Use Professional Property Management to Improve Passive Income
Everyone wants to be a do-it-yourselfer these days with the goal of saving money. Whether you're an investment property owner by intent or by accident (show of hands...how many of you decided to hold your property during the downturn until the market comes back...I thought so), at some point you have to decide if you can afford to hire a property management company to manage the property for you.
The real questions is, can you afford not to?
A property manager is typically a real estate agent who knows real estate investors well and speaks their language -- the language called cash flow. They know that if they don't keep expenses down, their client is going to be forced to go away; either because his investment is becoming an alligator and eating him alive, or because it already has eaten him and he's no longer financially "alive."
No property owner, unless they have unlimited resources, can afford to maintain negative cash flow forever. It's going to catch up to the owner at some point. A smart property manager knows this and works hard to avoid negative cash flow.
The help of a good property management company is worth its weight in gold. An experienced management firm, such as this San Jose property management company, is good at keeping expenses down and rents coming in on time. They have their business processes set up to be very efficient in cost-effectively dealing with the traditional headaches of managing income property.
And believe me, there are headaches you don't want to deal with. Like collecting rent each month, making routine plumbing repairs, and perhaps most importantly, keeping your property rented out.

- Damaged Credit The Norm For Home Buyers Says Albuquerque NM Real Estate Agent Joe Maez
Albuquerque, NM - Less than perfect credit is the norm for home buyers rebuilding their lives in the aftermath of the mortgage credit crisis, according to Albuquerque REALTOR® Joe Maez.Maez says that it's increasingly rare for buyers to come to him looking to buy their dream piece of Albuquerque real estate with perfect credit."Most buyers today have been scarred by the craziness that has gone on in the mortgage industry in recent years, and in some ways, it's the new normal."He says he regularly sees buyers turning their finances around to be able to buy a home again after a short sale, foreclosure, or just a period of unemployment that led to negative credit profiles. Those who are buying homes, he says, are working hard to fix past money issues with better savings plans. - 3 days ago
- Historically Low Interest Rates Means Portland Real Estate is More Affordable For First Time Buyers
PORTLAND, Ore. – Continued easing from the Federal Reserve is driving historically low interest rates for Portland OR real estate buyers says local REALTOR® David Somerville.According to Somerville, the Fed's attempts to revitalize the economy with low interest rates should be seen as a gift for anyone wanting to buy a home right now, because low interest rates significantly lower the cost and risk of buying a home."I know from experience that some buyers won't decide to purchase Portland real estate until interest rates start to rise again. By that time, prices are likely to have already started to rise as well."He says that means buyers who wait too long may get neither the lowest rates nor the lowest prices. - 4 days ago
- 2012 Orlando Real Estate Market To Be Active Says Orlando Florida Real Estate Firm
Orlando, FL - While global financial markets continue to express uncertainty, one Florida real estate firm says the 2012 Orlando market is almost certain to be an active one.Jonathan de Jesus of Dominium Realty Group specializes in Orlando real estate, and says that market in the upcoming year is bound to be busy for local agents."We are likely to see a steady flow of bank owned homes and Orlando foreclosures come on the market, and although that could continue to pressure prices for sellers, it will continue to present buying opportunities for buyers."He says that Orlando short sales are likely to continue to be a popular way for sellers to get their home sold when they owe more than their house is worth. These will also provide good opportunities for buyers to get pre-foreclosure homes before they go offline to linger in bankers' files for months during the foreclosure process. - 8 days ago
- Foreclosure Inventory To Bring Out Bargain Hunters Says Meridian Real Estate Agent John Espinosa
MERIDIAN, Ida. - Meridian REALTOR® John Espinosa sees foreclosure inventory of bank owned homes likely continuing to bring out bargain hunters through 2012, bringing with it exceptional prices.Depending on what economic policies the federal government adopts, Espinosa says Idaho real estate buyers will likely see continued low interest rates through this election year as an attempt by Washington policy-makers to stimulate the economy."The combination of low rates and the steady drip of bank owned homes into the market means continued low prices for buyers who are ready to dip their feet in the market again."He says some buyers have been gun-shy about re-entering the real estate market, whether it's for Meridian real estate, which maintains relatively higher demand than many other Treasure Valley cities, or Eagle real estate, where expensive estates from the boom years are going for pennies on the dollar now. - 10 days ago
- San Jose Property Management Company Helps Accidental Landlords Become Intentional Investors
SAN JOSE, Calif. - While Jerry Garrity of Silicon Valley's First Statewide Realty works with a long list of properties for seasoned Bay Area investors who use his San Jose property management services, he also has a growing portfolio of another abundant asset type: properties whose owners had trouble selling them.He says this growing phenomenon is a result of the real estate market not cooperating with the original plans of many homeowners. His advice, rather than accept an undesirable price, is to think differently."I've found that many people who have had trouble selling their home for their preferred price can turn a negative into a positive and actually use their circumstance to nudge themselves into real estate investing.""Often, investing in real estate is something they've been wanting to do for years, and just didn't know how to go about it. We show them how."Garrity says that he's been able to teach these new clients what his more seasoned investors already know – that there is wisdom in owning real estate in any market. - 2 weeks ago
