Consider Your Needs

How can you find the right home if you don’t know what you want or need from a home? You might already know how many bedrooms you need, but there is more to consider. Maybe you want a lot of outdoor space. How big do you want your driveway to be? Do you need a multi-car garage? Maybe you want a specific type of flooring or different features in the kitchen. Write it all down and organize your wants and needs by priority.

 Research Locations

According to BBX Capital Real Estate, developers of quick move-in homes in St Johns County, Florida, location can make one of the biggest differences.

What Is a VA Loan? Benefits, Requirements, and How to Apply

Military borrowers looking to buy or refinance a home might want to consider a VA loan. Backed by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), this loan option can make buying a home easier for those who might otherwise struggle to afford a mortgage.

While VA loans have a funding fee that borrowers need to pay, they also come with a range of benefits, such as not requiring a down payment. If you’re a current or former service member, here’s everything you need to know about VA loans.

What Is a VA Loan?

A VA loan is a new home loan or refinance loan offered through private lenders, such as banks and credit unions, in which a portion of the loan is guaranteed by the Department of Veterans Affairs. Since it’s backed by the federal government, lenders consider it a less risky loan than a conventional mortgage.

VA loans are available to those who have served in the military and, in some cases, spouses and of military personnel. You can secure either a fixed-rate or adjustable-rate VA loan.

Benefits of a VA Loan

For those who qualify, a VA loan may offer the most affordable path to homeownership. It carries several benefits, including low mortgage rates. Locking in a lower rate can save you tens of thousands of dollars in interest over the lifetime of your home loan.

A Top Agent Roundup On the New Jersey Shore

Asbury Park, New Jersey, has been one of the hottest real estate markets in the United States. According to Redfin, in August 2022, prices in the seaside town were up 6.7% compared to last year. In addition, the median home price was $560K, and houses were selling in less than a month. So, with a looming recession hanging over the industry, I thought it would be interesting to see how Asbury Park real estate professionals rank in marketing compared to those in less profitable markets. What I turned up was interesting, logical, and a bit sad. 

Joe Oz (Joseph “Joe Oz” Ossichak) deserves to be called the “Wizard” of New Jersey shore real estate. He’s mastered and optimized his firm’s digital marketing effort, which virtually assures he’s the top dog in traditional marketing and sales in the area. Professionalism is just that way. Like most of the subjects we’ve focused on recently, I discovered him via Zillow. Perfect reviews there, and 

Oz’s website blows the competition in New Jersey away with an SEO ranking of 94/100. And while I am not in love with the aesthetics of the landing, this kind of online billboard still converts effectively. If the agent has a negative going against him, it’s the recent slackness on Instagram and an unbalance follower/following ratio. Oh, and the group’s Youtube effort is very nice but could use more content and promotion. 

He’s perfect on Facebook, posting effectively and with exactly the right frequency for his market. While his marketing and branding prowess could use a shot in the arm from local and national media notice, he’s head and shoulders above this competition. What impressed me most about Ossichak is that he optimizes his efforts even though the properties in Asbury Park tend to sell themselves lately. This says a lot about a person. 

Daniel Effenberger of O’Brien Realty probably has the most potential of any real estate agent in this part of New Jersey. He gets it where aesthetics and engagement are concerned. Facebook shares reflect his personality, and being photogenic does not hurt him either. However, there are a couple of reasons he could become the king of NJ sales. First and foremost, he does not have much competition in Asbury Park. Nobody in the industry in this seaside town seems to care much about using digital tools, media, or advertising to boost sales.

4 Fundamentals for Social Media Marketing – Tyler Brenner, BHGRE Metro Brokers 

According to Sprout Social, as of January 2022, there are 3.96 billion total social media users across all platforms. The average person bounces between seven different social networks per month. The amount of time adults use social media across all platforms is now higher than ever — 95 minutes per day. TikTok is the fastest-growing social network, with a staggering 105% user growth rate in the US over the past two years.

There is a tremendous opportunity to connect with people on social media. But for those new to social media marketing, the task may seem daunting. Here are four fundamentals to focus on at the start.

