Example of The Haven Plan — Actual Construction May Vary

The Retreat at Kissing Camels Estates Downsizing without giving up quality SPONSORED FEATURE COURTESY OF THE PATTERSON GROUP Many homeowners reach a point where the kids are gone and suddenly they have a large home that no longer fits their needs. There are rooms they haven’t used in months, they are paying for space they don’t need, tired of yard work and they are ready for something new. But they struggle with the tradeoff of moving to a lesser quality property or to a neighborhood that doesn’t feel like home.

The Retreat at Kissing Camels is an intimate neighborhood of just 16 custom patio homes built

by award winning builder, C.R. Shea Homes.

Each lot has been sited to take advantage of the unique views and amenities Kissing Camels has to offer.

With 75% of the lots already sold, now is the time to visit and pick one of the few remaining lots in this wonderful community.

There are 4 distinct floor plans to choose from featuring various elevations, options and the ability to customize to individual needs. ■

Your building owner does have the right to develop your complex into a condominium and sell off the units. You, also, have rights in this situation.

No later than the time that the developer offers individual units for sale it must deliver a letter notifying you of your rights and options in a very specific format. You have the right to finish your lease and can even extend it for a period of time, typically 270 days, at your current rent, by giving prompt notice to the developer.

You may also have the option to terminate your lease early, and may even be eligible for a relocation payment under certain circumstance.

Read the letter carefully to learn your options.

You will also have the first shot at buying your unit and the developer must provide you with the details of the purchase offer within 90 days of that first letter. If the purchase materials are sent late, your lease will be extended an equal number of days so you have enough time to consider the offer and make the purchase.

Depending on where you live you may have additional rights as well, since some counties have additional protections in place. Because this is a regulated process, the notices and your responses must be made properly; therefore, it is important that you read and understand the letters and follow the instructions carefully to make sure your rights are protected. ■ Gary M.

The easiest ways to get into real estate investing

BY CYNTHIA MEASOM, TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE Only 15 percent of Americans are investing in real estate other than their primary residence, according to a real estate investing study by Realty Shares. In fact, twothirds of Americans believe that investing in real estate is too difficult, too costly or beyond their capabilities. This might be true if they were considering commercial real estate investing, which can be a risky move for new investors, but there are safer options.

WHAT IS REAL ESTATE INVESTING? Investing in real estate means buying property to earn income and build wealth, either on your own or with the help of real estate investment companies.

Many investors own more than

one property, and their earnings include rent paid by tenants and the equity they build through appreciation. Investmentproperty owners have different tax considerations for their investment properties than they do for their primary residence.

Investing in real estate doesn’t have to be intimidating.

Here are seven ways to start investing in real estate now: RENTAL PROPERTIES Buying rental property is one way to get started in real estate investing. Buying a rental property starts with choosing the right property, and then finding renters, maintaining the property, dealing with tenants and collecting rent each month.

One stumbling block might be locating an affordable property

worth investing in. “Traditional real estate investing is alive and well, although it’s largely dependent on geography,” said Aaron Milledge, founding partner and chief compliance officer of Targeted Wealth Solutions, LLC. “In some places, home prices have appreciated so much that it may be difficult to find a lucrative deal.”

Rental properties not only provide rental income but also tax benefits not available with other investment opportunities.

An additional advantage is that you have more control over your rental property than you do over investments such as the stock market.

LIVE-IN FLIPS House flipping involves

buying a property at a discount, improving it for the purpose of appreciating its value, and then selling it at a profit. A live-in flip is a property the investor lives in while renovating it.

Living in your flip benefits you in two ways: First, you can make money when you sell the house later. Second, you avoid having to pay for a separate

home to live in.

“Flipping a house — acquiring repairs, and selling — can be completed in six months and result in a substantial payday,” said Lucas Machado, real estate investor and founder of Home Heroes, LLC. “Flips can earn tens of thousands of dollars in a short time frame. It’s the best strategy for those that need capital in the near future.”

MULTIFAMILY HOMES Multifamily properties are buildings that house more than one family. The fact that people always need a place to live results in consistent demand for rental units regardless of the overall economic environment.

Investing in multifamily homes can be lucrative if it’s done properly. Justin Taber, real estate investor and a licensed Realtor in Ohio, recommends living onsite. “While you live in this property, you will be living either for free or heavily subsidized by renters,” he said.

