HOW TO PICk THe PerFeCTly IMPerFeCT FIxer-uPPer

By Jesse DarlanD CTW FeaTures

you’ve found that fixer upper of your dreams and you’re ready to put in an offer. But despite your vision of what the house could be, there’s still some fixing up to do before it’s ready for move-in. sure it’s a little scruffy now, so how can you look past the flaws and find the “good bones” within? We consulted some experts to find out how to tell a diamond in the rough from a money pit. “as a home inspector, I’m not able to

open up walls, so I’m just looking for clues,” says sean Thompson, a licensed home inspector and owner of Thompson Home Inspection in Portland, Ore. according to Thompson, most problems in older or rough-around-the-edges homes can make themselves known through clues. you can check for these problems yourself when you visit the property for a walk-through. start by giving the foundation a quick once-over to check its fitness. “Walk around and through the home, looking at floors and checking outside for foundation cracks,” Thompson says.

Most homes settle over time, so any cracks along the edge of the foundation are not an immediate cause for concern, but if you see cracks wider than a quarter of an inch, there might be deeper issues. “a home inspector can advise you

Wilsey points out that climbing on a weakened or unstable roof can cause further damage – before the home has even been purchased. Instead, grab a flashlight and take a look in the attic.

Five steps

to A successFul reAl estAte Flip

hat’s a flip? Buy cheap, renovate and resell for a profit. Are you thinking about embarking on a real estate flip? whatever you do, don’t go into it blindly. take the time to plan your project and learn about this type of real estate transaction in order to avoid making rookie mistakes. here are the most important steps to follow to turn your project into a resounding success.

1. Find the perFect property The first step is to find a suitable property to flip. The challenge is to find a good deal, wherein you acquire a property that might require some major renovations but that has great potential to be resold at a decent price. it is also essential that the property is located in a desirable neighbourhood. in other words, you need to know the market in order to identify what constitutes a good selling price. After all, the purchase price largely determines the achievable profit on resale, which is generally about 10 to 15 per cent. you’re going to be looking for the lowest possible prices, so start your search with properties that owners want to sell quickly.

2. do your cAlculAtions Before you buy, you should evaluate all project expenses, including the costs of purchase (purchase price, inspection, lawyer fees, transfer taxes), possession (mortgage, property taxes, utilities,

insurance, snow removal) and selling. don’t assume that you’ll be able to sell the property without a real estate agent. obviously, you should also evaluate the costs of the renovations. to do this properly, ask a general contractor to visit the property with you. he or she will estimate the work required and the associated costs. however, bear in mind that renovations usually involve a few surprises, so leave some leeway in your budget for unforeseen expenses. Also, be careful not to do too much in the way of renovations; if you want to recover your investment when you sell, don’t exceed the potential value of the property. A licensed appraiser and a real estate broker can help you evaluate the resale value of the property once it has been renovated.

3. Find FinAncing contact a mortgage broker to determine your borrowing capacity. do you have the required down payment? can you get a loan to finance the renovations? Are you eligible for some subsidies? Are you thinking of going into a partnership for this project?

4. Ask ABout current regulAtions And get insurAnce Make sure that the work you want to undertake will be accepted by the municipality concerned. Ask about the necessary permits, and make sure you understand the impact of the flip on your taxes. insure your investment and check that the professionals with whom you are dealing have all the necessary permits.

5. do As Much work As you cAn, then delegAte of course, your project will be more profitable if you do as much of the work yourself as possible. however, you must be able to acknowledge your limitations and find competent professionals for tasks requiring special expertise, such as electricity or plumbing. real estate flips are demanding and stressful, with the possibility of overloaded credit cards, water supply cut offs and the risk of selling at a loss. Are you mentally prepared for the challenge? if so, dive in!

thinking about buying a townhome, condo, or other multifamily residence? attached home living can offer a lot of perks, including little to no upkeep required and not having to worry about leaf and snow removal. But choosing a unit without giving serious thought to its placement within the building can

result in serious buyer’s remorse.

Consider the risks when you share walls with neighbors in a multifamily development: pick the wrong spot, and unwanted noise, ugly views, privacy problems, and more may plague you.

