James K. Did I hurt the "rent-ability" of this house?
24 April 2018 | 2 replies
I would like to crowdsource some opinions on if I may have damaged the long term rental appeal of this townhouse with some of the modifications I made to make it semi-house hacked:- Bought an undervalued 4bed/3ba TH in need of cosmetic renovations.- Built two walls/doors separating first floor from second floor and installed a washer/dryer in one of the third floor bedrooms during renovations. - Roommate rents out bottom floor while I live on the top two floors.- The ROI on house hack reno is 100% (will recoup all costs within the first year)- Concerned that this semi-split set up  may not be very appealing to future renters once I move out in 5-6yrs and rent it out- It looks fine cosmetically but closing off these levels makes the house feel somewhat less open.- Located in suburban area.Tearing down two walls and removing the upstairs w/d would not be very expensive so if it would be worth it to do this prior to moving out, it is something I would consider.

David Ivy City of Austin vs. "Predatory" Flippers/Wholesalers
30 March 2019 | 8 replies
There are already statutes and regulations regarding fraud and deception in real estate transactions.Educating people who want to be educated is fine, but if a governing body restricts the pool of ready and willing buyers, more properties will go to foreclosure and sit on the market longer.Real estate investors perform a vital function in every jurisdiction: putting properties back on the market, in good condition.Many of the properties they buy could never pass conventional lender's inspection because they typically require tens of thousands of dollars in repairs that most homeowners do not have or cannot do themselves.Additionally, many real estate investors near metropolitan centers can access almost an unlimited pool of funding to buy and remodel properties if the numbers work.From contract to close, the time can be in as little as 3-4 business days.The delay is mostly waiting on title companies.So when flippers mail letters and post cards to owners saying they can "close quick" and "all cash", that is a fact, not fraud.Of course, realtors will recommend you list your property – that's how they make money – so they are self-interested, which makes the report biased.Maybe next time you can have a "flipper" on you show for balanced reporting.The idea of anyone feeling "pressured" by getting a post card or flyer is ludicrous.If the homeowner doesn't want to sell, the solution is to throw them away.But the idea of "there ought to be a law" is equally ludicrous.If there are bad actors committing fraud, the answer is to enforce the laws already on the books.Out of all the properties posted for sale every 1st Tuesday of the month at the trustee's sale, a very large percentage never make it because they are bought by the very flippers you disparaged.If not for the real estate investing community, cities around the country would look much, much worse.My biggest complaint with your report is that you completely failed to get the rest of the story.Your editor needs address this."
