🌇 Invest in the surrounding neighbourhood, not just the properties themselves

As a landlord, you have an obligation to maintain and contribute to the upkeep of your investment property. Here are five ways you can invest in the surrounding neighbourhood.

1. Do your part to support neighbourhood watch programs
You can encourage your tenants to become active members, and contribute physically (if you can) and financially to the cause.

2. Sponsor local youth programs
If you have long-term goals as a landlord, you need to do your part to support the youth in the surrounding community.

3. Take to social media
As a landlord, it’s your job to encourage your neighbours and share the news that affects them most.

4. Take care of your front yard
How your property looks to others is almost as important as the amenities you offer inside.

5. Don’t ignore neglect
Even if it’s just a burnt-out street light or an overgrown lawn, make sure it’s taken care of so the rest of the neighbourhood doesn’t follow suit.

5 Ways To Build Equity By Investing In Your Neighborhood Zak Ziegler

💸 Short sale real estate transactions can be a great option for investors.

🤔 Here’s what you should know about buying a short sale home.

Keep These Things In Mind When Dealing With A Short Sale

1. Know your facts. Take some time to review the current real estate market and all the financials pertaining to the property.

2. Stage short sales. While short sales seem to be acts of desperation sometimes, it doesn’t mean you can sell your property in any old condition.

3. Be prepared for difficult negotiations. Be prepared to haggle back and forth a little before striking a deal on a short sale.

4. Short sale doesn’t mean poor quality. Just because someone is selling their property on a short sale doesn’t mean it is of poor quality, has some major defect, or is less than in some way.
