By Kathy Kennebrook (The Marketing Magic Lady)

You’ve all heard the tenant horror stories from people who have had tenants in properties, but being a landlord doesn’t have to be difficult as long as you learn some strategies for handling your tenants. My husband used to say that handling tenants was like having a group of children that you have to train and discipline. But it doesn’t have to be that difficult.

You do have to make some specific rules for your tenants and stick to them. Every time you change the rules you give your tenants the upper hand. You must also have an iron clad lease that specifically addresses the issues that you may have with tenants including getting your rent paid on time.
rules-1752405_1280

This is one area in which I am steadfast with the rules. I don’t care what the tenant’s situation is, their responsibility is to pay me on time and in full or they are stealing services from you without paying for them. My tenants are responsible for having the rent in our post office box or direct deposited through zelle or paypal on or before the date it is due or they are served with a three-day notice the next morning as required by law where I live in order to begin the eviction process. There are no exceptions. We even have tenants who send their checks to me priority mail to make sure they get to me on time. Most of our tenants have been with us a long time and many pay early.
You must also take the time to pre-qualify your tenants’ right from the beginning so you can avoid some problems right from the start. Don’t just accept a tenant into your rental property because they have the money to move in. Don’t let greed be your guide. Have your tenants fill out a specific rental application. Then you run must a tenant check with a reputable company. Don’t try to do this yourself just by looking at public record. You will miss credit issues and anything that may have occurred out of state. You need to find out the information you need to know about your tenants’ right from the start before renting them your unit.
For example, if the tenant check shows the applicant was just evicted from another premises, this certainly isn’t going to be a tenant you want in your property. Or if your tenant has had recent felony convictions, this isn’t a tenant you want in your rental unit. If your applicant has multiple animals, this is also not someone you want in your rental unit. I will mention however, that I will allow a tenant with a small dog or cat to rent my units. I find that usually a tenant who has a pet that they have had for some time will make a good tenant who will stay longer in your unit.
cat-3266675_1280

I also have a separate pet lease which addresses specific rules regarding pets in my units. The pet lease requires that the dog or cat is an indoor pet and I have an additional non-refundable amount of security deposit for the pet lease and additional pet rent of 25.00 per month. I find that this works out very well. If the tenant gets a pet that is not on the lease, this is grounds for immediate eviction, and we do have someone who checks our units about every 60 days for us to make sure all is well with our rental units.
I also check out where they were living before by going by the address and checking it out and I talk to their previous landlord. I want to see how they have been treating the place where they were living before. If it looks like a pig pen or if they have multiple animals, this is not someone I want in my unit. If they don’t give me this information on the rental application, I won’t even consider them to rent my unit. I know some of this is just common sense but it bears discussion. If a tenant makes it through my rigorous screening process, I also have them pay first month’s rent, last month’s rent and the security deposit either by cash, cashiers check or by money order. I do not accept personal checks for the move-in amounts.
dollar-3313761_1280

During the following months I do not accept personal checks from them for the rent, we only accept money orders or direct deposit. The first time a check bounces for insufficient funds or any other reason, they must make it good immediately or I will immediately begin the eviction process. This is all covered in the lease they have signed. I also make sure that the person I have putting tenants in units for me thoroughly covers all the items in the lease with them before they sign it.
If a tenant does get their rent to us late, they are responsible for additional rental fees of one percent per day. These fees are in our lease as additional rental fees as opposed to late fees since some courts won’t allow you to get a judgment for late fees. Within the body of our lease we also require our tenants to have renters insurance and I want to see proof of the policy before they move in. This way I can’t be held liable for any injuries or the loss of their possessions due to an accident, fire, hurricane or any other natural disaster.
signature-3113182_1280

Additionally, once my tenants sign a lease with me, I will not give them keys until I see proof of utilities in their name for the unit. In certain counties like ours, the landlord can’t turn off utilities in their own name. The only way the name changes on the utilities is with a new lease and then utilities get put in the tenant’s name. This rule may be different where you live, but a lot of the time if the tenant doesn’t pay their utilities it falls back to the landlord. This is just one way for you to protect yourself.
These are just a few of the basic techniques that will make you a happy and successful landlord. Monthly cash flow is a wonderful thing if your properties are managed correctly.

