18, 2016

Finally, an article above Readers Digest but below Wall Street Journal – like as much as I do both periodicals. But as I’ve often said, ‘don’t get your financial advise from Woman’s Day and don’t get your cooking ideas from Forbes’.

The approach to real estate investing is not about jumping in or jumping out. Its not the sound bite on the 6 o’clock news. ‘You are NOT buying a candy bar’; this is your hard earned money you are investing so you can improve life a bit. This is the more in-depth approach I prefer to take. Having invested since my senior year in college, and being the son of a real estate broker who invested in 3 states and did quite well, I’ve bought, rehabbed, sublet, rented, built new, managed for self and others, and done it in about every kind of market and every season. As far as I’m concerned, as far as I’ve seen in the 34 yrs I’ve been at this, there is virtually always an opportunity in every market and at any time.

Sometimes its in a cash deal, sometimes its in the timing – time of year, sometimes equity and profit comes from improvements, other times subdividing land. Take a glance at the article or call me and we’ll chat further.

There are always questions you’ll want to ask yourself, eg:

  • What do I have more of, time or money?
  • Do I need cash now or want to save up for future period?
  • Am I in a tax bracket that would be a better fit for setting up a separate holding entity?

There are many more.

If you are working with a professional, make sure they ask you some in-depth questions BEFORE they help you spend your hard earned money.

Zillow, Trulia are not Realtors

May 12, 2014

Per Inman News article

Zillow, and other third-party real estate search sites like Trulia, have made a big push to real estate agent broker screening referral advocacy paul anibal team alloverusa__michigan_to_florida_california-to-maineget data feeds directly from brokers and MLSs because, without a direct feed, the portals face accuracy and timeliness issues with the listing data they get from a variety of sources.

A recent study by the brokerage and referral site ZipRealty, for example, showed that 16 and 17 percent of the homes listed as for sale on Zillow and Trulia, respectively, in the markets the study looked at were not listed as for sale in the MLS.

The point here is when you are ready to get to work on your buy/sell activity, there is no substitute for a licensed flesh and blood brokerage that has access to info you need – when you need it.

Ask me about the house they ‘valued’ at $184k then $93k just after I’d sold it for $150k! The seller pointed me to a similar house listed a block away – ‘Zillowed’ at $160k – eventually sold for $85k. Take it from there.
