5 Things Every Real Estate Investor Needs to Know!

Every real estate investor is an idealist in the beginning. While the prospect of large profits and huge income streams is always appealing, possessing a working knowledge of what you are getting yourself into is essential to success. Even if you are a seasoned real estate investor it is unrealistic to assume you know everything. Due diligence and continuing education are critical to making money as a real estate investor. Here are five basics that every new investor should consider:

1. 9 to 5 Does not apply: Investing in real estate requires putting in the time. You may need to knock on doors, attend after hours networking meetings and do some reading to educate yourself. You will need to call, email, direct mail, network, follow leads and be ready to act when an opportunity presents itself. It will require consistent effort to be successful. Often, deals will go to whoever is willing to outwork everyone else. You should expect to work nights and weekends just to keep up with your competition. As simple as being an investor is at times, it takes persistence and hard work to be successful.
2. Wrap Your Head Around the Process: No one can be an expert in every area of real estate investing, but you must possess an understanding of the process. While an understanding of the process is crucial for the offer and purchase, it is equally important for what your plans are after the deal is done. If you are looking to flip a property, you will need a thorough inspection to know what the rehab costs will be, have a reliable contractor, correctly assess resale value etc. If you want to add rental properties to your portfolio you will need to know what’s happening in the current rental market, what is required as a landlord and what the current tenant, landlord laws are in your area. It may save you money in the long run to hire industry professionals such as a real estate agent or real estate manager to assist you. The better you understand the process, the better investor you will be.
3. Find Your Comfort Zone: While large income streams and huge profits are entirely possible, it takes time to learn the industry. Finding traction may mean taking smaller deals at the start. Working on smaller deals may lower your risk while giving you an opportunity to learn the business and still make a profit. In most cases, you will not be able to retire off the income from your first investment. You may need to temper your expectations at the beginning. Making less money to get a deal done is not a bad thing when you are just starting out. Focusing on smaller deals inside a geographic area you’re comfortable with is one of the easiest ways to get your feet wet and learn the business.
4. Only Take on What You Can Handle: It may not be realistic to go from zero to hero overnight. Even seasoned real estate professionals find handling multiple projects a challenge. Growing too fast can be as detrimental to your business as not growing at all. Taking on a deal that you aren’t prepared for increases risk and could potentially cost you money. There is a big difference between following leads and closing deals. It can take months or even years to get the hang of real estate investing. In growing too quickly, you can damage your business in a way that may be difficult to recover from especially if you do not have large cash reserves. If the speed of your growth exceeds your ability to perform due diligence or effectively assess the risk of potential investments, you’re growing too fast.
5. Be a realist: If you have been bitten by the real estate bug you will always be on the lookout for more deals. Successful investors make decisions based on the facts and strive to not allow their emotions to get in the way. This requires a system to provide you with an accurate picture of the costs, risks and financial benefits of a property before you close. Manipulating the data to convince yourself that a property can make money when it can’t won’t be a good business practice. Enough negative cash flow will eventually destroy your business. True numbers do not lie. A cash flow analysis will be a great help in determining the potential profitability of a prospective property. Once you own the property you will need to have a system to evaluate key metrics to ensure sustainable property performance.

In my 18 years as a property manager, I’ve seen these concepts, as simple as they may be, make or break many neophyte real estate investors. Though this list is far from exhaustive it may provide the new investor with some “food for thought” and a starting place for further discovery.

At Kinetic, we are always looking to improve and welcome your suggestions. Please give us a call if you’re looking for a property to own or rent or if you need a management company with your best interest in mind.

Can You Feel the Brrrrr?

You’re a rugged sort, living here where you do. And when you start to feel the cold coming you’re all ready with your sweaters and mufflers, hats and gloves, your boots and maybe even hand warmers for your pockets. But what about your home or business? As a very friendly property management company we’re going to give you some tips for getting through to Spring as cozily and safely as possible.