Buying Vacant Land . . . NO WAY! YES . . . WAY!

/in , /by

By Kathy Kennebrook (The Marketing Magic Lady)

Do you realize that you can build your fortune through buying vacant land?

You are saying: “No way!!” I am saying: “Yes…WAY!”
There are lots of great ways to make a lot of money in real estate, not the least of which is buying and selling vacant land. This is an effective way to do real estate deals with no hassle, no rehab, no insurance and no worries of vandalism and theft. Plus, there is virtually no competition for these properties since many investors are simply not going after this incredibly lucrative portion of the market place. I was actually in the real estate business for several years before I discovered this very profitable part of the market. In addition, in this current market buying and selling vacant land is another good strategy to continue making money in the real estate business.
If you live in an area that is particularly rural, then buying and selling vacant land is a more lucrative means of doing real estate deals. Since it can be more difficult to find homes to purchase in more rural areas, vacant land is definitely the way to go. There are several different ways to find vacant land deals.
car-1149997_1280

One is to simply drive around and look for them. However, since it can be kind of difficult to find addresses for properties this way, it is probably a much better idea to create a direct mail campaign to the owners of vacant land. Some of the parameters I use for this list are out of state owners of vacant land, especially those with past due tax bills or people who have inherited vacant land. These are some of the most lucrative deals out there. Be especially aware of those properties that front main highways since these will create even more valuable deals for you. In many cases, these owners have inherited these properties and they are not interested in doing anything with them. They are usually tired of paying tax bills, so they stop paying them altogether. They are usually highly motivated sellers and fairly easy to deal with. In fact, in many cases, they may have never even seen the property and are unable to give you directions to it. This is when it becomes really important for you to be able to work with your tax assessor’s office and get a mapping program so you can locate these properties with just the parcel identification number. There are also some national companies that can provide information such as mapping programs for you for a monthly fee. This tool alone has saved us hundreds of man hours and hassles in locating properties. In the case of vacant land, unless you know exactly where it is, one piece pretty much looks like another.
right-4926156_1280

Make sure you take the time to develop a relationship with a title agent or real estate attorney in your area and make sure you have title work done before purchasing these properties. Sometimes there are probate issues or liens to handle before you close which may also include past due tax bills. Some of these sellers will try to work directly with you without having a title search done on the property. Don’t do it!
I find that vacant land deals are very profitable for me personally. I live in Florida and here in Florida we have hurricanes. It is so much easier to work with vacant land because you still have the same big profits without the worries of damage, insurance, vandalism and rehab. In fact, some of the properties we have purchased were so inexpensive that we paid cash for them and put them into our portfolio to hold on to for retirement income when we sell them later on. They are already worth a lot more than we paid for them, so we figure the pay check will be huge later on as property values go up even more. And some, we will simply wholesale for a good profit. You can also purchase land into your Roth IRA.
In addition, with the current market being what it is today, purchasing land at huge discounts gives you the advantage to be able to sell it at “bargain basement prices” and still make excellent profits. Since you are selling the property at a lower price, it usually sells very quickly.
profit-2210588_1280

Image by Gerd Altmann from Pixabay

Once you purchase these properties there are several ways to resell them at huge profits. One way you can sell these lots is to list them with a local Realtor who is familiar with selling vacant land without touching them. Whether or not you are able to sell your properties this way will depend a lot on how motivated the Realtor is. You also need to make sure that these local Realtors are part of the MLS system. Surprisingly we have found that in many rural areas they are not. You want to have as much exposure as you can for the properties you are looking to sell right away. Some of the best buyers for these lots are folks from out of town looking for a vacation get away. So they will purchase vacant land and build a home on it. Another thing that some of my students have done is to buy some acreage, split it into pieces, sell off some of the pieces and keep part of the land for themselves. They will make enough money off the sale of the split that the pieces they keep for themselves end up being free.
The other thing you can do is to list these properties on your property for sale web site where people, just like you and me, who may want to build vacation homes in the area where your vacant land is will see them. You will be able to get attention from many parts of the country. You may also want to put a “For Sale by Owner” sign on your land or run an ad in the local newspaper and the newspaper in the next largest city near you. I have done this and it has produced many buyers for me.
daily-paper-464015_1280

