Linkmaster: how to minimise closing cost ?
Home selling costs for me are typically: 3% selling agent commission, 1% listing agent commission, 2% excise tax, 2-4% staging, escrow and vacancy costs. Don't think we can save anything other that 1% listing agent commission by getting a real estate license. Have been lazy to do that, but those 1%s have added up to quite a bit in hindsight. We will save a lot in vacancy costs, staging and agent commissions if our tenant buys the home...but i was never able to do that. |

Sesani:in this specific post discussion of gotcha and BB... increase in the home price since the day it was bought assuming ur planning to see today....
Yes, that's one way to buy more properties...you can use that equity towards down payment for another property or two. You are increasing your risk by doing that, so we need to be really sure about what we are getting into and have a plan for the worst case scenario. If the market goes down, we may not be able to see the homes at a price that will clear the loan....so we need to make sure that we will have enough liquidity and staying power to come out of the downturn. One good thing is these days Banks will not let you cash out with out of an investment home without leaving at least 25% equity in the home. |

Vulcan: am i reading this right? u've been selling/trying to sell multiple homes?
Yes, but like anything else its not as difficult as it sounds once you are into it and get comfortable with it. I got into it during the lows so it was easier. There are lots of people that keep adding 2 or 3 properties per year with a decent job. I know one guy that's nearly my age but owns 100s of properties. That's definitely tough but doable if you can get banks comfortable in lending to you. http://suneetdiwan.com/ At only eighteen years of age, Suneet Diwan purchased his first apartment building. This purchase put Mr. Diwan one step closer to realizing his lifelong dream of becoming an entrepreneur and real-estate investor. And this was just the beginning. In 2010, Mr. Diwan founded Drexel Investments. The company invests in rental properties throughout the Pacific Northwest and Alaska. Mr. Diwan currently owns and manages several hundred properties including hotels, office parks, apartment buildings, undeveloped land, and single-family homes. |

Rents are dropping significantly across the Seattle area for the first time this decade, as a flood of new construction has left apartments sitting empty in Seattle's hottest neighborhoods. The average rent across King and Snohomish counties dipped 2.9 percent in December compared with the prior quarter, according to a new quarterly landlord survey by Apartment Insights/RealData. Rents sometimes drop by a few bucks this time of year. But the latest quarterly drop is the biggest this decade by far, and amounted to a savings of about $50 a month for the average renter across the region. Developers and banks that lend money for new construction have taken notice of the market cooling. While tons of new buildings are already approved or under construction now, the pipeline for future projects that exist only on paper is shrinking. Greg Smith, CEO of developer Urban Visions, said he just turned down an offer to build a new high-rise because construction costs have risen so much and rents are no longer keeping pace. "New projects don't make sense — they don't pencil" out, Smith said. "Most banks are aware of that now and are very, very cautious about the amount of debt they'll put on a property. There's definitely a change that has occurred. Some fellow developers are stepping back and saying, 'I'm not developing now.' " Katie Zacharkiw said she just signed a new lease Wednesday, and got the first apartment she looked at. "I ended up at a one-bedroom in Wallingford for $1,400 month, which I'm still a bit shocked about," she said, noting she expected to pay $1,500. Seattle remains among the most expensive places in the country to rent. The average rent across all unit types is $2,330 in downtown Seattle, $2,180 in West Bellevue, $2,120 in South Lake Union and $2,050 in Belltown, according to Apartment Insights/RealData. |

Very interesting trend...rents going down as a lot supply has come in. Home prices leads the nation for 17th month in a row. It will be interesting to see how long this divergence can sustain...eventually both are tied to each other. https://www.geekwire.com/2018/seattle-home-price-gains-lead- nation-17th-month-row/ Data released by the Northwest Multiple Listing Service earlier this month shows the median price for a home in Seattle jumped to $777,000 in February, up $20,000 from a record set in January. Across Lake Washington on the Eastside, the median price is inching closer to $1 million, with prices now at $950,000. Seattle’s annual price gains more than double the national average of 6.2 percent. High demand and low inventory are responsible for home price hikes across the country, Case-Shiller says. |