“When you move out, you will be making money. In about 30 years, once this property is paid off, your cash flow will be quite substantial — just in time for you to start thinking about retirement.”

CROWDFUNDING Crowdfunding is one of the newest and easiest ways to access the real estate markets. Rather than buying an entire property or financing a development project on your own, you can buy into a very small share of a property or project using a real estate crowdfunding platform.

Not all platforms are created equal. Look for one led by real estate professionals qualified to screen investments.

From there, you can choose which specific real estate investments you want to buy into. Distribution of future gains is proportionally based on the ownership shares investors purchased. “These private placements are illiquid, though, meaning that you may have a hard time selling your investment if you need to raise cash quickly,” said Milledge.

REITS Real estate investment trusts are a special form of security that invests in real estate.

Unlike most other investment vehicles, REITs must pay out at least 90 percent of their taxable income as dividends to investors. When you invest in a

REIT, you’re essentially paying a professional management team to do the work of investing your money in real estate while you reap the profits of REITs. REITs are an easy way to invest in real estate because you don’t need tons of money.

“The initial contribution to invest in a REIT is very low,” said John Barnes, certified financial planner and founder of The Annuity Assistant. “For example, you could buy shares of a REIT which manages apartment complexes for $500.

Contrast this with a direct purchase in an apartment building, which might cost you $500,000 and the many risks that go with it.”

REAL ESTATE WHOLESALING Real estate wholesaling is when there is a middleman involved in the transaction between the seller and the buyer, with the wholesaler serving as the middleman.

Kyle Alfriend, owner of Alfriend Real Estate Group, sums up what it’s like to be the middleman. “You focus on only finding the property, negotiating the price, and then selling that agreement to another investor,” he said. “This is called wholesaling and requires no out-of-pocket money from you.”

The fine line of separation between real estate wholesaling, which doesn’t require a real estate license, and real estate brokering, which does require a license, has led some states to set guidelines for wholesaling activities. Texas law, for example, requires that unlicensed wholesalers disclose their financial interest to prospective buyers.

RENT OUT A SPACE IN YOUR HOME OR ON YOUR PROPERTY Renting out part of your home or property is probably the most immediately lucrative investment you can make, and you won’t need outside funding or a new piece of property. Instead, find opportunities within the property you already own.

Perhaps you’re a homeowner with a garage apartment that only needs a bit of TLC to make it ready for renters. Or maybe you have a spare room in your home that’s sitting empty. With a little bit of money up front, you can start renting it to a tenant almost immediately.

Alternatively, advertise the room as a vacation rental on an online booking site such as Airbnb. ■

7 common seller mistakes COURTESY OF THE PLATINUM GROUP, REALTORS It may seem like a sellers’ market thanks to continuous news coverage about the rising costs of buying, but it’s still a complex endeavor if you want to do it right. Even if you’ve made costly improvements like granite countertops, new appliances, or a new roof, it may not be enough to put you in the best position.

Seven common issues seller’s experience without an experienced, trustworthy professional include: 1. OVERPRICING YOUR HOME Realtors have their eye on the market and they are aware of the prices, the time frame, and the conditions of other homes for sale. Starting out with your home priced too high discourages buyers from giving your home consideration, and your property could be listed for longer than necessary.

An experienced Realtor will suggest an appropriate listing price based on your home’s current value, comparable sales nearby, and other relevant data.

2. NEGLECTING REPAIRS If buyers spot a handful of items that need repair, they’re going to wonder how well the rest of the home has been maintained. Don’t ignore things like a loose hand rail, sagging screen doors or jiggly door knobs, fix them before you have showings.

It’s also a good idea to clear your gutters, patch holes in your walls and address dripping faucets.

When your Realtor walks through it, they will view it through the buyer’s eyes and let you know what projects will get your home in show-worthy shape.

3. SPENDING TOO MUCH ON UPGRADES Fixing up your home to sell, or at least making repairs before listing it, is a good start. But, sellers often misunderstand which alterations to make without spending time and money on unnecessary updates. Realtors know what buyers are looking for and what needs to be done in order for your home to make the best presentation.

6. BOLD DÉCOR It’s okay to paint your house any color you like while you live there. However, when you’re ready to sell, distinct paint colors or wallpaper just means work for potential buyers. Decorating is a very personal thing and it can cost a lot to paint a house, and the thought of stripping wallpaper can be a deal-breaker.