If you want to take the time and you have your team in place to take care of these matters, you can also partially clear the land and add water or electric and then raise your asking price. The more ready the land is for development or home placement, the more quickly it will sell and the more money you can make! Depending on where the vacant land is located and how much there is, there are also opportunities to develop these pieces of land and resell them at really huge profits. One way to develop your land would be to get involved with a builder and have homes built on these pieces of land and then resell them with the land and the home already on it. Personally, this is not my favorite way to deal with vacant land because it’s time consuming and the more hands on and the profits are made later as opposed to sooner. A better technique would be to hire an engineer to take a look at the property, determine its best use, possibly change the zoning, and then do the other things necessary to get the property ready for development, such as splitting the land into smaller parcels and then reselling it. This is one of the best ways I know to build in huge profit margins without ever touching the property yourself. I find this to be a really lucrative way to handle properties especially when you are buying in an area that is an hour or more from where you live. In my case, my vacant land business is about three and a half hours from where I live most of the time.
engineer-4925140_1280

Image by RAEng_Publications from Pixabay

Another technique you can employ to make vacant land work for you is to explore the possibility of leasing land you own. This way you make cash flow on the property on a monthly basis and you still own the land. For example, you could lease a piece of land for RV storage. We have leased land to someone who needed extra room to expand a worm farm business. On another occasion we leased property we had with many pine trees to a company that harvests pine straw. A billboard company leases a property for a billboard that we own on a main highway. The possibilities are endless with a little ingenuity.
Another real advantage to working with out of state owners of vacant land is that you will run across investors who purchased groups of properties a long time ago so they have several properties with a lot of equity in them to sell. This creates wonderful scenarios where you can purchase multiple lots at well below current retail. The seller still makes money on the deal, creating a win-win solution for both parties. That’s what the real estate business is all about, creating win-win solutions for all of the parties involved. If you live in an area where there is a lot of vacant land, these techniques are definitely worthy of looking into because many of your competitors are simply not thinking about purchasing vacant properties. They are missing a huge opportunity since these properties are usually easy to purchase and reasonably easy to resell at huge profits.
Vacant properties can be a big “bonanza” for you! For more information on marketing to the owners of vacant properties as well as all kinds of sellers and lenders, visit my website at www.vacantlandgold.com.

Kathy Kennebrook Discusses Owner Financing and Work For Equity Programs to Get Your Homes Sold Quickly- Part 3

/in , /by

By Kathy Kennebrook

Another way Kathy Kennebrook suggests to sell properties, especially properties that need repairs is by implementing a Work For Equity Plan. This is a good way for you to get a higher dollar amount for properties that need some work instead of simply wholesaling them. This is another way to drive potential buyers to your properties no matter what your current market is doing.

So what does Kathy Kennebrook mean by Work For Equity? Simply, it means that you have a property that needs some repairs that you want to sell. Instead of wholesaling it, you will sell it to an end user or homeowner who will do the repairs in exchange for some of the equity in the home. You can either sell your properties this way or lease/option your properties using this method. Kathy Kennebrook has done both successfully.
equipment-3071641_1280

Image by Fernando FLeitas from Pixabay

For example, say you have a home that all fixed up would be worth $150,000 and it needs around 20,000 in repairs, perhaps paint, carpet, appliances, or bathroom rehab. You should have purchased this home for around 82,000 or less if you structured your purchase correctly. You could then lease/option or sell this home on a Work For Equity program for around 115,000-120,000. This gives your buyer an opportunity to gain some sweat equity in the property by doing some of the work themselves and allows you a big paycheck at the end without having to do any of the repairs yourself. Kathy Kennebrook likes using this technique to sell properties since it gives a potential buyer the opportunity to purchase a home when they might not have been able to do so otherwise. You have to be very specific about the terms when selling or lease/optioning a property this way as to what repairs are going to be done and in what time period. Kathy Kennebrook provides a list to the buyer of repairs that need to be done and she goes over it in detail with them. Kathy Kennebrook then has them sign an agreement stating that these repairs will be completed within a specific timeframe which might be 12-24 months, depending on what you and your buyer agree on. Kathy also keeps tabs as to what repairs have been completed. While the repairs are being done to the property, Kathy Kennebrook also has her mortgage broker working with her buyers in order to get them qualified for a mortgage once repairs are completed. She will allow the buyers to live in the property while repairs are being completed as long as the repairs are not something that is going to create a dangerous situation for the buyers.
This is a really good way to sell homes that need work and make more money on them than you would if you had just wholesaled the property. Selling homes on a Work for Equity program will bring you buyers that would otherwise not be able to purchase a home so it creates a win-win solution for all involved, and brings you buyers you would not have had before. In a sluggish market, this is a really good way for you to sell properties that need rehab and make really good profits on your deals.

