What is a Rent Roll?
A rent roll is a document providing essential information about the status and finances of commercial real estate property. This report is crucial for potential investors and owners to review to stay informed about the property’s financial health. Some of the key pieces of information on a rent roll include:
Who Offers Bridge Loans?
There are many ways to fund real estate acquired for business or investment purposes. You could reach out to partners for help, fund it 100% yourself, or use a loan. But there are different types of debt available, including permanent, mezzanine, senior, and short-term. A bridge loan is a type of short-term debt.
What are the Pros and Cons of Bridge Loans?
Bridge loans can allow buyers to purchase a new home without first selling their old house. If there is a dependency on selling the old home, the buyer must make a contingency offer. Because some sellers prefer non-contingent offers, contingent buyers can be left out.
What Is Vacancy Rate And How Do You Calculate It?
Whether you’re considering direct ownership of investment real estate or buying fractional shares in a Delaware Statutory Trust (DST), you need to know the numbers. There is the capitalization rate, or cap rate. Also important are the price-to-rent ratio and cash-on-cash return.
What is a Bridge Loan and How Does it Work?
Investors or residents who want to buy a house usually have to first sell their old house to raise cash for a down payment. However, this can be problematic because of timing. If the new house is a hot item, waiting for the old house to sell can mean missing out on a great deal.
Can a Trustee Be a Beneficiary of an Irrevocable Trust?
Trusts can be helpful tools for estate planning and tax management. It’s important to know the difference between the types of trust if you intend to use them for these goals. For example, an irrevocable trust can’t be changed or terminated unless the beneficiary agrees to the modifications. That is a significant difference from a revocable trust.
What is Private Equity Real Estate and How Does it Work?
Private equity covers many different areas but is common in real estate, business startups, and acquisitions. It is called private because investors in these deals focus on private companies and generally don’t get involved with public markets (i.e., the stock market). There are a lot of pieces to private equity, and we’ll go over them in this article, along with an explanation of how private equity in real estate works.
Where Can I Get a Beneficiary Deed Form?
A beneficiary deed form—also referred to as a transfer on death deed—is a method of transferring the title to real estate when the owner dies. People planning the disposition of their assets may use these deeds to avoid probate and make it simpler for their heirs to take ownership of property. Using a beneficiary deed might make sense if you have property but not enough assets to warrant establishing a trust.
What Does Landlord Insurance Cover?
A landlord can be a small investor renting out one or two single-family homes, a significant investor with multiple commercial properties, or anywhere in between. Where the investor falls along that spectrum will likely influence how much and what kind of landlord insurance they acquire, but every landlord should have some. The Oxford Language dictionary defines insurance as “an…arrangement by which a company…provides a guarantee of compensation for specified loss, damage, illness, or death in return for payment of a premium.” Basically, the owner (landlord) pays the insurance company in exchange for financial protection against specific losses.
