While it may not happen often in Metro DC, real estate investors are not immune to having issues with squatters living in their vacant properties. Squatters are people who occupy a property without the owner’s permission and without legal ownership. They might “squat” for a few weeks or years at a time, typically in abandoned, vacant, or neglected buildings.
For real estate investors, adding value to a property is a strategic move to increase profitability. One often overlooked opportunity is finishing an attic. Transforming this underutilized space into a functional area can significantly enhance a property’s appeal, boost its market value, and attract quality tenants or buyers. We regularly see our borrowers maximize their profits by finishing attices. Here’s how investors can approach this investment with maximum returns in mind.
Today, I want to talk about something that all the borrowers pay for at closings but typically have little understanding or appreciation for. It is title insurance. Title insurance is a type of insurance policy designed to protect both the owner (real estate investor) and the lender from financial losses related to title defects or disputes that may arise after a real estate transaction has closed. Here’s how it works and how it protects both parties:
Fixing and flipping real estate—buying properties, renovating them, and selling them for a profit—can be highly profitable if done right. However, it also carries significant risks if not managed properly. As a hard money lender, we see some of our borrowers building thriving businesses and others giving up after their first transaction.
Trust me, the luck of the draw has little to do with it. What sets a successful real estate investor apart is their discipline in following the best strategies for a successful fix-and-flip investment. The good news is that you don’t have to reinvent the wheel or learn by trial and error. We’ve put together a detailed list of these best practices that is thoroughly reality-based. I can attest that ignoring each item on this list can drain your project’s profits. In contrast, paying careful attention to each bullet point will increase your profits and minimize your risk.
As a real estate investor, you work for months, getting up early, working on weekends and holidays, and taking all sorts of calls after hours. Not only you don’t get paid, but also spend a wazoo of your own money with the hope that one day you will make a profit. And when that day comes, guess who is knocking on your door? It’s Uncle Sam, and he wants his share. This is why every rehabber owes it to themselves and their families to know how to reduce their taxes. Reducing taxes directly increases the net return on investment. One of the best ways to do this is a 1031 exchange.
Radon levels might not be high on the list of concerns of a real estate investor trying to decide whether to invest in a particular property. Title issues, renovation budgets, the accuracy of the after-repair value, and real estate market trends should all supersede it. However, when the dust settles, and the decision has been made, you need to ensure radon-level compliance regardless of whether you plan to sell your property or hold it as a rental. For this reason alone, any savvy real estate investor should know local radon regulations and how to address them.