4. MARKETING A lot of sellers think they can put a “For Sale by Owner” sign in the yard and a few photos online and have buyers come pouring in. However, getting the best deal means using all of the marketing options available to you. This includes online advertising with professional, quality pictures of your home. Realtors have access to sites that the public doesn’t, and the more people who see your house, the better your chances are of getting the best deal.

“In this age when buyers start their searches online, quality photos are crucial to actually bring them in the door.”

7. NOT STAGING YOUR HOME Your furniture arrangement may work effortlessly for your family, but it may not appeal to everyone.

Often simply moving the furniture can create a better flow, but in some cases professional staging is key to creating the welcoming environment

5. BEING EMOTIONALLY INVOLVED Buying and selling a home is a naturally emotional process. But, the blood, sweat and tears you’ve put into it does not make it someone else’s “perfect,” home. Unfortunately, a seller’s love for their home can impact their perception of reality. Again, an experienced Realtor can give you an unbiased view of any objections buyers may have.

Choose the greenest builder available METRO SERVICES As building codes enforce tightened minimum standards for ecoresponsibility, the more progressive builders are illustrating their own accountability by using and producing materials that are even more efficient than mandates demand. This is great news if you are currently designing, planning or simply getting ready to buy a new home – your investment will likely deliver greater environmental conservation, lower occupant costs and increased property value.

Building code revisions worldwide are ushering a whole new generation of structures that are between 35 and 40 percent more environmentally responsible. The improved practices in construction are showcasing advancements in wall building, windows, insulation and air-infiltration.

“Switching from wood-framing to concrete walls, for example, has so many spin-off benefits,” explained Natalie Rodgers of Nudura, the manufacturer of an advanced building method called the insulated concrete form (ICF). “Solid, air-tight concrete walls would initially lower your energy bills. You’ll live in a stronger, more comfortable home while the investment grows in resale value. As importantly, your home would PALMER create far DIVIDE lower demand RD. on natural

resources.”

Designed like Lego, the interlocking Nudura forms are designed with monolithic concrete sandwiched between two continuous layers of expanded polystyrene (EPS) foam.

“The foam material isolates the concrete and significantly reduces the flow of heat through the wall,” said Rodgers. “It stabilizes the internal temperature from day to night fluctuations and provides a largely self-regulating environment. This faster method of construction creates one solid concrete wall.”

As a result, you will need less energy for mechanical heating and cooling, delivering cost savings throughout the year. A home built with this concrete system is stronger, provides greater safety, offers greater sound and fire resistance, and would be far less prone to mold, cold spots and drafts.

“Benefits are plentiful to builders, too,” said Rodgers. “The patented hinged web allows the forms to fold flat, requiring smaller shipping space and less manpower than other methods.”

If you want your builder to use insulated concrete forms, be sure to make the request well before construction gets underway. ■

When you’re ready to put your house up for sale, a lot of things can work against you. The real estate listing is the first step in delivering a multitude of potential buyers to your front porch. But it’s not uncommon for listings to bring buyers and their agents nightmares, rather than tempting them to take a closer look. In fact, there are some common listing practices throughout the market that have a tendency to scare buyers away.

Colorado Springs

1. No interior photos Realtors routinely list properties without pictures. Posting a home for sale with no interior photos of a home, leads buyers to believe there’s a good chance something is wrong with the house. High quality, professional photos, inside and out, are a vital part of enticing buyers to look at your home.

2. No description, or a very minimal one Selling a property is a multi-stage process and it’s easy to lose buyers at any stage. Listing descriptions are one of the primary parts of marketing. Whether there is no description or very little information, either the agent is inexperienced, or they don’t have anything favorable to highlight in the listing. If the homes description is lacking, it can turn away buyers and cause you to miss a sale.

5. Rental The truth is, some rental units are well-maintained by their tenants, and others aren’t. However, most tenants don’t want to invest the time and money required to keep up home maintenance and repairs.

If the tenants are good about notifying the landlord, and the landlord is responsible, hopefully major issues will be avoided.

3. “Fixer” Although an abundance of DIY home shows make it look easy, trying to save money by buying a “fixer” and refurbishing it yourself, can easily turn into a terrifying and costly ordeal. Doing some painting, replacing carpeting, and even changing out appliances or cabinets is manageable, but some expensive blemishes may slide under your radar and eventually make a big impression on your wallet.
