  34. &lt;h2&gt;Tricks to make it Big with Real Estate Investing&lt;/h2&gt;
  35. &lt;p&gt;Real Estate Investing is one of the most attractive ways of making large amount of money in a short amount of time (if done correctly). Moreover, Real Estate Investing can be very stressful but if you make a mistake it can be very forgiving. When you see the rewards of your efforts it can be very satisfying and addicting.&lt;p&gt;
  36.  
  37. Real Estate Investing is really a skill and, like any skill, it takes time to master.  The main objective is to buy low and sell high and make a profit after paying all the costs involved in the transaction. &lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-u_m1YyHzjmQ/U0VnIzOS1gI/AAAAAAAABYw/lmFZ-LwwfqQ/s1600/167+NW+23rd+Street+-+Back+of+main+duplex+with+new+roof.jpg&quot; title=&quot;Back porch of a rehabbed property. Believe or not that picture is an after picture.&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;Back Porch of 167 NW 23rd Street, Miami, Florida duplex.&quot; src=&quot;http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-u_m1YyHzjmQ/U0VnIzOS1gI/AAAAAAAABYw/lmFZ-LwwfqQ/s320/167+NW+23rd+Street+-+Back+of+main+duplex+with+new+roof.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;center&gt;Back Porch of 167 NW 23rd Ave. Duplex&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Generally, people are of the opinion that Real Estate Investing makes sense only when the market is on the rise. However, Real Estate Investing for profits is possible just about any time.  You just have to know when and how to apply different investing strategies when the acquired deal parameters are analyzed. This is part of the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.investmentpropertiesmiamiflorida.com/?page=consulting#duediligence&quot; title=&quot;Click on this link to learn about Due Diligence&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#0000FF&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Due Diligence&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt; process that you will acquire through Real Estate Investing experience.&lt;p&gt;
  38.  
  39. &lt;h3&gt;Here is a list of tricks that can make Real Estate Investing profitable for you:&lt;/h3&gt;
  40. &lt;ol&gt;
  41.   &lt;li&gt;Join a local Real Estate Investment Club. Their name usually end  with &quot;REIA&quot; which stands for &quot;Real Estate Investor Association&quot; so &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.investmentpropertiesmiamiflorida.com/?page=mreia&quot; title=&quot;Click on the Miami Real Estate Investor Association link&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#0000FF&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;MREIA&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt; would stand for&lt;br&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.investmentpropertiesmiamiflorida.com/?page=mreia&quot; title=&quot;Click on the Miami Real Estate Investor Association MREIA link&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#0000FF&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Miami Real Estate Investor Association&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/center&gt; &lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-6irnvlMAmD0/U0VpA13sh6I/AAAAAAAABY8/3F4KUqFHuio/s1600/MREIA+Logo+Complete+Guard+Shack.png&quot;  title=&quot;Miami Real Estate Investor Association MREIA logo&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; alt = &quot;MREIA Logo&quot; src=&quot;http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-6irnvlMAmD0/U0VpA13sh6I/AAAAAAAABY8/3F4KUqFHuio/s200/MREIA+Logo+Complete+Guard+Shack.png&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt; This will provide many advantages and cut done on the learning curve. I like to use &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.creonline.com/Real-Estate-Investment-Clubs/index.html&quot; title=&quot;Lists all the local REIA&#39;s in the United States&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#0000FF&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;CRE Online&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt; web site to find an local investment club near you.&lt;/li&gt;
  42.  
  43.   &lt;li&gt;Look for public auctions, divorce settlements, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.investmentpropertiesmiamiflorida.com/?page=foreclosure&quot; title=&quot;Click HERE to learn about foreclosures&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#0000FF&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;foreclosures&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt; (&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.investmentpropertiesmiamiflorida.com/?page=bankreo&quot; title=&quot;Click HERE for a list of banks with a REO portfolios&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#0000FF&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;bank REO&#39;s&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt;/&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.investmentpropertiesmiamiflorida.com/?page=govagencies&quot; title=&quot;Click HERE to see the list of government owned properties For Sale.&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#0000FF&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;FHA/VA&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt;). Since quick settlement is the preference here (and not price), you might get a property at a price that is much lower than the prevailing market rate. You can then make arrangements to sell it at the market rate over a short period of time. However, make sure that the property is worth the price you are paying. Also be Very Careful with auctions!  Know what you are buying by doing your homework. You might end up buying an easement that you can’t build on or a second mortgage.&lt;/li&gt;
  44.  
  45.   &lt;li&gt;Looking for expired listings.  The old listings that are still unsold may provide you with good Real Estate Investing opportunities. Just get hold of an old newspaper, MLS expired listings and call up the sellers. They might have given up hope of selling that property at all and with a bit of negotiation you can get the property for a real low price.&lt;/li&gt;
  46.  
  47.   &lt;li&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-WuxQkiBwbnk/U0VlQezB03I/AAAAAAAABYk/EQRcbLNkIzY/s1600/167+NW+23rd+Street+-+Bathroom+Unit+%232.jpg&quot; title=&quot;Bathroom needing rehab from a a property in Winnwood section of the City of Miami, Florida&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;Pre rehab bathroom from 167th and 23rd Ave. Miami, Florida&quot; src=&quot;http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-WuxQkiBwbnk/U0VlQezB03I/AAAAAAAABYk/EQRcbLNkIzY/s320/167+NW+23rd+Street+-+Bathroom+Unit+%232.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;center&gt;Bathroom needing rehabbing badly!&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;The hidden treasure or Distressed Property. A really old, high grass, mail coming out of the mailbox, dirty, unpainted looking house may scare off retail buyers but this might be your chance for Real Estate Investing that can yield good profits. Explore these properties and check if spending a bit on them (&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.investmentpropertiesmiamiflorida.com/?page=consulting#rehab&quot; title=&quot;Look at our PDF pointers for rehabbing a property.&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#0000FF&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;rehabbing&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt; them) can make them shine. You can get these at very low prices and make a big profit in a short time. Have a GOOD contractor lined up if you decide to rehab a property. Time is Money!&lt;/li&gt;
  48.  
  49.   &lt;li&gt;Team up with attorneys: There are a number of attorneys who handle property sales on behalf of sellers or in special circumstances (like the death of the property owner - Probate). They might sometimes be looking to dispose a property rather quickly for a lower price. Be the first one to grab such Real Estate Investing opportunity and enjoy the profit.&lt;/li&gt;
  50.  
  51.   &lt;li&gt;Keep tab on the newspaper announcements! Be prepared to act quickly.  This means have CA$H on hand to act quickly! Property sell offs due to deaths, divorce settlements, immediate cash requirements and other reasons are frequently announced in local newspapers or on the internet (&lt;a href=&quot;http://miami.craigslist.org/rea/#list&quot; title=&quot;Great service for Real Estate Investing Opportunities&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#0000FF&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Craig’s List&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt;).

  144. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;h2&gt;The components that make up a Florida Mortgage&lt;/h2&gt;
  145. &lt;p&gt;I was surprised to find out most people, who are home owners or my students, do not know what their mortgage consists of!  Biggest financial transaction of your life and you can’t recall the interest rate that you are paying? As the sports analysts say – &lt;font style=&quot;background-color:yellow&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&quot;C&#39;Mon Man!&quot;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  146. &lt;p&gt;One of the questions I ask my Real Estate Mentoring Students or Clients, what are the three parts of a Florida Mortgage? Most say the mortgage and stop with blank stare? So today I am going to discuss the three parts that make up your Mortgage in Florida.  They Are:&lt;/p&gt;
  147. &lt;ol&gt;
  148.      &lt;li&gt;Note&lt;/li&gt;
  149.      &lt;li&gt;Mortgage&lt;/li&gt;
  150.      &lt;li&gt;Deed&lt;/li&gt;
  151. &lt;/ol&gt;
  152. &lt;p&gt;That is why you have so many papers to sign at closing!&lt;/p&gt;
  153. &lt;h3&gt;Note or Promissory Note &lt;/h3&gt;
  154. &lt;p&gt;A note or Promissory Note can be drawn up using a template you bought in Office Depot!  It is real simple!  A note is contract or document signed by the people who agree to pay the debt. It doesn&#39;t have to be you!  It is anyone willing to pay back, usually with interest and terms, a debt that has been incurred.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; In real estate, it is typically a borrower or buyer agreeing to make monthly payments of principal and interest over 15 - 30 years to a lender, usually a bank but it could be an individual. (Good Cash Flow Strategy!) If the borrower doesn’t pay, the LENDER can sue &quot;under the note&quot; for breaking the contract. Usually in Real Estate, the property serves as collateral if there is a breach of contract.&lt;/p&gt;
  155. &lt;h4&gt;Mortgage&lt;/h4&gt;
  156. &lt;p&gt;A mortgage is document that transfers interest in property. While a mortgage is tied to the debt created by the note, it is not a promise to pay the debt. It contains language which gives the lender the right to take back the property if the borrower/buyer goes into default and doesn’t pay under the terms of the note signed. In other words, what will happen if you breech the Promissory Note.&lt;/p&gt;
  157. &lt;h5&gt;Deed&lt;/h5&gt;
  158. &lt;p&gt;A deed is the document that passes the &lt;font style=&quot;background-color:yellow&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;TITLE&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt; from the grantor (Seller/Owner) to the grantee (Buyer/Future Owner). There are two basic types of deeds.
  159. &lt;ul&gt;
  160.      &lt;li&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Quitclaim Deed&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt; -  passes whatever title or rights the grantor (Seller/Owner) has in the property to the grantee (Buyer/Future Owner) without any warranty.&lt;/li&gt;
  161.      &lt;li&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Warranty Deed&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt; - contains promises made by the grantor (Seller/Owner) about the title or rights conveyed. In other words, he is warranting a &quot;Clear and Marketable Title.&quot;&lt;/li&gt;
  162. &lt;/ul&gt;
  163. &lt;p&gt;A deed must contain legal description of the property and must be signed in front of a notary public in the State of Florida.&lt;/p&gt;
  164. &lt;p&gt;A title is the bundle of legal rights the owner has in real property or asset. In other words, the title is the ownership of the property. &lt;/p&gt;
  165.  
  166. &lt;p&gt;P.S. Make sure you sign all documents in Blue Ink and the mortgage is recorded at the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.investmentpropertiesmiamiflorida.com/?page=clerkofthecourt&quot; title=&quot;Click HERE access Clerk of the Court and Property Info. sites for all Florida Counties.&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Clerk of Court&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; office.

