Do You Want To Live In The Grand Canyon??

Do You Want To Live In The Grand Canyon??
While attending a very high-end open house the other day I was thinking about “functional design”. With its big open spaces & vaulted ceiling’s it wowed the senses, but we have to LIVE in our spaces and sound travels.
I have lived in a few places that were like this. They were awe-inspiring to the senses but when I actually lived there I found that voices would easily echo from the kitchen to the master bedroom where someone might rather be sleeping than listening to everyone’s conversation from the other room. With children, if there is no separation in the space the toys and baby gear can easily take over the entire house. When you are shopping for your home, visualize how the space and sound flow will work for you. Sometimes a more formal design could actually be a perfect home for you! You may want to separation from noise and toys! 🧸

Trial by 🔥...The Dog 💩 Adventure

Trial by ...The Dog Adventure

We are always talking about becoming a landlord but it’s not all roses and peaches that’s for sure. When my kids were young, I purchased a home using their baby bonus money as part of the down payment and I had some really great tenants that turned very very bad. Their life kind of fell apart and they went from being one of my best tenants to probably one of my worst. They ended up leaving their 5 Doberman pincher’s locked in the home by themselves. They literally tore the place apart...ate the furniture, scratched the doors, and you could imagine how much dog poop was left when no one let them out.
I took the boys over and said “well kids if you’re thinking of owning more rental property you need to see how bad it can get and then you can decide whether it’s something you want to try”.
We took a large barrel and filled it with dog feces and it was literally leaking out the bottom. It was so disgusting but I had them help me drag it out and we put it in the back of the truck. When we got to the dump site it smelled so bad they made us drive to the far corner up the hill and dump it onto a separate pile of garbage. Undeterred, both boys still own lots of rental properties but when you’re going to become a landlord you need to have your eyes open to some of the things that you could experience.
Thankfully, even in bad shape we sold it with over a $100,000 profit but that was about as bad as it gets.
Being a landlord can be great but it’s not a business for the faint of heart.

How to Revive an area.

In south Palm Springs one of the premiere areas is called Deep Wells. This is where some of the original movie stars had their homes.
Right next-door is a cute little subdivision; very similar but in transition.
On one street it looked like a builder had purchased three old houses in a row and had put up these stunning homes.
When you’re looking to invest in an area,
look for a well located area that is up and coming and then either by yourself one at a time or partner up with a few people to purchase a few tired looking homes and make them look cool and sexy. You will end up changing the face of the entire subdivision.
This is also a way to change an entire town as I’ve seen on occasion with $1 houses in Spain, Tumbler Ridge rejuvenation, etc.

Rent to own

You’ve probably all heard of rent-to-own or lease purchases. It’s basically a way to buy a home when you aren’t quite yet in a position to qualify.
In the good old days, buyers used to be able to assume mortgages so if you could afford the payment then you could buy a property but the banks don’t allow that anymore.
This is why people choose a rent-to-own option. It allows you to do the same thing. As long as you’re comfortable with the payment and you have long enough to build up your credit and qualify to get a Mortgage in the term agreed upon then look for rent-to-own options.
They actually aren’t that easy to find. Most sellers need their money now and aren’t willing to play banker for you for a couple of years until you get your ducks in a row but we have some options for you!
If you or anybody you know is interested in doing a rent to own please contact us and we would love to show you how it can be done! For more information like this, follow us at TeamKander on Facebook!
