How To Generate Thousands Of Dollars Per Year Investing In Mobile Homes

By: Kris Koonar

All of us, once in a while, tend to get stuck with a raw deal in real estate investments. While most of us merely have theories and philosophies of real estate investment, only a few have a logical understanding and experience of profitable real estate investment ideas.

Investing in Mobile Homes is a Great option because not only is it economical, but it also has other advantages.

A Fixer-Upper Mobile Home is an Economical Investment Option

You can live in a fixer-upper and repair it at the same time. An additional advantage of investing in a mobile home is that you do not need to pay real estate taxes, as you would for a fixed real estate property. Apart from insurance, you would not be burdened with any other major payments.

In order to give the mobile home the feel of a real home, you could spend a little on designing the interiors to suit your lifestyle. Even if you decide to be a little extravagant in furnishing your mobile home, the cost of refurbishing will still be a lot more manageable and viable than fixing up a fixed real estate property.

After a year or two, when you have saved all the money by not paying the taxes and interest that you would have for a fixed real estate property, you can re-invest it in another fixer-upper mobile home. Then rent the previous mobile home while you stay in the second fixer-upper.

Charge separately for the utilities and the lot rent if you want to generate more cash flow. This way you can earn a good return on your investment within the very first year of buying the second mobile home. You could use the rental income from the first mobile home to repair the second one, while you stay in it at the same time. If you keep repeating the process this way, you would end up generating a handsome amount of liquid cash.

In this manner, you would even get an insight and experience of real estate investments, although on a smaller scale. This repetitive process of buying and repairing a fixer-upper, and then renting it out, can prove to be very beneficial.

While you double the cash flow by carrying out a similar deal over and over, you are also earning a generous rental income by investing a meager amount of money. And if things don’t work out according to your expectations, you always have the option of selling the mobile homes.

If you wish to own a real estate property of your own, but do not have sufficient capital, then investing in a mobile home is the perfect solution for you.

Trusts Are The Key To Protecting And Keeping Your Assets

By : Richard Reichmann

Trusts have been used for hundreds of years for tax savings and estate planning, but few people realize the enormous potential for using trusts for privacy.

In this information age where records of your assets can be accessed via computer, fax and even telephone, you have to take active steps to protect your privacy.

A trust is a private contractual arrangement between several parties for holding, managing and investing assets. The parties to the trust are the grantor (the person creating the trust, also known as the “settlor” or “trustor”), the trustee (the person or entity holding title to the assets) and the beneficiaries (for whose benefit the trust is established). A trust created for one’s benefit is called a “self-settled” trust, i.e., one in which the creator and beneficiary are the same person.

A trust created during the life of the grantor is called an “intervivos” or “living” trust. An intervivos trust can be either revocable (taken back or modified by the grantor) or irrevocable (once created cannot be revoked).

A “living trust,” while technically any trust created during the life of the grantor is a buzzword in the estate planning industry used to describe a revocable, intervivos trust.

The typical living trust is created by an individual for his own benefit. He also names himself as trustee, i.e., “The John Doe Family Living Trust.” Upon his death, a successor trustee is named to hold and manage the trust property (typically his spouse, sibling or a bank trust department).

Although he is the beneficiary during his life, the trust will name his family as alternate beneficiary upon his death (known as a “testamentary disposition”).

One of the main reasons why living trusts are used is to avoid probate. Upon your demise, the assets remaining in your estate are distributed according to the instructions of a Will, or, if there is no Will, according to the rules set forth by state law.

The Probate court is involved throughout the process, adding time, cost and aggravation. The Will is now public record, for all the world to see. If you own assets in multiple states, an “ancillary” proceeding must be commenced in each state.

If most of your assets are owned in trust, these assets are not subject to probate, nor are they on display for the world to see.

The trustee, according to the instructions of the trust agreement, either distributes the assets outright to your heirs (the alternate beneficiaries), or holds them in trust until they reach a certain age. Your trust can hold assets (such as real estate) in multiple states without the need for ancillary probate.

