Marketing Tip – Developing Your Dream Team

/in , /by

By Kathy Kennebrook

Putting your “dream team” in place while establishing your real estate business is one of the key steps to developing a successful real estate investing business quickly and efficiently. Your dream team is going to consist of those people or vendors who can help you find deals, provide funding, get your deals closed and then sold or leased quickly.

Having your dream team in place and being able to close deals quickly will give you a distinct advantage over your competition by allowing you to complete deals they simply won’t be able to finish in a timely manner.

ADVERTISEMENT

The first element you need to think about is your marketing team. Your marketing dream team will include the people who can help you locate good deals, such as “bird dogs”, Realtors, mortgage brokers, promotional companies who will supply your business cards, signage, t-shirts and whatever advertising materials you need, and people who will implement your direct mail campaigns for you. You also need to add to the mix the account representatives who will handle your classified and display ads in your local newspaper and shopper guides.

The more you can automate this part of your business, the more deals you’ll be able to do more quickly.

Next, your dream team needs to include a title agent and/or a real estate attorney. These people are going to insure your deals close smoothly and with a clear title. A real estate attorney can help you to solve a lot of problems that can arise during a closing, such as a title glitch, a survey problem, or estate and probate issues, just to name a few. As you develop a relationship with your title agent and/or real estate attorney, they will become a major asset to your business by being better able to work one-on-one with your sellers and you to make sure all your deals close as smoothly as possible. You also need to make sure that your title agent and/or real estate attorney are bi-lingual so they will be able to work with your Spanish speaking sellers as well. This part of your team is one of the most important. If any part of a deal is going to fall apart it is going to be during the process of closing. Make sure you choose the best in the industry to close your deals from the very beginning, even if it costs a little more!

Then have in place those vendors who can get repairs to a property done quickly and efficiently. Once you develop your dream team, don’t keep changing vendors. This will cost you a lot more money in the long run. Developing a great team of people in your business will help you get more deals done and create bigger profits.

Houston Real Estate Investor, 26, Found Dead

/in /by

By Stephanie Mojica

Delano Burkes, 26, a Houston real estate investor, was found dead two weeks after disappearing, according to TheGrio.com.

Burkes’ body was found in the Houston Ship Channel on Monday, Nov. 28. He was last seen on Sunday, Nov. 13 with his friends in the Heights neighborhood in Houston — about 15 miles away from where his body was found.

Karen Jeffrey, the mother of Burkes, saw surveillance videos of her son leaving McIntyre’s bar at about 1 am the night of Nov. 13. She told journalists that he appeared “drugged or something.”

Friends who were with Burkes that night said it seemed like he was experiencing pain in his side. The group got separated that night, leading Burkes to leave the bar alone.

The Houston Police Department has been investigating Burkes’ disappearance as a possible homicide. The cause of death has not been determined.

Media reports did not reveal the nature of Burkes’ real estate investments. Burkes was a former football player at Texas A&M University.

Housing Prices Cooling in Once-Hot Markets

/in /by

By Stephanie Mojica

“Pandemic boomtowns” such as Austin, Boise, Las Vegas, Phoenix, and Sacramento are seeing downturns amidst a stagnating real estate market and an imminent recession, according to Forbes.com.

Typically, housing prices in these cities see consistent growth. However, double-digit percentage gains just aren’t happening anymore — especially with current mortgage rates. For example, Austin’s median price per square foot used to go up about 24% per year. This year, the figure was only 1.3%.

During the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, remote workers living in more expensive areas (especially the East Coast and the West Coast) flocked to Sun Belt destinations for high-quality living at a lower cost. As a result, home prices spiked by about 30%.

The dramatic drops in the stock and cryptocurrency markets are another contributing factor to investors seeing slowed growth in the value of their properties.

Sun Belt cities are far from the only ones seeing this problem, per Forbes.com. Even tech hubs such as San Jose, Oakland, and Seattle are no longer seeing double-digit gains in the value of residential properties.

Breaking Into the Commercial Real Estate Industry

/in , /by

By Vista Capital Solutions

Finding the right place to invest your money is often more challenging of an experience than many people realize. There are risks involved in any investment scenario and it can be difficult to figure out which options are going to yield the biggest results. Though far from a sure thing, commercial real estate is definitely one of the more lucrative areas when it comes to investments. If you think this path might be the perfect fit for your journey, take a moment to review the basics and get a better feel for what to expect.

ADVERTISEMENT

Why CRE?

The first question many investors have when presented with commercial property options is why this choice is better than residential real estate. This is especially true in recent years, when the fix-and-flip model has offered first-time investors amazing opportunities. Though advantageous, residential properties are still very limiting in what they can offer an investor. With commercial options, an investor is given an opportunity to see a much bigger return and turn a single piece of property into several recurring points of income.

What Are the CRE Property Types?