Kathy Kennebrook Discusses Owner Financing and Work For Equity To Get Your Homes Sold Quickly-Part 2

By Kathy Kennebrook

The other way Kathy Kennebrook offers owner financing to a buyer is by holding a small second mortgage for them for part of her profit on the deal. This is personally one of her favorite ways to sell properties. Often having this opportunity available makes it easier for your buyer to obtain their first mortgage and gives you monthly cash flow for part of your profit. You actually end up making more on the deal this way since most of the buyer’s monthly payment to you on the second mortgage is interest.

balloon-25739_1280-520x1024

Kathy Kennebrook will typically hold a second mortgage for her buyer’s with a three year balloon. At the end of the three year period, they still end up owing her most of the principle of the original loan. This can become a nice stream of income for you both on a monthly basis and long-term. You end up getting a big check when your property is sold, then smaller monthly payments for a period of time, then another big paycheck at the end of the buyer’s balloon.
hypothecary-credit-149895_1280

Image by OpenClipart-Vectors from Pixabay

The other method Kathy Kennebrook suggests using to sell properties is to owner finance the sale of your property for your buyer, and then sell the note to someone else at the closing table. If you structure your deal correctly, you usually end up being paid between 90-93% of the total amount in cash when the closing takes place. In this instance, if Kathy Kennebrook knows she is going to sell the note at the closing and take a lump sum cash payment, she makes sure she has sold the property for its full retail value or a little more. This way Kathy still gets a big paycheck and most of the value of her property’s sale.
These are just a couple of other methods you can use to sell houses that will drive buyers to you even in a sluggish market because you are offering your buyers assistance that most other sellers are not.
For more information on selling homes on a Work For Equity Plan, check out part three of this article. In the meantime, visit Kathy Kennebrook’s website at Marketingmagiclady.com for even more information on buying and selling homes quickly in any market.

Kathy Kennebrook Discusses Using Owner Financing To Sell Properties Quickly

By Kathy Kennebrook

Using a work for equity plan to sell houses or owner financing to sell properties is a good plan for getting homes sold quickly in any market especially if they need rehab. So let’s first talk about owner financing properties.

I believe that owner financing is another good way for you to sell your properties quickly and for long term profits. Many sellers do not offer owner financing so this is another good way for you to drive potential buyers to your properties even in a down market. I suggest simply advertising that you are offering financing assistance for your buyer. Many times you will have a buyer who has a significant down payment; they just can’t qualify for a loan for whatever reason at that moment.
Usually if I owner finance a property, I at least want my buyer to have halfway decent credit or at least workable credit that can be cleaned up over a period of time. I have a wonderful broker in place that helps my buyers clean up their credit issues. You can sell your properties using owner financing one of two ways. If you sell a property that has an underlying mortgage, you could do a wraparound mortgage with your buyer.
keys-1317389_1280

Image by Merio from Pixabay

A wrap around mortgage is simply a mortgage that wraps around the underlying note. I would absolutely suggest using an attorney to put these deals together for you so it is done correctly and in a way that allows you to foreclose out the note if your buyer stops paying.
So how does a wrap around mortgage work? What this means is that your buyer pays you a mortgage payment each month on your property and you pay your underlying mortgage. The difference between these two payments is yours to keep as monthly cash flow as long as taxes and insurance are handled.
lady-justice-2388500_1280

If you have used an attorney to do the wrap around mortgage for you, your buyer is going to be responsible for the taxes and insurance on the property and will provide you with proof that these have been paid.

“The Money Multiplier”

By Bruce Kellogg

The Practice of Infinite Banking

For over 200 years the elite have been implementing a tool called the Infinite Banking Concept (IBC) to build wealth through their own debt and expenses they already have. This concept is described in the foundational book, Become Your Own Banker by the late R. Nelson Nash. By practicing IBC, we now have a system and powerful financial tool to get back all of the money for every product and service we will ever purchase in our lifetime.

