First - Bill Gulley's post back oneIt is true that much of what we do could be translated to the site built industry, but there are some very important differences which means it doesn't work very well for either side to utilize us for site built, or someone else for MH.Plus, RCG is not interested in the site built industry.
Beffa V. The Geneva Situation
23 February 2013 | 2 replies
Forclosure simply doesn't exists, since there was only 9 forclosure last year....A simple, basic SFR is over 2,000,000 USD and a good property in a good location is over 10,000,000 USD so It's completly out of reach for me and I'm looking at condos.For condos, the median price is 10000 CHF per square meter, to translate it's 1000 USD per sq ft and it's a median price, condos near the lake or in the city center are two or tree times more expensive.With theses prices, the 2% rules is completly impossible to obtain since the rent for a small condo of 300 sq ft is around 1500 USD (0.5%) per month and a 1000 sq ft condo is arround 4000 USD per month (0.4%).The only good thing is the interest rate who is incredibly low at 2.79% for 15 years for a fixed rate for exemple, another "strange" local particularity is that in Switzerland we don't really pay our mortages, ever : for fiscal reasons it's a lot more interesting to have a debt on our house so we pay a small interest rate and have a big tax reduction.Most of the experts agree that Geneva face a housing bubble, the problem is that 10 years ago they where saying that too and prices have rised by 100% since... and there is still a severe house shortage and very low credits costs so I don't really see how things could really change...I tried to look in other part of Switzerland, the price is lower but the rent goes down too so the ratio isn't really better...One possiblity would be to invest in France since the border is so close and the price theres are 40% lower and there is a lot of government helps for investors like 19% of your money back on a new house purchase if you keep a gov fixed (read low) rent for 9 years.What would you do in my situation ?
Mayra Irizarry Yellow Letter or Regular Letter for Multifamily Properties?
23 January 2014 | 5 replies
Yellow letters are intended to convince a single family homeowner that you are interested in their house and took the time to hand-write them a letter professing your love for their place.How in the WORLD would that messaging translate to multi-family, where the owners are LANDLORDS and BUSINESS PEOPLE that are - i guarantee it - 100% WISE to the old yellow letter trick.If you want to be in a business, be a business person.

Rod Smith 2 Houses for the price of 1......What would you do?
1 March 2014 | 15 replies
Also the area that has potential for appreciation is likely in higher demand, meaning you should have less trouble renting it out which translates to lower vacancy and rising rents over time, whereas the cheaper properties you may not see any rent increases and possibly even rent decreases in the coming years.It's hard to give a firm answer without all of the facts, but I would lean towards peace of mind and ease of management over an extra $50-$100/month in cashflow.