Leverage existing social media advertising technology. There are several third-party administrators that can create, schedule and target ads, saving you time. Why learn the ins and outs of creating ads when your expertise is in building relationships? We use Boost by HomeSpotter, a fully brand-funded social media advertising service, but there are plenty of others available, such as Adwerx or Homesnap.Understand your audience. People don’t want a constant stream of salesy ads in their feeds. That means you need to find ways to showcase your real estate business in a more casual, organic way. Take opportunities to capture your day – when you go out for showings, writing contracts, taking training, visiting your office – and show them you love what you do. Incorporate your niche and provide resourceful information in a meaningful way. If you’re perceived as someone both passionate and knowledgeable, you’re already a long way to keeping top of mind when they or someone they know need your assistance. Don’t stretch yourself too thin. There are plenty of social media platforms out there, but I recommend picking one, preferably one that you are most familiar with, and build up your profile and proficiency on that one platform. For instance, you can start delving deeper into Facebook. Once you have mastered Facebook and it’s become a business stream for you, the next logical step would be Instagram, which is image-driven and lends very well to promoting various aspects of real estate. Then you can begin doing Stories or Reels. You should also consider LinkedIn to promote your professional acumen. And finally, TikTok is growing rapidly so consider catering to the HGTV mindset today’s consumer has and include videos in your content mix.Track your results. It’s crucial to analyze how your social media marketing efforts are working, particularly if you are paying to advertise or boost posts. What type of content gets the most engagement? Where are your online leads coming from? You can use the analytics function in each platform or your social media marketing tool to track reach, likes, shares, and lead form fills. I like to call this “test and learn.” Once you know what’s working well, optimize that content or spend, reallocating from tactics that are not performing well.

The bottom line is that social media marketing is fundamental to your bottom line. 

Careful spending and allocation of your time can make the difference between a modest bump or an epic boost in your business.

Which Mesa, Arizona Agents Rock Digital Marketing?

According to Reffin, as of August, Mesa, Arizona, home prices were up 9.9% over the previous year. The median price was $450K, and most homes were sold within a couple of months on the market. However, home sales for August were also down by 274 compared to 2021. And things are trending downward now. 

So, with this in mind, now seems like a good time to profile local agents in this market with regard to their marketing and branding prowess. I’ll say this from the outset, don’t expect too much digital wizardry in a niche market that’s been hot as the proverbial firecracker. 

Shawn Rogers, AKA Mister Rogers Homes, is one of Mesa, Arizona’s top real estate professionals. According to our methods (one of them at least), I found him via perfect Google reviews (5.0/154). Rogers is also a Zillow Premier Agent with unblemished reviews (5.0/1077 Reviews). 

His website has a respectable SEO score of 78/100, and on social his team seems eclipse other agents in the region. Over 11,000 engaged Facebook fans, over 1,000 Youtube subscribers, and “bingo,” this Arizona home seller smashes the competition. He’s not into traditional media much, and Instagram does not seem to be his team’s bag. 

So, that’s about it for his digital marketing efforts. From what I can glean from his Youtube channel, the flashy hard sell still seems to work in this part of the country.

Can You Avoid Capital Gains On the Sale of a Second Home?

You may plan on investing in a second home for personal or financial reasons. You probably want to use it as a holiday retreat, a rental for extra income, or a getaway spot for weekends. However, there may come a time when you find it necessary or smart to sell that second home. While you can profit from the sale of your house, especially if its value has improved over time, you’ll probably also have to pay capital gains tax. Thankfully, you can plan for these taxes and take action to lower them.

Selling a Second Home vs. Selling Your Primary Residence

You’ll probably pay very little or no tax if the property you sold was your principal residence. The IRS has a principle that excludes residences from capital gains taxes. You can exclude up to $250,000 in earnings from the sale of your primary house if you’re single. For married couples filing jointly, the exclusion amount is $500,000.

However, a second home cannot be excluded. A capital gains tax will be due when you sell your second house. You may be responsible for short-term or long-term capital gains tax, depending on how long you’ve held your second house.

Can you sell a second house without paying capital gains taxes? Yes, you may be able to avoid paying all or part of your capital gains taxes. You simply need to adhere to specific rules. Here are a few helpful tips to avoid capital gains tax on your second home.