  261. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;h2&gt;Selling Sun Shine Real Estate&lt;/h2&gt;
  262.  
  263. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&quot;Florida is where the Sun Shines&quot;&lt;/strong&gt; - you must have heard this many times. Moderate/warm climate (Yeah Baby!), famous beaches like: South Beach, Crandon Park-Key Biscayne, Coco Beach, Ft. Myers Beach and entertainment venues: Disney World, Epcot, Key West, Lighthouses, make Florida Real Estate very attractive. So that means Florida Real Estate or buying a house in Florida is really good for someone who wants to escape weather elsewhere in America and also add to his/her enjoyment through the Keys, Gulf Coast, Miami Beach and Orlando theme parks.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-K22UZGQ00_c/UtCGJTHDxJI/AAAAAAAABW4/RNOtkRGrzlU/s1600/Top+of+Fort+Myers+Beach+Bridge+north+end+of+the+island..JPG&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-K22UZGQ00_c/UtCGJTHDxJI/AAAAAAAABW4/RNOtkRGrzlU/s320/Top+of+Fort+Myers+Beach+Bridge+north+end+of+the+island..JPG&quot; /&gt;&lt;center&gt;Ft. Myers Beach, North End of the Island &lt;/center&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  264. &lt;p&gt;However, Florida Real Estate is also attractive for Real Estate Investors i.e. people who would like to treat Florida Real Estate as an investment avenue for making profits. Hello! With the property prices rising as much as 25%, Florida Real Estate makes investment sense too. That is one reason why Florida Real Estate is so sought after. If you wanted to look for a really good deal in Florida Real Estate, you should start with looking for places that are still in their development phase i.e. places where the real estate prices are not so high but are expected to go up in the years to come. &lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-0JugwG9D-hg/UtCMcJqWJEI/AAAAAAAABXI/567D5fHwHW0/s1600/Sanibel+Lighthouse.JPG&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-0JugwG9D-hg/UtCMcJqWJEI/AAAAAAAABXI/567D5fHwHW0/s320/Sanibel+Lighthouse.JPG&quot; /&gt;&lt;center&gt;Sanibel Island Lighthouse&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Florida has a ton of development going on in various phases! This is generally a good option for people who are looking to pick up Florida Real Estate as an investment option and/or want to live in the property later on. This is also good for people who are looking for Florida Real Estate or a house in Florida to live in by themselves but don’t mind a bit of inconvenience that is generally associated with a newly developed (rather developing) area. As far as looking for Florida Real Estate listings is concerned, you first need to decide on what location in Florida, Gulf Coast, East Coast, Pan Handle, &lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-phSmRqmNTww/UtCQdUAhh8I/AAAAAAAABXU/ISCxK-y_qY8/s1600/Boardwalk+to+Key+Biscayne+Beach+Father&#39;s+Day+Weekend+Saturday+2011.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-phSmRqmNTww/UtCQdUAhh8I/AAAAAAAABXU/ISCxK-y_qY8/s320/Boardwalk+to+Key+Biscayne+Beach+Father&#39;s+Day+Weekend+Saturday+2011.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;center&gt;Key Biscayne Beach Boardwalk&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Keys, is suitable for you. Again, this will depend on your reason behind going for Florida Real Estate. If you are going for Florida Real Estate purely for investment purposes (you don’t actually want to live in there for now), then you should really be looking for places where the prices are significantly low but are rising or expected to rise in near future. One indication for expected price rise is the influx of a lot of businesses (Home Depot, Walmart, McDonald&#39;s) in the area. Industry/business generally propels development in the area and hence causes the real estate prices to go up. Of course, distress sales, public auctions, bank foreclosures, tax deeds and certificates, buying paper are evergreen opportunities that are available in any place at any time and you should always explore them. If you are going for Florida Real Estate for personal use, then you would be looking at a number of different factors which would basically be related to your convenience and quality of life.&lt;/p&gt;
  265. &lt;p&gt;So Florida is where the sun shines and that is also making Florida Real Estate shine.&lt;/p&gt;
  266. &lt;/div&gt;

  354. &lt;/div&gt;A Real Estate Investor can quickly add value by painting the exterior of a distressed property.  If you are like us, hate painting (long story), we hire someone.&lt;p&gt;While painting to add value to the distressed property, dealing with contractors are going to be one of your biggest headaches. Last year over 3,000 complaints and lawsuits were filed against painting companies in South Florida. Remember, you get what you pay for!&lt;p&gt;Below are questions you need to ask to protect yourself and guarantee the paint job is without unpleasant surprises!&lt;p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-KrDhl400fN4/UrWBNp-LW1I/AAAAAAAABT8/fjsnvSPHtCA/s1600/1184+NW+37th+St+-+Back+View+-+Back+Building.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-KrDhl400fN4/UrWBNp-LW1I/AAAAAAAABT8/fjsnvSPHtCA/s320/1184+NW+37th+St+-+Back+View+-+Back+Building.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;1184 Duplex, back unit before rehab.&quot; /&gt;&lt;center&gt;Before - When we Bought It!&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;Here we go:
  355. &lt;ul&gt;
  356.   &lt;li&gt;INSURANCE
  357.      &lt;ul&gt;
  358.         &lt;li&gt;Do they have an insurance policy with an insurance company or are they &quot;self-insured&quot;?
  359.             &lt;ul&gt;
  360.                &lt;li&gt;Very few moving companies carry genuine insurance. All other painting companies are &quot;self-insured&quot; even though their advertisement might say that they are &quot;insured for your protection&quot;.
  361.                &lt;/li&gt;
  362. &lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Rz1NkOv2y1Y/UrWBbeeO5yI/AAAAAAAABUE/_jQAm771jQc/s1600Copy+of+Updated+1184+NW+37th+St.+-+Back+View+of+Back+Building.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Rz1NkOv2y1Y/UrWBbeeO5yI/AAAAAAAABUE/_jQAm771jQc/s320/Copy+of+Updated+1184+NW+37th+St.+-+Back+View+of+Back+Building.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;1184 Duplex, back unit during rehab&quot; /&gt;&lt;center&gt;Almost There!&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  363.                &lt;li&gt;Estimate should include FREE full-coverage insurance - up to $10,000.
  364.                &lt;/li&gt;
  365.             &lt;/ul&gt;
  366.         &lt;/li&gt;
  367.      &lt;/ul&gt;
  368.   &lt;/li&gt;
  369.   &lt;li&gt;BONDING
  370.      &lt;ul&gt;
  371.         &lt;li&gt;Are they bonded? If they are, it should be on their &quot;Certificate of Insurance&quot;. Most companies are not
  372. bonded. Don&#39;t accept any excuses why they are not. You won&#39;t be protected.
  373.         &lt;/li&gt;
  374.      &lt;/ul&gt;
  375.   &lt;/li&gt;
  376.   &lt;li&gt;BUSINESS STANDING
  377.       &lt;ul&gt;
  378.          &lt;li&gt;Is the company a member of the Better Business Bureau?
  379.          &lt;/li&gt;
  380.              &lt;ul&gt;
  381.                 &lt;li&gt;If so, call and request a report of their standing.
  382.                 &lt;/li&gt;
  383.              &lt;/ul&gt;
  384.          &lt;li&gt;Will they provided you with 3 current references upon request?
  385.          &lt;/li&gt;
  386.       &lt;/ul&gt;
  387.   &lt;/li&gt;
  388.   &lt;li&gt;PRICE
  389.       &lt;ul&gt;
  390.          &lt;li&gt;Ask for two comparison quotes.
  391.             &lt;ul&gt;
  392.                &lt;li&gt;Get one quote based on your entire job.
  393.                &lt;/li&gt;
  394.                &lt;li&gt;Get a second quote based on a calculated &quot;real-time&quot; hourly rate.
  395.             &lt;/ul&gt;
  396.          &lt;/li&gt;
  397.         &lt;li&gt;This way we are assured to always get the better price!
  398.         &lt;/li&gt;
  399.       &lt;/ul&gt;
  400.   &lt;/li&gt;
  401. &lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-X2d2_qW1BGg/UrWBn7zLvAI/AAAAAAAABUM/TNBiRWJWdIM/s1600/1184+NW+37th+St+-+Painted+Back+of+Second+Building+Good+Picture.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-X2d2_qW1BGg/UrWBn7zLvAI/AAAAAAAABUM/TNBiRWJWdIM/s320/1184+NW+37th+St+-+Painted+Back+of+Second+Building+Good+Picture.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;1184 Duplex Back Unit Finished Painting.&quot; /&gt;&lt;center&gt;Finished - Yeah Baby!&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  402.   &lt;li&gt;Do they subcontract their work or perform it themselves?
  403.       &lt;ul&gt;
  404.          &lt;li&gt;We hired a paint contractor and he subcontracted the job.  Job was finished and we paid the contractor.  Found out later the contractor never paid the subcontractor. Be careful because you may be liable to the subcontractor.
  405.          &lt;/li&gt;
  406.       &lt;/ul&gt;  
  407.   &lt;/li&gt;
  408.   &lt;li&gt;Do they offer written guarantees of their work?
  409.   &lt;/li&gt;
  410.   &lt;li&gt;What products do they use?
  411.      &lt;ul&gt;
  412.         &lt;li&gt;Type of paint and sheen, stains,...&lt;/li&gt;
  413.         &lt;li&gt;Are they environmentally friendly?&lt;/li&gt;
  414.         &lt;li&gt;Types of brushes and rollers.&lt;/li&gt;
  415.      &lt;/ul&gt;
  416.   &lt;/li&gt;
  417.   &lt;li&gt;Are they specific by providing in writing the job specifics? Like:
  418.      &lt;ul&gt;
  419.         &lt;li&gt;About which surfaces you want to have painted (walls, trims, moldings, ceilings, etc.)&lt;/li&gt;
  420.         &lt;li&gt;The paint colors and finishes you want used.&lt;/li&gt;
  421.      &lt;/ul&gt;
  422.   &lt;/li&gt;
  423.   &lt;li&gt;Do they provide a written contract?
  424.      &lt;ul&gt;
  425.         &lt;li&gt;Review it carefully.&lt;/li&gt;
  426.      &lt;/ul&gt;
  427.   &lt;/li&gt;
  428.   &lt;li&gt;Dis and re-connect of items as a result of painting?&lt;/li&gt;
  429.   &lt;li&gt;Provide references upon request?
  430.       &lt;ul&gt;
  431.          &lt;li&gt;At least three.&lt;/li&gt;
  432.       &lt;/ul&gt;
  433.   &lt;/li&gt;
  434. &lt;/ul&gt;
  435.  
  436. Painting can be a tedious task and as a homeowners and investors ourselves, we understand the concerns and worries that come with it.

