sell my homes
Should you buy or rent? It depends on your circumstances, and the real estate market where you are going to live. Years ago, I sold a home for a young couple who owed almost as much as the sales price on their house. They needed to take money from savings to pay the closing costs and sales commission. You can bet that they wished they had rented for the couple years they lived there.

This brings up the first thing to consider when comparing buying versus renting: the amount of time you'll be there. Buying and later selling a home will usually cost about 10% or more of the value of the home. These costs mean that if the home only went up in value 10% or so in the year or two you lived there, you won't be gaining anything (equity gain from principal pay-down is very little in the first years). You'll often be better off renting if you'll be in a town for less than a few years.

What about towns with faster rates of appreciation? Have you done some serious homework? If not, to assume appreciation will be more than the rate of inflation is just gambling. The sellers in the example above sold for the same price they bought the house for two years earlier – and this was in a decent and growing area. You can't count on fast appreciation just because it has been that way recently.

To Buy Or Rent – Cost Comparison

Looking at buying versus renting, you have to take into account that in many places it cost much more to buy. In Tucson, Arizona, for example, a small home can cost $200,000. The mortgage payment, taxes, insurance and maintenance will add up to about $1,600 per month, but you can rent the same size home for about $800.

What does that mean? Many real estate fanatics will say you're at least buying something for your money, and renting is throwing your money away. Of course in this example more than $1,000 of your payment will be going towards interest alone, and that's not buying you anything.

Suppose you can afford the $1600 per month, but instead you rent for $800 and put the other $800 into a decent safe investment that makes you 5%? In three years you'll have over $30,000 in this account. If the home appreciated at 6% per year (it has been more like 25% per year recently, but that can't continue, and assuming so is not planning, but gambling), it would be worth $231,000. The costs of initially buying it and then selling it would be around $13,800 (2% buying and 6% selling), leaving you with a gain of about 19,000 once we include your principal pay-down.

In other words, you would be at least $11,000 better off if you rented and banked the difference. Every market is different, of course, so you have to do the math. Compare the total costs of owning versus renting, and then make safe assumptions about the rate of appreciation for homes.

If you'll definitely be in one place for a long time to come, it will almost always be better to buy than to rent. In the last example, buying becomes a better bet after about four or five years. Also consider that if you get a fixed rate mortgage, your payment will never change, a benefit landlords won't offer you that on your rent payment.

To sum up, look at the time you'll be there, the comparison of total monthly costs, whether rents are going up fast, and whether you have good reason to believe home prices will be going up fast. Then look also at all the personal factors. Do you want to be responsible for the maintenance, yard work and unpredictability of ownership problems?

To buy or to rent? In the end, you have to work this one out by yourself.

Homeowners struggling to sell a home are now turning to renting, creating a new breed of accidental landlords.

Most accidental landlords, are at the same time becoming tenants, moving themselves in to the homes of other families that cannot sell their homes. Often these changes of address mean an upgrade, better bathroom in a better neighbourhood.

There is a predicted decrease in rental income, which presents a dilemma for those Landlords whose mortgages remain at high levels.

A decent student letting agent in nottingham will be able to recommend good tradesmen at honest prices if any work need doing to the property. The agent would make sure that all applicable laws and regulations are abided by and you should be advised accordingly. You can and always should use a professional letting agent to find a suitable tenant and manage the property.

I've been in Property Management long enough to know that if it can happen, it will. Anyone looking to get in to the housing market via rental properties, or want to clean up what they already have, need to know the ins and outs of protecting your property from lawsuits and financial burdens. Not being prepared could cost you big financial damages with everything from property damage to Tenant liability law suits. You have to protect yourself ahead of time from the pitfalls that come so easily. You have to cover your bases.

Make sure your property is free of hazards: This should be your number one priority before leasing it out. So many property owners put more into their property's appearance than they do in making sure the entire property is safe and in accordance with city, state and federal mandates. Before they know it, they have a beautiful property falling in to the hands of an unassuming renter who tripped and fell on a loose floor board. You must Renter-Proof your property as a new parent might baby-proof their home. Along with having certified electricians, plumbers, etc check all the main problem areas, you need to take time – plenty of time – to walk around and examine every corner from driveway, to attic, to back yard fencing.

