Chicken Little Real Estate

By: John Morrison
Posted: Mar 13, 2008

]]>

Remember when the year 2000 was coming and everyone was wondering if all the computers would crash? At that time, many predictions were flooding society of all the damage this little computer date issue would cause. Predictions included not only computers crashing and data loss but extreme predictions such as train and plane crashes and machinery breakdowns and many other accidents could happen. The big day came and well, for the most part, nothing happened.

This reminds me of the childs tale Chicken Little. Oh noooo, the sky is falling. Well, that also remind me of the current state of the real estate market. The housing market is in a state of caution now because many loan seekers several years ago were approved loans that were cheap to get into but had escalating payments after a few years. In many of those cases, the payment exploded so much that the home buyer was unable to pay the payment because it was to much. Then what happens is that these properties slip into foreclosure and the house is taken from the buyer.

But hold everything. This is not Chiken Little or a childs poem. This is real life and these are actual real estate deals and its not correct to think that just because the market is going through this, it doesnt mean that the sky is falling or buying and selling real estate is not a good idea. Actually, it may be the opposite for the keen eye.

With so many deals on the market, this is a quantities vs quality situation and with so many deals available on the market and the amount of foreclosures that are available, this presents many opportunities. So, dont worry about the sky falling on your head. Get out there and look at each deal and see if it has potential.

If you’re looking to sell your home in Greater Vancouver or Calgary, showcasing your home on the Internet is a great marketing tool. Give yourself a competitive advantage and sell your home quickly.

Available to Realtors and private homeowners.

Ever wonder how the big agents earn so much money? Why is that some agents make fortunes selling real estate and others barely make a living?

According to the NAR, 93% of the business is now being done by only 7 percetn of the agents. While I have always been suspect of how they determine those numbers, the thing I am sure of is that most of the business is being conducted by only a few agents.

Doesn’t it make you wonder what the difference is? With so much information available, why isn’t everyone at the top of their game? When I asked myself this question, I began to look for answers. And do you know what I found? I have found that there is a big “untruth” out there. I found that most agents believe that all that is separating them from the big money is information. They believe that if they only knew what the others know, success would be theirs.

Let me tell you, information alone will not make you money. But if it would, you would still have to be sure you get the correct information. While all agents are not equal, just about all of them can get a house to closing. Learning how to better do what you do know is not the answer. There’s more to it.

When you decide to become a real estate agent, the first thing you do is take a licensing course. Then you need to pass a test. The first thing that then pops into most minds is this. How do I make money at this? Something they neglected to cover in the course. But you are not alone. There will always be lots of competiton in any business that is easy to get into with the promise of making a lot of money. Most newly licensed agents don’t have a clue of how to make money at this. Most turn to their brokers for help, but in many cases that dosen’t help much, if at all.

Why is it that most agents only do a few deals a year and only a select few others are able to do several hundred? Is it because these meaga agents have teams? Is that the difference? Well that is actually deceiving. They are able to have teams because they are successful. It’s not the other way around as many beleive. Because they are very good at bringing in business, it becomes necessary for them to hire a team because they couldn’t handle the volume by themselves.

How do they do it? Marketing! It’s how good they have become at marketing that makes them money, not how good they are at real estate. If you think of marketing as sphere of influence, farming, post cards, fsbo’s expired’s, etc., you have been lied to once again. If you tried any of this stuff, you most likely found it doesn’t work as well as you had hoped. If you are waiting for the next deal to come to you and don’t have a clue as to where or when it is coming, you are not marketing effectively.

The bottom line is that very few real estate agents know how to market their business. This may sound negative but it is not. The fact is that this is the greatest opportunity for you. With so few doing it, it’s actually easy to succeed. Unfortunately, most of the informationt that is available won’t help you. If you tried any of it and it didn’t work, then you know what I mean.

If you’re looking to sell your home in Greater Vancouver or Calgary, showcasing your home on the Internet is a great marketing tool. Give yourself a competitive advantage and sell your home quickly.

Available to Realtors and private homeowners.

