Knowledge is arguably the most important tool for profitable and trouble-free real estate investment. Buying, managing, and selling properties without adequate knowledge can lead to serious legal problems and substantial financial losses as well as the considerable stress that usually results for either. Our long experience with “help” forums and other interaction with real estate investors and landlords has shown that a surprising number of landlords lack adequate knowledge about many subjects that are important to their success, including:
  • How to buy, exchange, and sell real estate,
  • The landlord-tenant laws of their states,
  • Federal, state, and local fair housing laws,
  • Federal and state lead paint law disclosure requirements,
  • The Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), The Fair Debt Collection Act (FDCA),
  • Hiring and employment laws,
  • Zoning laws, building codes, and habitability laws,
  • Lease agreements and other documentation,
  • Property management principles and procedures, and
  • Insurance, vesting, and other risk management issues.

This is alarming in view of the potential high cost of failing to have and use the knowledge. Adequate knowledge and application thereof minimizes stress and risk related to real estate investment.

Income Property Basics eCourse

Buy it Now
Real estate has long been touted as an investment for income and long-term gain, as well as a hedge against inflation. The fact that real estate can be financed provides leverage that multiplies the effects of value increases. However, income property investment is not without risk. Buying and managing income properties requires knowledge in order to minimize risk and maximize return on investment. Acquiring good income property and managing it in a legal and profitable way is a real business that requires a lot of work. Failure to manage income property in accordance with federal, state, and local laws and according to good management procedures can be a costly experience. The “Income Property Basics” eCourse is designed to provide a basic general introduction to income producing real estate. This course will take you step-by-step through the basics of selecting, buying, managing and disposing of income property.

Evictions eCourse

Buy it Now
The only way that a landlord can forcibly remove a tenant from a property is through a legal eviction. “Self-Help” shortcuts such as threats, intimidation, shutting off utilities, or attempting to physically remove a tenant are illegal and dangerous. Although the eviction process can often entail trouble, expense, and delay, it’s important to understand that using the legal system to evict a tenant is the only option open to you. Each state has its own procedures as to how termination notices and eviction papers must be written and served (delivered). You must follow state rules and procedures exactly. Otherwise, you will experience delays in evicting a tenant while you re-serve the notice and/or re-file court documents. Failure to properly follow the rules can result in a dismissal or even the loss of the lawsuit, no matter how egregious the tenant’s violation. The “Evictions” eCourse is designed to provide the knowledge needed to evict tenants. In addition to discussing the subject from basic through advanced concepts, the course takes you step-by-step through the process.

Collecting Judgement eCourse

Buy it Now
Knowledgeable landlords try to avoid the need for a judgment in the first place by properly screening and selecting tenants and utilization of good management procedures. However, sometimes, in spite of doing everything right, one must deal with a judgment. Landlords should obtain judgments even when they think that the debtor-tenant has no income or assets because judgments can be collected for many years and the debtor may be in a substantially better financial condition several years later. Judgments can also be collected in a state other than the state where the judgment was obtained. When the judgment finds its way onto the ex-tenant’s credit record, it will likely have to be paid off when the debtor seeks financing, for example, to purchase a home. Interest will continue to accrue until the judgment is paid, so the judgment can actually turn out to be an excellent investment. The “Collecting Judgments” eCourse is designed to provide the knowledge needed to get the money from ex-tenants after you have the judgment. In addition to discussing the subject from basic through advanced concepts, the course takes you step-by-step through the process, including locating the ex-tenants and their assets and collecting the money owed you.