  608. &lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;Living in Florida and not sure what to do about your property taxes? Trying to maximize your investment by reducing your annual property tax expenditure?&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Great news!&lt;/b&gt; Every year in August county appraisers evaluate the assessment for real and tangible property and give taxpayers the opportunity to reduce their taxes by filing an appeal.&lt;p&gt;
  609. &lt;center&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.ryan.com&quot; title=&quot;Click HERE to access Ryan Innovative Solutions to Taxing Problems&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.investmentpropertiesmiamiflorida.com/uppedimages/1376008893Ryan%20Banner%20Logo.GIF&quot; alt=&quot;Ryan Banner Logo&quot; border=&quot;0&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;p&gt;
  610. &lt;h3&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Real property vs. Tangible Personal Property&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
  611. &lt;p&gt;Real property consists of land and any improvements to the land such as buildings. Additionally, any components attached to the land improvements become part of the structure and therefore considered real property.
  612. Property appraisers are required to establish the real property tax base for their county annually. In doing so, they use mass appraisal techniques approved by the Florida Department of revenue to determine the just or market value for each parcel as of January 1. Exemptions, classifications, and assessment limitations are then applied to determine the taxable value.&lt;p&gt;Tangible personal property consists of everything that is in a specific location but not affixed to the land improvement. Things such as furniture, machinery, and fixtures are considered tangible personal property. Inventory and household goods are exempt under Florida statutes.&lt;p&gt;
  613. Every Florida business that owns any tangible personal property as of January 1 must file a return with each county’s property appraiser by April 1. Tax payers have the ability to issue their opinion of value for their personal property by listing it on the property tax rendition. Appraisers will then evaluate the items of personal property and issue an assessment based on Florida guidelines. An automatic $25,000 exemption is applied to every personal property folio.&lt;p&gt;
  614. &lt;h4&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Truth in Millage(TRIM) Notices&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;
  615. &lt;p&gt;Every year in July and August the Department of Revenue reviews the property tax rolls of each county. This ensures that the tax base established by the property appraiser is equitable, uniform, and in compliance with Florida law. The Department also reviews and approves each property appraiser’s annual budget.&lt;p&gt;After the review is completed and approved by the Department of Revenue, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.investmentpropertiesmiamiflorida.com/uppedimages/1376008463Sample%20Trim%20Notice%20Miami-Dade%20County.pdf&quot; title=&quot;Click HERE to view a sample TRIM notice from Miami-Dade County&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;TRIM notices&lt;/a&gt; are issued and mailed out to taxpayers. This notice contains the property’s value as of January 1, the proposed millage rates by each local government, and an estimate of the amount of property taxes owed based on the millage rates. Additionally, the TRIM notice lists the date, time, and location of each local government’s budget hearing so property owners have an opportunity to attend and comment on the millage rates before final approval. After the notice is received, taxpayers have 25 days from the date of the notice to petition the value of their property to the county’s Value Adjustment Board.&lt;p&gt;
  616. &lt;h5&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Appeal Process&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/h5&gt;
  617. If a taxpayer disagrees with the proposed value listed on the TRIM notice, the taxpayer has the opportunity to file a petition with the county’s Value Adjustment Board (VAB).&lt;p&gt;
  618. The VAB consists of five-members which hear and rules on challenges to a property’s assessments, classifications, or exemptions. The value adjustment board is independent from the property appraiser and tax collector and acts as a neutral party to protect the taxpayer’s rights.&lt;p&gt;
  619. In order to challenge a value or exemption, the taxpayer must file Form &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.investmentpropertiesmiamiflorida.com/uppedimages/1376008204Blank%20DR-486.pdf&quot; title=Click HERE to see sample DR-486 form.&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;DR-486&lt;/a&gt; within 25 days of receipt of the TRIM notice. Additionally at least 75% of the outstanding taxes for the year must be paid in order to get the petition considered for hearing. There is a $15 fee for each parcel petitioned except for contiguous property.&lt;p&gt;
  620. Once the petition is processed by the VAB a hearing date is scheduled. Taxpayers must submit all their evidence for the challenge in value to the property appraiser at least 15 days prior to the hearing date. The property appraiser’s office must then submit their evidence within 7 days of the scheduled hearing. Taxpayers and property appraisers have the ability to reject evidence if proper procedure is not followed by either party.&lt;p&gt;
  621. After the evidence is presented, the Special Magistrate appointed by the VAB makes a determination to fully or partially grant the petition or to deny the petition. If the taxpayer or property appraiser disagrees with the magistrate’s decision, they will have an opportunity to take the decision to circuit court.&lt;p&gt;
  622. &lt;strong&gt;Reasons to appeal:&lt;/strong&gt;
  623. &lt;ul&gt;
  624.   &lt;li&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;background-color:yellow&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Opportunity to access the property appraiser’s valuation method.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;
  625.      &lt;ul&gt;
  626.         &lt;li&gt;By filing a petition and promptly submitting evidence to the property appraiser office, the county’s appraisal office is required to provide detail information on how they arrived to the value.
  627.         &lt;/li&gt;
  628.         &lt;li&gt;Taxpayers have the opportunity to discuss with the property appraiser and informally discuss the valuation method prior to presenting to the VAB.
  629.         &lt;/li&gt;
  630.         &lt;li&gt;Most of the time appraiser’s and taxpayers reach a settlement on the value of the property prior to hearing.
  631.         &lt;/li&gt;
  632.      &lt;/ul&gt;
  633.   &lt;/li&gt;
  634.   &lt;li&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;background-color:yellow&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;10% Cap for future years.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;
  635.      &lt;ul&gt;
  636.         &lt;li&gt;Once a property is reduced, by law, the assessment cannot be in excess of 10% for future years, therefore successfully appealing a petition will stabilize the tax expense for future years.
  637.         &lt;/li&gt;
  638.      &lt;/ul&gt;
  639.   &lt;/li&gt;
  640.   &lt;li&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;background-color:yellow&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Low cost.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;
  641.      &lt;ul&gt;
  642.         &lt;li&gt;Only $15 per parcel to process petitions.
  643.         &lt;/li&gt;
  644.      &lt;/ul&gt;
  645.   &lt;/li&gt;
  646.   &lt;li&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;background-color:yellow&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;No Risk.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;
  647.      &lt;ul&gt;
  648.         &lt;li&gt;Unlike other states, once property values are set by the appraiser’s they cannot go up, they can simply go down or if a petition is denied, stay the same.
  649.         &lt;/li&gt;
  650.         &lt;li&gt;Reductions normally range between 10 -15% of the value assessed.
  651.         &lt;/li&gt;
  652.         &lt;li&gt;Most tax consultants will absorb all costs associated with the appeal and only charge once reductions are received by the taxpayers.
  653.         &lt;/li&gt;
  654.      &lt;/ul&gt;
  655.   &lt;/li&gt;
  656. &lt;/ul&gt;
  657. &lt;p&gt;If you are a taxpayer in Florida, be on the lookout for your TRIM notice during the month of August and secure your opportunity to save from 10-15% in your annual property tax expenditure by filing a petition with the county’s Value Adjustment Board by early September.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;

  745. &lt;p&gt;One of my mentoring students the other day asked me: &quot;Where can I post &#39;For Rent&#39; or &#39;For Sale&#39; on the internet?&quot;  He was familiar with the conventional ways but wanted to know what I would recommend concerning the internet.&lt;p&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;float:left;&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;border: thick solid transparent;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.investmentpropertiesmiamiflorida.com/?page=section8&quot; title=&quot;Click HERE to see our Section 8 service&quot; targe=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.investmentpropertiesmiamiflorida.com/uppedimages/1375669083Section%208%20For%20Rent%20Sign.png&quot; alt=&quot;Section 8 For Rent Sign&quot; border=&quot;0&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;We have been preaching to our students to create as many channels as possible to produce the desired outcome.  In this case, what channel(s) could Landlords use to produce the most qualified tenants for their investment properties.&lt;p&gt;We gave it some thought and came up with three channels:&lt;p&gt;
  746. &lt;ul&gt;
  747.   &lt;li&gt;The Retail Classified Market.&lt;/li&gt;
  748.   &lt;li&gt;Low Income and Distressed Families.&lt;/li&gt;
  749.   &lt;li&gt;Video&lt;/li&gt;
  750. &lt;/ul&gt;
  751. &lt;p&gt;

  920. As a Landlord, you want to rent your property as quick as possible.  These tools will establish a very large internet footprint for selling or renting the Landlord&#39;s assets. It is a lot of work but can be very powerful for establishing cash flows.&lt;p&gt;Have you had any success with an internet service concerning an investment property?  If so, we would love to hear about it by posting your success story in the comments section below this post.

