27 Cats to a Million Dollar Complex - Invest in Value

Today I wanted to offer a play-by-play on just one of our investment clients:

2013: Purchased a 3 bed condo in South Coast Metro for $128,000. There were 27 cats that lived in this property, all without litter boxes, the smell from the nitrogen in the urine permeated everything, along the top of all the walls had 8 inches of mold, floors were all warped. Funny thing was, they had a $2,000 Viking stainless steel range stove, nearly brand new.
2013: Spend $23,000 to fix it up, including new everything. Little to no repair work for 7 years afterwards because we did it right to begin with. Instant equity as price was $175,000.
2013: Rented for $1,700
2014: Rent increase to $1,750
2015: Rent increase to $1,800
2016: Rent increase to $1,850
2017: Rent increase to $1,950
2018: New tenant, rented for $2,000
2019: New tenant, rent for $2,300
2020: SOLD during the Coronavirus for $360,000, under contract with the proceeds for most of the downpayment for a $1.367M 4plex purchase in La Habra, $7,100 in collected rent, no lates for April or May.

Total rent collected (approx) in 7 years (getting paid to wait): $155,400
Approx rental expenses in 7 years: $65,000
Original Purchase + Rehab: $151,000
Sales Price (net of fees): $338,600
New Money: $90,000
Borrowed money at a 4% interest rate
Monthly payment, including expenses: $5,400
Net cash flow: $1,700 per month
AND
Paying off mortgage at about $1,200 per month
NEW ROI of $34,800 per year PLUS a new depreciation base to shield income, about a $40,000 annual tax writeoff per year.

Versus doing nothing, at $19,200 per year with only about a $4,000 annual tax writeoff per year

We at the Results Real Estate Group believe that price becomes an issue only in the absence of value, while others worry about paying commissions and hire cut rate brokers, we aim to maximize investment returns through sound operations and placing our chips in the right place. Give us a call today to see how we can build your legacy.

Your First Home: Step 8-Protect Your Investment

Welcome to the world of home ownership, besides feeling like you signed your life away-how does it feel? You may find yourself feeling pride of ownership, because you now in fact own something. But with great power comes great responsibility-home maintenance. One of the best resources for you, even after the transaction, is going to be your real estate agent. Chances are, if you need a specific kind of vendor-they have one they trust and can refer you to. Home maintenance falls into two categories: Keep it clean and keep an eye on it. Review the maintenance needs for your home once you are settled in plan for regular service. If you notice something different, investigate it and fix it. A small problem not treated turns into a massively more expensive problem when ignored. Be sure to also read your home warranty, some of the repairs that come up may be covered. Also, have reserves set up for “Life Happens” situations. Finally, the most important part, Housewarming Party! Nothing w...

How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Coronavirus

Greetings, Today I wanted to simply jot down some thoughts I had about this novel coronavirus (COVID-19) that the news cycle seems to love to talk about: - Will real estate values be affected? The answer is the same as every real estate question, it depends. I believe luxury will be impacted, I think more modest dwellings will not, and for a very simple reason, there is not more inventory and people have to live somewhere. - Is this our 1987 moment? In 1987 we had Black Monday, the biggest one day stock market drop in history, afterwards, real estate prices went up in a straight line for 18 months. Just like any good investor, when there is a shock to the system, you have to recalibrate, you either go to safety (or even relative safety, like houses versus paper ownership in a company), or you go to what has been undervalued. I suspect there is a good chance this is our 1987 moment for real estate. The 80's are dead, long live the 80's. - The drop in stock price...

Your First Home: Step 7-Close

We got through the home inspection, that was intense. What’s next? Why, title and appraisal of course! We are in the home stretch; you can do this. As the lender is finalizing the mortgage, they are doing a little bit more digging: appraisal to confirm the value, survey to confirm the boundaries, title to verify ownership, and title insurance. Appraisers will look at the home and comps to determine what they think the home is worth and relay this to you and the lender. The lender will only write a loan for the home’s appraised value, so if there is a difference between selling price and appraisal price-buyer and seller have to come together to cover the gap. Therefore, it is important to create a win-win situation, both parties have to work together at times. Survey is to determine where the homes boundaries are and are not. You would be surprised how many times a neighbor’s fence may be on your property due to boundaries of each property being forgotten over time and various homeo...
