Whether you want to get into flipping houses, become a landlord, or want to grow an Airbnb rental empire, there’re many ways to invest in real estate.



Here are just 5 reasons that make investing in real estate a good idea.



🗝 Great returns and opportunity to build capital: If the real estate you own increases in value over time, you can sell it for a solid profit.

🗝 Diversification of assets: Adding real estate to your investments boosts your diversification, which can protect you in times of economic turmoil, especially if you invest in stocks.

🗝 Long-term security: real estate is a long-term investment, meaning you can hold it for several years as you wait for it to appreciate and if you’re not living in it, you can rent it out for additional income in the meantime.

🗝 Tax benefits: you can deduct several expenses associated with owning an investment property, including your property taxes, mortgage interest, property management fees, property insurance, the costs of ongoing maintenance, the cost of repairs, and the money you pay to market your property to potential renters.

🗝 Passive income opportunities: leasing your property to a long-term renter requires less of your time and effort than short-term rentals while providing you with a steady monthly income.

Do you have enough money saved to pay a 20% down payment towards a new home? Most first-time homebuyers don’t. And with home prices hitting all-time highs… That might present a bit of a challenge.

But that’s why first-time homebuyer programs exist with the purpose of:

✔️Down Payment Assistance
✔️Government-Backed Loans
✔️Down Payment Grants
✔️Tax Deductions
✔️Closing Assistance

These programs vary from state to state, so be sure to research your options and see what you qualify for.

Although we’re still in a seller’s market, we’re seeing a slight drop in mortgage applications to buy a home. The high sale prices paired with increasing interest rates has started pricing homebuyers out, especially first-time homebuyers.

You only have one chance to make a first impression with your listing, and it’s best to do that on Thursday. Homes listed on Thursdays are 12% more likely to sell within 15 days, and these Thursday-listed homes also are likely to be toured more by potential buyers.

Homes listed on Thursday:

✔️ Get toured 19% more than homes listed on other days of the week.
✔️ Tend to generate multiple offers above listing price

Q: I would start my home remodel with…. 🤔

A: There are so many updates that can be made, it can be hard to narrow it down. But if you were to ask me, I’d have to say my kitchen. I love to cook and having all the storage and additional space would certainly be a huge plus for me.

What about you, where would you start your remodel? Share below!

Locale plays a big part, but just as well as the timing of this question. 😉

Are you already in an existing contract? If so, then the answer is no…Your landlord cannot require you to be vaccinated.

Although, when renewing a lease or signing a new contract, if implemented within the terms, the landlord can then require any and all tenants to be fully vaccinated.

A good rule of thumb though, in any case, if you have any questions, check local and state laws.✔️✔️

Are you contemplating selling your home, but not sure if now is a good time?

Here are three reasons why IT IS A Good Time to Sell Your Home Right Now:



🔸 The demand is high:
As a result of the pandemic, a lot of renters have realized that they want a bigger and more comfortable space if they’re going to be spending more time at home. They also realized that they no longer want to throw their money down the drain and want to put what they’re spending towards a mortgage instead.

🔸 More buyers = more potential offers:
This creates more competition and potential bidding wars that can drive up the sale price of your home.

🔸 It’s a seller’s market:
High demand and low inventory make this a very strong market for sellers, so if you can, you should take advantage of it.



But if you’re looking to buy a new home after selling your current home, the low inventory means it might also be harder for you to find a home. If you’re worried about finding yourself in this situation, let’s chat! I might be able to find you a home that’s off-market and not actively listed yet.

Although it might seem as though closing unused credit cards would help your credit score and, in turn, be a positive impact on your mortgage application, it can actually hurt you.

Why?

Because when you close a credit card two things can happen:

✔️ You won’t have the credit limit from that unused card anymore, so your credit limit will decrease, which may cause your utilization ratio to increase depending on how much outstanding debt you have, which can lower your credit score.

✔️ If the card you’re closing is an old credit card, this can affect the length of your credit history, which can also impact your credit score.

Open Houses: A key marketing strategy or an outdated practice in today’s day and age…?⁣ 🤷

⁣Believe it or not, open houses still hold their weight when it comes to implementing key marketing strategies! They help give customers a ‘feel’ for the home and an opportunity to personalize it. 😍
However, open houses, in most cases, do not sell houses alone. That’s why it’s important to employ many tactics and make use of digital marketing by reaching out to your customers on social media platforms. 👋