You don’t want your pipes to freeze and here are some easy ways to eliminate the chance of that:

• If you’re planning on being out, keep the heat at no less than 55 degrees Fahrenheit. 
• Open up doors and cabinets such as under sinks and closets where pipes are located. Keep doors at least slightly ajar between unheated and heated rooms. 
• In severe cold snaps, if you have sinks in low-use work areas that could potentially freeze, turn the water on just slightly to have it run into the sink and keep a slight flow of water moving through it. 
• If you are an owner, you want to be sure that all pipes are insulated in the areas of your building that might drop below freezing; think basements, attics, crawl spaces or storage spaces. If you are renting, be in touch with your manager or rental agency to make sure that this has been taken care of. It’s a good idea to check before the cold is really here. Schedule an appointment to have everything looked at before you need it. 
• Ownership is true in this situation also: seal up any openings in your property that could be allowing cold air inside, paying close attention to open areas around pipes, vents, and electrical wiring. If you’re a renter, do as above and check with the people/company who can help.

If the temperature has gone below freezing overnight and pipes have frozen or cracked – which can happen with unprotected pipes - here are a few steps to take immediately:

• Call your management company without delay.
• Bundle up and turn off the water flow to the property to prevent more damage. 
• Locate all of the cracks before pipes thaw and make note of their location. If you are an owner, consult a plumbing professional to address any cracked pipe issues before thawing and to prevent additional water damage. 
• In the event of no cracks, you may proceed with attempting to thaw the pipes with a hair dryer and/or allow them to thaw on their own. Never attempt to thaw a frozen pipe with a blowtorch or any type of open flame, as this could ignite a fire, jeopardize safety and cause even more damage to your property. 
• Keep the faucet open when thawing frozen pipes to allow water to begin flowing through it.

Beyond damage to your property, you have to watch out for yourself, too. And you don’t want yourself or anyone else getting hurt in a parking lot or walkway. Slips and falls are the second-leading cause of unintentional deaths, according to the National Safety Council. Here are tips for walking safely in the winter weather from the University of Utah and Iowa State University:

• Give yourself plenty of time to get to your destination to avoid carelessness. 
• Wear shoes and boots with good traction. 
• Walk at a slower pace. 
• Stay on designated walkways. 
• Use the handrail when using stairs and entering and exiting buildings. 
• Put your gloves on and keep your hands out of your pockets while walking — that decreases your center of gravity and balance. 

And if you need a visual, think about walking like a penguin when you’re on the ice. The waddle we all love to see keeps your center of gravity over your front leg and will help keep you upright. Spread your feet out slightly, to increase your center of gravity, and take small steps.

At Kinetic, we are always looking to improve and welcome your suggestions. Please give us a call if you’re looking for a property to own or rent or if you need a wonderful management company. We’d be delighted to work with you. Now make sure you have some hot chocolate at hand.

It’s getting HOT Out There!

If you’re in the market for a commercial space to rent, or if you’ve been thinking about it and trying to budget for it, you’re probably aware that 2016 has been a big year. Fasten your seat belts, because 2017 is going to be even bigger. Local experts agree that the New Year is going to be HOT for properties. Colliers forecasts increases in quoted rental rates in the near term, and others predict that as tech companies continue to move into the area space will become more limited.

The good news is that this means more people are working and that the economy is humming along. The bad news could be that the longer you wait to secure an office and a lease, the more you will be paying for it. It never fails. Supply and demand.   

 

We’d like to help you find the perfect property for your business. Whether you work alone or with someone else, or even if you work with a horde, we’ll do our very best to find the spot for you. We represent many options. You can be at ground level showing off your wares, or higher up and enjoying the view. You can run your restaurant or your hair salon. The business is your business. Finding the space for you is ours.

Once you become a tenant, you can schedule your rent payments online knowing that your information is secure and protected. You can also sign up for automatic reminders. You can fill out a maintenance request form online, as well. We also have an emergency phone number that you can call, should you need to. No one likes an emergency, but we’ll be there for you! To see all of the reasons and the convenience involved in renting from us, please check out our Tenants Page. Not to mention how diverse and terrific our properties are!

