A home is not really a home. It is a collection of systems. These systems are surprisingly varied when it comes to their lifespan. Specifically, the may last a long time or, in the case of a roof, they may not.

When considering the number of years different roofs might last, it is vital to keep in mind that while materials and other issues certainly play a role, the biggest issue is the impact of the power of nature.

When you think about it, a roof lasts an amazingly long time. It expands every day when the sun beats down on it and then contracts when night comes. It takes all the wind can give, gets pummeled by rain and even holds up snow many feet thick.

Given the beating a roof takes, it is not surprising that the type of roofing material used makes a huge difference. A slate rock roof is like putting tank armor on your home. It is going to last for at least 70 years, but it is going to cost you an arm and leg to buy and install.

On the other end of the range, we have the wood shingle roof. Depending on the type of shingle, you can expect it to last anywhere from 10 to 25 years. It is important to understand that these shingles basically come from left over wood pieces with all that implies.

Unlike slate roofs, there is another concern with wood shingle systems. Fire is the problem. Embers landing on wood shingle roofs almost always turn them into fire pits. You can buy far retardant treated wood shingles, but they are not much better.

If you like tiles, I have good news for you. One of the best roofing choices you have from both a financial, aesthetic and fire resistant point of view is the tile roof. They will last between 30 and 40 years as well so long as you consistently replace any broken shingles.

One really interesting new type of roofing you might want to check out is solar shingle roofing. These roofs come in rolls that are spread out in vertical columns down your roof. They are layered so that they look like flat shingles overlapping from top to bottom.

The solar shingle is pretty amazing. Initially, it turns your roof into an energy producer. In some states, you can feed that energy into the local utility system and actually make your meter run backwards, which eliminates your utility bill. Nice, eh?

Having a roof over your head is important, but only if it actually keeps the elements out. If yours is failing, take a look at the different roofing systems available. They can change the entire look of your home and even provide power.

Buying tax lien certificates can be a very profitable way to invest in real estate and with the right knowledge can provide very healthy returns on your money. But it’s not to be treated as a “get-rich-quick” scheme, as the in-experienced can find it soon becomes a “lose-your-shirt-quick” investment model. By way of a brief introduction, a tax lien is basically a means that guarantees that a business or individual that lends money or provides a service will be repaid for that investment, by securing a lien on the property of the person receiving the money or services.

A tax lien certificate is issued and is secured against the personal property of the person receiving the loan. Of all the different types of liens, the most popular or common is the mortgage lien. Every different type of lien is subject to its own set of rules and regulations.

Of the property liens we are considering here, there are two types - namely the general lien and the particular lien. The particular lien comes into play when an investor claims the right of access to a property in return for services or money which they invested in the particular property. Most liens can also be divided into two main groups - namely legal and federal liens (which can be enforced in a court of law) and equity liens which are valid only in courts dealing with equity.

When you buy a tax liened property you need to be aware that you are not actually buying the property itself. What you are doing in effect is lending the property owner the money they need to pay back their tax arrears. The property owner is also agreeing to repay that loan, with an agreed amount of interest, within the already determined repayment period that was established when the tax lien certificate was sold.

So here’s how we make our profits. If the property owner is able to repay the value of the tax lien certificate back to you within the allotted schedule, including all interest owed to you, he retains ownership of the property, and his credit rating remains intact.

If the property owner fails to repay the lien in time, ownership of the property is transferred to the holder of the tax lien certificate - in this case you, as the recent purchaser of the lien - and you are free to manage that property as you see fit as the new legal owner.

As a tax lien investment, the mechanism will make money whatever the outcome. If the original owner repays the lien on time, your profit is the amount of interest that was set on the tax lien certificate. Where the owner defaults, and you become the new owner of the property, the amount of profit will be determined what you choose to do with your new real estate acquisition.

There is a lot more information you need to be aware of, and a lot more knowledge required before you go off a buy your first property tax lien certificate, but in simple terms, it is a very realistic model to make money and invest in real estate.