Some commonly overlooked areas are…
-pot holes in the driveway (trip hazard)
-loose stairwell handle (falling hazard)
-loose floor boards or carpet (trip hazard)
-torn fence (cut hazard or animal loss)
-loose window (could fall fast on fingers)
-old tree (could fall on people or Tenant property)
-crumbling/cracked/raised sidewalk (trip hazard)
-water tank turned to high (scalding is a real liability lawsuit, especially with children on property)

The list goes on and each thing could land you in a court room being sued for negligence should a renter injure themselves or their own property. Be sure to go as far as you can in the “What if” department because you're trying to plan for problems. Rule of thumb – if it's there, it needs to be in good working order!

Make a Rule-inclusive lease: Most landlords use standards leases that cover the length of the lease, the rent and utilities paid by Landlord/Tenant. This is not enough if your renter becomes less than desirable. Landlords need to make Rules and Regulations and make them detailed. Rules should cover everything from the appearance of the inside and outside of the property to fines and penalties for unpaid rent or utilities not kept on. For instance, if a Tenant is responsible for paying the heating bills, your lease should include a Rule that states clearly “failure to maintain the heating bill will be grounds for eviction and/or any damage caused by defaulting on this agreement”. This means that a Tenant who lets the heat get shut off for non-payment will be responsible for damage caused by the pipes freezing and busting in the winter time.

Some ideas for Rules incorporated in a lease are:
-Tenant can not alter the general appearance of the property (such as painting, wallpapering, construction, etc)
without written permission by the Landlord
-Tenant must use proper window coverings (no sheets, flags, blankets, etc can be supplemented)
-Tenant is responsible for maintaining front and rear of the property (no litter, personal items left out, etc)
-Tenant is responsible for removing any/all trash from the property promptly (no trash bags left out except the night before collection)
-Tenant may be subject to scheduled inspections upon 24hr notice by Landlord (inspect AT LEAST 1x year)
-Tenant must report any/all damages or items not working to Landlord promptly and failure to do so could result in Tenant being charged for further damages caused by failing to report promptly (water leaks, electrical, etc)
-Tenant will not change locks without written permission by Landlord and a working key be given to Landlord
-Tenant cannot add shrubs or trees to the property without written permission (tree/shrub roots cause damage if planted near foundations or sidewalks)
-Tenant cannot commit hazardous acts on the property such as scaling the building, being on the roof, climbing the trees, etc.

Again, the list goes on depending on your specific property and what your concerns are. When thinking up your Rules list, just consider how you want your property to look, what could cause damage to it, and what could cost you money to repair if damaged – or removed – by Tenant. Whatever you come up with, incorporate a Rule to cover it. You'll thank yourself later.

Add Security Deposit Information into Your Lease: The lease should specify how much the Tenant agreed to pay for a Security Deposit and what you could keep that security deposit for. You should specify that the Security Deposit will NOT be used for rent but will be kept to cover any money due for damage, cleaning costs, unpaid rent, fees, etc at the time the Tenant moves out ONLY. The reason this needs to be stated clearly is because, should you find your self in court later suing your now-ex Tenant for unpaid damages and you say “Yes I had a security deposit but I let the Tenant use it to cover one month of rent one time when they were in a tight spot”… the judge is most likely going to say “Nice, but too bad for you” since Security Deposits are used for costs assumed by the Landlord at the time the Tenant moves out.

Do a Move-in Inspection with Your New Tenant: Once you have someone who is willing to rent the property and has agreed to read and sign the lease, you'll need to walk through the entire property with the new Tenant. Open windows, doors, fidget with faucets, exhaust fans, etc. TAKE PICTURES of each room as it is the day is rented. The most common defense a Tenant will use in court when being sued for damages is “It was like that when I moved in!”. A picture will nip that pesky problem in the bud. Also, have ready an inspection sheet with all parts inclusive of your property. Each room should be marked with breakdowns of windows, closets, carpet, floors, sinks, appliances, etc. By having the Tenant sign that all appeared “okay” on the property and by keeping the pictures taken on the day that Tenant moved in, your guarding against absorbing costs for damages and theft later. In court – a picture says a thousand words… and likely saves a thousand dollars.

Taking care of your property is not complicated, you just need to consider what damage could possibly come to your property and plan for it. It's all about the “What If's”. When you rent out your property, you're taking a risk and while you hope for the best, you need to plan for the worst. If want something to happen, or you don't want something to happen – PUT IT IN WRITING! While verbal agreements can hold up in court – they are darn near impossible to prove. A signed, well-scripted lease placed in the judges hands will do the trick much better. And, on the other side of the coin, your Tenant has the right to know what the rules are so they can do their best to follow them. Do yourself and your Tenant the good service of Renter-Proofing your property before you rent it out. Every well-meaning person involved will thank you for it, and those ill-intended people will pay you for it!