  926. &lt;li&gt;Real Estate Investing Tip: Make sure when you are about to sign any real estate contract for a property: Florida FAR BAR, short sale option contract, purchase contract etc...that all parties are there for signature. If the significant other is not present you may have problems later on. By Florida law if the couple is divorced, unless the property has been settled previously (request documentation as proof), both husband and wife are entitled to the property therefore you need both signatures. Your first Question for any deal is &quot;Are You or Have Been married?&quot;
  927. &lt;/li&gt;

  1015. &lt;p&gt;Finding the funds you need to take advantage of the real estate market can be difficult, if not impossible for most people. If you are successful with finding an investor who is willing to fund you with hard or private money, a significant amount of collateral will be required before you can even get started.&lt;p&gt;Aurelian Commercial Lending has developed a unique funding program to help  fund your real estate investment projects. Mr. John Syron has designed this program to provide working capital for both start up companies and seasoned businesses.&lt;p&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.aurelianlending.com&quot; title=&quot;Click HERE to view Aurelian Capital Management web site for all your funding needs.&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.investmentpropertiesmiamiflorida.com/uppedimages/1373646766Aurelian%20Grand%20Blanc%20Office%20256x192.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Office Building of Aurelian Capital Grand Blanc Office&quot; border=&quot;0&quot;&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;center&gt;Aurelian Grand Blanc Office&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;p&gt;Aurelian is well aware of the challenges small businesses face with both starting the business and maintaining profitability. Aurelian Commercial Lending&#39;s founder and CEO, Mr. Syron has ensured that Aurelian has the resources to fund and have access to over $500 million in capital and capital commitments specifically for small businesses.&lt;p&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.aurelianlending.com&quot; title=&quot;Click HERE to view Aurelian Capital Management web site for all your funding needs.&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.investmentpropertiesmiamiflorida.com/uppedimages/1373646722Aurelian_Logo_solid.png&quot; alt=&quot;Logo of Aurelian Capital Management&quot; border=&quot;0&quot;&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;center&gt;Aurelian Capital Management&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;p&gt;In addition to his desire to help small businesses, Mr. Syron founded Aurelian with the purpose of funding his charity for autistic children. Everyone associated with Aurelian shares this commitment and donates their time and effort to support the foundation.&lt;p&gt;Since 1980, Mr. Syron has been building bridges that connect the often-disparate worlds of engineering and manufacturing to commercial financing. Mr. Syron is a graduate Chemical Engineer from Michigan State University. After serving as Vice President of a well-known engineering company for ten years, he founded his own company in 1990, Vector Environmental Group Inc. Vector was a large-scale engineering and manufacturing company with a focus on the environment. The aim was to develop new products and processes that could reduce energy consumption and minimize waste in automobile and steel production.&lt;p&gt; In addition to running his own business,  Mr. Syron contributed significantly in the product development, international and domestic market expansion, capital acquisition and commercial financing of numerous Fortune 500 companies.&lt;p&gt;Our &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.investmentpropertiesmiamiflorida.com/uppedimages/1373646655aurelianflyer%20line%20of%20credit%20flyer.pdf&quot; title=&quot;Click HERE to view our line of credit benefits flyer.&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;program&lt;/a&gt; allows clients the ability to:

  1017.   &lt;li&gt; Purchase real estate.&lt;/li&gt;
  1018.   &lt;li&gt; Pay any sort of fees related to starting a business, there are no restrictions on the money.&lt;/li&gt;
  1019.   &lt;li&gt; Have working capital to start or expand the business (purchase property, equipment, supplies, marketing and other essentials).&lt;/li&gt;

This is per person, so multiple people can apply to obtain larger levels of funding for your company.&lt;p&gt;For Start up businesses our only requirement is a strong &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.investmentpropertiesmiamiflorida.com/uppedimages/1373646593LOC%20Criteria.pdf&quot; title=&quot;Click HERE to view Line of Credit Personel Profile Criteria&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;personal credit profile&lt;/a&gt;:

  1053.   &lt;li&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;background-color:yellow&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Real Estate Investing Tip&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;: Make sure when a potential client places a deposit for a rental property, you make them sign a document that explains the rules of the deposit, refund or non-refund terms, what it represents, disclosures, etc. Several times I received calls from potential clients wanting their deposits back after you, the landlord, already took your property off the market. Protect Yourself.&lt;/li&gt;

  1139. &lt;h1&gt;Distressed Property Insurance&lt;/h1&gt;
  1140. &lt;p&gt;As our group started out as specialists in distressed properties, one of the problems we came across was insurance coverage for asset and worker protection.  We thought if the Bank won&#39;t insure it, no one else will.  But let’s look at it from the Lenders point of view.&lt;p&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.investmentpropertiesmiamiflorida.com/uppedimages/1372438784167%20NW%2023rd%20St%20Inside%20Living%20Room%20Unit%202.png&quot; title=&quot;Inside Living Room 167 Street Rehab&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.investmentpropertiesmiamiflorida.com/uppedimages/1372438784167%20NW%2023rd%20St%20Inside%20Living%20Room%20Unit%202.png&quot; alt=&quot;167 Street Living Room Unit 2 Rehab Duplex&quot; border=&quot;0&quot;&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#0000FF&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;Why would you Insure this Property?&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;p&gt;Investors always preach, leverage someone else&#39;s money not yours.  That&#39;s true but Lenders are taking a risk.  What happens if an injury occurred on the property or the asset burns down?  The Lender is either stuck with court costs, fines, hospital bills or his money is gone due to the lack of insurance. So FYI...Lenders are going to make you insure the property. We rather get our own policy than make forced payments to the Lender&#39;s insurance policy.&lt;p&gt;Depending on your exit strategy, you will eventually need some type of insurance.
  1141. &lt;p&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.investmentpropertiesmiamiflorida.com/uppedimages/12928688841184%20NW%2037th%20St%20-%20Front%20Main%20Building.jpg&quot; title=&quot;Front of 1184 NW 37th Street Rehab&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.investmentpropertiesmiamiflorida.com/uppedimages/13724380471184%20Front%20View%20of%20Property.png&quot; alt=&quot;Front View 1184 Rehab Duplex&quot; border=&quot;0&quot;&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#0000FF&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;Would You Insure This Property?&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/center&gt;
  1142. &lt;p&gt;Below is an outline of some of the coverage’s we implemented while bringing properties back online:
  1143.  
  1144. &lt;h2&gt;Types of Insurance Coverage or Services&lt;/h2&gt;
  1145. &lt;p&gt;
  1146. &lt;ul&gt;
  1147.   &lt;li&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;background-color:yellow&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Builders Risk Renovation Policy&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt; - Provides coverage that protects a person&#39;s or company&#39;s interest in materials, supplies and equipment used in the rehab or construction of an asset should these items become lost or damaged.
  1148.   &lt;/li&gt;
  1149.   &lt;li&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;background-color:yellow&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Liability Insurance&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt; -  It protects the property owner in the event he or she is sued for claims that come within property boundaries.  The policy is designed to offer protection against third-party insurance claims, like contracted workers or tenants.
  1150.   &lt;/li&gt;
  1151.   &lt;li&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;background-color:yellow&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Windstorm&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt; - Most policies issued today DO NOT cover damage from high winds.  It is very difficult to get a windstorm rider due to the size of the deducible, ranges from 10K to 15K.
  1152.   &lt;/li&gt;
  1153.   &lt;li&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;background-color:yellow&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Flood&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt; - Damaged caused by rising water.  Broken pipe or hoses causes damage to interior of unit or building. Flooding caused by storm surge.
  1154.   &lt;/li&gt;
  1155.   &lt;li&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;background-color:yellow&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Fire, Theft and Vandalism&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt; - During rehab you can expect one of these three items to occur.  Are you protected from these likely events?
  1156.   &lt;/li&gt;
  1157.   &lt;li&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;background-color:yellow&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Insurance Loss Consultants&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt; - Provides Claims Representation to Policyholders. If you experience an event that financial hardship will occur, the insurance company is going to use every resource available to limit the payout amount and the policyholder is expecting the repairs to be done with no out-of-pocket expense, including the deductible. Insurance Loss Consultants make sure that the investor receives the largest benefit to which they are entitled under the insurance policy.
  1158.   &lt;/li&gt;
  1159.   &lt;li&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;background-color:yellow&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;4 Point Inspection&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt; is required if an investment property that your company or contractor is restoring is older than 30 years or being refinanced.   Insurance companies will want to check the following four systems before issuing a Homeowners policy:
  1160.      &lt;ul&gt;
  1161.         &lt;li&gt;Roof&lt;/li&gt;
  1162.         &lt;li&gt;HVAC - Heat, Ventilation and Air Conditioning&lt;/li&gt;
  1163.         &lt;li&gt;Electrical&lt;/li&gt;
  1164.         &lt;li&gt;Plumbing&lt;/li&gt;
  1165.      &lt;/ul&gt;
  1166.   &lt;/li&gt;
  1167.   &lt;li&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;background-color:yellow&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Our Contacts&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt; - These are companies that specialize in issuing policies that are going to protect you against the hazards of being a real estate investor.

  1177.      &lt;/ul&gt;
  1178.   &lt;/li&gt;
  1179. &lt;/ul&gt;
  1180. &lt;p&gt;
  1181. In the beginning of the rehab depending on your exit strategy, insurance might not be needed but you will eventually. Remember, any property has value even if you can&#39;t see it. Are you prepared to lose that value if you don&#39;t insure it?

