🏠 It’s not just your house that has to be in top form when you put it on the market. You have to make a good impression also.

👉 Here are several tips to help you be the perfect home seller.

1. Be Scarce

One of the biggest turn-offs for buyers is a seller who hovers over their shoulders as they tour a house. If you are present when potential buyers visit your home, they may not feel free to ask certain questions, and you may say something that could jeopardize a sale.

2. Give Up Your Parking Space

A good seller wants a potential buyer to be able to picture themselves living in the home. You can help further this image by allowing buyers to pull up in the driveway and park as if they own it.

3. Take Your Pets With You When You Leave For A Showing

The buyers who come to your home for viewing might be animal lovers, too, but you should always take your pets with you when you leave.

4. Place Important Documents In Plain View

Because you’ll be leaving when potential buyers come to view your home, you’ll want to place important documents such as the home inspection report, home warranty, and appraisal on a table for easy viewing.

5. Don’t Pressure The Buyers For Feedback

You may be excited to hear a buyer’s feedback right after a showing, but a good seller gives the buyer time to process what they’ve seen and made a decision.

🔍 Are you a new real estate investor?

👍 Here are 5 basic things every real estate investor should know.

1. Local pricing
As an investor, one of the first things you should look at is the current pricing trends in the area.

2. Mortgage pre-approval
The lender locks in an interest rate for you that stays the same regardless of interest rates at the time you actually purchase a home.

3. Developing communities
One way to ensure your success as a real estate investor is to buy properties in up-and-coming neighborhoods. Growing communities experiencing new infrastructures make for great investment opportunities.

4. Low-tax areas
If taxes are higher or are slated to rise in a given area, but a neighboring community has lower taxes, more people will want to buy in the lower tax community.

5. School rankings
Communities with high ranking schools tend to draw parents hoping to enroll their children in quality education. Good investors know that buying in such areas can lead to high profits.

💸 Short sale real estate transactions can be a great option for investors.

🤔 Here’s what you should know about buying a short sale home.

Keep These Things In Mind When Dealing With A Short Sale

1. Know your facts. Take some time to review the current real estate market and all the financials pertaining to the property.

2. Stage short sales. While short sales seem to be acts of desperation sometimes, it doesn’t mean you can sell your property in any old condition.

3. Be prepared for difficult negotiations. Be prepared to haggle back and forth a little before striking a deal on a short sale.

4. Short sale doesn’t mean poor quality. Just because someone is selling their property on a short sale doesn’t mean it is of poor quality, has some major defect, or is less than in some way.

😎 Learn About Landlording With These Great Tips

👇 It takes a special know-how to be a successful landlord, and with the tips below, you can be one yourself.

1. Make Collecting The Rent A Priority
Since your tenants’ rent money is the whole reason you do what you do, collecting it on time every month should be priority. If the rent is due on the first of every month, each tenant should be paying by the first of each month – no excuses.

2. Learn Everything You Can And Know The Law
Landlording requires more than just collecting the rent once a month. It requires you have an on-going education, as well as a complete understanding of fair housing laws. The more you know, the better equipped you are to handle situations that arise.

3. Make Appropriate Renovations And Repairs
It’s important to make repairs and renovations that don’t cost more than you can recoup with typical rent payments from the tenants. Make sure the end justifies the mean.

4. Set Office Hours And Have A Google Voice Number
Setting strict office hours with a Google Voice number for emergencies is the best way to get a good night’s sleep and reduce stress on an very stressful job.

5. Hire Outside Help
As an investor and landlord, you probably look for every way possible to save money. This might include making repairs around the rental property yourself. If you’re a handy person, and you like making repairs, then go for it.

6. Keep Organized
One of the keys to any successful business is organization. This holds especially true for landlording. Keep all your forms neat and handy in a file cabinet, have all procedures and policies clearly written out and have all your maintenance contacts organized for quick retrieval.

😎 As a new real estate investor, you need to begin making a profit fast.

💰 Use these six ways to increase the value of your first investment property to do just that!

1. Upgrade and make repairs
By making repairs and upgrading outdated interiors, you can raise the rent from what it was in the era the property was decorated to something closer to the current market rates.

2. Rent more space
If you have a common hall closet you can open up into a rental unit, or give the key to for a tenant’s use, you’ll be able to charge more rent and increase your overall profit.

3. Combine or divide units
This tactic may make the unit more appealing to potential renters because rent will be lower.

4. Lower your expenses
Go through your expenses with a fine tooth comb and figure out what you can do yourself, what you can’t live without, and what you can do away with in order to keep as much money in your pocket as possible.

5. Don’t pay tenant expenses yourself
If the meters for these expenses aren’t separate for each unit, consider making them so to make each tenant responsible for his or her own expenses every month.

6. Raise the rent
You have the right to raise the rent at your next opportunity.
