Return on investment (ROI) is a commonly used metric when purchasing an investment property. In this post, we show you how that same ROI metric can be utilized later down the line when making decisions about property improvements and help you avoid making renovations and additions that aren’t going to improve the bottom line.
Summary: How do you know if a rental property is a good investment or not? One way is to have the right metric to help you analyze the deal. Problem is, there are so many different metrics out there, it can quickly get overwhelming for the new investor. Part of the issue may be that some investors buy properties without a clear strategy. If you have a clear strategy, then it’s easier to identify the metric that will help you achieve your goals.
Summary: What is cost segregation and bonus depreciation? And more importantly, what are the benefits of cost segregation and bonus depreciation? In this article, we will dive into both. When you are a Real Estate Professional or you materially participate in your short-term rental, you gain access to a whole host of tax advantages that are not available to the average tax-paying high-income professional. Cost segregation/bonus depreciation is just one example of that powerful tax advantage.
Summary: Real estate professional status (REPS) is an IRS designation that lets qualifying taxpayers treat rental real estate losses as non-passive and use them to offset W2 or 1099 clinical income. For doctors and other high-income professionals, it is one of the only ways to significantly reduce taxes while building a real estate portfolio. In this guide, we explain what REPS is, how doctors qualify, and how to use it to shelter your clinical income.
Summary: Delayed financing is a type of financing that is used by some of our students as part of a strategy to lock up deals in a competitive market. In order to take advantage of these loans, you should understand the rules as well as limitations of these loans before implementing this strategy. As you can see below, doing the right thing can lead to success.
Summary: Appraisals are an important part of real estate investing. Many new investors know very little about the real estate appraisal process, and the methods used to appraise properties. In this article, we cover the basics of the appraisal process. We also explain how the valuation plays a role in the amount a lender will loan you. Finally, we discuss the details for advanced investing approaches, such as the BRRRR method.
Summary: Real estate investors often refer to properties (and even to neighborhoods) using a grading system from A to D. A newer investor who is not familiar with these terms may find this classification system to be subjective and often confusing. In this post, I define what we mean by A/B/C/D class properties and explore why Kenji and I prefer buying B/C class properties
Summary: Welcome to the second part of our Real Estate Year in Review: 2020. In Part I, we covered the details of properties we sold in 2020 and learning pearls from each. In this post, we’re going to look at the first two real estate purchases (out of four) from 2020 (using our older properties as down payments). We’ve chosen to openly share our real estate journey this year with all of you in order to give all of you an opportunity to see what we’re doing and to learn from our experiences, so that you can become better investors yourselves!
The Summary: Condos can be a good investment for doctors and other high-income professionals when they behave like any other strong rental: they reliably cashflow after you factor in the mortgage, HOA dues, taxes, insurance, and reserves, and the condo rules allow you to rent the unit the way you intend. The danger is buying beautiful, high-priced Class A condos that lose money every month or are limited by restrictive HOA rules. In this article, we walk through the key considerations so you can decide whether a condo makes sense for your next investment property.
Summary: Vacancy rate is an important component of the cash-on-cash calculator. However, most people don’t know how to calculate it correctly. In this article, we discuss two ways to calculate vacancy and why it’s important to take into consideration both when analyzing deals.
