Real Estate Investment MATH: Investor + Realtor Loyalty = Success!
By Peter Vekselman

 You may be reading in the real estate blogosphere and hearing from the experts out there, that now is a great time for real estate investing, due to the incredible amount of deals and foreclosures that exist across the country. Banks are giving homes away.

I do agree as I work with these deals all the time. However real estate investing can be a risky business and a very slippery slope. One thing that is indisputable, investing in Real Estate involves MATH.

Yes our favorite subject. But it is really quite easy and Here it is:

INVESTOR + REALTOR LOYALTY= SUCCESS

1. First, you must, not it would be nice if you did, but you must interview local real estate agents in the area you are thinking of investing, because they are in the trenches every day with buyers. Realtors know what buyers want, what neighborhoods are in transition, declining, revitalizing and which areas will likely bring investors the best return on their investment down the road.

2, Once you have interviewed several Realtors to see which ones are selling, not just listing the properties in your chosen area then commit to them. Let me say this again….commit to your Realtor because they will work hard to make the entire transaction smooth and bring it to its ultimate conclusion….closing.

There are many, many steps along the way from contract to closing. If you are loyal to your Realtor, they will be loyal to you and will be a considerable asset in your investment plans. As a good investor you must realize the importance of having a good real estate agent in your corner. It can mean the difference between success and failure. Your TIME is money and your Realtor saves you an incredible amount of time, from negotiating the contract, to setting up the inspection, to working with the lender, appraiser and the closing attorney, the list goes on and on.

3. If you buy to renovate and resell, guess what? The Realtors are a wealth of information when it comes to contractors who they recommend for your project. They have had the opportunity to see how these contractors work, their fees, their reliability, etc. Bad contractors can eat away at your profits quickly, so you need good ones.

4. Okay, so now you are ready to resell the property. It is here where many investors think the hard part is over. They think they will just put a for sale by owner (FSBO) sign in the yard and sell this thing on their own. Big mistake in this market. Now more than ever you need a Realtor working hard to get the home sold. They have access to buyers that you do not, when a buyer does comes along, again the negotiation process starts and you do not have to deal with that buyer face to face. As an investor there are significant benefits in NOT having to deal with the buyers directly. Remember time is money and many investors mistakenly think, hey I can sell this home on my own and save thousands in commission, but forget to realize that they will likely hold onto that property for a longer period of time than if they had used a Realtor from the start.

Here is what happens so many times. Investor puts the home on the market on their own, it sits there unsold for a few months or more and THEN they call upon the Realtor. Well they have just lost equity by having to pay their mortgage note for the months that the home sat unsold on the market. Realtors will tell you, the longer it sits, it becomes stale and you will most likely have to reduce your price to sell.

Depending upon your margin, you may have lost most if not all of your profit/equity…not a good situation, but one in which many investors fall into.

5. If you use a knowledgeable Realtor to buy the home, use the same Realtor to sell the home (why not, they know all about it from start to finish). If you stay loyal to the Realtor, guess what? They will become a “bird dog” for you and start finding YOU the deals. now that is what I call success!

Investor + Realtor Loyalty= Success. There is NO fuzzy math here….Agreed?

Now go out there and do good things! Invest in real estate today but do not go it alone, get the training, coaching and mentoring you need to reap the rewards this business can bring to you.

The City of Manor, Texas
By Ki Gray

 Manor is the name of a small city east of Austin, and this small community has many noteworthy attractions. The city was settled in 1872 when it was named after its first postmaster, James Manor. Manor currently has an approximate population of 5,500, a figure which was derived from the number of utility service connections, and the city is twelve miles northeast of downtown Austin.

Manor has an area of 1.1 square miles, and in the 2000 census, there were 405 households reported, including around 289 families. 365 of the households in Manor reported children under the age of 18 living in the home, and 47% of the households included married couples. The median age of the population is 32 years, which is about average for the state of Texas. The racial makeup of Manor is quite diverse: 53% of the inhabitants report being White, while 16% claims African-American ancestry. 25% of the inhabitants report other racial backgrounds, and 48% report some Hispanic or Latino ancestry, and many of the residents are a combination of the above.

The median income for households and families is between $37,000 and $42,000, and the population has a slightly higher percentage of women than men. School students in Manor attend Manor Independent School district schools, including Red Rock Elementary, and since 30% of the population is under 18 years old, there are many students in the Manor area. The average family size in Manor is 3.54 people, with 9% of families reporting a relative over the age of 65 living in the household.

There have been numerous films and other theatrical productions filmed in the area, some as a result of the small Texas town atmosphere, such as the T.V. show “Friday Night Lights”, which was partially filmed in the Manor Mustangs football field, as well as the movie” What’s Eating Gilbert Grape?”, which was also filmed in Manor. Due to the reasonably flat terrain and frequent tornado-prone weather conditions, parts of the movie “Twister” were filmed here as well.

Manor is a rapidly growing community, and is located on Highway 290 West fairly close to the intersection with I.H. 35. The recently built Highway 130 interchange with Highway 290 has made the city even more accessible, since State Highway 130 now traverses from I.H. 35 all the way to Highway 71 East, and is part of the new Central Texas Turnpike System, which will soon be expanded and connect even more of central Texas.

The median home value in the Manor real estate market is about $73,000 which is much less than the $200,000+ homes found in the nearby Austin real estate market. Manor is known for quiet living and a rural atmosphere, but since Manor is also strategically located near the U.S. 183 corridor, the community is very convenient for those who work in the high-tech computer industry which is centered north of Austin. In fact, the Chamber of Commerce in Manor proudly presented the Manor Chip Festival in 2007 to celebrate the computer and high tech industry as well as old-fashioned fun. The festival was held at the new High Tech High School in Manor in 2008, and proclaimed its motto to be “Let the chips fly”, and featured family-oriented games and contests, some utilizing chips in the races and games.

Some popular eateries in Manor include Ramos Restaurante, a Mexican food place, and Papa Geno’s Family Pizzeria, a pizza joint. There is a lovely park in the Manor area called East Metropolitan Park, which is located near U.S. 290 and the intersection with F.M. 973, and the park includes various ball fields, an 18-hole disc golf course, playscapes, ponds, concession stands, restrooms, and hiking trails. Admittance to the park is free and it is open on a daily basis, although there are nominal fees for the use of the swimming pool and certain ball fields. The park is in the process of expanding, and will eventually include even more amenities, but it currently provides all kinds of recreational opportunities for the residents of Manor and visitors alike.

Manor is an ideal place to raise a family, and is affordable, with close proximity to all areas of Travis County, especially the northeast portion of the city. Its accessibility to other metropolitan areas such as Houston and other east Texas locations is also a plus, since it is situated on Highway 290 East, yet Manor offers a small town flavor and many advantages of rural life. Manor is a worth considering if one is relocating to central Texas, and a great place to visit as well!