You wouldn’t walk around with a financial statement taped to your forehead would you? So why would you have your most valuable assets exposed to public scrutiny? Owning real estate in your own name is like walking around with a giant kick me sign taped to your back.

In every county in the United States, copies of deeds to real estate are recorded in the public records. Anyone can go down to the courthouse or recorder’s office and look up the owner of any property in the county.

A land trust, a modified form of living trust, will hide your name from the public records. The land trust (also known as an Illinois Land Trust, “Title Holding Trust” and “Nominee Trust”) differs slightly from a regular living trust in that the trustee is a mere nominee. The beneficiaries have the right to direct the trustee as to the acquisition, management and disposition of trust property.

The main purpose for using land trusts is privacy of ownership. No one will know who owns the property but you, your attorney and the trustee.

If the trustee resides in a different state than the property is located, it will be difficult, if not impossible, for anyone to discover the proverbial “man behind the curtain.” If a judgment is entered against you, the lien will not automatically attach to the property, since the title is not in your name.

A personal property trust, like a land trust, is a simple, revocable trust used to hold title to assets. Cars, boats, bank accounts, leases, mortgages, mobile homes, corporate stock - you name it - it can all be held in the name of a nominee.

Anything that can be found on public record is a dead giveaway to potential creditors, contingency-fee attorneys and deadbeat litigants looking to steal your hard-earned fortune. Using a nominee trust to hold title to assets will help keep your financial matters private and discreet in the information age.

A trust, unlike a corporation, is not registered with the state. There are no public records of officers, directors and shareholders.

There are no minutes of directors’ and shareholders’ meetings. The trustee keeps control of the trust records and the identity of the beneficiaries in his file cabinet. A trustee will not reveal this information without a court order.

Revocable, living trusts are “tax neutral,” that is, there is no tax consequence of transferring property into trust. According to sections 671- 678 of the Internal Revenue Code, the property is treated as still being owned by the grantor (the logic is that since the grantor can still revoke the trust, it still belongs to him for tax purposes).

For example, if you owned you rental property in your name and reported on schedule “E” of your federal income tax return, a transfer into a revocable, living trust of which you are the beneficiary would not change your reporting.

Compare this to transferring property into a corporation, which is a separate taxpayer, even if your own all of the stock of the corporation.

As you can see, trusts are simple, yet effective devices for holding title to assets and preserving your privacy.

When Doing Your Own Rental or Lease Agreement Don’t Miss The Details

By: Arnold Hernandez

When renting or leasing rental property you should take into consideration many different factors.

First think about everything that is important to you. You should address everything that is important to you to the smallest of details. For example:

• Do you care if the tenant smokes ?
• Do you care if they play loud music at 2 a.m. ?
• Do mind if they use your apartment for prostitution business?
• What if they use your property to grow marijuana plants ?
• Or perhaps they store used motor parts that leak oil and other fluids.

These are big issues for most people, but there are also little ones that may be important to you.

There are also issues which you might not consider, because you think everyone uses common sense. Usually people use common sense, but even those that appear the be normal can have their moments of insanity.

For example a husband and wife team rented an office space that they accidently set on fire after attempting to cook some fish on a BBQ grill. People do not always use common sense, there have been incidents of people dying after using a mixture of ammonia, bleach and other chemicals to clean the bathrooms. I know of one incident where a woman passed out after mixing household chemicals. She was hospitalized and then upon release she went to finish the job and died.

Regardless of whether the property is residential or commercial property the same is true for each when addressing your concerns. The laws differ between commercial and residential property and even within each of these categories there are subcategories. The laws for example may differ between an apartment, a house, a condo, a mobile home, and a boat home. Despite these differences, you can still account for things that are important to you and add them to your lease or rental agreement.

Some people attempt to save money by using pre-printed forms and then add their provisions, or prepare their own lease or rental agreement completely from scratch, but you should consider using an attorney especially if there is a substantial amount of money involved. If you do the lease agreement yourself be sure you say it correctly and avoid any ambiguity.

If there is a chance for a different interpretation than your own, you may have trouble down the road. Write the provisions down and then review it a few days later to be sure they still make sense to you. I have received many phone calls from people in trouble after the fact. The best thing is to do it right the first time, so speak to an attorney first.