The information in this article is merely an opinion. It uses U.S. Census Bureau data on New Home Sales (not existing homes or non single family homes) to derive a proprietary thesis. No statement within this article should be viewed as a suggestion or statement to buy or sell real estate for investment purposes or any other purpose! The data was garnered from sources believed to be accurate but is not guaranteed.

Data from the U.S. Census Bureau may indicate that a bottom could occur in the real estate market as it relates to single family new homes as early as the first quarter of 2008. Though rather dismal data could be released in its first quarter report in April of 2008, the myriad of doomsayers that are bound to emerge may be the preamble to a stark recovery. By July of 2008 data may clearly show that the first quarter was indeed the bottom and that the real estate market is off to a healthy and speedy recovery after making its bottom!

And wouldn’t that be nice? Most real estate agents will tell you that the slump has gone on long enough!

Near the end of November the National Association of Realtor’s will release its third quarter report for 2007, which will show prices and sales in major metropolitan areas of new single family homes. The government, notoriously slow as always, will probably take a bit longer. But here is there data that they do have right now:

We can see from the data and the associated graph that sales are down considerably on a year over year basis. We should also note that the 2Q2007 figure of 243 is preliminary, which is why it is italicized. You can view the actual data here.

We utilized a proprietary Data Choices algorithm to analyze this data. We are ignoring existing home sales for this report. The first item we noted was that third quarter and fourth quarter data appears skewed – which led us to believe predictions in this short time frame would be difficult. Nevertheless we continued to extrapolate data and our initial results seems to indicate a bottom in February of 2008.

As with all predictions they are subject to being grossly wrong and are only opinions. Nevertheless, just as with our Strong Dollar Project, we will continue to monitor and update the situation. If we are right about the bottom we will certainly indicate that in future reports. And if we are wrong then the whole world will know!

If you’re looking to sell your home in Greater Vancouver or Calgary, showcasing your home on the Internet is a great marketing tool. Give yourself a competitive advantage and sell your home quickly.

I’ve talked in past articles about setting lofty goals and not being afraid of big commercial real estate deals, and there is indeed truth to this. I honestly feel there are few goals that can’t be attained with the proper approach and dedication. That said, sometimes the best way to get big is to start small and commercial real estate, fortunately enough, offers such opportunities.

I bring this up because I work with many investors who would just as soon jump from owning a few single family homes to owning a 100-unit apartment complex. Is this doable? Of course. Is it realistic? That is more questionable. I always admire the gumption but I think investors who do this are often guilty of wanting the prize without having to first win the fight.

My suggestion here is twofold. First, commit yourself to running numbers effectively for cash flowing properties. If you can do this well for a 4-unit building, the same effort for a much larger building is only with different numbers. My point is that many investors seem disinclined to view income properties the way they need to be viewed, as income producers.

Many residential investors are flippers, making the bulk of their income from buying and selling real estate. The income production is a secondary issue. Transitioning immediately from that format to a large apartment building can be disastrous, since the numbers analysis is largely different. A small commitment to learning how to properly analyze cash flowing rental property I feel is necessary precursor to getting into larger deals like apartments. It will also make your investments more profitable in the end.

Second, don’t be afraid to take baby steps before running a marathon. There’s nothing wrong with buying a couple of 4-unit buildings and getting used to owning them before graduating to larger buildings. While I don’t buy into the idea that the best way to manage property is to manage all your own units personally, I think some trial period of owning cash flowing rental property is beneficial to getting your feet wet and preparing you for bigger and better things to come.

The sky’s the limit with commercial real estate (sometimes literally) so don’t be afraid to take a little time to get used to the business and what it takes to be a good owner of rental property. Not only will the experience benefit you, but you will also likely have a greater net worth and better portfolio to put forth when it does come time to go after those larger deals. Smaller steps now can lead to leaps and bounds later.

If you’re looking to sell your home in Greater Vancouver or Calgary, showcasing your home on the Internet is a great marketing tool. Give yourself a competitive advantage and sell your home quickly.

Available to Realtors and private homeowners.

