Sell a house with us   

For sellers, bringing an agent into the fold sooner rather than later eliminates the possibility of unnecessary steps in prepping a house for the market. During initial interviews, we will likely tour your house and tell you which updates, repairs and renovations will help you get top dollar for the property.
Sellers can expect recommendations to prepare the house for the market, whether that means making updates that require a contractor or simply tidying up the place. We will also help provide information on what price the house is likely to sell for, based on recent sales of similar homes in the area. Once the house is officially for sale, we will market the property, typically through a number of online platforms, as well as by contacting our partners, investors and buyers. We will host open houses for your property and serve as the liaison between you and the buyer’s side when an interested party wants to tour the home outside of an open house. We will report purchase offers to you and help you formulate a counteroffer. You make all final decisions regarding price and whether to accept an offer.

Once you go under contract, we will help you navigate the steps leading to the closing date, including meeting with the inspector, working with the title insurance company and answering questions from the lender to ensure you get to the closing table.

Want to invest into CA real estate? There are some ideas to do it.

Buy A Rental Property

One of the most challenging aspects of buying rental properties is compiling a complete list of all expenses. Failure to take into account even one upfront capital outlay or ongoing expense can lead you to an inaccurate estimate of the cost and income potential of your property.

That list of expenses is long and includes agent/broker commissions for acquiring the property, mortgage fees, cleaning and maintenance, repairs, utilities, insurance, advertising for tenants, mortgage interest, property management, your time and expense traveling to and from the property, taxes and tax-return prep, legal fees, the costs to replace appliances, etc.

It is extremely difficult if not impossible to know in advance all of the expenses your rental property may require. For this reason, as you are calculating a property’s income potential, it is important to gather as much information on the property and similar properties in the area as possible. It is also advisable to err on the conservative side in your calculations —

factoring in an additional percentage of expenses for unforeseen costs.

Financing a Rental Property

Financing an income property is typically more difficult than financing a home or other primary residence.

The major distinction is the size required for the down payment. Whereas home buyers with strong credit can find financing opportunities that require just a few percent down on a primary residence, investors typically must put down at least 20%.

There are other financing options available, however, some quite creative. For example, an investor can ask for “seller financing” or “owner financing,” where the owner of the property serves as the bank or mortgage company, and the investor places an amount of money down for the purchase and promises a certain amount monthly — just as they would do with a traditional mortgage company.

Indeed, these transactions in most ways mimic a standard mortgage arrangement, involving agents and an escrow company, and the investor’s credit and good name are just as much on the line for satisfying the mortgage responsibility as they would be if the loan were held by a big bank.

An investor can even raise the needed down payment through other means, such as by taking out a home equity line of credit on their primary residence (or other property), or even through a real estate crowdfunding platform like RealtyMogul.com.

Buying a Vacation Rental Property

Another way to invest in rental property is by buying and renting out a residence in a vacation destination.

But as exciting as the idea of owning a vacation rental can be, you need to understand the realities of such an investment — and subject it to the same business calculations you would with any other rental investment.

One challenge to owning a vacation rental is that, because they will likely not be rented 100% of the year — and in many cases only for a few months of the year — your per-night or per-week rental rates will need to be high to keep your investment cash-flow positive for the year. (After all, you can’t take a break from your mortgage payments in the slow season).

Another thing you should consider when deciding whether or not a vacation rental is a smart investment for you are the expenses of owning such properties — and these are often higher than they would be for comparable properties not in vacation hotspots. The cost of advertising your rental unit, for example, will almost certainly be high because it could take slick, elaborate ads to entice prospective vacationers.

Additionally, because your vacation property can be turning over much more frequently than would a standard residential rental, you could also need to spend more money per year on cleaning, replacing broken or missing items, insurance, etc.

For these reasons, vacation rentals can be among the most challenging types of rental properties for investors.

1. Hire the Right House Flipping Professionals

House flipping professional include attorneys, accountants, REALTORs, and contractors. You can find them through investor referrals, online searches and reviews and investment groups.

The right house flipping professionals help you better understand how to get into house flipping, help prevent mistakes and ensure your business is following legal guidelines.

Not all of these professionals are needed right away and most of them are hired per project, instead of as an added payroll expense. If you have already started on a project, it is fine to hire a general contractor first. If this isn’t the case, then it is recommended to make an attorney your first hire. A REALTOR can be hired when you start looking for houses and specialists like an architect only need to be hired when the project requires it.

Some important house flipping pros you may want to hire include:

Attorney: Choose an attorney that specializes in real estate. He or she draws up contracts and makes sure your business is in compliance with local ordinances.

Accountant: Help set up your business structure, file taxes for your fix and flip business, track your expenses and know what items are allowed to be written off.

REALTOR: We give you accurate market data for the neighborhood you are flipping in. We have industry knowledge and provide more accurate information than a real estate website. Our real estate team works on commission and paid by the seller.

General contractor: We are glad to offer you our construction team. We are licensed, bonded and insured in California. Without a GC, you have to oversee the job site yourself. This increases your timeline and allows room for errors; both of which cut into profits.

Architect: They are only needed for larger projects like adding on rooms or changing the home’s structure. If an architect isn’t used, the structural integrity of the house could become compromised, which can end up costing you thousands of dollars. Our architectural service starts from $199/sq ft.

Handyman: We have in-house laborers, who also can help with the project on hourly basis. This person doesn’t need to be licensed. By using a handyman, you don’t have to spend the time and effort on a DIY project.

Assistant: After you have met with the right professionals and have a few rehab projects under your belt, you may want to hire an assistant to help with everyday business activities. An assistant is for the house flipper that is doing five or more fix and flips per year and is truly running a house flipping business. Our company offers you a project management service which costs you 10% of the project.

We are experienced professionals who knows how to do the specific job. This saves you money in the long run. You don’t want to pay to have the same job done twice if the first time is done poorly.