A Short Sale is a very common sale for a home in today's Real Estate climate. Where as we weren't seeing Short Sales often before 2005, now it is a very common option for homeowners.

Basically, someone who puts their home on the market in Short Sale is more or less facing Foreclosure–unless they can sell it in the Short Sale. Homes on the market in Short Sale are generally priced lower than what the current owners owe on their mortgage (they're upside down). If a purchaser makes an offer on a home in Short Sale, the offer is submitted to the lending bank and if the amount is approved, the bank will sell the property at a loss, but not have to actually foreclose on it. If the bank does not accept the offer, it stays on the market in Short Sale.

There are pros and cons to a Short Sale for both the seller and the buyer.

For the seller, a Short Sale is a more viable option than going into Foreclosure. It doesn't make such a hit to your credit (a foreclosure will tie up your credit for 10 years) and often, if you really are as broke as you tell the bank, they will absorb the loss. In certain situations, you can split the loss or take a portion of it, which is occasionally a better deal then over paying for a home when you don't have the income to support it. In all cases, the IRS treats the loss (the portion the bank pays) as income to you, and you do have to pay taxes on it. Small price, if you ask me.

For a buyer, a Short Sale is better than a Foreclosure in many cases, as the homes are generally priced the same, but are in a heck of a lot better condition. Short Sales are usually homes that are still being lived in, or are recently vacant, where Foreclosures could have been vacant for a long period of time, housing wild animals and squatters, having roof leaks and rotting, or worse. The biggest downside of a Short Sale is that the bank often puts them on the back burner: they respond to offers at their leisure, so be prepared to wait a while for their answer. In certain cases that we are seeing today, Real Estate agents will agree to list properties as Short Sales without them actually being approved through the bank, and you may never get an answer back.

Weighing out the pros and cons of Short Sale, it is a better option for both parties than a Foreclosure. Generally the properties are in such better condition that it is worth the wait, and it is very nice of the banks to be giving the sellers such an easy break from their Real Estate ties.

The words unsecured and low rate wont usually be used to describe the same loan. Usually in granting an unsecured loan a lender is taking a greater risk with you and will therefore charge more interest. This could be about 2-6% more per annum than a secured loan for the same amount.

Unsecured loans for someone with poor credit will almost definitely have very high interest rates as someone with bad credit and low security you would pose the biggest risk for the lender.

Unsecured loans, especially for a person with bad credit are likely to be of lower value in the area of a few hundred dollars. This is another way that the banks limit their risk, when lending only small amounts at this high risk level. If you need a larger loan amount or a lower interest rate it will pay to shop around.

When you need a no credit check loan, it will be useful to do the research now to find the best rates. You should always get advice from a trained financial advisor.

It has come to light that some cow boy operators in this market have been putting profits before being fair and ethical. For most homeowners who have sold their house and need to rent it back their most pressing concern is the security of tenure. Many rent back companies offer only Assured Short hold Tenancies.The reason they do this is that there are no other tenancies which protect their rights as landlords as well. The problem with these tenancies is that once the fixed term is finished the landlord is legally allowed to ask the tenant to leave by issuing a section 21 notice..This obviously leaves the tenant vulnerable to eviction even if they wish to stay in the property. This minor point is usually forgotten by the company.

Homeowners who are looking at a sale and rent back scheme should be made aware of the pitfalls and talk in detail with the person who is buying their property. Homeowners should ask for references from previous clients who have sold their home and rent back.

A Company with good references and solid ethical standards is RentBack Direct.Contact them regarding rent back and you will not be dissapointed.

pWith the recession and many unemployed at the moment I have been thinking about those who have lost their jobs and are now quite financially insecure. What would the options be to me if this happened to me. I am currently a homeowner so at least I could consider selling up./pppA scheme that looks most appealing is to a href=http://www.rentbackdirect.co.uk sell my house and rent it back/a. Reviewing the websites visited I realised that the companies will not charge me any fees and would handle most of the paperwork for me. They will work with the individual every step of the way to make the process as easy to understand and go through as possible./ppI could get on with my life and not worry about financial stresses anymore with a scheme like this./ppHouse Reposession can be a frightening prospect not to mention the stress it would bring and the shame to our family. Visiting a company that allows an individual to sell their home and remain in it by renting it back can be one way of avoiding all this. A good rent and buy back firm will recommend a solicitor and will pay the costs./ppThis type of scheme can provide comfort to those whose options are limited. I am very fortunate that I am not really in this dilemma./ppnbsp;/p/p