“With single-family detached homes, at worst you have a neighbor who’s noisy or whose property is an eyesore.

But if you own a condo with a neighbor above who’s training for a tap-dancing competition, you’re going to go insane,”

says Chris taylor, broker with Bostonbased advantage real estate.

Picking a unit prudently is essential, agrees Genevieve Wilner, agent with Monument sotheby’s international realty in Baltimore, “not only to ensure that you’re happy living there, but to get the best resale value when it comes time to sell.” adriana Mollica, realtor with teles Properties in Beverly hills, has several

criteria she asks her attached home shopper clients to ponder carefully, including: • Accessibility – Think twice about a unit that’s a far walk from your parking spot and resident amenities.

• Common walls – Corner unit condos and end-of-group townhomes are more private and desirable.

• What’s above and below – Top floors are pricey but preferred because no one lives above you. avoid living directly below a common area like a rooftop deck or directly above a hightraffic noise nuisance such as a garage gate.

Because replacing a roof starts in the thousands of dollars – and goes up in price from there – you might want to consult with a licensed contractor before proceeding further.

Now it’s on to the home’s plumbing, which is more difficult to check. Because pipes are (usually) enclosed within walls, visually inspecting them is hard to do. “But what you can quickly assess is the water pressure,” Wilsey says. Turn on the taps – sinks and showers throughout the home – and see if there’s good flow. Wilsey also suggests taking a look under the bathroom cabinets or kitchen sink. Look for obvious stains from leaking water.

If you notice any metal pipes with rusted joints, that’s a sign that the pipe is slowly deteriorating. Open a nearby faucet and see if any orange water comes out. “If it has low flow and orange water, you have pipes that are at the end of their life or close to it,” Thompson says. Because it can be so destructive, replacing pipes is an expensive repair.

While lead pipes are very rare, they’re not unheard of in very old homes. “The pipes themselves, if you can locate it, is not a hard thing to identify,” Thompson says. Lead pipes

are a smooth, dark metal, but they’re soft. If you can take a screwdriver to it, you can scratch it pretty easily.

The electrical system should be one more thing to check.

If a home was built before the 1920s, you may have old knob-and-tube wiring in the walls or attic. Homes built after that date often will have ungrounded wiring, which can be a fire hazard if enclosed in a wall along with insulation.

Also, you’ll want to pay special attention to any DIY “modernizations” that a past homeowner might have undertaken. These are rarely up to code. Look in the attic for dates of manufacture stamped on wires. Those will give you a clue as to when the electrical system was worked on.

“I’d advise you to ask the homeowners to provide permits for any work they’ve done,” Thompson says. If you find wires with dates of manufacture that are newer than any work permits, it’s likely that you’re looking at some While none of this is a substitute for a proper home inspection, taking a look around can give you a few clues as to whether your fixer-upper is worth the investment.

Personal Service From Professional Agents

If you’re worried about a low appraisal affecting your real estate transaction, preparation is the key, according to Frank gregoire, former chair of the National Association of Realtors appraisal committee. Both buyers and sellers can take steps to remedy the situation.

Here are his tips: Advice for sellers: 1. If the appraised value is unacceptable, cancel the contract and put the property back on the market. A new buyer, new lender and new appraiser could deliver different results.

2. Offer to pay for a new appraisal. Request that the buyer change lenders, preferably to a lender that has closed deals in the building, or neighborhood.

3. Contact the state regulatory board and file a formal complaint against the appraiser if there is reason to believe the appraiser acted unprofessionally or made egregious errors.

4. Do your homework. Know what other units in your building, subdivision or neighborhood have sold for and ask your real estate agent to provide printed materials detailing those sales.

5. Provide the appraiser with all offers received to show market demand, if multiple bids were received.

6. get a pre-listing appraisal. Hire the best appraiser you can find before listing the property. When the lender’s appraiser comes, hand your professional appraisal report to him for guidance.

Advice to Buyers: 1. Buyers can cancel the contract without penalty as long as the contract is contingent upon the property appraising for contract price.

