ALL THINGS REAL ESTATE
Have a care when buying rental properties Q: I’m retiring this month from the Air Force after 29 years of service. My wife and I would like to invest in some residential homes to help augment our retirement income. Using my wife’s IRA and a small inheritance I have, I think we could put down a fair amount of money on a couple of rental homes and probably have a positive cash flow from the start. So with the housing market climbing the way it is, we figure now would be a good time to pick up some houses. My question is a pretty general one: What do we need to know and what should we look out for? Although I have been a tenant many times during my career, I have never been a landlord. A: It’s nice to see someone who is trying to see the big picture before jumping into becoming a landlord. Just to get this out of the way: I can’t advise you about the wisdom of investing in real estate at any particular point in time. If I had that crystal ball, I’d be writing this from atop a mountain in my Italian villa. But just to refresh your memory, a little more than a decade ago people were proving you can indeed lose your financial shirt in real estate if you’re not careful, just like in any other investment. So planning ahead is essential. There are many places to invest your retirement nest egg. But unlike most of them, owning residential real estate requires that you be actively involved with your investments. If you buy a stock, mutual fund or CD, you can invest the money and forget about it if you want to. Not so with a rental property. True, you could get lucky and have some tenants who pay the rent on time, only needing a few reasonable repairs here and
Tim Jones there and who act responsibly. Or you could have the other kind that attorneys who do evictions see day in and day out. And remember, your stock or CD will never sue you. You have no such assurance from your tenant. In other words, being a landlord is not a one-size-fits-all proposition, and certainly isn’t for everyone. So, if you still want to venture into the world of real property investing, here are
a few thoughts gleaned from my 25-plus years in the real estate business. When you are shopping for rental homes, remember the homes are for tenants who may not have the same appreciation for the architecture and appointments you do. I’ve seen many an amateur investor buy a “cute little Victorian” as a rental. Six months later they discover a bad tenant has torn off all the expensive gingerbread, laid waste to the solid wood rope-and-pulley doublehung windows, and broke out the lath-and-plaster walls. The house you buy should be simple in design, fairly modern in construction and relatively cheap to repaint and rebuild.

Flooring should be resilient. Carpets should be on the dark side to hide stains. Cabinets are best if they are paintable. Likewise, landscaping should be simple and easy to care for. That translates into playgroundtough grass in the lawns, and draught-tolerant plants. So now you’ve bought a house,
completed whatever repairs are necessary and you’re ready to find a tenant. Unless you really want to jump into this with both feet, my strong advice is that you hire a professional property management company to find a See Jones, Page 9

How to grow edible perennials, the plants that keep on giving NEVIN MARTELL
they produce densely.” Choose a 3-by-10-foot section of your yard that receives at least four to five hours of sun a day, though six to eight hours is ideal. (My own raspberries failed because they didn’t have enough room or light.) The brambles will naturally fill up the space over time without any extra attention. Expect to harvest them throughout the summer. Generally, raspberries are very low-maintenance; just cut them back in the fall.

SPECIAL TO THE WASHINGTON POST
y backyard is a graveyard, littered with the sad reminders of failed edible perennials. There’s a forlorn square along the western fence that was an attempt at a strawberry bed. A few feet away lies a bit of dead space where I failed to cultivate a rhubarb patch. Out front by our stone walkway languishes a bit of sunny side yard I thought would be the perfect spot for a raspberry bramble. I was wrong. These plants are supposed to be set-it-and-forget-it types – easy to maintain and everbearing. Though I have a green thumb when it comes to my vegetable and herb gardens, edible perennials are clearly my weak spot. My disappoint runs deep. I have a vision of a yard ringed with dependable producers, reliable sources of fruits and vegetables throughout the year to help keep my cooking fresh and interesting. Determined to finally bring my dream into fruition, I turned to four gardening experts to get their insights into what options are best for the Washington, D.C. region, and growing tips to ensure success. Armed with this knowledge, I plan to turn my backyard graveyard into a lively collection of edible perennials – and you can, too.
Sunchokes “When the zombie apocalypse comes, this is going to be the most reliable vegetable in your garden,” says Kathy Jentz, editor of Washington Gardener magazine. The tubers produce prolifically, which is both a pro and a