Foreclosures eCourse

Buy it Now
Many self-proclaimed real estate gurus make a lot of money pushing foreclosures as great sources of properties for want-to-be investors and charge them goodly sums of money to be told just how great and easy these sources are. Unfortunately, as with most guru offerings, the risks and problems are not often included in their spiels. Some people, not necessary those who listen to the gurus, do make money at it. In practice it's not always that easy to find profitable properties and it’s possible to experience serious problems and end up with big losses, particularly for the unprepared beginner. There are three ways to buy foreclosures: (1) from an owner in default (pre-foreclosure), (2) at a foreclosure sale, or (3) from a foreclosing lender that now owns the property. As with many investments, opportunities for the biggest potential rewards carry the highest risks. Buying foreclosures at the auction is the one out of the three opportunities to buy that has the greatest risk. Finding a good foreclosure property to purchase isn't a matter of deciding what you want to buy, where and when. An investor must select a property from what is available, and buy at just the right moment. The “Foreclosures” eCourse is designed to provide the knowledge necessary to locate and buy foreclosures. The course takes you step-by-step through the process.

Valuing Income Properties eCourse

Buy it Now
We all know that maximum profit comes from buying low and selling high. Although you would like to buy a property for the lowest price possible, the important thing is that you don’t pay more than it is worth. Similarly, although you would like to sell for the highest price possible, the important thing is that you get at least what it is worth. Investors must understand valuation principles in order to properly evaluate potential purchases (1) upon initial consideration, (2) when writing an offer, and (3) after performing all due diligence during the contingency period. The “Valuing Income Property” eCourse provides discussion of various aspects of value and how to determine it. Although the Valuing Income Property course is written from the perspective of an investor valuing a property for purposes of purchasing a property, a seller determines value in exactly the same way, with the advantage of having all the necessary data at hand.

Buying and Selling Income Properties eCourse

Buy it Now
Successful income property investing requires knowledge of a wide range of subjects, including those related to buying, managing, and selling properties. The most important factor regarding maximizing profit and minimizing problems is to pick the right properties and buy them in the correct way. What you pay for an income property is important, but what you finally earn on your money and effort is even more important. However, what you earn depends on (1) what you pay for the property, (2) how well you manage it during the period of ownership, and (3) how much you get for it when you eventually sell it. The “Buying & Selling Income Property” eCourse will take you step-by-step through the basics of finding candidate properties, selecting those that are most promising, performing pre-offer due diligence, deciding the price to offer, writing an offer having adequate contingencies and other terms, performing post-offer analyses and inspections, obtaining financing, and closing escrow. We also include a lesson regarding property management before closing with a lesson regarding disposing of property.

Managing Income Properties eCourse

Owning rental property does not guarantee financial success. Maximizing cash flow, minimizing risk and stress, and realizing maximum gain upon sale requires proper management. Understanding that landlording is a business that requires knowledge, organization, and a lot of hard work is the first step in becoming a good manager. Success depends on a plan that screens and selects qualified tenants, utilizes an adequate lease agreement and other documentation, adheres to good management procedures in order to control the property and retain good tenants, follows all laws and regulations in order to avoid legal hassles, and enforces the landlord’s policies according to the law and the lease agreement. The “Managing Income Property” eCourse provides the fundamentals of managing rental real estate and includes sections on the following: topics Accounting Forms & agreements Maintenance Health & safety Landlord-tenant, fair housing, and other laws Tenant relations Vacancies Screening & selection Security deposits Rents Controlling expenses Completion of the course should provide you with a good basic understanding of property management.

Putting good tenants into your rental unit and doing it legally is the most important aspect of managing real estate. Doing otherwise can result not only in loss of rents and/or costly damages, but can lead to lawsuits and even criminal prosecution. The “Filling Vacancies” eCourse will take you step-by-step through the subject of dealing with vacancies and will include both legal and practical issues. Issues that will be covered include: Legal possession of the unit Proper disposal of abandoned property Maintaining property in accordance with law and for maximum profitability Adequate legal tenant screening and selection procedures Collecting and handling deposits in accordance with the laws Utilizing and maintaining adequate documentation Although we present a comprehensive general discussion of dealing with vacancies from start to finish, we have also tried to present a lot of different ideas and suggestions not usually mentioned elsewhere. Although experienced landlords and property managers may be familiar with many of the topics discussed in this course, there should be more than enough new ideas for any landlord, no matter how experienced, to make the course worthwhile.