We’re professional and friendly, and we promise to treat you with all of the courtesies that you deserve. The same way you treat your own clients. We work hard to make renting a positive experience for all parties. Should any differences come up where an owner is concerned, we will smooth the way for everyone. We promise.

At Kinetic, we are always looking to improve and welcome your suggestions. Just give us a call and let’s find your space!

Growth is something that HSH Property Management is no stranger to.  Since we began in September of 2013, we have grown from 2 employees to 20 employees.  In terms of how many units we manage, we have grown over 300%!  The thing that we value most and the reason why we believe we will be successful is that we offer a personal touch to all of our employees, owners, tenants and vendors alike.  We know that people make the world go around and the relationships we make are valuable to us.

I’d like to tell you about our employees, and why they are so important to us.  Our employees are our first customers.  If we treat them well, then they will treat people that we work with well.  HSH is committed to providing a non-threatening work environment in which people can be taught, nurtured, encouraged and protected while helping them to realize their full potential...whether they continue with HSH or not.  We believe in educating our staff so that they can offer the best possible service to our clients.   We believe in teamwork, and everyone in this company has a voice.  All employees have the same opportunity to achieve their goals and to advance in this company.

In the following weeks, I’ll introduce you to our staff, and I’ll begin with my story with HSH Property Management.

I began working for HSH Property Management when there were just two original employees.  I was hired to help out around the office for just 10 hours a week. In fact, I was hired to work from home getting our website set up, filing, and just some general office organization.  Within 6 months, I was working full time in the office, and had learned just about everything there was to learn in order to manage the properties that we had.  Coming from a varied office management background, I didn’t have specific property management experience, so the company paid for me to take a course on property management and to get my property management license.  Now, I am just a few hours away from obtaining my license.  Never have I worked for a company in which the owners cared so much about the people that work for them.  I feel blessed to be a part of a company where I truly have a voice.  Now I am the Vice President and I am responsible for our staff of 20 people, and I feel personally responsible for their well-being.  I strive to make sure that all of our staff knows that they have every opportunity to grow with this company and that they have a voice.  I am so grateful to work for a company where people, good values, and a drive to succeed are all equally important to the owners. 

In January, we hired another person to come in and help around the office for about 10 hours a week (what I started at just 1 year earlier), and now that person is full time and we have hired another person to come in for 15 hours a week.  It is amazing to watch this company grow and to thrive!  Sure we have had some growing pains, but the key that we focus on is that you can’t have growth without pain.  The important thing is that we learn from the pain and use that learning to make our company stronger.

-Shauna Carter

Fire Safety – Renters Insurance

I am a professional property manager, AND I am a renter.  As a professional property manager, I would suggest getting renter’s insurance because one of my big concerns is to protect the owner’s investment in the property.  As a renter who just had a recent renter’s insurance claim for a kitchen fire, I am here to tell you that the small monthly fee that you pay for renter’s insurance is well worth your money!

Here’s a little insight into how renters insurance can save you money:  I had a minor kitchen fire in my apartment and nothing besides the pan actually caught on fire.  That pan that burned up caused smoke damage with expenses totaling about $8000!  Not only did renters insurance help me to clean my entire apartment including all of my clothing, but it also gave me peace of mind.  Because I had insurance the owners didn’t have to worry about filing a claim on their end, therefore it didn’t affect their insurance.  I am a firm believer in renters insurance and I suggest that everyone be protected.  You will thank yourself when you need it!

Here are some helpful tips for residents from Tualatin Valley Fire & Rescue for protecting yourself with Kitchen Fires.

- Keep your stovetop clear and clean
- Never leave your cooking unattended
- Protect your valuables with renters insurance

For more information about fire safety, visit www.tvfr.com.

As a property manager, we suggest that all renters get renters insurance and we are working on a plan to be able to offer insurance to all tenants at time of move in.

