Most of you who are reading this are already a part of our client appreciation program. However, for those of you who aren’t, we wanted to explain what this program is and the benefits you’ll see from joining if you haven’t yet.

First, we send a piece of mail each month about a real estate-related topic, which also includes information about houses we’ve listed or an event we have coming up. Then, we send out a video email in the middle of the month that is related to that same general topic.

In addition, we also send out blog articles like this one that cover questions that we get from people most frequently. If you have friends, family members, or co-workers who you think might be interested in receiving some of this information we are providing, we’d be happy to add them to our client appreciation program.

Another huge benefit of joining our program is that you can reach out to us for almost anything. We work in property management as well, so we know roofers, plumbers, electricians, and any other kind of service provider you might need in your home. We can also give recommendations for things that don’t even have to do with real estate. We know the best restaurants, dentists, babysitters, and more in Reno. I’ve lived here for 29 years now and know the area very well.

This program benefits us because it allows us to stay in touch with you regularly and help you with any problems you have in your home.

If you or someone you know might be interested in joining our client appreciation program, all we need is a phone number, an email address, and a home address. We will take it from there.

If you have any real estate-related questions in the meantime, don’t hesitate to give me a call or send me an email. I look forward to hearing from you soon.

What Could You Stand to Gain by Owning Real Estate? Pt. 6

In today’s final installment on the benefits of owning real estate, 
I’ll discuss the tax benefits associated with homeownership

Today’s discussion is the final installment in our six-part series about the advantages of owning real estate. If you’d like to brush up on our previous videos, visit our blog to watch parts one through five.

On top of all the other benefits discussed, owning real estate affords you a range of tax-related benefits. Many people are concerned with how the new laws regarding tax benefits on the interest paid on one’s house will affect their investments, but those legal changes shouldn’t affect you in Reno.

The interest you pay is deductible on your taxes—for more thorough detail on how that works, consult your CPA. You'll receive a statement from your lender, after which, all you have to do is use that statement to write off your interest on your tax return.

Further still, everyone needs to live somewhere. As long as you’re making monthly payments to live somewhere, why not pay your own mortgage down, rather than a landlord’s?

Ideally, you’ll live in a house for at least five to seven years, during which time you can pay a good portion of your loan down—or more, if you pay extra each month. If you look at your 30-year amortization schedule, you’ll be amazed at how much money you save in interest payments by making an extra payment every year during the life of your loan. Also during that time, your home will appreciate in value, leaving you with a big chunk of money.

There are more benefits to being a homeowner, and if you’d like more specifics or have any questions, reach out to us. We’d be happy to sit down and talk about how you can benefit from owning real estate. We hope to speak with you soon.

What Kind of Advantages Does Investment Real Estate Bring Property Owners?

Most of the time, my clients are looking for appreciation, cash flow, or both.

Today we’re back with No. 5 in our six-part series discussing the advantages of owning real estate. This time, we’re discussing the advantages of owning rental properties.

When people purchase rental properties, there are two things that they’re usually trying to accomplish:

1. Appreciation. This involves buying a property that’s either in need of work or in an up-and-coming area where we think prices are going to appreciate.

2. Monthly cash flow. A lot of this depends on the age and overall goals of the investor.

We can even manage the property for you.

I’m always playing this game with my clients of appreciation versus cash flow. If you’re lucky, you can get both, but most of the time you’re looking for one or the other.

I have plenty of clients who we help that end up managing their own properties. However, if you don’t want to do that, my team can certainly help with property management and still get you that appreciation or cash flow that you’re looking for.

If you have any questions about your specific situation and how owning rental property might help you, don’t hesitate to give us a call or send us an email. We look forward to hearing from you soon.