Brent Kesler

BrentBrent Kesler was a Chiropractor and Chiropractic coach for over 14 years. After implementing IBC, Brent paid off $984,711 in 3rd party debt in 39 months. In fact, Brent became so passionate about how powerful this concept was, he began sharing it with others and thus changed his path. Brent’s main goal in making this move was simply to help more people understand how to manage and grow their wealth. For the last 8-plus years, Brent has been lecturing to thousands of people around the country on the dynamics of IBC and helping individuals break the bonds of financial slavery they don’t even realize they are in. He teaches how to take back control of your financial life and to stop doing business with the banks. Brent has a passionate belief that whether you make $10/hour or $10,000/hour you should know IBC and have this powerful information to keep control of your own money.

How It’s Done

We are creating a specially-designed, specifically-engineered platform to practice the Infinite Banking Concept. This vehicle is customized based on each individual’s needs and resources. You will be using this vehicle to make all of the transactions you are already doing in your life (paying bills, buying cars, purchasing houses, making investments, etc.) Think of IBC as the process to make those transactions/investments all without having to change your cashflow, work any harder, take any additional risks, or lose control of your hard-earned dollars; we are just adding 1 simple step to your financial life. You see, you want to be in 2 businesses in your life: the business that produces your main source of income and the banking business, the business that finances everything you do throughout your life. We all have access to the same financial tools; the wealthy just use these tools differently. Now that I know how the wealthy have been using these tools for over 200 years, I am going to continue to play the game right along with them.

Scaling Partnerships

We have all heard the old saying, “Necessity is the mother of invention”. This came upon the principals of Scottsdale Real Estate Investments earlier this year when they had acquired nearly 100 properties over the past three years. These were mostly single-family residences (SFR) purchased with joint venture (JV) partners, mostly from the Scottsdale/Phoenix, Arizona area. Many of the properties were out-of-state, and some were bought in bulk from sellers with large portfolios. A little thought will lead to the conclusion that this business model could become unwieldy and prevent scaling up to the next level. What to do?

Seti Gershberg is the Founder and President of Investments, whereas Jay Tenenbaum is President of Capital and Risk Mitigation. Together, they cast about looking to buy some software to process the “back end” of Scottsdale REI LLC. Alas, everything they reviewed was either prohibitively expensive, or lacked sorely-needed functions. Time to invent!

REIBLADE Software Features

Asset Dashboard

Multi-property partnerships need a way to evaluate the performance of their assets, individually and in groups. REIBLADE has the “Asset Dashboard” that provides this vital benefit, as described below.

Investor Portal

How would you like to fully inform your investors without becoming extensively involved with their inquiries? REIBLADE provides an “Investor Portal” that gives investors instant access to their investments at any time with features that are easy to use. This is enhanced communication at its fullest!

Store and Manage Documents

REIBLADE will store all documents related to partnership properties in one place for easy, direct access by everyone involved. No stuffy files. No scrambling to locate a record, invoice, check, receipt, letter, deed, inspection report, walk-thru video, lease agreement, and so on. Click it, and get it!

Online Deal Marketplace

REIBLADE offers its “Deal Days Marketplace” where partnership properties can be marketed on the internet to investors around the world. Alternatively, assets can be marketed using an investor URL that is distributed to selected investor prospects. This flexibility eliminates the need for complicated and restrictive MLS-type marketing avenues, thus reducing costs.

Raising Capital for Growth

In order to grow and “scale up”, a real estate partnership enterprise needs a means to raise capital from investors. REIBLADE features the ability to produce and issue a Prospectus that has its own URL. Offering opportunities takes one click. Fundraising doesn’t come any easier than this!

Asset Performance Tracking

REIBLADE offers an instant, downloadable, one-page “Track Record”, with charts, graphs, and financial measures including Capitalization Rate, (“Cap Rate”), Yield, Internal Rate-of-Return (“IRR”), Return-on-Investment (“ROI”), and Equity Multiple. With its flexibility, REIBLADE can evaluate any single asset, or even a group of assets such as a single-family residence (SFR) portfolio. This feature can be used to convince investors to invest. After all, performance sells!
