I’m writing with some great news!

I’m sure that your life would be simplified if you could earn more rental income from your properties!

Maybe friends and relatives have suggested that you raise your rent?

You and I both know that arbitrarily raising rent just creates a revolving door of tenants coming in and out. If tenants leave, income goes down, not up, and who wants that?

I’d like to share with you some other ways to increase income from your rental properties. I typically find my rental properties through the Foreclosure Insiders Club who provide me access to bargain properties in my area that are in pre-foreclosure.

Investor Education

Needless to say, I’ve rented many of these properties out and to the dismay of my contemporaries, I don’t charge ridiculously high rents! I’ve compiled this list of alternative income generators from my investment properties!

1. Coin-operated washing machines. If you don’t have the money to do this yourself, you can find a company that will do it for you, and share the income with you.

2. Rent parking space. I got tired of a renter’s extra car, so I just started charging a weekly fee. A little extra income and I didn’t mind so much.

3. Raise rents. Okay, we dismissed ARBITRARY rent hikes as a cash-flow solution, but check on rates for similar units. You may be renting at below-market rates.

4. Storage sheds. If your apartments are small, your renters might need a place to store their things. Why let them spend their money elsewhere? Put a few rental storage sheds on the property.

5. Late fees. It’s perfectly fair to have a high fee for late payment of rent, and guess what? Those who are chronically late usually won’t even complain – they just don’t look at these things the way others do.

6. Improvements for rent increases. If it’s worth $25 more rent to a tenant, install that dishwasher. Even on a credit card you’ll be paying less than that per month for it.

7. Vending machines. With large enough rental properties, others will do this for you for free, and give you a share of the income.

8. Rent rooms. A four-bedroom house could make more money if you include utilities and rent by the bedroom. This has made many fortunes for investors in college towns. It will mean a lot of management, however.

9. Rent-to-own deals. Usually you’ll charge a non-refundable deposit, and higher than market rents in these deals. When renters change their minds, as they’ll often do, you got the deposit and better cash flow during their stay. This is great when poor cash flow makes you want to sell, because you either sell or get the better cash flow as you repeat the process.

10. Reduce your expenses. Every dollar of expense you cut goes to the bottom line. List all expenses of your rental properties, and look at them one by one. How can you reduce them?

Recently, you can find foreclosures in different socio economic status – low-, middle- and high-income neighborhoods. You can see foreclosure signs even just around your neighborhood. You can start building your network of contacts from the residents where you hope to invest in the future as well as on banks, and other real estate agents. You can befriend a real estate agent who specializes in REO to help you learn about the basics of foreclosures. Remember to check online real estate sites or public records of foreclosure listings services as well as newspaper ads.

Most investors and agents are emphasizing on a safer way to buy Purcellville Homes through buying foreclosures that are bank-owned. Prospective home buyers can buy these distressed properties in one of the following phases:

1. Pre-foreclosure – the homeowner still has control of the property

This type of purchase is also known as short sale. What investors do is they try to negotiate a deal to homeowners who are delinquent on their loans to bail them out. This purchase turns out into a discount for the buyer where the price is below the home’s market value. This first phase is typically called the grace period because the owner still has at least six months to pay off the default amount.

Auction sale

Buying a home at an auction offers some high profits, but it does have its drawbacks. You buy a house as is and while the property is conducted by a third party trustee or sheriff, the lender may not make a profit and there would be no money left for the homeowner.

3. Real estate-owned (REO) – a lender-owned property

This is the easiest and the safest method in buying a foreclosure. It offers the least value and most competition. Since there was no one who has bid higher than the default amount, the lender will have the distressed property. The lender will have the option to sell it for profit.

4. Government-owned – potentially a slower process with more paperwork

Buying foreclosures that are government-owned can amount to more paper work and a possibly slower process.

Buying foreclosed properties is indeed a profitable and satisfying experience to both potential buyers and real estate investors. But before you dive in, research and seek help from the best experts in the field for a successful and smooth home buying process of your home in Real Estate Ogden.

“Unless the pain of staying the same is greater than the pain of change, then usually, we won’t change”?

One thing that all successful people have in common is a burning desire to achieve their goal. They want to succeed so much that it is virtually impossible for them to stay the same. So they push themselves to become successful and make no excuses.

Here are a few of my members who have done just that!

