1234 - Here’s the “Lazy 1031 Exchange” and How To Do It by G. Brian Davis

March 01, 2024 07:00 - 12 minutes

Real estate offers plenty of strategies to avoid taxes. However, many require you to jump through hoops, hire third parties to help you, and otherwise make your life harder.  This is why I use the “lazy 1031 exchange” strategy: no hoops, no hassles, no hiring custodians.  But before explaining what a “lazy 1031” is, let’s make sure we’re all on the same page about how standard 1031 exchanges work.

February 29, 2024 07:00 - 9 minutes

Commercial real estate has had a few rough years, and it seems like things won’t be getting better anytime soon. The sector is set for a potential rise in defaults, as higher interest rates have increased the costs of refinancing.  And with $2.8 trillion due between now and 2028, more landlords could be feeling the crunch. According to data firm Trepp, commercial debt maturities are expected to balloon in the next few years. While many loans were extended or refinanced, the clock is slowly ti...

February 27, 2024 07:00 - 11 minutes

Running a rental business comes with its fair share of headaches, but one upside is that just about every rental activity associated with buying, maintaining, and operating a rental property is tax-deductible. We’ll walk through a checklist so you remember to keep track of your actual expenses and get the maximum tax benefit.  At the end of the day, the logic is that you should only have to pay taxes on your profits, which is your rental income minus all of your expenses. That’s the number th...

1229 - New TikTok Trend Says We’re in a “Silent Depression”—Are They Right? By Anna Cottrell

February 25, 2024 07:00 - 15 minutes

If you’ve been on TikTok recently—and perhaps even if you haven’t—you may have heard about the viral new concept of a ‘‘silent depression’’ that’s apparently overwhelming younger people in the U.S.  No, we’re not talking about the country’s mental health crisis. We’re talking about what a few TIkTokers are referring to as the dire economic reality facing ordinary people trying to make ends meet.  The term ‘‘silent’’ refers to the fact that, on the surface, the U.S. economy is doing well. We a...

February 21, 2024 07:00 - 8 minutes

Got kids? Then, eventually, you’ll (most likely) also have college bills. And spoiler alert: They will be big.  While it’s certainly not a parental requirement, footing the college bill (or any part of it) and allowing your kids to graduate debt-free is an enormous gift—one of the biggest you can give your children. Conventional savings vehicles, like 529s, are amazing tax-free-withdrawal vehicles, but they’re not the only way to get to the finish line. You can also use your real investing su...

As part of its goal to increase affordable mortgage access for homebuyers in the United States, Fannie Mae announced in December that it would accept attorney-opinion letters (AOLs) in place of title insurance with more mortgages.

1217 - A New Interest-Free Financing Program for Investors Is Coming Online: Is It Right for You? By Aly J. Yale

February 13, 2024 07:00 - 8 minutes

Cash-out refinancing is pretty common in real estate investing. An investor will cash in on the equity they have on an existing property and then use those funds toward a down payment on their next property. Rinse and repeat. That complicated process may soon be unnecessary thanks to a new fintech company. Downpayments, a Miami-based financial tech startup, has come up with a way for investors to tap their existing property equity to buy new properties—no refinancing required. Here’s how it w...

February 12, 2024 07:00 - 23 minutes

It’s been nearly four years since COVID-19 burst onto the global stage. We’ve returned to normal, but “normal” just doesn’t mean what it used to.   Domestically, Americans are feeling worn out. Social tensions are high and have been for a couple of decades. Conservatives and the right wing waste no time in blaming it on the commander-in-chief. Meanwhile, the left repeatedly insists not enough is being done by the government, pointing to healthcare, education, and housing as some of the issues...

1214 - Foreclosure Activity Increased in 2023—But What Do the Numbers Mean for Investors? by Anna Cottrell

February 10, 2024 07:00 - 11 minutes

ATTOM’s Year-End 2023 U.S. Foreclosure Market Report shows that foreclosure activity increased last year from 2022 levels, but is this a cause for concern for investors?  The ATTOM report shows that foreclosure filings, which include default notices, auctions, and repossessions, stood at 357,062, up 10% from 2022 and 136% from 2021. These figures look much less alarming, however, when set in the context of pre-pandemic foreclosure levels. Foreclosure activity in 2023 was still 28% lower than ...

February 04, 2024 07:00 - 9 minutes

Things are shaping up for homebuilders. In fact, one big name in the industry is projecting that 2024 will mark the “golden age” for homebuilding, thanks to falling mortgage rates and frozen existing home supply, among other factors. David O’Reilly, CEO of megalith developer Howard Hughes Corp., told CNBC last week, “We’re going to have the golden age of new home construction” in 2024, even calling the new home market “extraordinary” in its current form.

The commercial real estate market has been faced with headwinds for years, and 2024 may not be any different.

1102 - 5 Ways You Can Get Rich WITHOUT Investing in Real Estate by Anna Cottrell

January 29, 2024 07:00 - 16 minutes

Investing in real estate can be a great way to generate wealth, but it isn’t for everyone. For one, the term ‘‘passive income’’ really does not describe real estate investing accurately.  Becoming an investor is a much more hands-on process than just buying a house and renting it out. All the maintenance and potential issues with tenants will become your responsibility. And if you want to grow your portfolio to multiple properties, the responsibilities will grow exponentially.  The time and e...

1201 - Do You Know What Your Number One Risk Is as a Passive Investor? It’s Fraud by Paul Moore

January 28, 2024 07:00 - 9 minutes

You’re undoubtedly wondering what the answer to this question is. I was, too. As a due diligence partner for over 800 investors, we think about risks all the time.

In 2004, I was living in NYC when I decided to start a new career. To identify potential business opportunities, I thought about some of the more frustrating experiences I’d had. I quickly narrowed the list to buying investment properties. The problem was that all real estate agents could do was send me MLS data sheets for the properties I selected; no analytics, processes, or services. I had to do everything myself.

January 14, 2024 07:00 - 12 minutes

Most homeowners bought their homes at mortgage rates that were lower than today’s, and that’s caused what’s known as the “lock-in effect.” Homeowners are hesitant to give up their cheap mortgages, which is suppressing available inventory. Low inventory has kept home prices from falling significantly, even as homebuyer demand fell due to rate hikes.  With mortgage rates down more than one percentage point since their peak in October, the housing market is starting to show signs of rebounding d...
