Avoid Common Real Estate Investor Mistakes

REAL ESTATE INVESTORS 

Investing in real estate can be profitable, but owning rentals is time-consuming, expensive and challenging. 

Real estate investors should get educated, plan and AVOID MAKING COMMON MISTAKES:

AVOID INVESTOR MISTAKES

Mistake 1:  CONFUSING A CHEAP DEAL FOR A GOOD DEAL

Investor should research the market, know your competition as landlord, and make sure you can rent out the property at range price after buying. 

Mistake 2:  OVERLOOKING KEY COSTS

Investor buyers should factor in buyer closing costs (three to six percent), costs to fix up the property, costs to maintain and holding costs.  Then add profit you expect to make, closing costs on possible sale, and determine what you should pay for the property.

Mistake 3:  Forgetting that TIME IS MONEY 

Investors lose money when the property is empty, and you need to make sure you cut down on vacancy time and get a valued tenant quicker while accepting moderated rent. 

Mistake 4:  ASSUMING YOU WILL SIT BACK AND WATCH THE RENT ROLL IN

Landlords are rent collectors, and if tenants have financial problems and stop paying rent, it can take several months to evict them.  An investor landlord needs to screen prospective tenants carefully or pay a manager to do that. 

Mistake 5:  UNDERESTIMATING REPAIR COSTS

Investor landlords must make property repairs, including carpet cleaning and replacement, repainting, roofing, and others.  Some managers set aside reserves of six months of rent money for possible repairs. 

Mistake 6:  ASSUMING THAT OWNING A RENTAL IS THE SAME AS OWNING A HOME

In some states, counties, and cities, they have strict laws for landlords, and a property manager can handle most of these challenges.  Investor landlords would pay for finding and screening tenants, or hiring a local REALTOR to do that, and also up to 10% of monthly rent for management fees.

Orange County CA Home Sales Positive Numbers during August 2011

ORANGE COUNTY CA REAL ESTATE

 

Positive numbers at Orange County CA home selling market during August 2011 are encouraging.

However, Orange County housing markets remain unstable, and it's hard to tell what is an anomaly or start of a positive trend.

  • 2,780 OC homes sold during August 2011, which is up 9.5 percent from August 2010.  
  • 1,834 detached single family homes sold during August 2011, which is up 13.1 percent from last year.
  • 793 condo homes were resold during August 2011, which is about the same as last year. 
  • 153 new homes were sold (5.5 percent of total sold market).
  • Sales of homes over $700k was down more than 10 percent from last year.
  • Median OC home sold price at $420k is lowest in five years.

LIVE AT ORANGE COUNTY CA

Inventory of homes listed for sale over $700k is rising, and average time to sell in this range increased and favors buyers.

Orange County CA is like other local areas in California and depends upon jobs and good employment opportunities for residents and property owners.  We have a low unemployment rate compared to other counties, but it's still too high.

Irvine CA City Council Approves Developer Agreement for New Homes Near the OC Great Park

IRVINE, CA

 

The Irvine CA City Council on September 13, 2011, approved an agreement requiring a developer of homes at adjoining property near the Orange County Great Park to provide $40.5 million in funding over the next six years to the city.

OC GREAT PARK 2011

This agreement also requires Heritage Fields El Toro LLC — developer of Great Park Neighborhoods, with 4,900 new homes proposed, which will be around the Great Park by 2013 — to speed up construction of park and neighborhood infrastructure, build two hotels and a $5 million joint welcome center for the park and neighborhoods.

The agreement also reduced the size of planned Upper Canyon feature laid out in the park's Master Plan and allows for road crossings through the canyon.

Irvine and Orange County are fortunate to have this project and ORANGE COUNTY GREAT PARK ready to move forward, and it's expected to stimulate the economy and help create jobs.