If there is a problem during the tenancy, be sure to address it quickly. If you need to evict someone for non payment of rent, do it quickly. Give the three day notice to quit or pay or whatever is required in your particular state. Make sure you dot the i-s and cross the T-s and date and sign every document you prepare correctly.

Unlawful detainers are very detail sensitive and you may have to start from scratch if you make an error.

This could result in an additional moth of lost rental income. If you are dependant on the rental income to make your mortgage payments, you cannot afford to make any errors, so once again hire an attorney, spend the money now, in the long run it will be cheaper.

You should not try and save money by doing everything yourself, unless you are willing to take a loss of several months. Also do not try and save money by hiring a paralegal or someone that prepares documents, they tend to make errors. I have had at least one case where it was started by paralegal, but the mistakes cost the client almost two moths rental income.

For a sample lease agreement visit my website and look at the additional consideration section where I added all the things that where of concern to me.

Bridging the Financial Gap With Homeowner Loans
by James Copper

One of the smallest, quickest and shortest terms of homeowner loans is referred to as a bridge loan. Compared with other homeowner loans such as first and second mortgages, refinances, home equity loans and debt consolidation loans that use the home as collateral, bridge loans are rare.

A bridge homeowner loan is short term and designed for the purpose of helping a homeowner bridge a cash crunch gap. Hence the name bridge loan. The most common for of bridge homeowner loans is the situation in which someone has bought a new home but has yet to sell their current home. The most common reason for this double ownership is a geographic relocation for a job.

Some homeowners will rent an apartment, condo, townhouse, mobile home or single family home for a short term while waiting for their home to sell. Others, however, see that for convenience, monetary advantage or things like not uprooting their children once again with a third move to a new school, they would prefer the bridge homeowner loans.

Short term rentals can be more costly than the interest paid on the short term bridge homeowner loans.

There is a wide variation on the rates and terms of bridge loans, however, and the origination fees can be quite high. Most bridge loans are written for six months and the collateral used for these homeowner loans is the home that the borrower is attempting to sell.

The problem with these bridge loans, besides the potential high cost, is that homes don’t always sell in six months, and markets and market values can change. Consider, for example, the difference between the market value of a home in the once thriving mining area of Allentown PA where jobs were plentiful and homes in demand.

That same property today may well be worth one tenth of what is was about 40 or 50 years ago. This kind of thing can happen overnight as plants close and industries struggle to survive.

Who would have thought, for example, that there would come a time that 20,000 IBM employees would vacate the Triple Cities (Binghamton, Endicott and Johnson City) area of upstate New York with the close of that original plant, or that Knight Ridder Newspapers would cease to exist?

Before you consider homeowner bridge loans, look elsewhere for funding.

Your best financial bet is, of course, to avoid the two-home ownership situation in the first place. If you cant stay in your current home until it sells, sell other assets such as your boat, your second or third car, or borrow against your 401(k).

You might even consider a temporarily lengthy commute or leave your family in your current home, take an inexpensive rental in your new location and fly or drive home alternate weekends.

There are plenty of homeowner loans that are smart, that are good buys, and that will save you considerable money and may actually make you some money. Debt consolidation loans are an example of the latter. Bridge loans, however, are seldom the best financial deal you can find, and are often one of the worst.

What Your Real Estate Agent Knows That You Don’t
By: Eric Bramlett

When you make the decision to sell your home, you are under no obligation to hire a real estate agent or broker to help you with the sale.

Nonetheless, most people prefer to hire a real estate agent in order to better protect themselves and in order to put themselves in a better position to successfully sell the home in a short amount of time.

When you hire a Realtor, you gain access to a wealth of knowledge that will help keep you out of trouble and will help provide for a smooth transaction. Here are just a few things that your real estate agent knows that you probably do not.

