4 Benefits to Investing in Real Estate Today

YOUR NEXT MOVE

A home purchase can be a savvy financial investment whether or not you plan to live there. Today’s real estate market could be the best time to purchase investment property that will secure your long-term financial goals. Why should you consider investing in real estate?

4 Benefits to Investing Real Estate on the Alabama Gulf Coast!

1. Cash Flow – A rental property offers monthly income to cover the mortgage and provide you with cash flow.

 

2. Build Equity – Monthly mortgage payments build equity, providing you with a financial gain when the house appreciates.

 

3. Passive Income – Real estate as a long-term financial investment creates passive income once the mortgage is paid off.

 

4. Tax Benefits – Interest payments, mortgage insurance and expenses related to your investment property can be claimed as tax deductions.

Now is a great time to purchase an investment property. Many tenants prefer renting homes from private owners over apartments with property management companies. Call us today to make your next move in finding the right investment property. Contact Beverley at 251.644.8201.

Happy Memorial Day Weekend

Happy Memorial Day Weekend!

Memorial Day is an observed Federal Holiday on the last Monday of May each year.

We remember those that have fallen during our Nation’s Wars.  Many people visit cemeteries and memorials, particularly to honor those who have died in military service. Many volunteers place an American flag on each grave in national cemeteries for their loved ones.

Have a safe and wonderful Holiday Weekend and thank you for your service.

3 Ways to Brighten Up Your Home For Sale

GCBL Real EstateTeam
Three easy ways to brighten up your home.
A brighter home can help to create a more spacious appearance and potentially contribute to a higher resale value if you should ever put your home on the market. Here are a few easy ways to brighten up your home and let the sun shine in:

Keep your windows sparkling. Deep-clean your windows and screens to make sure sunlight is able to find its way in. After removing any dust and debris from the window, spray a mixture of vinegar and water and allow it to soak in. Wipe clean with a sponge and dry using a towel.
Add sheer, white curtains. To take full advantage of natural light, try switching to sheer, white curtains to brighten up darker rooms.
Add mirrors to smaller rooms. Mirrors will work in two ways to make your rooms appear bigger and brighter. First, they reflect and distribute light throughout a room. They also create the optical illusion of a larger space.

Simple tips like these can create a happier, healthier and more valuable home. Thank you for thinking of me for all of your real estate needs, and be sure to share my contact information with anyone you know of looking to buy, sell or invest in a home.

Before You Buy Your Next Home, Do You Need A Home Inspection?

Home Inspection Image

 

Before you buy your next home, you may ask yourself do I need a home inspection? Ordering a home inspection will be one of your biggest decisions you will ever make and having the inspection will prepare you for any potential problems and will set your mind at ease about your future house.  For home Sellers, I would suggest you get a home inspection before putting your home on the market. You will get a report of the condition of your home before the “For Sale” sign goes up.  That way, you can correct any problems before Buyer’s view your home for sale on the Market.

Buying a house can be stressful and it requires many important decisions.  Also, having a home inspection gives you a detailed report of the condition of the home. Having a detailed report before you move in will prepare you for any potential problems.  Once you receive your home inspection report, it will include the roof, garage doors, safety sensors, insulation and ventilation, fireplace, electrical, heating and cooling systems, decks, main water valves, foundation, basement, crawlspace, steps and  gutter, are just a few items on the list.  A home inspection report will describe the condition of the home and if problems are found, the Inspection Company can recommend further evaluation or remedies for any existing problems.

A home inspection is an examination of the physical structure and systems running in the home that are being inspected from the foundation to the roof.  By having a Professional Home Inspection, you will have a clear understanding of the home you are about to sell or purchase so you can make a confident informed decision during one of the most important financial transactions of your life.

If you have questions about getting a Home Inspection, contact me today and I will answer any questions you have at 251.644.8201.