- A Clean Rental Home for Peace of Mind -

 “Keeping a clean rental home isn't just for your peace of mind, it can save you money when you move out… Check out these tips regarding maintenance that you can do in your apartment.  As your property manager, we don’t expect you to fix holes and repair leaks, but there are some minor maintenance issues that you can take care of that will save you money in the end. And, if you are a resident of the NW, proper ventilation is important for keeping mold at bay. Always run the fan in your bathroom for at least 30 minutes after a shower or bath and open any windows if possible.  In your kitchen, run your stove fan when boiling foods to keep moisture down.”

Most tenants are more than happy to leave maintenance to the landlord. After all, maintenance service is a primary benefit of renting. That said, service calls are intrusive. And in the long run, you'll pay for damage to your unit caused by neglect. Protect your peace of mind and your security deposit by following a few basic apartment maintenance tips.

Keep the Refrigerator Working Efficiently

Dirty coils hold in heat and make your refrigerator's motor work harder to cool the inside compartments. Keep coils clean by removing the cover from below the door and vacuuming out the dust that has accumulated. While you're there, remove the drip pan from underneath the coils. Wash it well, and check the drain for clogs before replacing it. Next, check the freezer. It needs to be defrosted if more than 1/4 inch of ice has accumulated on the walls. Don't chip away at it with a sharp object. Instead, remove the contents to a cooler, place a pan underneath the ice to catch the drips, and either let the ice melt at room temperature or help it along with a blow dryer.

Take Care of the Flooring

Dirt is a floor's worst enemy. When embedded into rugs and carpets, it wears out the fibers. On harder surfaces, like wood, laminate and vinyl, dirt causes scratches. Place mats inside and outside your door to reduce the amount of dirt tracked into your apartment. Vacuum low-traffic carpets at least once a week; vacuum high-traffic areas more frequently. Protect wood, laminate and vinyl floors by sweeping every day and mopping weekly with a product recommended for the floor type. Use the minimum amount of fluid needed to clean wood and laminate, as saturation damages wood's finish and causes laminate to warp.

Keep Heat and A/C Dust Free

Preventive maintenance of the heating and air-conditioning units is all about ensuring proper air flow. Vacuum vents before using the units for the first time each year, and then inspect the vents periodically to make sure new dust hasn't accumulated. Change filters as soon as they become soiled. Finally, keep furniture and window coverings away. In the case of heat vents, this is as much a safety issue as a maintenance one. Don't turn off your heat or A/C when you leave for the day. Instead, turn the heat down or the A/C up just a few degrees. You'll actually save more energy by maintaining a steadier temperature.

Prevent Plumbing Problems

Keep drains flowing freely. Avoid pouring oil, coffee grounds or other solids into the kitchen sink. In the bathroom, remove hair from the sink and tub promptly so they're not washed down the drain. Sink and toilet clogs usually can be unstopped with a plunger. Fill the clogged vessel with water and then push the plunger straight down in a quick, firm motion. You may need to repeat a number of times before the clog is removed.

Know When to Seek Help

Sometimes it's best to leave the work to the pros. Report malfunctioning appliances, water you can't turn off and clogs that don't respond to plunging. Also report broken or missing grout in the bathroom. Grout isn't just cosmetic--it keeps water from seeping into walls and floors.

Communication - Property Managers and Tenants

It occurred to me today that most communications between property managers and tenants tend to be negative in nature, but people tend to respond better to positive encouragement.  As a result of this realization, we are implementing a positive communications campaign.  We all know that prevention is the best method to better health, and prevention can help property managers as well.  By working with tenants before there is a problem, we not only have happier people, but we also avoid costly problems with the buildings.  This prevention can be geared at getting tenants to pay on time, inspecting units regularly, and by getting to know your tenants.  By getting to know your tenants, you gain loyalty, which is a huge part of the puzzle.  If people feel loyal, they will want to work with you as a team rather than feeling like they are on opposite sides.

In order to implement these new ideas, we are beginning to send out positive communications with contests for things like paying rent early, cutest pet, cleanest apartment, etc.  We are also researching ways of increasing our team knowledge, like attending landlord forums and continuous education of staff.  Check out this article for more ideas…
