Tips for Private Rehabs by:Otto Ruebsamen
What are private rehabs? The private rehabs are bought property from the real estate
developers on a wholesale basis and then let it out on rent or for sale. If you are one of them, to secure your investments in real estate market, you should follow some ground rules to make sure that the investment you are making is profitable. You should use various types of standard techniques and basic strategies while analyzing the property. Some of them are:
1. One of the mantras of buying property is that the private rehabs should try to purchase a house that is just about average or lesser, in a locality that is not in the top-of-the-line neighborhoods. Also keep in mind the exit strategy. It is important that the property attracts people. Any property that will have long term potential in the sense of appreciating value is an ideal property.
2. In case you are planning to join the league of private rehabs, try to buy property that will attract tenants and buyers, soon. For example, a property on the street that is well kept and maintained properly. It is not essential to opt for homes that are at the higher end, but the ones that are available in the sub-divisions (also known as the 'blue collar' areas) are also good. Here the home owners and the tenants work in collaboration to maintain the area and neighborhood. In a stark contrast, the streets that do not have any maintenance strategy and look dirty on arrival do not attract customers and usually go with numerous vacancies. Basically they do not attract quality tenants. Thus, private rehabs should be careful in picking such homes or streets, how-so-ever cheap they may be.
3. You have to remember that you are buying property for investment purpose. The property should appreciate in value and attract some customers. The idiom "you make money when you buy, and not when you sell the property" is truly applicable to all the private rehabs. In case you want to become successful in the business, it is not important that you end up buying a lot of property. Rather buy one property for a successful rehab project. The private rehabs should know the comfortable margin between the buying price and the resale price that will eventually affect the property. This kind of margin will help you in achieving your goals even if you have your rehab budget that is more than average.
4. The private rehabs have to keep in mind that the property doesn't come alone. It comes with the utility bills, taxes, insurances and interests that keep accumulating. And each time you do not sell or rent the property, it will eat into your profits. Thus if you buy right kind of property then, you need not fear the surprises that come along with the it, as it will definitely attract clients and you will positively gain.
It can be advantageous if you get in contact with the private rehabs in case you are planning to buy property for the first time.
