This month, we have a rock star line up of guest speakers. If you’re interested in becoming part of the mastermind, check it out here.
Here’s what’s coming up in April!
There’s several steps you’ll need to be aware of when buying a rental property. Over the next several weeks, I’ll be breaking these steps down for you.
Let’s start with Step 1- Determine Your Criteria:
- Asset class- single family, small multifamily, apartments, storage, etc.
- Strategy- short-term, long-term, mid-term
- Market- cash flow market or appreciation market
- Price point- lower price points will likely have more competition but are usually more accessible for a beginning investor while higher price points will likely have less competition since the buyer pool is smaller
- Your Time- Is this deal worth your time? Would a different deal be a better use of your time?
- Partnership or Solo- Do you need a partner? If you share profits with a partner, is there enough profit once it’s split?
Once you have your answers to each of these criteria, you’ll be ready to move on to step 2!
Have you heard about the new bill in California that proposes taxing flippers 25%? Bill AB 1771 proposes taxing 25% of the profit for home flippers. Depending on the source, anywhere from 18-33% of recent home sales were purchased by investors. What’s interesting about this bill though is that it specifically focuses on taxing flippers rather than large institutional investors who are buying and holding which could be argued is also contributing to rising prices. I suggest you take a look at this article, Taxing Flippers 25% In California, that provides some interesting stats and dives deeper into the issue. I’d be curious to know what you think of the bill and the larger issue at hand?
