    1364 - 9 First Year Mistakes Short-Term Rental Investors Should Avoid by Jasmine Brown
    Jul 9 2024
    Three years ago, I opened the doors of my guest room to travelers on Airbnb to offset my mortgage. What started as a way to supplement my living expenses evolved into a passion for creating 5-star guest experiences and led me to start Stay Peachy Homes, a short-term rental (STR) property management company that helps homeowners and investors maximize their property’s performance and remove the management hassle. However, like many first-time hosts, I made my fair share of mistakes in that first year. These errors not only taught me valuable lessons but also helped me fine-tune my approach to managing short-term rentals. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

    Do you enjoy filing your taxes? Of course you don’t. But there’s a silver lining. Doing your taxes can be fun (or at least tolerable) when you understand how to make the best of your circumstances. Savvy investors know the power of taking advantage of every last deduction—within the limits of the law. This leads to an important question: How much mortgage interest can I deduct on my taxes?

  • 1362 - Could Rehab Loans Replace Hard Money Loans for Investors? By Jeff Vasishta

    1362 - Could Rehab Loans Replace Hard Money Loans for Investors? By Jeff Vasishta
    Jul 7 2024
    As most house flippers or BRRRR landlords will tell you, paying for hard money—with high interest rates and points tacked on top—can take huge chunks of profit out of a project. For landlords, extra expenses are involved in making monthly payments and paying to refinance into a regular mortgage, further eroding the bottom line. It’s generally a big pain and a reason many would-be-flippers and landlords stay on the sidelines or prefer to find private lenders, content to get paid once a deal sells or secures long-term financing post-rehab.

    Jul 6 2024
    Many investors assume that ownership is inherently safer than debt. I currently own equity in thousands of units and have invested six figures in real estate debts. I can tell you firsthand that it’s not—at least not always. Still, real estate equity and debt investments serve different purposes in your portfolio. Before parsing the risks of equity versus debt investments in 2024, it’s worth reviewing the roles each plays. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

    1360 - Growing Home Insurance Costs Will Destroy Your Cash Flow—Here’s What You Can Do About It by Jeff Vasishta

    Real estate investors are usually most concerned about rental income and property taxes. They seldom discuss home insurance. Many assume that home insurance is a standard fixed price in most parts of the country and give it scant regard, but you could be making a big mistake if you are one of those people. According to insurance.com, the average cost of home insurance nationwide hovers around $2,800 per year, which equates to $231 monthly for $300,000 in dwelling coverage and liability and a $1,000 deductible. However, this number fluctuates throughout the country. As a real estate investor, it’s important to note that the numbers quoted are for owner-occupied homeowners insurance. Landlords should add another 25%. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

    1358 - Home Insurance Premiums Are Set to Hit a Record This Year—When Will Prices Fall? By Anna Cottrell
    Jul 3 2024
    Insurance premiums are skyrocketing across the U.S., with no end in sight to annual increases that may just make you rethink investing in real estate in several parts of the country. At the very least, anyone investing in 2024 needs to be aware of the states where insurance premiums are rising the fastest—and factor these changes into their costs. According to a recent report by the insurance comparison platform Insurify, home insurance premiums are set to rise by 6% in 2024 after already jumping by 20% over the past two years. And that’s just the average. Many states will see double-digit premium increases this year thanks to a perfect storm (excuse the pun) of factors, most notably extreme weather events and high home repair costs.