Reduce Your Net Profit

If you acquired your second house for $400,000 and sold it for $500,000, you might believe your taxable capital gain is $100,000. However, this isn’t always the case. The crucial point in this situation is that the net profit, not the difference between the purchase price and the sale price, is subject to capital gains tax on the sale of the second home.

Tips for Obtaining a Mortgage During Retirement – You Need a Strategy

You’ve been working all of your life and living within your budget. You’ve never had trouble qualifying for a mortgage because your credit rating was high, your debt-to-income ratio was good, and you bought a house that you could afford. Now, you’re fully retired and want to sell the old family home that still has a mortgage. Your plan is to downsize into a modern, single-level near your children that is in a more expensive neighborhood than the one you’re currently in. You need to take out a new mortgage but will your qualify? 

Or maybe you just want to refinance your existing mortgage.

Possible Obstacles to a Retirement Mortgage

Under the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, lenders cannot discriminate against borrowers based on age. Retired borrowers, like working borrowers, simply need to show that they have good credit, not too much debt, and enough ongoing income to repay the mortgage. Two common obstacles hindering some retirees are today’s higher lender qualifications and what lenders consider to be acceptable income.

You may even have a substantial amount of assets in a 401k or IRA retirement account but that isn’t necessarily income if you are allowing it to continue growing tax-deferred in your 401k or IRA. Qualification and income requirements depend on the lender and the type of mortgage that you’re seeking. You may need to do some shopping around. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac backed loans come with requirements that lenders must follow. But private mortgage lenders set their own standards and can even waive some if they believe you are a good risk for other reasons.

Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and some private lenders do have programs designed to meet the different income and asset sources of retirees but not all loan offers are fully up to speed on how to handle assets that don’t show up on W-2 or 1040 IRS forms. The place to start is by asking the loan officer if he or she has experience qualifying loans based on retirement income sources rather than only on steady monthly income.

Ed Kushins on 5 Biggest Mistakes to Avoid When Buying a Vacation Home

As the founder of Vacation Property Partners, I encourage careful thought, analysis, and prudence before taking that big step to buy a vacation home,” states Ed Kushins, vacation property visionary, and entrepreneur. “Here are some things you can consider to mitigate some of the possible mistakes noted in the Yahoo Finance article.”

Making an Emotional Investment

Kushins continues, “I couldn’t agree more that vacation home buyers need to fully understand all the financial aspects related to buying their vacation home. That’s why we created a unique, easy-to-use ‘Vacation Home Expense Calculator” that’s free on our site.

“It’s the only analysis tool we know of that’s available for buyers to see, in detail, the all-in cost of every element of owning their vacation home. And how they can cut all actually those costs in half. But while you need to do your financial due diligence, I would encourage you to not disregard the emotional investment, and make sure you place you get is going to provide you the happy memories you are buying a vacation home for in the first place.”

Can I Get Out of My Purchase Contract Because of High Interest Rates?

Ask Brian is a weekly column by Real Estate Expert Brian Kline. If you have questions on real estate investing, DIY, home buying/selling, or other housing inquiries please email your questions to askbrian@realtybiznews.com.

Question from Ellie in ID: Hi Brian, We had a purchase offer accepted more than four months ago but it hasn’t closed yet. In fact, our mortgage was just given final approval less than a week ago. The interest rate is two and a half percentage points higher than what we had planned on, and our payments will be $515 higher on the $345,000 home. The delay was because my husband took a better job a week after we made the offer. We had to change lenders after the offer was made and it took longer than we thought it would. Four months ago, we made the full-price offer with only a financing contingency, which is probably why the seller has been patient with us. My husband’s new job is better but not enough to make up for the big jump in our mortgage payment. We’ve talked to our agent about renegotiating the price so that we are comfortable with the monthly payment. We suggested lowering the selling price to $320,000 which would mean our payment would still be $370 more than we planned but we can live with that. Our agent says it would be unethical to try renegotiating the price after the offer was accepted and especially since the seller has been patient with us. She says the only way we can get out of the deal is by forfeiting the $5,000 earnest money we put down. Do we have any other options to get a better price on the house?