We hope that you will meet many positive, enthusiastic people in your real estate career. Inevitably, however, you will come across some bitter, negative people who view the entire process of buying or selling real estate in a dark, dismal light. Worse, some of these people can turn their negativity into a weapon to target you. Here are some tips to deal with this when it happens:

Try to eliminate any negative thoughts about yourself and your work. Do your best, but don’t expect perfection. Expect your best efforts from yourself, but don’t beat yourself up over honest mistakes. Keep reaching for self improvement, but don’t hamper yourself with thoughts of “I’m so crappy at my job!” If you really think you’re crappy at your job, you have two choices – improve or leave. If you’re actively trying to improve, you’re doing a better job than a lot of people.

Remember that you needn’t believe what you hear. For instance, you might be “difficult to work with” for this particular set of clients, but that doesn’t mean that you are, in general, difficult for your clients to deal with. The person flinging this label at you probably finds a great many people “difficult to work with” simply because their personality doesn’t allow for dealing with many personalities – or perhaps anyone at all. If you feel that you are doing your best for these clients, you probably are.

Don’t feel that you need your clients’ approval in order to be doing a good job. If you are doing your utmost to bring their real estate transaction to a satisfactory conclusion, you are doing a good job. Your clients don’t know everything there is to know about real estate, which is why they engaged you. Accusations or inferences that you are “lazy” or not doing enough to see that their needs are met do not mean that this is the case.

Keep positive. Approach your client every time – on the phone, in email and in person – as if they are a good thing in your life and you can expect good things from them. Sometimes acting as if someone is a certain way can encourage them to be a certain way. It is often hard to be negative around someone who sees one’s negativity and chooses to respond positively.

Have expectations for your clients and communicate them clearly – for both your sakes. The process of real estate transactions is such that it requires work from both parties. Keep your communication lines open. Keep actively trying to find out how the client feels about how the process is going. It might feel stale and unprofitable if they are looking at things in the worst way possible, but you will have the satisfaction of knowing that you are doing your best for them.

When all else fails, it can be a good business decision to “fire” clients. It’s a step that should be taken with a lot of thought, but if they are destroying your enjoyment of your job, it might be the best. You don’t have to just drop these people; you might even be able to get a referral fee out of the hapless individual who takes them on. (Do warn your colleague; it’s not nice to throw them to the wolves without a heads-up!) Or, you might feel that in the interests of getting rid of your negative clients, you are prepared to waive the fee. Whatever you choose, be polite and professional. Do not take the opportunity to tell the clients what you really think of them as that kind of behavior often comes around to haunt one.

Negative clients can make a great job a living hell. You can deal with them by reminding yourself that you are a competent, decent person who has your clients’ best interests at heart. Don’t take what a client says or infers to heart; if you’re doing your best, then it is their own negative outlook on life that is poisoning the relationship between you. Try to approach these people positively; you may even help change their outlook to something more positive in the long run.

If you’re looking to sell your home in Greater Vancouver or Calgary, showcasing your home on the Internet is a great marketing tool. Give yourself a competitive advantage and sell your home quickly.

Available to Realtors and private homeowners.

Not a month goes by that I do not get at least one question as to what a 2nd lien is worth. With rare exceptions, 2nd liens are not marketable to note buyers, especially if you have a small 2nd behind a large 1st. The risk just outweighs the reward. These notes are often referred to as “throw away seconds”. 

Here is a powerful wealth building technique that comes from the NOTE PROFESSOR NOTEBOOK. This technique works well, no matter what position the note.  Simply trade your 2nd lien AT FACE VALUE for real estate or personal property.

FOR EXAMPLE, there is a property that has a 0,000 ARV. Everybody is offering the property owner ,000. You are holding a ,000 second. Why not offer ,000? The ,000 cash that everybody else is offering, PLUS your ,000 second? Put yourself in the position of the seller. Which offer would you accept? The ,000 cash only, or the ,000 cash PLUS your ,000 note?

You now have turned your “unmarketable” 2nd lien note into gold.  Instead of having to accept 30 cents on the dollar, you have traded an almost worthless note into equity in real estate. Be sure to disclose to the property seller that there is always a chance the note will default. Just be honest, and do not mislead the property owner.