Boomers-Bank The Investor’s Guide to Commercial Real Estate and Retirement Planning How to Invest In Commercial Real Estate Using Your IRA or 401(k)Maximize Your Profitand Save For Retirement

Boomers-Bank Introduction Why invest in real estate using your retirement plan? In this book, we’re going to discuss several concepts for buying real estate using IRAs and 401(k)s; the socalled nontraditional investments. Let’s start by asking what advantage is there to all of this? Why not just let your IRAs and 401(k)s sit around and do whatever it is they’ve always done? Well, you can secure tax-deferred or tax-free income for one thing. Anytime you have a profit or a gain, either you are not paying taxes on the gains until you start using the money, or if it is in a ROTH IRA, you aren’t paying taxes at all. By having real estate in a retirement plan, you are also avoiding what’s known as capital gains every time you sell property. Your money is allowed to accumulate and your interest will compound. Moreover, you can put all of the money back into your next deal. However, you’ve got to bear in mind the current state of the economy. Money doesn’t just sit around these days. In most parts of the world, the dollar is losing value at a pretty alarming rate. The United States is a country at the edge of a financial and economic precipice, owing trillions of dollars to other countries and borrowing money against, well, the value of its existing borrowed money (we’ll talk about this later). The infrastructure of the United States is at present rather unorganized. We aren’t producing much and so we’re importing more than we’re exporting. It’s basic mathematics. Notice how the prices of food and gas have been rising recently. That should give you a pretty clear idea of what’s going on and what is likely to continue to happen (we’ll also talk about this a little later on). The main focus of this book, however, is to demonstrate the value of nontraditional investment choices for 401Ks. Our goal is not only to introduce you to the reasons why these choices are advantageous, but it is also to explain the particulars of the related processes. For the sake of helping you confront your financial advisor or accountant, we’ll discuss the various strategies for undertaking this type of investment. We also plan to take you through the processes for finding appropriate real estate to undertake the actual investment. Since the property market can be a bit difficult to navigate, particularly if you’re a beginner, we’ll allow you to benefit from our wealth of experience and wisdom on the subject.

We need to establish here why most people don’t invest their 401K, despite the fact that it is a very sound financial move. Firstly, what most average Americans do not understand is that you and your IRA/401K are two separate entities. Repeat: you are not one and the same, nor are you in any way, shape or form joined at the hip. You will need to absorb this fact so you can begin to understand how to actually structure a deal with your IRA. If you don’t take the time to learn the difference between you and your retirement plan, you’re going to spend a lot of time wondering, “is it me, or is it this plan that owes this money and needs to pay this bill?”. Let’s avoid confusion. Depending on the particulars of the loan you broker, the answer to this question, who owes the money, will be quite different. The next concept you need to bear in mind is that you and your IRA/401K, being two separate entities, have a third-party administrator for all of your deals. All deals involving your IRA or 401K will thus have a third party acting as a recordkeeper, administrator and a custodian or trustee. They will be the entity that is actually holding the money as well as the person who must meet government guidelines and regulations to be able to hold your retirement money. That said, let’s move onto the specifics of IRAs and 401Ks. We’re going to mention these entities quite a bit throughout the book, so it pays to be clear now. An IRA is a place where you can keep your assets for retirement, basically all the money that will see you through when you are no longer working. What most people don’t understand, however, is that you can pour into your IRA whatever type of investments you want, while your assets can take any one of a number of forms. It is important to note though that your IRA is not an investment in itself. Next, let’s take a look at non-traditional investments. Of course, retirement planning is a big issue for a lot of people. Most people, when they think about it, consider themselves limited to stocks, bonds, mutual funds, and the like. There’s a general consensus that these are the types of things that we should be investing our money in so that it will grow in the years that we’re working, giving us something to fall back on when the time comes. What a lot of people don’t know, however, is that these investment types are not necessarily the best option. They certainly aren’t’ the only option.