2. The buyer could use the appraisal as leverage to negotiate a lower price.

3. The buyer has the right to request a copy of the appraisal and challenge the appraiser’s report with new data.

4. Buyers should always use a preferred lender for condo developments and new housing developments, to decrease the chance of underwriting and appraisal mistakes. © CTW Features

By Jesse DarlanD CTW FeaTures When buyers find a home they want but the price isn’t quite what they want it to be, what are the best ways to go about getting the best possible price? We spoke with some experts to learn their secrets. unless you’re talking about an all-cash transaction, the final price of your home will translate into a certain monthly mortgage payment. so keep that in mind as you talk about your payment.

“We always say, ‘you live in the payment not in the price,” says Carrie Faletti, a real estate agent with atlanta Fine Homes sotheby’s International realty.

“Meaning the lender may approve you for a sales price that does not equate with what you are comfortable paying each month.” you can consult an online calculator to estimate your monthly payments based on a certain price. (realtor.com and Zillow both provide popular options.)

“While realtors aren’t mortgage professionals, they can provide general guidelines to their clients and direct them to reputable lending institutions, from which buyers can choose a lender to get preapproved,” says Bob Oppenheimer, 2017 president of new Jersey realtors. a good starting place for your negotiations is trying to determine the true value

of a home. If you’ve ever purchased a car, you’re probably familiar with Kelley Blue Book values. While it’s harder to pin down the “fair market value” of real estate, there are ways to figure out what a home is really worth. every home has two values. There’s the market value – what the collective active buyers are willing to pay. Then there’s the value to the buyer. Buyers will be the one to sets limits on when a home is no longer worth the price for them.

It’s conventional wisdom that sellers whose properties have been on the market a long time are open to negotiation, but our experts say that’s not always true. “sometimes, it means that the seller is far too stuck on their price,” says scott Troxel of Keller Williams realty nashville and the 2017 president of the Greater nashville realtors association. “sometimes it means they can only sell at that price because of loan balance.”

Most sellers will eventually understand they’ll need to negotiate if they want to sell their property. The timeframe, however, is dependent on the local market. In a strong market, just a month can be enough to prove to a seller they aren’t priced realistically you can also negotiate the closing date.

“It all depends upon who has the power in the transaction,” Troxel says. When there

are competing offers, the seller controls the closing date. If it’s a buyer’s market, then the buyer has a stronger say in the closing date and it can be negotiated..

There’s also a convenience factor. “If For first-time homebuyers that aren’t yet versed in the intricacies of all of the systems that make up a home, asking the seller to make repairs might give some peace of mind. But if you’re looking at a short closing period, scheduling a contractor to make those repairs can be difficult. Our experts cautioned against approaching this process as an opportunity to squeeze the price down further.

“I don’t recommend going into an agreement with the idea, ‘We’ll just work the seller down more in the inspection.’ I believe it’s important to act in good faith,” Troxel says. Trust is a vital part of the transaction – trust between the seller and buyer. “The more that trust is broken, the greater the breach of trust grows.” “repairs are best negotiated when the solution is black and white, say a faulty GFCI outlet or a broken garbage disposal, because the repairs are straightforward and we can easily test whether or not they’ve been properly addressed,” Faletti says. some things shouldn’t be negotiated.

“Don’t compromise on your house wants and needs to buy a home with a bad floor

plan or funky features,” Troxel says. after all, a bad floor plan means that you’ll have trouble selling the house yourself down the line. Bad floor plans can’t be undone without radical work, so don’t compromise there.

Other things like furnishings can be negotiated into the transaction.

Oppenheimer has seen buyers ask for anything from patio furniture to a chandelier the seller was planning to keep, or even paintings. “you may find especially with older sellers, that they may not want to be burdened with removing furniture and will even lower the price for the buyer to keep it in the home,” Oppenheimer says.

Our experts also suggested buyers should be willing to negotiate above the list price. “Far too many first-time buyers walk away from a deal over $1,000 or $2,500, and don’t get the house they really want,” Troxel says. “later on in the process, they realize how they were far too focused on winning the negotiation and being tight with the money.”

Faletti agrees. “all buyers and sellers should forget trying to ‘win’ and keep in mind that this is a negotiation, meaning that there must be give and take on both parties sides,” she says. If people are unwilling to compromise, deals never work. © CTW Features