The Truth about Greenville SC Real Estate

Over the course of the past few months, and longer in many cases, we have heard about the dismal state of the real estate market.  This includes declining prices in many markets, increased inventory, and increased foreclosure rates.

Greenville, South Carolina has managed to escape many of the declining trends seen in other markets, as our prices continue to rise, and the rate of foreclosure continues to be one of the lowest in the United States.

In a report released by the National Association of Realtors on August 14th, 2008, the US median price of existing single-family home fell 7.6% from 3,500 to 6,500 in 2nd quarter.  This is in sharp contrast to Greenville, SC, where the median price of an existing single-family home rose 5.1% in 2nd quarter according to the same report.  Greenville, SC had the 9th highest appreciation rate of the 157 metropolitan areas included in the report.

Much of the logic surrounding Greenville’s market success is the fact that home prices in Greater Greenville never experienced the “bubble” seen throughout much of the country.  Home values in Greenville, SC have always remained stable, and the economy in general is in a growth period with businesses expanding or relocating to the area on a regular basis.

Another worthwhile comparison is the existing inventory or supply.  This is also sometimes referred to as the absorption rate.  An article from the National Association of Realtors showed the overall supply of homes in the US at 11.1 months, up from 10.8 months the quarter before.  This shows the US as being strongly on the side of a buyer’s market, which is typically described as anything above a 7 month supply.  According to data from the Greenville, SC MLS, as of August 8th, 2008 Greenville’s supply was approximately 6.44 months.

Foreclosure is yet another areas in the market, where the US has been hit hard.  This is primarily due to poor lending practices, but some consumers also made poor decisions with adjustable rate mortgages.  Every quarter, RealtyTrac publishes data regarding foreclosures for the top 100 metro areas based on population.  In July of 2008, RealtyTrac’s report showed that 1 of every 171 US households had a foreclosure filing.  Yet again, a sharp contrast to Greenville, South Carolina where 1 in 492 households had a foreclosure filing, the 88th ranked market in a report of the largest 100 metro areas.

As I hope this information shows, Greenville, SC real estate continues to thrive.  The interesting part about this information is the fact that buyers still seem hesitant to purchase.  I feel that the media has generalized the real estate market, and failed to report on local statistics, which has helped contribute to fewer buyers being in the market to purchase.  The number of homes sold is one area where numbers are declining in Greenville, SC.  Many of these potential buyers are in our local market, which defies logic, given upwards trends in price, and the potential for higher interest rates in the future. 

In terms of future projections, The PMI Group Inc. showed Greenville, SC as having a less than 2% risk of decline in average price over the next 2 years.  This was published in their Summer 2008 Risk Index.

Real Estate is in an insecure position. If you want to invest, it is important to have the appropriate income, credit and job security. If you have these in place, there are many deals to be had. If a potential investor is not yet ready on this front, now is not a bad time to sit and do research. Watch the market, see how others invest, and then, when the time is right, make the best move you can.

With the economic slowdown and as a result, the need to be more efficient with both resources and costs, tenants are increasingly focused on the operating costs of buildings — whether they are looking to relocate or remain in their current space.

Tenants are also making efforts to operate within their offices more efficiently.

Going green therefore provides them a way that they can save money and the environment.

To that end, executives from the real estate, legal and energy services industries recently joined together for “The Green Symposium; Capturing Efficiencies in the Commercial Office.” The event was hosted by the Chicagoland Chamber of Commerce and panelists from Howard Ecker + Company, DLA Piper, NELSON and BlueStar Energy headed up a focused discussion on green opportunities in the commercial real estate market.

Luxury real estate coupon buzz stirred nationally last week, after Cape Coral resident Rich Ricciani bought an advertisement in a Southwest Florida publication that included a million coupon for his .9 million Italian villa. The Wall Street Journal and television news programs in Chicago and California picked up on the program.

“We figured everyone likes to save some money,� said Ricciani. 62, a retired accountant who now buys and sells real estate full-time.

So there you have it, Chicago real estate in in flux. But if you have the means, there is plenty of opportunity.