Non-traditional investments such as real estate, notes, foreclosure properties, rehab properties, and other things along these lines, may actually be much more viable investments for the baby boomer generation. In this book, we’re going to explore the ways you can go about investing in real estate for maximum efficiency and return. By law, there are only two things you cannot put in a retirement plan: you can’t use retirement money to buy life insurance and you can’t put collectibles, such as art work or antiques, into your plan, not that most of us have to worry about these types of things. Long story short, the IRS gives you a pretty free rein. They let you be your own advisor and best financial friend when it comes to retirement. Many people believe that they already have a self-directed plan for their retirement, particularly if they are working with a brokerage firm. There is some truth to this. While you select your own mutual funds and stocks in many cases, most brokerage firms won’t allow you to invest in real estate or notes. Thus, they usually have a limiting plan for investment. Unless you take something of a do-it-yourself route, real estate investment options using your 401k or IRAs are actually quite limited. To purchase such nontraditional types of investments within your retirement plan, you need to be allowed to self-direct. The person or entity holding your money, the custodian, must allow you to self-direct. One of the perceived disadvantages to self-direction, of course, is that you are assuming responsibility for how well your retirement plan actually does. You can, for example, pick the wrong stocks and bonds and hence secure nothing but financial losses. Thus, you can end up jeopardizing your future if you don’t take the right approach. On the other hand - and let’s now consider an example - you can save yourself a lot of money by acting in a financially sensible and knowledgeable way. Consider the case of Ms. X. Working as an investment advisor, Ms. X has been investing stocks and bonds for many years in her retirement plan. Her plan, like most of her contemporaries, is driven by traditional types of investments. During her working life, Ms. X has invested a good deal of money in real estate. In fact, it’s become something of a hobby to her. However, one of the problems with such an approach is that she had to pay taxes on the profits she made from her real estate investments. Using her retirement plan to make the investment, however, Ms. X discovered a way of avoiding these issues, as a number of other savvy individuals have done before. Real estate investing is nothing new as a means of acquiring wealth; it is a practice that has been popular since the beginning of recorded history. Most of the wealthiest people in history have either secured or built the bulk of their wealth using real estate. Land had always been the defining possession of the nobility in the vast majority of early socio-economic systems. Even during times of war and economic depression, land and property have tended to hold up as strong sources of wealth. Hence, it is safe to say that things are unlikely to be much different these days. However, despite the popularity of real estate and the many centuries of experienced buying and selling, even some of the most savvy investors are still unaware that they can use their retirement plans to invest and thereby save themselves from capital-gains’ taxes and other such annoyances. Although many people claim to feel ‘trapped’ by traditional investment options, the vast majority of them are totally oblivious to the fact that real estate is available to serve as one rather convenient nontraditional investment commodity for use in individual retirement plans (IRAs) and 401(k)s.

The dual advantages of real estate and IRA/401(k) investments are overlooked. The only requirement of the IRS is that you have a custodian for your IRA or other retirement plan, which we will review. Beyond that, you are free to use your IRA or other qualified retirement plan to invest in real estate. You can also use your plan to keep your real estate investment, earning money and limiting what you have to pay in taxes. Since 1975, one has been able to use Keogh plans, now known as qualified plans, to purchase real estate as a tax-deferred investment option. With the increase to allowable contributions, simple employee retirement plans have become popular as well. In 1997, Roth IRAs further enhanced the popularity of tax-free investments. In 2006, the establishment of Roth 401(k)s made it possible for deferrals to be made regardless of salary amounts. At this point in time, the long and the short of it is that investment options are phenomenal and as we shall explore soon, the need for making sensible investments has never been greater. Whether you currently have retirement funds or you’re looking to set up funds for investment purposes, the time is right for you to make an investment in real estate using your IRA or qualified retirement plan. This book will show you how. This unque book has a retail value of $35,000.

In certain years a blanket assessment is enacted resulting in a re-assessment of property taxes. Often inaccurate “quick” values are concocted. Many times adjustment is enacted using a multiplier factor to adjust these values. Little time is allocated to this rendering of property value.

Appraisal companies bid for the blanket reappraisal contract for a community. The low bid wins the contract. Ask yourself if the bid allocation was $35 per home, how much time could be spent on that appraisal? Consider the appraiser has to make a profit for his effort further reducing the time allotment to appraise. Often college kids or those with little appraisal experience are employed.

Errors frequently occur when blanket appraisers do their job. Furthermore, if the original assessment was in error, employing multipliers to roll over previous years assessments is invalid.

If the building and tax department cooperated, there would be no need for a blanket reappraisal. Building permits and final market values could be incorporated into the individual values of homes with the tax role. There would be no need for blanket reassessment duplicating already established values.

A tax assessor has little time to appraise a home and usually do not engage in that activity. Tax assessors are often politically appointed and are not trained and experienced real estate appraisers. Their usual method of deriving value is based on a cost basis instead of a market value approach. The market value approach is based on what an informed buyer would pay for the home, not what it cost to build it.

Selling prices of homes are constantly changing. When appealing your property taxes, only market value holds weight. Your home must equal the current selling price of other comparable home in your area.

A huge amount of money is spent on blanket municipal appraisals. Sure they may catch the occasional patio or shed built without a permit, but that does not warrant the extra appraisal cost.

This spells out gigantic loopholes for homeowners. Doing a simple analysis of your home’s market value and seeing how it lines up with the appraised value can save thousands of dollars wasted on taxes.

The ‘use’ factor and customer profiling in buying an apartment building

john krol Boomers Bank

So it finally hits you that investing in real estate is the best possible move you can make with your money. You would like to buy an apartment building, your search for reading material on the topic has brought you to this article. What one thing do you need to consider when making this investment?