And my hat’s off to them for taking the initiative to make that
change for the better!

The truth is, they are no different from you or me, or anyone for that matter. They just have a burning desire to succeed and took action. So I hope their stories will encourage you take action as well.

“I did manage to sell the contract for a benefit to myself in excess of $7000 after taxes.”

I started with B.C. foreclosures after some experimentation and solo activity in the real estate arena. I had no success in locating the ‘motivated’ sellers.

Starting in August of 2008 I got into the list and began a postcard campaign (only 4 names to start with), on the second mail out (12 names) I got a couple of responses and one of them converted into a contract.

The seller was very happy to have someone working to resolve the foreclosure situation; something that he was really not able to do himself (see the attached image from the contract).

After a struggle with three different potential buyers, including
one that managed to anger nearly everyone including his own lawyer,notary and realtor; and a ‘time-out’ during the
Christmas/New Year’s holiday time I did manage to sell the contract for a benefit to myself in excess of $7000 after taxes.

Until starting to use the BC foreclosures database I was finding zero leads. Now I have many, including one that has the potential for 6 figures!

Thank you Aiden.

David M. Malinski, British Columbia

“Leaving my job to do this full-time!”

“At first, it seemed like I was going no where. I was trying to
contact the sellers on the list and I didn’t get any responses from any of them. I tried for a 4 weeks and I was about to give up. Then Aiden told me to just stick with the program and keep going.

And I am so glad I did! Because about a week and half later, I
connected with one of the sellers!

We worked out a deal and I was so excited when I got my first check ($16,213.65!) and now I am in the process leaving my job to do this full-time!”

-Shirley Wielding, Alberta

********************************************************************

“$39,876.25 In 45 Days!”

“I sent letters out to pre-foreclosures on the list and one of the sellers contacted me almost immediately. They had a family medical situation which I was able to help them with.

Within 45 days, I renovated the property, did an open house (as you see in the video) and then sold the house for a $39,876.25 profit.

And all the while, the sellers were so glad that I had helped them solve their problem.

I would recommend joining Foreclosure Insiders Club to anyone who is serious about making a lot of money in real estate honestly and ethically.

You’re very familiar with the term “flipping” by now.

Just a quick recap: Flipping properties involves buying a piece of real estate and then reselling it at a profit. Flipping is all over the television these days thanks to various cable shows and has long been one of the most tried-and-true ways for an investor to make money.

However, I’ve come across so many wannabe investors, those who are just getting into flipping houses, maybe with one or two flips on their scorecard, and one question they always seem to ask me is: How do you know it’s time to turn your flip into cash?

The cable shows break the entire flipping process into a neat thirty or sixty minute show. But do you know if there is an ideal length of time that you should hold onto your property before putting it back on the market?

The answer to this question is a qualified “it depends”.

If you’re buying a brand new house, you may actually discover that the builder has a clause in the contract that says you MUST hang on to the home for a specific amount of time, often one year.

But with most pre-owned homes, there isn’t such a clause, and you’re generally free to sell the home as quickly as you can find a buyer and make a profit.

However, the rule of thumb for flipping houses seems to be three to six months, especially if you’re planning to make repairs or remodel a home for profit. According to specialists, selling before or after that time will normally result in less than a maximum return on your investment.

A flipper-type investor wants to find their property quickly.

The flipper finds their property and gets right to it. They make
whatever repairs may be necessary, and then get out as quickly as possible, with the goal of making money in the process.

In a recent study, it appears that investors who flipped properties averaged a 15 percent return on their initial investment.

However, investors who sold their properties between three and six months often were able to realize profits of as high as a 50 – 100 percent annualized appreciation rate.

That is a significant increase, and brings up the question as
to why the figures were so much higher.

The key seems to be that investors who can find under priced
properties in relatively brisk markets are able to make the necessary changes in the houses and then get what amounts to an immediate sale, which gave them a premium price that was some 20 -40 percent ahead of the market in their area.

In other words, they were working within markets that were booming, and were able to take advantage of that situation to reap greater profits.

The bottom line for you as an investor? Choose your area of investment carefully. Know your market, inside and out, join a site like the Foreclosure Insiders Club to gain insider access to properties that are in pre-foreclosure, negotiate hard, and then resell the property within three to six months if you’re hoping to make the maximum profit on your investment.