Answer: Hello Ellie. The short answer is no, you probably don’t have many (if any) other options. If you’re having second thoughts and want to back out of an accepted purchase offer, things can get complicated. It sounds to me that you have agreed to everything that has come in front of you up to this point. Mainly that you signed a purchase offer for $345,000 and have been approved for a mortgage without any other contingencies. 

If you want out of the deal, it sounds like your agent has explained that it will cost you the earnest money. When you sign a purchase agreement for real estate, you’re legally bound to the contract terms. Earnest money shows the seller that you’re serious about purchasing the house and plan to follow through on the agreement. It’s not fair to the seller to pull their home off the market if a buyer is not totally serious. Just like the interest rate changed for you, the market conditions are changing for the seller. While it is still mostly a seller’s market, it might not be by the time they find another buyer. The seller has also probably taken other action in anticipation that the sale will go through. Maybe they sold furniture with plans to downsize or spent money from savings with a plan to replace it with money from the home sale.

You didn’t say how much the appraisal came in for but since you’ve been approved for the mortgage, it must have been for at least the contract amount. That’s another reason why the seller is not motivated to accept a lower offer from you.

How To Manage Your Law Firm’s Data for Legal Analytics

There is no question that data is becoming increasingly important in the legal profession. Collecting and analyzing data is becoming a key differentiator for law firms. But with the increasing importance of data comes the challenge of managing it effectively. Keep reading to learn more tips for managing your law firm’s data with data management solutions.

What is data management?

Data management provides the ability to collect, store, and analyze data. This is important for law firms because they can use legal analytics to improve their business operations. Data management helps law firms manage their data to make better decisions about how to grow their businesses. They can also use legal analytics to measure the performance of their attorneys, predict case outcomes, and identify new practice areas.

One of the most prominent challenges law firms faces is data management. Data needs to be accessible, consistent, and secure to meet the firm’s requirements. Data management tools, such as master data management, data virtualization, data catalog, and self-service data preparation and wrangling can help make this possible.

Master data management (MDM) is a critical part of data management for law firms. MDM enables firms to govern and manage their data more effectively. It helps to ensure that data is consistent and accessible across all applications and platforms. MDM also makes it easier to enforce security and compliance policies.

Data virtualization is another important tool for data management. It helps firms to access and use data more efficiently. Data virtualization allows firms to consolidate data from multiple sources into a single view. This makes it easier to find and use the data that you need.

TKI’S QUARTERLY nSKOPE Predictive Analytics report shows Jackson, Michigan as nation’s most Predicted Sales Market

TKI, a software development company with more than 20 years of real estate experience, today unveiled its quarterly nSkope Predictive Analytics Report that identifies more than 7.3 million homes in 364 studied Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs) that are most likely to come on the market through June 2023. The report suggests that families with children in grades K-12 will increase their market presence to 22.5% of all homes sold. 

The report broke down each MSA by size and found that of those markets with a population of less than 100,000, Rome, Ga., had the most predicted listings expected to come on the market by June 2023 with 4,323 properties.

Gainesville, Ga., led communities with 100,000 to 250,000 in population with nearly 15,000 projected listings. Port St. Lucie, Fla. (23,800), Durham-Chapel Hill, N.C. (44,850), North Port-Sarasota-Bradenton, Fla. (40,141), Nashville-Davidson-Murfreesboro-Franklin, Tenn. (82,050), Phoenix-Mesa-Chandler, Ariz. (136,394) and New York-Newark-Jersey City, N.Y.-N.J.-Pa. (280,999) followed in leading specific population breakouts. (See charts below.)

nSkope, which utilized proprietary algorithms enhanced by artificial intelligence to analyze over 300 data points and identify patterns and correlations, broke out each MSA by Census population counts to determine the most predictive markets by size. 

Along with predicting future listings, TKI also reviewed nSkope data to determine which MSAs had the highest success rate based on reviewing June 2021 predictions. Jackson, Mich., had 1,021 of the 5,879 predicted addresses come on the market between June 2021-June and 2022, a nation-leading 17.37% conversion rate. Jacksonville, N.C., New Orleans-Metairie, La., and Kalamazoo-Portage, Mich., also were above 15% success rates.