The main reason commercial real estate is more appealing than residential options is because it can be used in several different ways. The four main categories of CRE include retail, multi-family housing, office, and industrial. Depending on the location of the property itself, you might want to explore any one of these options. Each choice can produce a number of benefits and challenges, so it is wise to think through the pros and cons before making any final decisions. The main goal is to find a property with several units that can be rented out separately.

ADVERTISEMENT

What Are the Key Benefits of CRE?

Investing in commercial properties is advantageous because it allows the investor a chance to see income that lasts for a long while. Residential properties are only designated to be used by one renter at a time. With a commercial property, you can rent each unit out to a different person or group. This creates a number of points of cash flow that you can rely on each month. Many investors use the funds created by these properties to fund future investments and grow their empires. All it takes to get started is some dedicated research.

Finding the perfect piece of commercial real estate takes time and effort. As long as you understand the basics of CRE investments, you will be able to commit to the search and see the best possible results. Vista Capital Solutions offers an array of CRE funding solutions for all types of commercial property transactions and projects, nationwide. Reach out to our offices today to explore your options.

/in , /by

By Stephanie Mojica

Housing prices have skyrocketed throughout the United States, leaving budget-conscious buyers scratching their heads trying to find an affordable home in an area with plenty of work, educational, and recreational opportunities. The good news is that dream isn’t a lost cause. REALTOR.com recently released a list of 10 up-and-coming real estate markets.

1. Johnson City, TN

This Tennessee city of about 200,000 people is near the Appalachian Mountains. The average home price of $379,000 is about 10% less than the national average of $427,250 (as of September 2022).

2. Visalia, CA

For California, this city’s median home price of $400,000 sounds almost too good to be true. Visalia is in the San Joaquin Valley, about 40 miles from Fresno.

3. Elkhart, IN

This city’s average home price of $257,000 is roughly 60% of the national average. Elkhart is 15 miles from South Bend, 110 miles from Chicago, and 150 miles from Indianapolis.

4. North Port, FL

Florida is another traditionally expensive market, but this city of 75,000 isn’t one of them. The median home price of $548,000 is about 30% higher than the national average — but it’s Florida.

5. Fort Wayne, IN

Indiana strikes again with its budget-conscious homes and access to work, education, recreation, and travel. The average house price in this city of 265,000 is $300,000.

6. Lafayette, IN

This Hoosier State city of 225,000 has a median home price of $291,000 — roughly 70% of the national figure. Lafayette is about 60 miles from Indianapolis and 125 miles from Chicago.

7. Columbia, SC

For a capital city, an average home price of $309,000 is pretty darn good. The second-largest city in South Carolina, Columbia has a population of about 135,000.

ADVERTISEMENT

8. Columbia, MO

As a major Midwestern college town, Columbia has a lot to offer its 125,000 residents. The median home price of $347,000 is 20% lower than the national average.

9. Raleigh, NC

Another southeastern state capital made this list, and Raleigh is undeniably one of the best cities in this part of the country. The average cost of a home in this city of 475,000 is $463,000.

10. Yuma, AZ

Another city west of the Mississippi made this list, with a median home price of $315,000. This city of about 75,000 is known for its sunny weather.

How Short-Term Loans Help Companies Do More

/in , /by

By Vista Capital Solutions

Running a small business can be a rewarding opportunity, but it takes a lot of work. New business owners in the first few years of incorporation may find themselves in a tight spot from time to time. When you’re trying to bring in profit and business suddenly slows, it might be frustrating to find a solution. You still have to pay your employees and keep the electricity on even when no customers are coming through your door. Fortunately, there are some funding methods that help businesses get past tough times.

Ask a Bank

When you’re looking for a solution to get you past a dip in sales, asking a financial professional about short-term loans is a good place to start. Instead of aiming for a large loan, think about getting just enough for your needs. Bankers can help people decide what kinds of financial products will work best for their exact problem. Tell your financial professional everything that you’re wanting to accomplish and in what time frame you must do this. You must demonstrate a purpose for the money before a bank will loan it to you.

ADVERTISEMENT

Consider Other Options

Before you sign on the dotted line with a lender, take the time to see what other options are available besides short-term loans. Ask your banker about different types of products and what their terms are. It’s a good idea to educate yourself on what’s out there so you know where you can turn in the future for other funding needs. Compare interest rates, payment terms, and approval requirements for other kinds of loans.

Make an Informed Decision

After you’ve consulted your financial professional and researched other available products, then it’s a good time to make your decision about applying for short-term loans. Some of these products may even be backed by the United States Small Business Administration. The SBA works with banks and other financial institutions to partially guarantee loans for small business owners. Because these products hold a little less risk for the lender, they are sometimes easier to qualify for. the SBA offers both long and short-term products that are designed to fit the needs of smaller enterprises. Choosing one of these kinds of loans may be more favorable.

Once you’ve put in your time and research, you will find a good loan for your business. Staying informed about finance will help you make wiser decisions down the road.
