(Bad credit home loans) Building a Real Estate Website

By Alan Brymer

 It’s time to make a website. Why? Well, quite frankly a website advertising your real estate properties will save you time and money. And in the end, isn’t it all about money? Let’s face it…would you rather have people calling you and taking all the calls alone? Or hire someone and pay a salary to answer calls? No way! A website makes it easy for people to fill out a short form and give you their information.

Building a website is simple. It just takes a little bit of time. With just a few simple pieces, you’re website will be up and running in no time.

1. Write a headline. The headline goes at the top of the page. This doesn’t have to be anything fancy. Something simple, describing your website, is all it takes. For example, “Click this button to start getting noticed of homes 20% under marketing value.”

2. Add a picture. Any picture will work. Put up a picture of a house, the property, a picture of someone jumping for joy with a For Sale in the front yard. A picture will grab attention, so don’t leave this important detail out. In real estate, image is everything, so make sure the picture you choose relays the right message.

3. Write a couple of paragraphs about you. This is where you put who you are, what you do, why you’re doing this, and what happens when they give you their email address.

4. Make room for two boxesone for the name and one for the email address. You’ve got to have a quick and easy place to collect this information. These boxes are especially important to spread the word about your real estate properties.

5. Add a button. This is the last piece at the bottom of the page. This button will add the new contact to your autoresponder list.

That’s it! Creating a website advertising your real estate properties can be done with just these five simple steps. Once you get the initial website up and running, you can add more content, photos, and other pieces as time goes on.

What Is a No-Frills Mortgage?

By Cam

 While No-Frills mortgage products typically offer a lower - or more discounted - interest rate when compared with many other available products, the lower rate is really their only benefit.

This type of product may seem ideal for you, but only if you have no plans to take advantage of other benefits which will help you pay off your mortgage faster - such as pre-payment privileges including lump-sum payments.
Essentially, this product is ideal for first-time homebuyers who want fixed payments and have limited opportunities to make lump-sum payments during the first five years of their mortgage; and property investors who need the lowest fixed rate and are not concerned with making lump-sum payments.
Typically, No-Frills products also won’t let you take your mortgage with you. This means that if you purchase another property before your mortgage term is up portability is not available with this product. Portability is an important option that can save you money over the long term if the home of your dreams is available to purchase before your mortgage term is up and rates have risen. They have a tendency to do this over a five-year period.
It is understandable why these products may seem appealing. After all, during tougher economic times, who has the extra cash to put down a huge lump-sum payment?
And who needs a portable mortgage if they’re not planning on moving until the market picks up? However, it’s important to remember that a lot can change over the course of five years - or whatever term you choose for your mortgage.
Yet, you can still obtain great mortgage savings without giving up the perks of traditional mortgages. For starters, many lenders are willing to offer significant discounts if you opt for a 30-day “quick” close.
There are, however, other ways in which to earn your own discounts and reduce the amount of interest you pay. For instance, by switching to weekly or bi-weekly mortgage payments, and by obtaining a variable-rate mortgage, but increasing your payments to match those of the current five-year fixed rate, you’ll be ahead of the typical 0.1% discount of a No-Frills product within approximately three years.
No-Frills products represent a great example of why interest rates are not the only important factor to consider when deciding whether to opt for a particular mortgage product. Much like buying a car, you get what you pay for. If you don’t want a car with air conditioning, a stereo, a cup holder, and so on, then you can get the cheapest car going… but you’ll likely regret it later.

Building Wealth with Rental Income

By Luat Tran Van

 Rental income is another way to build wealth. Many investors build a portfolio of rental properties so large that they live off rent payments exclusively. The greater the positive cash flow from rent, the greater the income.

Renting while on vacation is like throwing money out the window, but many people still rent because they are not willing to make the commitment of additional home ownership or have not been able to save enough for the payments.

Owning a rental property or a vacation home that can be rented out to short-term tenants during the off season may be a solution. Instead of renting while on a vacation, many people are opting to own a vacation or second home due to the tax advantages and investment potential of owning real estate. Wealthy people do not own second homes only because they can afford to do so; they also own second homes for tax write-offs or for long-term investments. Many wealthy individuals intentionally maintain mortgages strictly for the tax deduction, even though financing the deal is unnecessary.

Mortgage interest and property taxes are also tax-deductible on a second home. Vacation homes, especially those on the water or on a golf course, will most likely appreciate in value. In Florida, vacation homes are an extremely popular way for many to invest and maintain a get-away shelter. Businesses that own vacation homes for the enjoyment of their associates and clients deduct costs as a business expense.

Some buy residences strictly to rent to long- or short-term tenants. Rental payments help pay off the mortgage while the property appreciates in value, thus building equity. At the same time, landlords may enjoy a positive rental income. Rental properties also qualify for depreciation allowances as a tax benefit.

If you want the benefits of both a second home and a rental property, you can buy a multi-unit apartment and live rent-free in one of the units while the tenants pay the mortgage. In this way, one can act as an on-site owner landlord. Some individuals rent out to tenants for part of the year while remaining up north, then fly south to live in the residence for the other part of the year.

An arrangement offering similar benefits is a time-share, where several individuals retain part-ownership interest in one residence and take turns actually residing in the home. This reduces an individuals risk, commitment and investment, while offering use of a great part-time vacation home.