The Federal Fair Housing Act

According to the Federal Fair Housing Act, you cannot discriminate against someone when selling a home. The act defines seven different classes that are protected against discrimination, these include:

• Race
• Color
• National origin
• Sex
• Religion
• Handicap
• Familial status

If you do not enlist in the help of a real estate agent, you put yourself at risk of violating this act if you refuse to sell your home to an interested buyer. In addition, you might even accidentally violate these laws without realizing it.

For example, there are certain words that cannot be included in your advertisements for your home because they are in violation of the Fair Housing Laws. Some of these words include:

• Bachelor apartment
• Children welcome
• Couples
• Gentleman’s Farm
• Golden Agers
• Handicapped
• Integrated
• Married
• Mature
• Mother-in-Law quarters
• Professional
• Seniors
• Singles only
• Sports-minded

As you can see, some of these terms seem perfectly innocent. Therefore, it is a good idea to get the help of a real estate agent so you can tap into his or her knowledge and experience in order to stay out of trouble.

State Real Estate Laws

Although there are similarities in real estate laws from one state to the next, each state has its own set of rules that must be followed. If you do not understand these laws or are unaware of these laws, you can inadvertently break the law when selling your home.

In addition, by not being fully aware of your seller’s rights, you might actually lose out on money during the transaction.

Taking Advantage of Connections

Aside from legal matters, a real estate agent simply has a vast number of connections that makes it possible to sell a home more quickly and for a higher asking price.

Similarly, since people come to real estate agents when searching for homes, you are able to tap into a much larger market of interested buyers when you get the help of a real estate agent.

Since a Realtor has experience with selling homes, he or she can also provide you with tips to help increase the market value of your home and to make the process go by more quickly.

For example, small things such as painting a room a different color can go a long way when it comes to increasing the appeal of the home. By taking advantage of the realtor’s expertise, you just might have a much more profitable selling experience.

Mortgage Glossary of Terms
By: Darren Yates

Adverse Credit
The term used if the borrower has a poor credit history. This could include previous mortgage or loan arrears, bankruptcy or CCJ’s. Other terms used to describe an adverse credit mortgage include:

• Bad credit mortgage
• Poor credit mortgage
• Non status mortgage
• Credit impaired mortgage
• No credit mortgage
• Low credit score mortgage

APR (Annual Percentage Rate)
The interest rate reflecting the cost of a mortgage as a yearly rate. The APR provides home buyers with the ability to compare different types of mortgages based on the annual cost of each.

Arrangement Fee
The fee you pay your Lender in return for them providing you with a mortgage. Usually paid on completion or with your application, these fees usually apply when you take out a fixed rate, discount or cashback mortgage.

AST (Assured Shorthold Tenancy)
A form of tenancy that gives the landlord the right to repossess their property after a set amount of time laid out in the tenancy agreement. New tenancies are automatically ASTs unless otherwise stated.

Assured tenancy
The landlord can charge a market rent (the current rate for similar property in that area) and take back the property under certain conditions, as set out in the Housing Acts of 1988 and 1996.

Bridging Loan/Finance
Short term loan to enable the purchase of one property before the sale of another, essentially releasing funds that are required for the purchase. You should always consult a professional before considering any bridging finance, as it could be a solution that is worse than the problem.

Brokers Fee
A fee charged by an intermediary or advisor for locating the most appropriate mortgage for the borrower.

Buildings insurance
Insurance you can take out when you buy a property that will cover the cost of any damage to the house and or contents.

Buy to Let
A mortgage meant for those who wish to purchase a property to rent out to others. The decision on whether you are able to repay this type of mortgage is often based up on the future rental income from the property, rather than the personal income of you the borrower.

CCJ (County Court Judgment)
A judgement reached in the County Court generally realted to non payment of a loan, mortgage etc., debt in general. If you pay off the debt, the CCJ will be satisfied and a note is put on your records that states this.

Chain
A housing ‘chain’ made up of a number of buyers and sellers, essentially the line of buyers and sellers involved in each house move.

Charge
Any right or interest, especially with a mortgage, to which a freehold or leasehold property may be held. Basically a charge is the claim the lender has on the property until the mortgage or loan is satisfied.