  1270. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  1271. As soon as we close on an Investment Property, we want to implement our Exit Strategy.  The faster you get this distressed investment property back on-line the less money you are losing due to holding costs and the quicker the asset will cash flow. Every step we implement adds value to the property.&lt;p&gt;The first part of bringing the property back on-line is to Clean and Secure the property.  This adds the most value to the property with minimum overhead. Below is an outline that describes the basic process of cleaning and securing a real estate investment property. By the way, most of these steps you can do it yourself.
  1272. &lt;h1&gt;Clean and Secure Process&lt;/h1&gt;
  1273. &lt;table&gt;
  1274.  &lt;tbody&gt;
  1275.         &lt;tr&gt;
  1276.             &lt;td&gt;
  1277.                &lt;ul&gt;
  1278.                   &lt;li&gt;Removal of debris from Interior &amp; Exterior of House - If the investment property has been abandoned or on the market for a while, chances are there has been a buildup of debris and the property was broken into and trashed.  The property becomes an eyesore and the city is just waiting to pounce on the new owner.
  1279.                      &lt;ul&gt;
  1280.                         &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhNItP9BkQLpxyhEtUff6s_N8MuJzNv4j5AxZqqigx5k3ExYCh2lXky5I3jArx7BwV5CJopl9DG2ZtjipyUL7Iawfx1WlooIE41X6QE1BpOjliemBmWnz27dryySAJJmNpNQ3ERoQ7YFms/s1600/Dumpster.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; title=&quot;Dumpster for cleaning interior and exterior of investment property&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhNItP9BkQLpxyhEtUff6s_N8MuJzNv4j5AxZqqigx5k3ExYCh2lXky5I3jArx7BwV5CJopl9DG2ZtjipyUL7Iawfx1WlooIE41X6QE1BpOjliemBmWnz27dryySAJJmNpNQ3ERoQ7YFms/s320/Dumpster.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Dumpster container picture from Ocala property.&quot; /&gt;&lt;center&gt;Dumpster for Debris&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
  1281.                         &lt;li&gt;Order a Dumpster - Depending on the amount of debris, you may have to order a dumpster.  Delivery and removal are handled by the Dumpster Company.  You just pile in the debris.
  1282.                             &lt;ul&gt;
  1283.                                &lt;li&gt;Can be very expensive.&lt;/li&gt;
  1284.                                &lt;li&gt;Neighbors will help themselves by using your dumpster to pile in their debris.&lt;/li&gt;
  1285.                                &lt;li&gt;Permit Fee is built into the price. The City keeps track.
  1286.                                   &lt;ul&gt;
  1287.                                      &lt;li&gt;Suddenly, city inspectors will begin to show up to see what you are up to and do you have the proper permits.&lt;/li&gt;
  1288.                                   &lt;/ul&gt;
  1289.                                &lt;li&gt;Neighbors can see the dumpster on the premises.  They will report you to the City.&lt;/li&gt;
  1290.                             &lt;/ul&gt;
  1291.                         &lt;li&gt;Finish cleaning and get rid of the dumpster as soon as possible.  Less attention.
  1292.                         &lt;/li&gt;
  1293.                        
  1294.                      &lt;/ul&gt;
  1295.                   &lt;/li&gt;
  1296.                   &lt;li&gt;Recycle Materials - Every house contains items that you can recycle and receive money for these items.  We are serious!  You can start pulling cash out of the property right away.
  1297.                      &lt;ul&gt;
  1298.                         &lt;li&gt;eBay - You can place in eBay&#39;s Classifieds an ad selling items you found inside the property. It Works!&lt;/li&gt;
  1299.                         &lt;li&gt;Metals - based on cost per pound.
  1300.                            &lt;ul&gt;
  1301.                               &lt;li&gt;Non-Ferrous - You know the metal that doesn&#39;t let a magnet stick to it.
  1302.                                  &lt;ul&gt;
  1303.                                     &lt;li&gt;Copper, Brass, Aluminum, Lead, Tin, Nickel, Gold, Silver&lt;/li&gt;
  1304.                                     &lt;li&gt;A/C Coils, Radiators, Batteries, Pots, Stainless Steel, Motors, Transmissions, Bathroom Fixtures, Electrical Wire.&lt;/li&gt;
  1305.                                  &lt;/ul&gt;
  1306.                               &lt;/li&gt;
  1307.                               &lt;li&gt;Scrap - Less money. Pull wiring and motors off of appliances and recycle them separately.
  1308.                                  &lt;ul&gt;
  1309.                                     &lt;li&gt;Iron, Steel, Sheet Metal, Rebar&lt;/li&gt;
  1310.                                     &lt;li&gt;Old Appliances, Water Heaters, Non-Copper Pipes&lt;/li&gt;
  1311.                                     &lt;li&gt;Dryer &amp; Stove Electrical Wiring
  1312.                                        &lt;ul&gt;
  1313.                                           &lt;li&gt;Three prong cords - Found on ranges and dryers.&lt;/li&gt;
  1314.                                        &lt;/ul&gt;
  1315.                                     &lt;/li&gt;
  1316.                                  &lt;/ul&gt;
  1317.                               &lt;/li&gt;
  1318.                            &lt;/ul&gt;
  1319.                         &lt;/li&gt;
  1320.                      &lt;/ul&gt;
  1321.                   &lt;/li&gt;
  1322.                   &lt;li&gt;Make sure all access points are secure
  1323.                      &lt;ul&gt;
  1324.                          &lt;li&gt;Doors with locks
  1325.                             &lt;ul&gt;
  1326.                                &lt;li&gt;Locksmith - You made need one if you are not handy with installation&lt;/li&gt;
  1327.                             &lt;/ul&gt;
  1328.                          &lt;/li&gt;
  1329.                          &lt;li&gt;Windows are covered with wood, rejas (metal bars) or original window.
  1330.                             &lt;ul&gt;
  1331.                                &lt;li&gt;If glass is cracked or missing must board whole window.&lt;/li&gt;
  1332.                                &lt;li&gt;Board on window must be painted &amp; uniform with other boarded windows.&lt;/li&gt;
  1333.                                &lt;li&gt;If there are iron bars on the bedroom windows, they must have breakaways. Minimum size 20 x 41 inches.&lt;/li&gt;
  1334.                                &lt;li&gt;If all windows are boarded, air holes must be drilled into plywood to provide ventilation.&lt;/li&gt;
  1335.                                &lt;li&gt;Independent Securing Service - If you don&#39;t want to board up your property by yourself.&lt;/li&gt;
  1336.                             &lt;/ul&gt;
  1337.                          &lt;/li&gt;
  1338.                          &lt;li&gt;Secure your Outside Water Access - People will &lt;a href=&quot;http://real-estate-investment-commentary.blogspot.com/2011/12/secure-your-property-for-before.html&quot; title=&quot;REIC&#39;s Secure Your Property Blog posting&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;steal your water&lt;/a&gt;, especially if your neighbors have well water and you are connected to the City Water System.

  1349.                      &lt;/ul&gt;                      
  1350.                   &lt;/li&gt;

  1355. &lt;/table&gt;
  1356. &lt;p&gt;
  1357. By cleaning and securing the property you are adding value to your property right away, preventing break-ins, getting the city off your back and who knows, sell it as is to another investor for a nice profit!&lt;p&gt;

