Cash Flow Word Cloud Concept in red caps
 Investing in real estate is one of the fastest ways to grow your wealth in America. As the housing market finally begins to climb again, you will want to jump in on the action and buy up properties that are bound to be inside of a booming economic area in the near future. However, before you spend your hard-earned income, you will want to know a few tips and tricks for ensuring your property is inherently valuable.To truly determine the concrete value of a property, you need to know its capitalization rate. All real estate professionals and amateurs put the capitalization rate above all else when determining whether or not to purchase a property.

Understanding a Triple Net Lease!


Tenancy agreement
 Real estate is a confusing world of jargon and intricacies. When a tenant signs a lease, they may have just signed on to more than they bargained for.  If you’re not in the real estate business than it can be easy to assume that there is only one type of lease, but, in fact, there are many different types of leases. A fairly common lease, especially with commercial renting, is the triple net lease. The triple net lease may seem like a fairly simple type of lease, but understanding what it entails before signing on to it can save a lot of financial heartache down the road. http://www.realestateresource.tv

Negotiating a Commercial Lease!


Types of Commercial Leases!While the internet and modern economy have made it increasingly hard to define “local business” and think about what businesses look like, one thing is still true for many industries and most businesses around the country: you will need a location to operate out of.  Leasing a commercial space is a great option that will let you feel comfortable and secure without investing too much of your money up front, but there are some things you need to keep in mind when leasing a property for commercial uses.  Namely, negotiating a lease can be tricky, and you shouldn’t assume that negotiating lease terms will be a quick and easy process.  Here’s some tips on the most important things you should address in your lease negotiations..http://www.realestateresource.tv

What are the Best Tax Write Offs for Realtors to use?




How to Find Tax Breaks - Magnifying Glass

Taxes are a frustrating but a constant part of life. They are complicated and can cause stress and financial distress. So when we can get taxes to work for us, it is a doubling pleasing experience. Using the tax code to take all the deductions that you possibly can is something that every realtor and small business owner really should be doing. Getting the satisfaction of either paying less money or potentially even getting money from the IRS makes it well worth the effort. Not getting all the write off’s you can is like seeing free money on the ground and not picking it up. Using deductions is very important, but what are the best deductions for realtors to use? http://www.realestateresource.tv

The Benefits of Joining a Real Estate Team!

Student Photo
Successful Realtors need to consistently market and prospect for new clients while still working in their business and handling all that is required with the listing and selling of properties, the showing of buyers, meeting home inspectors, following up with lenders, etc. A real estate team provides a structure to ensure that all the various tasks are covered including consistent marketing and prospecting. Without a team, a single Realtor will make a few sales happen, follow them through to closing and then have to start the marketing and prospecting process all over again loosing valuable time and sales. http://www.realestateresource.tv