Completion
The term used when the seller and buyer exchange the finances required to buy a property through their respective solicitors. At exchange of contracts a deposit, usually 10%, will have been paid. At this point the buyer becomes legal owner of the property.

Conveyance
The legal process in which ownership of the property is transferred from the seller to the buyer. Generally undertaken by a solicitor, or licensed conveyancer.

Early redemption fee
If you decide that you want to sell your property or remortgage then you will be redeeming your mortgage early. Most lenders charge a penalty fee, especially during any period of a fixed, capped or discounted rate. Be sure you are clear about any potential penalties when you are about to take on a mortgage.

Equity and negative equity
The amount of value in a property that isn’t covered by a mortgage - simply take the amount of the mortgage from the valuation to work out the equity. This is where the money you owe on the mortgage is greater than the value of your property.

Exchange of contracts
The contract is a written agreement that lays out the terms between the buyer and the seller. When both parties exchange contracts, usually weeks before completion, the deal becomes legally binding. Often a deposit of around 10%, is paid at this stage.

Fixed Rate
A set interest rate on a mortgage fixed for a period of time. This varies from lender to lender.

Freehold
If you are the property owner outright, then your property is freehold. Most houses are freehold, where as many flats are leasehold, since you are not the owner of the whole building containing the flats.

Gazumping
If you are in the process of purchasing a property and your offer has been accepted, but the seller gets a better offer, before you complete, and takes it, then you’ve just been ‘Gazumped’.

Interest Only Mortgage
A mortgage whereby the borrower is only required to pay inerest on the amount borrowed during the mortgage term. It is the borrowers responsibility to ensure that enough funds will exist (either through an investment policy or other means) to repay the full mortgage at the end of the term.

Intermediary
A mortgage broker or advisor who finds the most suitable mortgage for a borrower and arranges the mortgage on their behalf.

Leasehold
If you buy a leasehold property you don’t own the property, rather the right to live there for a specified period of time, however much time remains on the lease. The owner of the property is called the freeholder or landlord.

Liability
This relates more to commercial mortgages. With a commercial mortgage liability for the repayment of the loan depends on the legal structure of the business:

• A sole trader will be personally liable for the mortgage debt. Personal assets could be seized if the business defaults.
• Partners are jointly liable for the debts of the partnership and their personal assets are at risk.
• With a Limited-Liability Partnership and a Limited company, the liability falls firstly on the business rather than on the individual partners and directors. The lender may take a floating charge on business assets in general, rather than simply on the current property being purchased.
• The lender may also insist on personal guarantees as a condition of granting the loan, in which case the partners and directors may be held personally liable anyway.

Life insurance
If you have a joint mortgage, life insurance can be acquired that will see the mortgage paid of should one of you pass on.

LTV (Loan to Value)
The size of the mortgage as a percentage of the value of the property i.e. A £90k mortgage on a house valued at £100k would mean an LTV of 90%.

MIG (Mortgage Indemnity Guarantee)
A one off payment, made when you set up a mortgage, it is a kind of insurance policy for the lender. This offers them protection against the value of the home falling to less than the mortgage. It is generally only charged to borrowers with a less than 10% deposit, but this can vary.

Mortgage
A loan to buy a property where the property is used as security against you paying back the loan.

Mortgagee
The company or organisation that lends you the money.

Mortgagor
The person taking out the mortgage.

Non-Status
Where a lender may not require income details from you, or may accept some previous poor credit history, i.e. CCJ’s or previous mortgage arrears.

Payment Holiday
A period during which the borrower makes no mortgage payments.

Regulated Tenancy
A legal right to live in your accommodation for a period of time. Your tenancy might be for a set period such as a year (this is known as a fixed term tenancy) or it might roll on a week-to-week or month-to-month basis (this is known as a periodic tenancy).You are a regulated tenant if you moved in before 15 January 1989, you pay rent to a private landlord and your landlord does not live in the same building as you.

Remortgage
The taking on of a second mortgage to pay off the first. The most common reasons for doing this are that another mortgage is available at a better rate or that the value of the property has gone up allowing for the opportunity to borrow more money against the property.