The answer; use, use and use. Use is the most important factor in terms of the property’s value. For your investment to be a success, you need to think of the building’s use for you as well as for your tenants. You need to also put yourself in the shoes of your customers, i.e. your tenants. To kick start things, first attain information on the demographics of the area in which you want to invest in. This should give you a basic idea of who your target audience is and will also allow you to build a general profile of your client.

With that profile in mind, think then of what the average tenant would need if he/she lives in your building. Regardless of who you rent out to, people will always need and want basic amenities near by. Thus, you have to ensure that the apartment building you buy is located near a grocery store, entertainment facilities, medical facilities and the like. You should note that although people might have cars, they do not like to driving for more than 10 minutes to get the basic necessities. For example, in an emergency situation, no person would like to drive more than 10 minutes to get to a hospital.

Following the universal needs, you need to look a little more closely into the profile you have outlined. The more you breakdown this profile, the greater will be chances for success. For instance, if currently you feel that your building will primarily be occupied by families, then you should study the demographic data carefully to figure out what kind of families are we talking about. Will the families be newly married couples or families with school-going children? If it?s the former of the two cases, then your building should ideally be located near a good quality daycare center. Meanwhile, if it?s the latter of the two cases, then you will be best positioned if the building is a near a good quality school.

Use is possibly the most important factor when one is to make a purchase. Combine that with customer profiling, and you have the recipe for success. However, always remember that you shouldn?t venture outside your comfort zone unless you absolutely have to. Comfort zone here refers to areas with which you are familiar and have possibly had experience in previously. This point is important always but even more when you are initially starting out as a real estate investor. When starting out, stick to what you know and try out new things only when you feel you have a handle on the situation. And always, always, keep your eyes and ears open to absorb whatever information you can about your location so that you are never left in the dark.

The more you start working on your own financial intelligence using free tools such as the information and materials at http://blog.ira-401k-realestate.com remember to ask for the free ebook—

One of the best ways to get started with building your own personal wealth-building system is by investing in real estate. Becoming a real estate investor is a daunting task, but one that will, if operated efficiently, pay dividends forever.

How does one start with the business of real estate investing? Let’s look at plans to get started buying and selling real estate property:

First things first where to find the information. In the last several years the amount of real estate investment groups has exploded. Find a local one and attend a meeting. And dont be afraid to ask the most basic of questions.

Most of these clubs are very open with new members or any one intrested in investing. So show up and mingle. Most investors love to share war stories or exchange information on purchases they have mad or services they have used.

Before actually buying any investment properties, beginning real estate investors should begin to put their organizations together by outlining a specific business plan. The plan should go over every step in the purchase of a property, from the marketing strategies on through the sale or leasing of a property.

At first you need to decide on what type of property to start with. If your goal is to find distressed houses then focus on those. If you want to deal with the condo market..then thats where you look. Keep in mind when you focus on one area you will become more understanding of what those types of property can be sold for, not to mention how much it cost to get them sale ready.

Ok now comes the fun part. you need to find the people that offer the skills you need to accomplish your plan. Contractors,handy men, sub-contractors etc. Finding the right people to make your team is the hardest part of this game. (I use the same people for the same job on EVERY property I buy)

Lets say you choose a “fixer” for your first project. Be ready to put on your team a contractor, a electrician, heating and AC guy..and of course a plumber. Now a word to the wise. IF you can find one…a GREAT handyman will be able to do all the above metioned and normally at a far cheaper cost.

Working with a investors real estate agent in a dream….but they are a nightmare to find. Interview your agent. Tell them exactly what you want to do. Tell them..”I want to invest in real estate…I want to buy x amount of properties a year”. this means you need to have an agent thats willing to do far more for you then just show you a house or two. A good agent will write offers..LOTS of offers, and show you the selling history for a given area.

Have an exit tatic in mind. This is a critical element of investing in real estate. How are you planning on selling this house once it is fixed and ready for market. How much room do you have on price so you sell it and still make a profit.

Are mistakes going to happen yes. They happen to every real estate investor..the trick is to learn how to spot them. the longer you hold on to a property the lower your profit.

In the end, the investor who runs their business in the most efficient ways will profit, succeed, and grow in real estate investing.

When refinancing a mortgage loan, homeowners have several options. There are numerous reasons for refinancing an existing mortgage. The past five years have witnessed low mortgage rates. However, low rates will not remain forever. Before interest rates begin to climb, homeowners should take advantage of their refinancing option.

Many financial lending institutions offer mortgage refinancing. If hoping to secure a good refi loan, it may be practical to use a refinancing specialist. Mortgage specialists are able to address all your concerns. Moreover, they can offer expert advice on which type of mortgage refinancing to choose.

