How to Find Buyers For Your Duplex

Nov20
2011 Leave a Comment Written by Hal Cranmer

Is it time to sell your duplex or other multifamily? Are you ready to
move in to a regular house and (ugh) make mortgage payments yourself?
Maybe you want to sell to raise cash and start putting the money into
other investments. Whatever the reason for selling your duplex, you
may need to go beyond just putting it on the MLS and listing with a
realtor, especially in this economy.

Duplexes and other multifamily properties are generally purchased by
investors (like yourself). If you want to find these investors, you'll
need to go where they hang out. I found this list on the internet of
places where they hang out. The list is generally for wholesalers to
help them build a buyer's list, but could be used to find a buyer for
your duplex. READ MORE ť

I was looking through my emails tonight and noticed that the weekly
e-newsletter from biggerpockets and noticed an article on the `Perfect
Craigslist Ad'. Since I do nearly all of my advertising on craigslist,
I was very intrigued. Here is the video:

Andy Heller Lease Option Course

Oct30
2011 Leave a Comment Written by Hal Cranmer

Last month I went to my local REIA meeting to hear national speaker
Andy Heller come and give a talk on lease options. He and his partner
Scott Frank have been buying houses and then selling them on lease
options for `maximum profits'. You can read more on Andy's website
called Regular Riches.

I really enjoyed Andy's presentation on lease options, especially since
I am trying to lease option my only single family rental so I can
concentrate on renting my duplexes. He gave a talk during the regular
monthly meeting of my REIA and then had an additional all-day Saturday
class two weeks later (for $59) where he went more in-depth into his
strategies. He even handed out his Amazon ebook - Sell Even Lower for
free. I do not want to give away all that he talked about, but he had
some great tips and techniques. READ MORE ť

Mailbox Money

The real reason we are in this real estate game is to create wealth.
Well what if you could receive cash payments from your rental
properties without the hassle of being a landlord? Just go out to your
mailbox each month, open envelopes with checks in them and cash them at
the bank? No broken plumbing, no advertising for tenants, no dealing
with tenant complaints...sound good? You bet it does. Well here's
how...

I had a conversation on the phone the other day with Marc Faulkner of
Creative Funding Service. The audio of the phone call can be found
below. Marc is a note broker. What that means is that Marc buys and
sells mortgages to private individuals and financial institutions, many
times at a discount. Basically he helps you become the bank, not the
landlord.

Size Matters - or at least the appearance of size!

Aug27
2011 Leave a Comment Written by Hal Cranmer

Every landlord wants to get the most rent they can. In general I have
found when renting out my properties that the ones with the biggest
rooms, especially kitchens and bathrooms, command the most rent. Makes
sense right? The bigger houses sell for more. However, many duplexes
and other multifamily properties have smaller rooms. So how to help in
these cases? READ MORE ť

"I've Got a Guy" - How to Find A Contractor for Your Duplex

Aug18
2011 Leave a Comment Written by Hal Cranmer

If you buy a duplex and run it as a rental property, sooner or later
you will have to perform some kind of maintenance or fix up for it.
Some of the maintenance or repairs can be done by you but other stuff
will require a contractor. For me in Minneapolis, I can't do much of
anything. City and county ordinances require me to use a licensed
contractor for even the simplest plumbing and electrical work. You
might find yourself in the same boat. So how do you find a respectable
contractor for your rental duplex without paying an arm and a leg.
Well, read on... READ MORE ť

How to Get Maximum Rent for a Vacancy

Aug14
2011 1 Comment Written by Hal Cranmer

On Friday one of my best tenants called to say that one of them would
be taking a job out of state and are putting in their notice for a
November 1st move-out. On the one hand this is sad for me, because I
really liked them, they kept the place nice and neat, and they always
paid their rent on time. However, I was charging (what I believe) was
below market rent and this may be a chance to increase my cash flow.

An Idea for Increasing Rents

Aug10
2011 Leave a Comment Written by Hal Cranmer

Many property managers have duplexes and other rental properties near
colleges. That means you might rent to a lot of students who
reluctantly sign up for a full year lease but really want to go back
home in the summer time and not necessarily want to pay rent for a
place they are not occupying. Well I was referred to a website by a
friend that might help both you AND your tenant if that is the case.
It doesn't have to be just college students. Anyone that you rent to
who doesn't want to occupy the place for the whole year may want to
take advantage of this opportunity. READ MORE ť

FinestExpert

Aug07
2011 1 Comment Written by Hal Cranmer

While searching around for other real estate websites that might make
my life easier, I came across `FinestExpert'. This website seems
like a pretty good website for people looking for properties. Also it
would be a good resource for people wanting to sell their property
because it would give them an idea of what they might be able to price
it for.

The website tries to look at properties from a strictly financial point
of view. Like many other real estate websites, the information is only
as accurate as the data that it was given. For instance, there is no
way the website would know what kind of work a property needs to get it
up to speed. So you can't just rely on a website like this to answer
all your questions - you need to do a full analysis. READ MORE ť

Heads up: There's an ongoing spamdexing of Google searchbot algorithms. Sites that are 'copies of copies' and cloaked sites which include Zorgium keywords presented to search engine crawlers yet garbage content presented to human visitors were hosted on thousands of IP addresses and domains registered immediately after the introduction of Zorgium in November of 2009. The Hostgator/'The Planet'/Softlayer datacenters in Texas seem to be the epicenter of this activity in conjunction with anonymously registered domains of various TLD's but primarily .info domains at Godaddy which, in our opinion, has some sort of connection to the domains of goldmint.in and goldmint.org. Google has begun to notice this and has begun to lower the ranking of these sites and put our original sites back on top of the search rankings. These actions, as far as we can tell, negatively impact the use of the keyword 'zorgium' as a search term and provided little benefit, if any, to the perpetrators.

ZORGIUM note to content providers: If you don't want your page to appear in Zorgium's search abstraction then put an exclusion for "Zorgium" in your web server's robots.txt file.