  1446. &lt;p&gt;
  1447. You think you found the property you are going to make some money on but once you close on a property, responsibility for this asset becomes all yours, good and bad.  In order to be a successful real estate investor you need to make sure you don&#39;t make any mistakes.  If you do, it will be small one and easily forgotten when you cash your first check.&lt;p&gt;Below is a list of items you should be checking before you make an offer.
  1448.  
  1449. &lt;h1&gt;Due Diligence on Your First Deal&lt;/h1&gt;
  1450. &lt;table width=&quot;100%&quot;&gt;
  1451.      &lt;tr&gt;
  1452.         &lt;td width=&quot;85%&quot; align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-0KxGZGGZFqg/UaqC1i3dNKI/AAAAAAAABFI/VjvAMySWk2Y/s1600/167+NW+23rd+Street+-+Inside+Kitchen+Unit+%231.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; title=&quot;Wynwood Duplex Kitchen before rehab&quot; &gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-0KxGZGGZFqg/UaqC1i3dNKI/AAAAAAAABFI/VjvAMySWk2Y/s320/167+NW+23rd+Street+-+Inside+Kitchen+Unit+%231.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Duplex Kitchen before rehab in Wynwood Miami&quot; /&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;center&gt;Wynwood Duplex Kitchen before Rehab&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
  1453.       &lt;/tr&gt;
  1454. &lt;/table&gt;
  1455. &lt;ul&gt;
  1456.   &lt;li&gt;Inspection
  1457.      &lt;ul&gt;
  1458.          &lt;li&gt;Upon Entering the property look for visual clues that indicate the current condition of the house.&lt;/li&gt;
  1459.          &lt;li&gt;Look for things that should be there but are not.
  1460.             &lt;ul&gt;
  1461.                &lt;li&gt;A bedroom without a closest. HUD would not consider this a bedroom.&lt;/li&gt;
  1462.             &lt;/ul&gt;
  1463.          &lt;/li&gt;
  1464.          &lt;li&gt;Look for things that are there but shouldn&#39;t be.
  1465.             &lt;ul&gt;
  1466.                &lt;li&gt;A window inside the house that isn&#39;t an exterior window.  Could be a porch that was closed in years ago.&lt;/li&gt;
  1467.             &lt;/ul&gt;
  1468.          &lt;/li&gt;
  1469.          &lt;li&gt;Looks for points of failure
  1470.             &lt;ul&gt;
  1471.                &lt;li&gt;Connections: bathroom fixtures, underneath sinks....&lt;/li&gt;
  1472.                &lt;li&gt;Intersections: roof, ceilings and walls, walls and windows, floors and walls, water stains...&lt;/li&gt;
  1473.                &lt;li&gt;Windows and Doors:  water leaks, holes, broken or cracked pains of glass, widows and doors open and close properly...&lt;/li&gt;
  1474.             &lt;/ul&gt;
  1475.          &lt;/li&gt;
  1476.          &lt;li&gt;Black Mold - Indication of moisture buildup.&lt;/li&gt;
  1477.          &lt;li&gt;Termites - Big problems for us in Florida and Puerto Rico.&lt;/li&gt;
  1478.          &lt;li&gt;Asbestos - Probably present in older homes. Need to check for this.&lt;/li&gt;
  1479.          &lt;li&gt;Environmental Hazards - Underground oil tanks for heating, septic systems. Check the property history.&lt;/li&gt;
  1480.      &lt;/ul&gt;
  1481.   &lt;/li&gt;
  1482.   &lt;li&gt;Comparables or Appraisal - Before purchasing the property see if you can get your hands on:
  1483.      &lt;ul&gt;
  1484.          &lt;li&gt;Recent property appraisal less than 90 days old. Ask the seller if he/she has a copy. &lt;a href=&quot;http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ZCrG17VIA_w/UaqAiF19yPI/AAAAAAAABE4/ovsIkDIuUI8/s1600/60+SW+15+Ave.,+Dania+Beach,+Florida+032606+036.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; title=&quot;Outside view of investment property&quot; &gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ZCrG17VIA_w/UaqAiF19yPI/AAAAAAAABE4/ovsIkDIuUI8/s320/60+SW+15+Ave.,+Dania+Beach,+Florida+032606+036.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Dania Beach Duplex rehab, number 36&quot;/&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;center&gt;Dania Beach Duplex Rehab&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
  1485.          &lt;li&gt;Try to determine the &lt;font style=&quot;background-color:yellow&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;After Repair Value ARV&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt; by getting three property comparables within a 1 mile radius and less than 90 days old.&lt;/li&gt;
  1486.          &lt;li&gt;Use the &lt;a href=&quot;http://real-estate-investment-commentary.blogspot.com/2011/01/using-mao-rule-for-determining-your.html&quot; title=&quot;Click HERE to learn a quick way of determining your purchase price of a property you are interested in buying.&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Maximum Allowable Offer MAO Calculation&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt; to help determine your purchase price.&lt;/li&gt;
  1487.      &lt;/ul&gt;
  1488.   &lt;/li&gt;
  1489.   &lt;li&gt;Title Search - Make sure you use a Title Company that understands how investors think and work.  Every Real Estate Investment Club can recommend one. You assume Tile companies know what they are doing but I have gotten burned many times due to Title Company mistakes. Make sure they check for:
  1490.      &lt;ul&gt;
  1491.         &lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Open Permits&lt;/b&gt; - This has caused us more problems when we go to SELL an asset in our portfolio.  It is usually the BUYERS Title company that finds the mistake and causes delays with the closing. MAKE sure they check for Open Permits!&lt;/li&gt;
  1492.         &lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Liens and Violations&lt;/b&gt; - Make sure they check for pet violations (Pit Bull), &lt;b&gt;water&lt;/b&gt;, city and county liens. Check:
  1493.            &lt;ul&gt;
  1494.                &lt;li&gt;The City where the property is located: City of Miami, etc.&lt;/li&gt;
  1495.                &lt;li&gt;The County: Dade, Broward, etc.&lt;/li&gt;  
  1496.            &lt;/ul&gt;
  1497.         &lt;/li&gt;
  1498.      &lt;/ul&gt;
  1499.   &lt;/li&gt;
  1500.   &lt;li&gt;Taxes - Check to see if back taxes are owed. Usually the Seller pays the back taxes but it is good to know while you are negotiating terms and price before you make an offer.
  1501.       &lt;ul&gt;
  1502.           &lt;li&gt;Most tax records will indicate if the structure is legal or not.
  1503.              &lt;ul&gt;
  1504.                 &lt;li&gt;If you see on the tax rolls the structure is listed as a 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom and on the MLS it is listed as a 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms there maybe a problem with the investment property as being legal or not.
  1505.                 &lt;/li&gt;
  1506.              &lt;/ul&gt;
  1507.           &lt;/li&gt;
  1508.       &lt;/ul&gt;
  1509.   &lt;/li&gt;
  1510.   &lt;li&gt;History - Most counties will have a history of the property since it was built. It will contain information about the property that can be used to determine what has been done legally with permits, liens, violations, former owners, etc.
  1511.       &lt;ul&gt;

  1513.          &lt;/li&gt;
  1514.       &lt;/ul&gt;
  1515.   &lt;/li&gt;
  1516.   &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.miamidade.gov/business/zoning.asp&quot; title=&quot;Miami-Dade Zoning Department web site portal link&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Zoning&lt;/a&gt; - You must know the current zoning for the individual parcel of land and its existing structure. You need to know what is the permitted use and current usage.  Knowing this information can help you with your rehabbing plans and exit strategy.&lt;/li&gt;
  1517.   &lt;li&gt;Survey - You may want to order a survey before purchasing to see if the investment property has any encroachment issues.&lt;/li&gt;  
  1518. &lt;/ul&gt;
  1519. &lt;p&gt;
  1520. These are some of the items we look at before making any decision to BUY. As you gain experience a lot of these items will become second nature and you will be able to apply this knowledge to tweak your success as a real estate investor.&lt;p&gt;Do you have any tactics you apply before you purchase a property?  We would love to hear from you.

  1607. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;h1&gt;Before You Start…&lt;/h1&gt;
  1608. &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;While holding monthly meetings and giving presentations to the attending audience, one of the more common questions we receive is: &lt;strong&gt;“How do I start?”&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;background-color:yellow&quot; size=&quot;4&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;That is a great question!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;p&gt;When we started, we jumped right in.  We purchased 15 distressed condominiums, each 2 bedroom/1 bath, in Miami, Florida.  The units were controlled by a private investor who held the note on the individual units.  Every unit stopped paying their mortgage and was living rent free. The existing owner was burned out and wanted to quit being a landlord.  He asked for $30K for the note.  We bought the note at a substantial discount and closed the deal.&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;4&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;That was the easy part!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;p&gt;Talk about being over our heads.  We had no idea how to proceed. Suddenly, we had to learn the following:
  1609. &lt;table&gt;
  1610. &lt;tr align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Landlording&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Real Estate Financing&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
  1611. &lt;tr align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Rehabbing&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Foreclosure Law&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
  1612. &lt;tr align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Evictions&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Termites&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
  1613. &lt;tr align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Liens and Violations&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Water Liens&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
  1614. &lt;tr align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Sales and Marketing&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;On and On and On…&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
  1615. &lt;/table&gt;
  1616. We had nothing in place to proceed.  We had to learn the hard way.  It took time and time is the enemy to investors.  The longer it takes the more money you are losing in the real estate investment business.&lt;p&gt;So before you get your feet wet with your first deal, make sure you have the following items setup and running.&lt;p&gt;
  1617.

  1655.                      &lt;/li&gt;
  1656.                   &lt;/ul&gt;
  1657.                &lt;/li&gt;

  1666.                &lt;/li&gt;
  1667.             &lt;/ul&gt;
  1668.         &lt;/li&gt;

  1796. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;h1&gt;Tenant Electrical Tampering&lt;/h1&gt;&lt;p&gt;When I started out as a Landlord, I was very naive about how tenants could damage your investment property and get away with it.&lt;p&gt;One of the hidden problems is your electrical outlets.  They can be tampered with or damaged very easily without the Landlord&#39;s knowledge.&lt;p&gt;I had a tenant set up a tent on the back patio of one of my investment properties to repair engines.  I noticed he jury rigged lighting from one of the outlets in the back bedroom.  I wasn&#39;t happy about it but didn&#39;t say anything.&lt;p&gt;After the family moved out I went over the property to detect the repairs needed for the next occupants.  I noticed that outlet used for outside electricity wasn&#39;t working properly but I didn&#39;t know why.  I remember my Dad, who an electrician, using a tool to check the current status of each outlet. &lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-_HaZdgWtTzo/UNIezcr9EyI/AAAAAAAAA1I/Wc0uq3zNvj0/s1600/Outlet%2BTester.JPG&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;clear:right; float:right; margin-left:1em; margin-bottom:1em&quot; title=&quot;Outlet Test for checking status of electrical outlets inside your investment property.&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;200&quot; width=&quot;139&quot; src=&quot;http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-_HaZdgWtTzo/UNIezcr9EyI/AAAAAAAAA1I/Wc0uq3zNvj0/s200/Outlet%2BTester.JPG&quot; alt=&quot;Outlet Tester Image&quot;/&gt;&lt;center&gt;Outlet Tester&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;This instrument not only checks but reports back through a series light combinations the existing status.&lt;p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;Advantages&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;This little tool provides the owner or Landlord the following advantages:&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Check current state of electrical outlets before tenant moves out. Use security deposit to implement repairs.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Before purchasing an investment property, check existing status of the electrical network inside the potential investment property. Have Seller do repairs instead of the Buyer.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;The tool is easy to use.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Very inexpensive.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;No need for an Electrician.  DIY (Do-It-Yourself).&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;h3&gt;Outlet Status&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;p&gt;Below is a table that displays the Outlet Status when the three prong is plugged into a standard 110 volt outlet:&lt;center&gt;&lt;table&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td colspan=&quot;2&quot;&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#CC0000&quot;&gt;&lt;center&gt;OUTLET TESTER STATUS CHART&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#CC0000&quot;&gt;STATUS&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#CC0000&quot;&gt;INDICATOR&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;OPEN GROUND&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;OFF ON OFF&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;OPEN NEUTRAL&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;OFF OFF ON&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;OPEN HOT&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;OFF OFF OFF&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;HOT/GROUND REVERSED&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;ON OFF ON&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;HOT/NEUTRAL REVERSED&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;ON ON OFF&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;CORRECT&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;OFF ON ON&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td colspan=&quot;2&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioY-sHe0RPVkbBHMUTQik7YqdPvftjhMXCpjA5DasLSPVAJ8D7UcCHCci-2sAfdDHmELa_F7aPKdFGPowp7FEWAW-lGkhI0rcu7FlH6q7cu5OhODZHQawSCsz14f-6ZG4t2jSRPpqwseBu/s1600/Open+Ground+Status.JPG&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;clear:left; float:center;margin-right:1em; margin-bottom:1em&quot; title=&quot;Household plug status from Outlet Tester&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;400&quot; width=&quot;300&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioY-sHe0RPVkbBHMUTQik7YqdPvftjhMXCpjA5DasLSPVAJ8D7UcCHCci-2sAfdDHmELa_F7aPKdFGPowp7FEWAW-lGkhI0rcu7FlH6q7cu5OhODZHQawSCsz14f-6ZG4t2jSRPpqwseBu/s200/Open+Ground+Status.JPG&quot; alt=&quot;Open Ground Status of Outlet Tester Image&quot; /&gt;&lt;center&gt;What is the Outlet Status?&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;p&gt;This little tool can save time and money and that my friends is the bottom line to managing your investment portfolio.&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#cc0000&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Related Links, Blog Postings, Presentations or Articles&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;:

