CARPET CLEANING

Hot water extraction is the best way to clean carpets. Don’t let anyone tell you different. A hot water cleaning solution under high pressure is forced into your carpet and then sucked out. Use a provider with a truck mounted unit. It’s the most powerful cleaning machine and cleans your carpet of harmful bacteria, fungus, chemicals, pollens, tobacco residue and dust mites.

Hot water does not damage your carpet. By washing and then rinsing your carpet with hot water, is a complete cleaning method.

2.  Is this a residential neigborhood? More houses than apartments, business, or industrial.  Vernon, CA has about 100 residenses and is an industrial city.

3.  Can I inspect prior to closing? You may be able to at an auction, but you buy “as is”.

4.  Would I feel safe here at night?

5. Would the house conform to FHA lending requirements after renovations?  Always think exit strategy when buying.

LANDLORD SPECIAL REPORT

What 5 Ingredients Make Up a Good Tenant?

By John Nuzzolese

Most landlords try their best to select good tenants to occupy their rental properties. Some are very successful at it while others always seem to end up with bad tenants regardless of how much they try.

In order to find a good tenant, we need to first understand the qualities or ingredients that a good tenant is made up from. Once we understand what ingredients we are looking for, we can carefully screen applicants with the right ingredients in mind. The LPA has a few tools that can help you determine if your applicant has the desired qualities you are looking for in your screening process.

So What Are the 5 Ingredients that Make Up a Good Tenant?

1. Honesty / Integrity

Trust… reliability… decency are what comes into my mind as qualities of an honest person with integrity. I want a tenant who will do what he agrees to do. Someone who morally chooses to do the right thing. A person whose signature on a contract signifies a binding promise they will keep.

2. Creditworthiness

If I am going to give legal possession of a valuable peice of real property to a tenant, I’m going to first want to know I’m dealing with someone with a good track record concerning credit. We have technology available now that can give me a credit report on the computer instantly on any rental prospect, so I definately want to assure myself that my prospect deals with financial matters in a reputable way.

3. Ability to Pay

Does the tenant have sufficient income or other resources to easily pay the rent and other living expenses every month? Is the tenant employed or just independently wealthy? Does the tenant depend on any other parties to survive? The answers to these questions will tell you how secure this tenancy will be.

4. Cleanliness

A clean tenant has higher standards than a dirty tenant. It is a fact that clean tenant will care for your rental property better than a dirty tenant.

5. Respect

This is an important one. I have had the worst experiences with people who do not respect others. They may not even respect themselves, which usually means they won’t treat your property very well since they don’t respect it either. If they do not respect you as the landlord, you have a recipe for trouble.

It can be lucrative, but you better know what your are doing.

Actually entrepreneurs are performing a valuable service. They are putting up all cash in order to compete with others doing the same thing. Banks won’t even consider terms for REOs (Real Estate Owned by banks) Too many cash buyer for these properties. The next thing to remember is that they are buying “AS IS”. So they must estimate what needs to be done to bring it to rental condition or sale. Probably add a little for surprises.

This takes more cash.

The next thing is to rent the property to a tenant and market to investors as a package deal with a property management service included.

Perhaps, the filpper puts it on the market for reasle without a tenant. offering terms for the purchase.

Most people don’t have the expertise or capital to do it themselves or have the stomack for the risk.  This type want the advantages of real estate with a great deal of the risk removed.

The flipper is entitled to a profit for the packaged deal with terms. I might add it is not a quick rich scheme, the property may not sell because of changing conditions and a market flooded with foreclousres.

We will repeat the class on May 26th, 2010. We follow the guides in my book and included will be an autographed copy of my book. The second half of the class Judy will discuss the basics of property management.

As a bonus we will give a e-book by Christian Ramsey on exit strategies for real estate.  The name Land Rich Cash Poor.   See you there
