Should Rental Application Fees be Banned? 

Today we're going to discuss an issue that's happening right here in Grand Rapids, but it affects landlords and rental property owners everywhere.  It has to do with the affordable housing challenge communities are facing as rents rise and neighborhoods gentrify.  As tenants find it increasingly difficult to locate and afford housing, those communities and their elected representatives are pointing the finger of blame at landlords, investors and property management companies, and looking for ways to legislate our behavior in order to solve this problem.

Just this week the Grand Rapids Mayor and City Commission voted to approve a rental application fee ordinance, which will be very consequential to all of us who provide rental housing.  In order to help explain and understand this ordinance, I'm joined by the RPOA's Director, Clay Powell.  Clay has been involved in this issue on the RPOA's behalf since its inception, and is going to break it down for us in order to understand how it will impact the way we screen tenants, collect application fees, and advocate for our rights as rental property owners.

In today's tight real estate market its very difficult for investors and home buyers to find good investment deals.  Believe it or not, there are still plenty of opportunities in Distressed, Foreclosure, and Bank-Owned Properties.  One of the ways to find these deals is through Auction.com.

Today I sit down with Casey O'Neill to discuss the transparency Auction.com is bringing to the distressed market, and the emphasis they place on helping potential investors with due diligence.

Casey also warns of the pitfalls and risks in investing in distressed properties that you may not get to inspect fully before purchasing.  We'll also talk about the bid process as well as the timeline and costs associated with purchasing.  And Casey shares his thoughts on Michigan's Foreclosure laws and how they could be improved.

If you've never used Auction.com, this episode is a great introduction to a potential source of opportunities.  If you've ever bid on Auction.com then you'll definitely find some useful tips on how the system works.

I hope you enjoy this episode and ask that you take a moment to give us a review and rating on itunes.

Tyler Lyons has acquired and rehabbed three houses in the Grand Rapids, Michigan area, and in the process he's added substantial value to each one. Tyler's goal has been to "BRRRR" - Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, and Repeat. But when it came time to put financing on those properties, he wanted to make sure he avoided the pitfalls that led many investors to lose everything during the Great Recession.

How much debt on your rental properties is safe? Should you keep a good amount of equity in your property, or pull out the maximum in order to buy more? What's better, a 15-year mortgage or a 30-year? And are investors making the same mistakes in financing that were being made leading up to the last recession?

These are questions that need to be taken seriously, so who better to help answer them than "Friends of the Show" Justin Workman and Rob Minch. Justin and Rob join Tyler and me in the studio to perform a bit of Real Estate Therapy and Counseling.

Rob calls on his lending background to compare today's loan environment to the one ten years ago. Justin breaks down just how much money Tyler needs to keep in Capital Reserves for his rentals, and what that means to his ROI. And Tyler shares the process he went through in building his portfolio.

This is a great episode that I know you're going to enjoy. And I guarantee that Justin's CapEx breakdown will make you rethink how much money you should be keeping in reserves for your properties.

And if I may ask a favor, please take a moment and go to itunes to give us a rating and review. This will help us increase our listener-ship and continue getting great guests.

When it comes to Finding the Money for your purchase of a home or investment property, Seller Financing can help you avoid traditional lenders while setting terms that work for both the buyer and seller.

But with the passage of the Dodd-Frank Consumer Protection Act, a lot of investors are unsure whether Seller Financing is still a viable strategy.

Luckily, the RPOA held, and recorded, an expert panel at it's annual conference where we discussed how Seller Financing works, the legalities to be aware of, and how to do it right.  Here are the experts you will hear from:

Raising Other People's Money to invest in real estate is a time honored tradition.  But did you know that once you have more than two investors in an investment that you technically have a syndication?  Are you also aware that the Security and Exchange Commission (The "SEC") has rules regulating how you go about raising that money and the types of investors you can allow in your deals, and that if you don't follow those rules you can get into serious trouble?

Now that I've made syndications sound scary, its a good time to make them more understandable and accessible with Amy Wan, the Founder & CEO of Bootstrap Legal.  Amy is an attorney who specializes in real estate syndication and crowdfunding for entrepreneurs and real estate investors across the globe.  Her mission is to democratize access to legal counsel and capital.

Amy will help us understand what we can, and can't, say to investors, the types of investors we can allow in our deal (accredited or sophisticated), SEC rules regarding Regulation D and exceptions 506B & 506C, the types of documents needed for syndicators, and how to avoid getting into trouble with the SEC.

We'll also discuss the pro's & con's of Regulation Crowdfunding and the ways it has changed raising money.

If you've ever considered using Other People's Money to accelerate your investment strategy, or you're already using OPM, you'll definitely want to listen to this episode.

Joe Howard and Kevin Schultz were standing in the middle of a dumpster when they came up with a business idea that would change their lives.  As real estate investors, they knew there was a huge need for getting rid of all the junk that accumulates in the houses they were looking at for flipping or rehabbing.  So they became the owners of "Junk King of West Michigan".

Through this business they've been able to find opportunities that most investors never get to see.  Today they tell us about those opportunities and share stories of the less-than-glamorous side of the junk removal business.

Joe and Kevin discuss the traits that make for a good partner both in real estate and business, the first rehab they did together and the challenges they faced, an abandoned house full of cat litter, and how they donate a lot of their time and items to Family Promise, a local non-profit serving homeless families in West Michigan.

Is it possible to buy a house that no one else wants for $5,000 and then turn that house into a successful money maker?

My guest today, Larry Goins, says that not only is that possible, but you can earn more than the average investor makes on a house worth 10 to 20 times that amount. And he has real-life examples to back that up.

Larry has been investing in Real Estate for over twenty years, and has developed strategies that allow him to buy 10 to 15 properties per month without ever leaving his office.

Today Larry shares his "Filthy Rich" techniques using Seller Financing and Lease Options. Larry also gives examples of how he uses facebook, craigslist, and ebay to find leads and buyers.

You can also hear Larry speak live at the RPOA's Annual Real Estate Investor and Landlord Conference & Expo, which is happening in Grand Rapids, Michigan February 22-24, 2018.

Chris McClatchey initially built his Real Estate Portfolio the Traditional Way - by using Bank Financing.  But then it struck him;  the majority of his cash flow was going back to the bank to pay off his mortgage.  Not only that, but the first seven to fifteen years of mortgage payments were primarily paying off the interest on his loan rather than paying down the principal.

Chris knew that there had to be a better way, and that's when he came up with "The Power of Zero".  By using seller financing with zero percent interest, Chris was able to outbid other investors by overpaying for the property, but he was still paying much less in interest over the duration of the loan.

Today, Chris shares "The Power of Zero" with us, and explains why its so important to listen to the seller to figure out what they really want, why the terms of the loan are much more important than the price you're willing to pay, the three elements to a great deal, and how to present an offer and understand the psychology of the seller.

And you don't want to miss Chris when he appears as a featured speaker at the 2018 Annual Real Estate Investor & Landlord FREE Conference & Expo, here in Grand Rapids, Michigan from February 22 thru 24.