  1856. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;h1&gt;Homestead no longer Strawberry Fields!&lt;/h1&gt;&lt;p&gt;
  1857. The Homestead Housing Authority in Miami-Dade County Florida has undergone some major changes since the real estate market began heating up several years ago.  The City of Homestead enjoyed a good 10 years of expansion. Work force housing communities began springing up where strawberry fields, nurseries, orchards and farm land once occupied a majority of the acreage now developed.  Major retailers like Wal-Mart, Nike and Home Depot, discovered that Homestead was the last stop for travelers and tourists before they entered the Florida Keys.&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: right;&quot;&gt;
  1858. &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.investmentpropertiesmiamiflorida.com/HousingAuthorityHomestead.html#.UK5u0WfNndk&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;clear:right; float:right; margin-left:1em; margin-bottom:1em&quot; title=&quot;Homestead Housing Authority new building.&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;240&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; src=&quot;http://www.investmentpropertiesmiamiflorida.com/uppedimages/1348282697Homestead%20Housing%20Authority%20Miami-Dade%20County%20Florida%20new%20Section%20Eight%20office.png&quot; alt=&quot;Homestead Housing Authority Building Miami Florida&quot; /&gt;&lt;center&gt;Homestead Housing Authority HHA Building&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;I discovered the Homestead Housing Authority back in 1998 when it was just a small office.  I found the agency was very willing to work with Landlords and Real Estate Investors by making the Section 8 processing cycle very easy for owners and tenants. What I didn&#39;t find was a lot of investors or Land Lords using Section 8 or Plan Ocho as an additional marketing channel for finding tenants to occupy their investment properties in South Miami-Dade.&lt;h2&gt;That was Then, This is NOW!&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Homestead Housing Authority has just completed a new building and road modifications to their facilities.  HHA and the rest of Homestead has grown and caught up with the rest of Miami-Dade county.&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left&quot;&gt;
  1859. &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.investmentpropertiesmiamiflorida.com/HousingAuthorityHomestead.html#.UK5zM2fNndk&quot; title=&quot;Homestead Housing Authority brand new facilities.&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;clear:left; float:left;margin-right:1em; margin-bottom:1em&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;240&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; src=&quot;http://www.investmentpropertiesmiamiflorida.com/uppedimages/1348282297Homestead%20Housing%20Authority%20Miami-Dade%20County%20Florida%20new%20Section%208%20office.png&quot; alt=&quot;HHA new building that administers the Section 8 program for the City of Homestead.&quot; /&gt;&lt;center&gt;New Section 8 facilities for Homestead, Florida&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  1860.  
  1861. &lt;p&gt;During the recent real estate bust, investors have picked up bargin properties in Southern Dade County. If you are a Landlord or a property owner looking for tenants, the Homestead Housing Authority HHA is one source for potential tenants in Southern Miami-Dade County.&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#cc0000&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Related Links, Blog Postings, Presentations or Articles&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;:

The ARV number will be used to calculate &lt;a href=&quot;http://real-estate-investment-commentary.blogspot.com/2011/01/using-mao-rule-for-determining-your.html&quot; title=&quot;MAO rule determines the investment property purchase price for real estate investors.&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Maximum Allowable Offer MAO&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;p&gt;Real Estate Agents have a nice tool for getting COMPS or Comparables for properties because they have access to the Multiple Listing Service MLS.

It provides all the closed sales recorded by the county within a specified area, time period and radius.  It isn&#39;t very dynamic but it gives you an idea of what is happening in a particular neighborhood you are thinking of investing in.&lt;p&gt;The video below specifies how to use the particular tools discussed in this posting.

  2442. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;Should we cover Section 8 waiting list openings Nationwide?&lt;/h2&gt; We have been wrestling with this question for a while now!  REIC is pretty connected to Section 8 Wait List openings in the Southeastern region, since a majority of our clients / readers are from South Florida. Should we care about other regions of the US concerning Section 8 Wait List Openings? YES! We should cover the whole US, Section 8 office by Section 8 office.&lt;p&gt;&lt;h3&gt;Here is our Justification!&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;p&gt;Why is this important to our investors, blog readers and tenants? Miami Florida is the gateway to Latin America and the Caribbean.  As a result, we have every nationality from these regions calling Miami, Florida their home. This does not mean they don&amp;#39;t have relatives living in other parts of the United States.&lt;p&gt;Look at my background!  I was born in Germantown, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania but I am calling Miami, Florida my current home. The rest of my family lives in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, California, etc.&lt;p&gt;A Section 8 or Plan 8 Wait List opening in New Jersey may not be important to the folks living in Miami but maybe their relatives in New Jersey could act on this information. Word of Mouth, Baby!&lt;p&gt;Here are several other reasons we feel we should cover all the Section 8 or Plan 8 Wait list Openings:&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Section 8 Vouchers are Portable.&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;See our posting about &lt;a href=&quot;http://real-estate-investment-commentary.blogspot.com/2011/10/did-you-know-section-8-or-plan-ocho.html&quot; title=&quot;Moving? Take your Section 8 Voucher with You!&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Section 8 Portability.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;People don&amp;#39;t like South Florida and want to move to another state or region.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Family Issues like death, health, divorce, empty nest, etc.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Better Jobs and Salaries.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Economic Hardship.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;The Weather in South Florida! Hurricanes, Heat, Humidity…&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Competition for the available Section 8 Vouchers and Wait List Openings.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt; We are sure you can add several other reasons why you want to move away or to South Florida.&lt;p&gt;So in the future we will be announcing Section 8 Waiting List Openings throughout the United States.&lt;p&gt;If you hear about any Section 8 Waiting List Openings please contact us at our email address below.  We could use your help!&lt;p&gt;Oh by the way, below is a Section 8 Wait list Opening:&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Arizona&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://cochise.az.gov/cochise_housing.aspx?id=272&quot; title=&quot;The Housing Authority of Cochise County (HACC), Arizona&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Section 8 Wait List of Cochise County, Arizona is currently Open&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;So starting today, we will &lt;font style=&quot;background-color:yellow&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;TRY&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt; to cover all the Section 8 Wait List openings Nationwide.&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#cc0000&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Related Links, Blog Postings, Presentations or Articles&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;:

  2508. &lt;/div&gt;
  2509. &lt;/div&gt;There is a saying among Real Estate Investor&amp;#39;s - &quot;You Make Your Money when You Purchase the Property not When you Sell It.&quot;&lt;p&gt;There are so many things that can go wrong so it is important to make sure you buy the property right.&lt;p&gt;Smart Real Estate Investors need to develop an &lt;font style=&quot;background-color:yellow&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Action Plan&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt; before they are going to purchase an investment property. This plan should include the following:
  2510. &lt;ul&gt;
  2511. &lt;li&gt;Identify a possible property for investment.&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Make sure your SELLER is &lt;u&gt;MOTIVATED&lt;/u&gt; to do the deal. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
  2512. &lt;li&gt;Perform a market analysis.
  2513.   &lt;ul&gt;
  2514.      &lt;li&gt;What are going to be your carrying costs for the next 90 Days. Principal, Interest, Insurance, Taxes, Utilities, HOA fees....
  2515.      &lt;li&gt;After Repair Value ARV - What is the property worth after repairs. Look at the COMPS! Yes, the comparables.&lt;/li&gt;
  2516.      &lt;li&gt;Calculate your repair costs.&lt;/li&gt;
  2517.      &lt;li&gt;Calculate your Fair Market Rent FMR. See if the property is going to cash flow.&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://real-estate-investment-commentary.blogspot.com/2011/05/video-about-calculating-fair-market.html&quot; title=&quot;Video about calculating Fair Market Rent by zip code.&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;See previous posting and video about calculating Fair Market Rent FMR&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
  2518.    &lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
  2519. &lt;li&gt;Secure Your funding for:
  2520.   &lt;ul&gt;
  2521.      &lt;li&gt;Purchasing the Asset.&lt;/li&gt;
  2522.      &lt;li&gt;Carrying Costs.&lt;/li&gt;
  2523.      &lt;li&gt;Repairs.&lt;/li&gt;
  2524.   &lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
  2525. &lt;li&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#cc0000&quot;&gt;Note: Don&amp;#39;t forget to pay yourself for all this work you are doing!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
  2526. &lt;li&gt;Make an OFFER based on the Maximum Allowable Offer MAO Rule, using ARV, Carrying and Repair Costs.&lt;ul&gt;
  2527. &lt;li&gt;See previous MAO post at &lt;a href=&quot;http://real-estate-investment-commentary.blogspot.com/2011/01/using-mao-rule-for-determining-your.html&quot; title=&quot;Maximum Allowable Offer MAO blog posting. Click HERE.&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Using the MAO rule for determining your Investment Property Offer Price.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
  2528. &lt;li&gt; What are you going to do with the asset? Develop an EXIT Strategy:
  2529.    &lt;ul&gt;
  2530.       &lt;li&gt;Flip the property for a profit or&lt;/li&gt;
  2531.       &lt;li&gt;Hold the property for Cash Flow.&lt;/li&gt;
  2532.    &lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;
  2533. This is the basic action plan which needs to be very fluid. Things change and you need to adapt.&lt;p&gt;&lt;h3&gt;Turnkey Property!&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;p&gt;
  2534. One of the more successful &lt;strong&gt;Action Plans&lt;/strong&gt; we have used is to bundle a Section 8 or Plan Ocho tenant within the property FOR SALE. The tenant is part of the BUYER&amp;#39;s Turnkey Package.&lt;p&gt;TURNKEY means the BUYER simply needs to turn the key to the front door and start making MONEY.&lt;p&gt;All the hard work has been done for the BUYER:
  2535. &lt;ul&gt;
  2536.   &lt;li&gt;Buying a Property that will Cash Flow.&lt;/li&gt;
  2537.   &lt;li&gt;Rehabbing the property and brought up to Code.&lt;/li&gt;
  2538.   &lt;li&gt;All utilities are functioning.&lt;/li&gt;
  2539.   &lt;li&gt;Finding a reliable tenant.&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;We use Section 8 as a great resource for tenants because it is a very popular program for housing.&lt;/li&gt;
  2540.   &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.investmentpropertiesmiamiflorida.com/findorlistyoursection8property.html&quot; title=&quot;Find tenants on the Section 8 or Plan 8 sites.&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Section 8 Web Sites for listing Your Investment Property.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
  2541.   &lt;li&gt;Asset Protection strategy is already in place.&lt;/li&gt;
  2542.   &lt;li&gt;Selling the Investment Property with minimal Closing Costs.&lt;/li&gt;
  2543.   &lt;li&gt;Optional: Have it already furnished.&lt;/li&gt;
  2544. &lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;Investors should provide a turnkey solution for all their properties they plan to sell in the near future.&lt;p&gt;BUYERS like the idea of purchasing a property that comes bundled with a tenant.&lt;p&gt;Action Plans allow for  Immediate Cash Flow and no Headaches!
  2545. &lt;/div&gt;

