New Money, Old Habits

24 05 2010

Here is a great article that I read about how some recently made millionaires got to where they were today:

It was even more interesting to me that these have been the secrets of most millionaires since the creation of the United States.

Investing in real estate in today’s market

6 05 2010

Investing can be a scary thought for most people. I often get questions about fixing toilets, leaky roofs, and bad tenants, but investing is much more than the minor problems that can arise. The benefits and millionaires made from real estate investing tell it all.

Some of these benefits include:

-Paying fewer taxes

-Passive income streams

-Helping provide sources of housing to those in need

There are many other benefits to real estate investing, but those are the BIG ones. If you are constantly worried that you will have to manage the property by fixing leaky toilets yourself, you are talking to the wrong people. We have methods of setting up your property so that you will not have any of these types of headaches. Done correctly, the biggest worry you will have is collecting your check every month!

To your success,

What will happen when the tax credit runs out…

15 04 2010

Contrary to popular belief, the world will not end once the first time home buyer tax credit runs out. People will still be moving, buying, selling, etc. You can’t stop that giant wheel of commerce with one little spike. So what does that mean for those of us not in a position to take advantage of the credits? We will be able to find even better deals as the market re-adjusts.

If you have been itching to get into a second home, investment, or even a newer home I would wait two weeks and ride out the credit. I wouldn’t wait too long though as the interest rates on loans are gradually indicating that they will rise.

Cheers!

What you may not know about the real estate tax credit…

8 04 2010

1. You only have to be under contract by April 30th, you can have until June 30th to close.

2. If you have lived in your existing home for five years or more, you can buy a new home and keep the other as a rental, getting $6500 from the government to do so!

3. The Tax credit was extended until the end of this month and the $6500 dollar was added to help people who want to get into real estate investing or buy a nicer/smaller/different home.

4. You will likely qualify for a mortgage if you have a steady job, it doesn’t hurt to try and take advantage of today’s tax credits and rates.

5. Many local cities have additional programs that you can get even more money from. Cities like Salt Lake, West Jordan, Riverton, and Draper are just a few. Get an addition $3000-$10000 dollars from local governments to combine with the other tax credits available.
