Benefits of Owning an ADU Lets talk about the benefits of owning an ADU and all the tax credits and Grants. • Income potential • Privacy for office, music, artist, Inlaws, college students • Adding value to your home creating equity

Adding Value to Your Home: Very few people are aware of the added value an ADU can bring to their property. As an example the appraisal can be as high as 1 to 3 times the cost of the ADU and that value is added to the value of the existing home. Another reason is the high rental income in California. In fact, the number one reason people are building ADU’s is to live in the ADU and rent out their main home.

Lot Splits Can Bring Value and Income to Your Property: Besides rental income and increased property value Senate Bill 9 allows for lot splits where you can now have up to 4 units after the Lot split. We are expert developers and can advise you correctly if this is proper for you and your financial goals. Give us a call and we will be glad to assist you.

Best Ways to Use ADUs There are quite a few ways an ADU can be used as they can be Non-Living Space ADUs such as: • A gym/yoga place • A home office • An art studio/music studio • A pool house • Other use of ADU is to be a Guest House, Lodging Caretakers, Multi-Generational Housing Opportunity, Rental ADUs, and many more!

BUYING YOUR FIRST HOME? WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW. By Patrick McCarran ~ Real Estate Broker On the fence? Not sure if these historically low interests rates will last (spoiler they wont!) Maybe you’ve made the decision jump in and make one of the largest investments you’ll ever make in your life—buying your first home. You’re probably excited, but at the same time anxious. Some of the questions you may be asking are: Will I be able to afford the home of my dreams? Do I have enough money for a down payment? How do I know the condition of the home? The home buying process can be overwhelming, but if you go into it prepared, your first purchase can be a good experience. Here are some things to consider before making the plunge. Getting a mortgage—You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take. Fear of being rejected for a home loan is one of the main concerns for first-time homebuyers and the biggest hurdle to making the purchase. Don’t let fear of the unknown stop you from the first step in building your future. You have nothing to loose and everything to gain by calling a lender and starting the approval process. I know many of you are fearful of running your credit but running it for a home purchase is not the same as applying for a credit card. A home purchase shows stability and is scored differently. Mortgage Payments—The costs involved in the purchase of a home may seem overwhelming to firsttime buyers. However, with the help of your lender and Realtor, you can calculate out how much they you be

able to pay each month in mortgage payments, and from there, what prospective homes offer a feasible payment plan. It is important to remember that rent can continue to increase (even in rent control cities) but with a fixed mortgage it is stable. Property taxes and insurance may increase monthly however these are largely predicable and significantly smaller that rent increase can be. Down-Payment—The down-payment amount varies slightly depending on the loan you qualify for, Conventional can be as low as 3%, FHA 3.5%, and VA 0%. In many cases, first-time home buyers can purchase a home with no money down. There are many programs and grants that will cover the down payment and sometime closing costs. You can also ask the seller for a closing cost credit. Again you only lose if you don’t play, CALL A LENDER. Making offers—Don’t be afraid making an offer on the first home you see. This is a common mistake of many first-time homebuyers. If you know what you want and you find it, go for it. However it is perfectly fine to view different homes to get a feel for the marketplace. Make the decision that feels right for you. The market is moving quickly so speed is of the essence. The most important thing is not to get discouraged if you don’t get the first offer or even the 5th one accepted. My client just got accepted on the 7th offer and she had cash! One thing that experience has taught me is that when it is meant to be it will happen. Condition of the Home—Buying an ugly home is often another fear

of first-timers. While a home that needs major repairs can become a costly venture, a fixer upper can be a great value and often will not have the multiple offers that a “gorgeous turn-key” home may have. This is where hiring a home inspector will be beneficial. The home inspection will help explain whether it is largely cosmetic or a major repair and that way, you know what you are getting into. This can be done as a contingency of purchase so you can cancel without penalty if you find the condition overwhelming. Yes, purchasing a home is a big undertaking, but it doesn’t have to be a hassle. Your Realtor is an invaluable asset in helping you make educated decisions so that your first-home purchase is a rewarding experience.

1. Magazine readership has increased over the last 5 years in the United States. 2. 93% of all American adults read magazines regularly. 3. Magazines usually stay in homes and offices for weeks and months (with ads being looked at again and again) while internet ads can disappear into cyberspace in the blink of an eye. 4. Reading a magazine remains a uniquely intimate and immersive experience. 5. Not only is magazine readership up, but readers spend an average of 43 minutes per use. 6. Further, those 43 minutes of attention are typically undivided. Magazines and magazine ads garner the most attention: BIGresearch studies show that when consumers read magazines they are much like to engage with other media or to take part in non-media activities compared to the users of TV, radio or the Internet. 7. Magazines delivers more ad impressions that TV or Web in each half-hour period. 8. Magazine readership in the 18 to 34 segment is growing. 9. Magazines are the No. 1 medium of engagement - across all dimensions measured. Simmons' Multi-Media Engagement Study finds magazines continue to score significantly higher than TV or the Internet in ad receptivity and all of the other engagement dimensions, including "trustworthy" and "inspirational". 10. Magazines outperform other media in driving positive shifts in purchase consideration/intent. 11. Magazines rank No. 1 at influencing consumers to start a search online - higher than newer media options. 12. Magazines reach specific audiences. The only people who pick up this Real Estate magazine are people interested in real estate(buying, selling, etc.).

INTERACTIVE

VIRTUAL OPEN HOUSE TOUR What are some of the perks of doing a Virtual Real Estate Open House?

Current or potential customers can virtually tour the home from any device at their convenience ~ 24/7. Fully interactive experience (not video), similar to Google Street View.

Without a doubt, virtual open houses lead to greater opportunities to connect with your prospects or leads because of three main reasons: • It expands your reach: Virtual open houses no longer just serve the needs of locals who come to see the home in-person. Hosting open houses online means that your videos can be viewed without limitations of time or space. All it takes is a link to be shared out for another opportunity to be created. • You can offer the convenience of anytime, anywhere: You can save you and your buyers time from having to travel and coordinate schedules to meet. Virtual tours are viewable until the day the property closes escrow. • Buyers will want the option: Not everyone is interested in commuting to see a house in person for the first time. Occasionally, buyers will be more interested to vet a potential investment by first scanning it online. Whether or not social distancing enforcements are making it mandatory for you to only conduct virtual tours or not, having these be a part of your practice can help you filter out non-serious leads as it encourages only serious buyers to approach for further information.