  2696. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;One of the biggest pains being a real estate investor in Florida is getting prepared for &lt;strong&gt;Hurricane Season&lt;/strong&gt;.  Due to the amount of work, we wait to the last minute before placing the hurricane shutters onto our rental property&amp;#39;s windows.&lt;p&gt;As a result of waiting, problems are going to arise like:&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
  2697. &lt;ul&gt;
  2698. &lt;li&gt;Going to Home Depot.&lt;/li&gt;
  2699. &lt;li&gt;Gathering Supplies, if available like:
  2700. &lt;ul&gt;
  2701. &lt;li&gt;Make sure you buy gloves &lt;strong&gt;PLEASE&lt;/strong&gt;. I can&amp;#39;t count the times we have been hurt just because we don&amp;#39;t have gloves on.&lt;/li&gt;
  2702. &lt;li&gt;Sun Block, Hats, Sunglasses, etc.  Florida SUN is brutal.  I find that the weather is beautiful just before the storm arrives. Sort of like &quot;The calm before the storm.&quot;&lt;/li&gt;
  2703. &lt;li&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;background-color:yellow&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Buy Wasp spray!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt; As you are installing shutters on the second floor of your investment property you will find out why you need the spray! The EASY way or the HARD way.&lt;/li&gt;
  2704. &lt;li&gt;A SPEED tool that allows you to secure the screws or wing nuts onto the shutter.  You will thank me later!&lt;/li&gt;
  2705. &lt;li&gt;Ladders of various sizes.  Buy at least one that adjusts to 40 feet made out of fiberglass, NOT ALUMINUM. Why? Hint: High tension electrical cables.&lt;/li&gt;
  2706. &lt;li&gt;Chain Saw and gas for cutting tree branches away from the property and for use after the storm.&lt;/li&gt;
  2707. &lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
  2708. &lt;li&gt;Waiting in long checkout lines.&lt;/li&gt;
  2709. &lt;li&gt;Loading tools and supplies onto your vehicle. Like getting your ladders onto the truck.&lt;/li&gt;
  2710. &lt;li&gt;Driving to the property!  OK for local properties but what if the asset is in another county? At one point I had several properties in Sarasota, Broward, Miami Beach and Miami-Dade.&lt;/li&gt;
  2711. &lt;li&gt;Traffic  –  People getting out of the storm&amp;#39;s path.&lt;/li&gt;
  2712. &lt;li&gt;Finding HELP!  Try installing these shutters alone! Now try it on 15 other properties. See what I mean.&lt;/li&gt;
  2713. &lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;You are going to work harder than you ever did before.  You&amp;#39; ll be so tired that you want the storm to blow away your portfolio of rental properties so you won&amp;#39;t have to ever do this again.&lt;p&gt;At last the second, the storm veer&amp;#39;s and never arrives.&lt;p&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;4&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;strong&gt;You see how crazy it can get&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/u&gt;?&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;p&gt;Oh, by the way, if for some reason you didn&amp;#39;t get the shutters up on time and there is damage as a result of the storm, the insurance company will not pay.  Just thought I would mention that!&lt;p&gt;
  2714. &lt;h3&gt;FEMA Hurricane Preparedness Widget&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;p&gt;
  2715. One of the reason I was inspired to write this post, I found a little widget from &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.fema.org&quot; title=&quot;Federal Emergency Management Agency&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;FEMA&lt;/a&gt; that provides you information about getting prepared for the hurricane season or any other disaster. I have installed this widget on all my sites to help my readers make informed decisions. See the widget sample below.&lt;p&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;iframe width=&quot;240&quot; height=&quot;490&quot; scrolling=&quot;no&quot; marginheight=&quot;0&quot; marginwidth=&quot;0&quot; frameborder=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;http://www.fema.gov/help/widgets/prepared_hurricane.html&quot; title=&quot;Are you prepared for hurricanes?&quot;&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#cc0000&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Related Links, Blog Postings, Presentations or Articles&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;:&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.section8mia.com&quot; title=&quot;Section 8 or Plan 8 Miami Florida&quot;  target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;See our new Section 8 or Plan 8 Miami Florida Blog&lt;/a&gt;.

  2771. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;A good Real Estate Investor is constantly looking for &lt;strong&gt;motivated sellers&lt;/strong&gt; that are offering deals they can make a substantial profit on.  Investors have to determine what they are willing to pay for this asset without losing money in the process.  There are several problems that can occur with this investment objective :&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Finding Motivated Sellers&lt;/strong&gt;. In order to make a substantial profit, investors must offer a purchase price substantially lower than the Seller is willing to accept. If the Seller doesn&amp;#39;t negotiate with you on price or terms you are wasting your time. Move On!&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Determining the &lt;a href=&quot;http://real-estate-investment-commentary.blogspot.com/2011/01/using-mao-rule-for-determining-your.html&quot; title=&quot;Real Estate Investment Commentary REIC Blog post about Maximum Allowable Offer MAO.&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Maximum Allowable Offer MAO&lt;/a&gt;. This formula allows real estate investors to determine the &lt;strong&gt;MAXIMUM&lt;/strong&gt; price they can offer the seller and still make a profit.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Determining the Property&amp;#39;s Repairs Costs. Sellers are usually motivated to sell their property because the asset or themselves are in a state of distress. As investors purchase multiple properties they get pretty good at determining the cost to bring the property back online.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;What is  the After Repair Value APR? What will be the property&amp;#39;s value be after cleanup and repairs are done? You need comparables to assess the property&amp;#39;s value.  The Multiple Listing Service MLS is a fantastic source for retrieving sale and property information but:  &lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;MLS is only available to Realtor Associations.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;You have to be a Realtor Association Member.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Costs money to be a member:&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Realtor License Fee.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Association Membership Fees.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Continuing Education Fees.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;What if you don&amp;#39;t have access to the MLS to determine property comparables or COMPS? How are you going to determine a property&amp;#39;s value if you don&amp;#39;t have access to information about the neighborhood?&lt;p&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;background-color:yellow&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;4&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Don&amp;#39;t Worry!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;p&gt;There is plenty of information on the internet.  Most counties in the United States provide free data concerning all the properties they currently have on their tax rolls. We provide a page on our web site that lists &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.investmentpropertiesmiamiflorida.com/?page=clerkofthecourt&quot; title=&quot;Property Information web sites for individual counties in the state of Florida, USA&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Property Information and Clerk of the Court data&lt;/a&gt; for each of Florida&amp;#39;s counties.&lt;p&gt;Once you have determined the following items:&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Repair Costs.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;If you are &lt;a href=&quot;http://real-estate-investment-commentary.blogspot.com/2012/01/do-you-need-funding-to-be-real-estate.html&quot; title=&quot;See our list of finance companies, hard money lenders, Bridge Loan, et. that will help you fund your deal&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;financing&lt;/a&gt; the deal, Principle and Interest or P&amp;I and closing costs.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Monthly Fees like:&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Electricity and Water Access.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Insurance.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Taxes.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Determine the &lt;strong&gt;After Repair Value APR&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;you will need to plug in these numbers into the MAO formula to determine your &lt;strong&gt;MAXIMUM Offer Price&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;p&gt;YOU MUST never, never, never, ever go beyond that price or you will lose money and the MAO price is only good for 90 days! It is based on a three month window.&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#cc0000&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Related Links, Blog Postings, Presentations or Articles&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;:&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;In the very near future we will  provided a short video below this blog posting that will help determine a property&amp;#39;s After Repair Value APR in Miami-Dade County, Florida.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;