Teaser rates are usually used to promote products that are better for the lender than they are for the homeowner; however, they can be useful in certain situations. If you need short-term financing while you sell your home, a teaser rate could save you money. Make sure the loan does not include a penalty for early repayment as this would eat up your savings with an unnecessary fee.

When you do your homework and research mortgage offers you will better understand the mortgage refinancing process. Understanding mortgage terms, interest rates, and fees will enable to choose the best loan for your financial situation.

To fully understand what you’re getting into with any mortgage loan, carefully read the Good Faith Estimate to find out exactly what you’re paying for mortgage refinancing.

Have you ever considered bank owned property, for investing? Foreclosure investing will comprise buying a home after the original mortgagor defaults and loses ownership of the property. If you’re thinking about getting into foreclosure investing then you must be the kind of person who is interested in researching a properties history and doing minor repairs to increase the profit potential of your investment property.

That is why investors are springing up all over the country to buy bank owned properties. Why is buying a bank owned property such a good idea? The truth is in most cases your buying foreclosed properties below market value and depending on the situation the discount off market value could be five to forty percent. It depends on many things like repairs the location you are considering buying a foreclosed property.

Of course the profit potential will depend on the condition of the bank owned property. You will also want to consider the interest rate. Currently, interest rates are at record breaking lows. These market conditions are very attractive to investors. There are a number of upscale homes that are going through foreclosure and are selling for at all time lows.

Finding a foreclosed property is easy. Nowadays there are many different sources you can go to. Usually in the newspaper there is a number to call to get local listings. There are also commercials on television which give you the toll free number to call. A faster way to get an idea of the bank foreclosure properties in your area or anywhere in the country is to go to the “online resources page” of http://www.foreclosurehowtobuy.com

Never let yourself get into a bidding war. Expect competition when looking at bank owned properties. Decide the max you are willing to invest prior to making an offer on the property. It is easy to get caught up in the excitement of bidding, but it isn’t a deal if you win a bid that is more than you can afford.

Now is the time you can get the best price on the size house you want. The economy is not in very good shape today. Many people cannot afford to make car or home payments. This leaves the ones who have saved up in the past at an advantage. How long have you been saving for a house of your own? How would you like twenty to forty percent more property for the same price as traditionally purchased real estate, looking into bank owned property can save you big money.

This motivation, combined with the principle of supply and demand, results in foreclosed properties being available to investors below their market value. The difference between what an investor sells a property for, minus acquisition cost and expense, is the investor’s profit. Investors can increase this profit in two ways. The first is to maximize what they sell the property for by making improvements. Since foreclosed properties are taken against the wishes of the homeowners, they will not be in pristine shape without some work before re-selling, as a traditionally marketed real estate is.

Locating profitable property to invest in these days is a breeze. Just go online and start your search. For example, search for “http://www.foreclosurehowtobuycom” and you will find a searchable database of bank owned properties. With the ever increasing cost of property buying foreclosed property has become much more socially acceptable and highly profitable. Real estate agents are creating many new and innovative ways to show foreclosure properties. Learn how to do the research, and you’ll be able to make an educated judgment on what Bank Owned Properties will earn a profit for you.

The thought of Las Vegas for many people conjures up the image of the “city that never sleeps”. Nonetheless, Las Vegas has a lot more to offer than casinos and shows. For instance, Madame Tussauds Wax Museum, with its fully interactive theme is a must for your itinerary when visiting Las Vegas. Not only can you actually touch your favorite celebrities, you get the opportunity to role play with them too. As an alternative, you could take a trip to Death Valley or woo your loved one on a romantic gondola ride along the Venetian.

If you are thinking about making Las Vegas your home, consider a condominium. The average price of a Las Vegas condominium is $273,550 or $215.86 per square foot. However, there is a wide range of prices in the Vegas area.

Renting a condominium is a great choice if you are not yet ready to commit to buying your home. A Las Vegas condominium costs an average of $1,250 or $1.17 per square foot but the range is very varied depending on the area you choose to live. For example you could pay up to $9,000 for a luxurious property in a desirable area, as opposed to as little as $200 per month for an older property in a less attractive neighborhood.

If you are planning to move to the fast-paced city of Las Vegas, do some research and be aware of the surroundings. Las Vegas is a fun, upbeat place that can give you plenty of opportunity. The cost of living is reasonable and the job market is doing well. There are plenty of jobs available if you know where to look. Good luck finding your Las Vegas condominium.

As far as condominiums are concerned they start at a modest $30,000 and go anywhere up to luxury penthouse properties costing $20 million or so.