Right to Buy
For example, a tenant in a council owned property may purchase the property at a discount depending on length of their tenancy.

Self Certified
Generally when a borrower applies for a mortgage he or she will be asked to provide pay slips or company accounts to prove their income. If it is difficult or inconvenient for you to provide this evidence, you can choose to self-certify your income. This involves signing a declaration which states your income sources and amounts. Lenders will charge you higher rates than average and offer you a limited range of mortgages if you choose to self-certify your income, in general it’s not a good idea to self-certify, just to avoid some paperwork.

Stamp Duty
Tax paid by the buyer of a property set at 1% for properties over £60k, 3% for properties over £250k and 4% for properties over £500k.

Structural survey
The most wide ranging check of the structure of a property. This is carried out by professional surveyor and should uncover any defects or faults with the building.

Tenancy
A legal written agreement between a landlord and tenant that sets out the terms of the rental.

Term
The period of years over which you take the mortgage and repay it.

Term Assurance
An insurance policy designed to repay the mortgage on the death of the insured person. Level Term Assurance covers a principal sum throughout the policy term and pays out the full amount on death. Reducing Term Assurance is designed to repay the balance outstanding on a repayment type mortgage upon death. Term Assurance may also pay out early on the diagnosis of a terminal illness.

Underwriting
The process of evaluating a loan application to determine the risk involved for the lender. This involves an analysis of the borrower’s creditworthiness and the quality of the property itself.

Unencumbered
Where the property is owned outright and no mortgages or loans are secured against it.

Valuation
A simple check of the property in order to find out how much it is worth and whether it is suitable to secure a mortgage against.

Valuation Fee
The fee paid by a borrower to cover the cost of the lender checking that the property is suitable security for the mortgage.

Variable Rate
A type of interest rate the lender can charge. It goes up and down and your repayments change accordingly.

Vendor
The person selling the property.

Mobile homes and off gassing

Mobile homes are often considered an economically effective housing solution. What is often not considered is the tremendous amount of off gassing from the mobile home itself and from products used in mobile homes that can send harmful chemicals into the air.

This becomes an unhealthy situation quickly because of the initially tight seals, and lack of ventilation. Here are ways to reduce the chemicals that mobile homes off gas; and reducing these chemicals will help you and your family stay healthy.

Ways to reduce the chemicals that mobile homes off gas

• Avoid Carpeting If Possible - New carpet is infamous for the “new carpet smell”. That smell is often the off gassing of harmful chemicals such as formaldehyde. Without proper ventilation, you and your family are subject to formaldehyde vapors which can cause your eyes and nose to burn, sore throat, headache, dizziness, and nausea, and frequent exposure to higher than normal levels of formaldehyde has been proven to cause serious long-term health issues.
• Older carpet - is a haven for numerous pollutants such as dust mites, pet dander, and small particles of dirt and/or sand, all of which are difficult to remove with a regular vacuum, and go airborne with normal daily activity. These microscopic pollutants can greatly aggravate existing problems such as allergy and asthma, and can cause symptoms that just make you miserable such as sneezing, watery eyes, and congestion not unlike that of a cold.
• Ventilate - Use a fan to move the air through your home, and if weather permits, open windows to help exhaust fumes from your home. It is important to change the air rather than to just re-circulate it.
• Keep Temperature and Humidity Stable - Many of the offending chemicals such as formaldehyde are affected by increases in humidity and temperature. Keeping both humidity and temperature low will decrease the amount of formaldehyde that will off gas into your air.
• Allow Products to Off Gas Elsewhere - If you are planning to purchase products such as new carpet or that are known to contain solvents, adhesives, exposed particleboard, ask that they be opened and allowed to sit in the warehouse to off gas before they are brought to your home.
• Use an Air Purifier to Remove Chemicals - All homes continue to settle after they are built. When mobile homes settle the seals loosen and chemicals and materials that have been previously sealed are now unsealed and can evaporate into the air. Using an air purifier that is specifically designed to remove airborne chemicals such as formaldehyde will help insure that the indoor air you and your family breathe is the healthiest it can possibly be.