METRO SERVICES con. Left to their own devices, sunchokes can take over your garden. To avoid this, plant them in a separate bed, preferably away from your others, perhaps along a property line. Along the edges of the bed, insert a root barrier into the ground extending three feet deep. A location receiving full sun is best. Unless there are drought-like conditions, no watering is required. Plan on harvesting in October, then covering the patch with mulch or hay for the winter.
Horseradish
“Just put it in the ground and get out of the way,” says Lincoln Smith, founder of Forested, a forest garden design company. “It’s a perennial for dummies.” Plant horseradish roots in a location receiving full sun. They should be in a separate bed; the fiery herb will run rampant and take over whatever else is growing nearby. Get the ground ready for planting by tilling up the earth about 10 inches deep, removing rocks and mixing
in compost. Horseradish root can be harvested throughout the year, except when the ground is frozen.
Raspberries If you have a sweet tooth and don’t want to do much work, raspberries are a surefire bet, says Meredith Sheperd, founder of Love & Carrots, a garden design and installation company. “They self-pollinate, they produce the first year, and
To succeed with these succulent berries, find a spot in your yard that gets at least eight hours of sun a day. Then consider how much room you can devote to them. “Strawberry beds take off,” says Dominique Charles, founder of Plots and Pans, which specializes in edible gardens and landscapes. “So you need a lot of space or a way to contain them, such as raised beds, stackable strawberry planters or root pouches.” After planting, she fertilizes strawberries with earthworm casings to encourage a hearty harvest, which happens sometime between mid-May to July, depending on the varietal. Water your bed daily until after you’ve gotten all the fruit for the season. Cover the bed with straw for the winter. In spring, once the patch starts growing again, Charles recommends clipping any dead brown matter.

Mortgage rates on the rise
T
he only thing anyone can guarantee is that mortgage rates will change daily. Nobody can accurately predict what mortgage rates will do over the next year but one thing most bankers and Realtors all agree on is 30-year fixed rates below 3% are a thing of the past for now. As I have written about previously, we will never see anything like 2008 again because every buyer has had to qualify for their mortgage over the past 14 years. The government stepped in after

Fear of missing out is fueling the real estate market, and experts are concerned TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE (TNS) — Rising interest rates and higher home prices would normally cool a hot housing market, yet the national and local real estate scenes continue to run red hot. Researchers at the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas are concerned that a fear of missing out, colloquially known as FOMO, is creating a buying snowball effect that may lead to a housing bubble if left unchecked. The current market, where higher prices and other factors are not resulting in a slowdown, is moving away from market fundamentals, they found, suggesting that buyer exuberance, in the form of fear of missing out, is driving the current trend. “The resulting fundamentaldriven higher house prices may have fueled a fear-of-missing-out wave of exuberance involving new investors and more aggressive speculation among existing investors,” said researchers. “Expectations-driven explosive appreciation (often called exuberance) in real house prices has many consequences,” they went onto write, “including the misallocation of economic resources, distorted investment patterns, individual bankruptcies and broad macroeconomic effects on growth and employment.” The paper then described how “this self-fulfilling mechanism leads to price growth that may become exponential (or explosive),” resulting in even greater misalignment, until policymakers intervene, investors become cautious, “or even a bust occurs.” Locally, The market’s momentum is evidenced in astronomical price growth — the median sale price of a home in the tri-county area is $450,000, a 20% increase from the previous year, according to data from RedFin.
Market fundamentals and the housing market
DREAMSTIME/TNS
Nationally, home prices increased 20 percent from February 2021 to February 2022, according to real estate data firm CoreLogic. That sort of sustained run-up creates all sorts of economic fallout, as some buyers stretch their budgets to afford homes and many renters find themselves locked out of homeownership altogether. The biggest area of concern for researchers is how the housing market is diverging from basic market fundamentals like mortgage rates, inventory and income. Researchers used datasets from the International Housing Observatory to find out whether buyer exuberance is playing a role in steep housing prices. From there, they marked what time periods had significant levels of buyer exuberance. Researchers warned that the last time the housing market saw such exuberance was before the crash of 2008. When asked about the trend, Ken H. Johnson, real estate economist at Florida Atlantic University, said, “I think there
are other factors, but this fear of missing out is amongst the most notable. We saw this around 2005 in Miami where people were buying and there was really no financial reason to buy.”
Consumer behavior and high prices When it comes to consumers and their purchase decisions, emotions, either positive or negative, play one of the most important roles, said Dr. Khaled Aboulnasr at Florida Golf Coast University. Emotions can also cloud consumers’ perception when making decisions. “Sometimes if you are unrealistically optimistic or if you have too much fear and anxiety, it may
not let you weigh the true risk of the decision you are making,” added Aboulnasr. Potential buyers have had to watch prices rise and housing availability drop, all while the rental market grew brutal. It all leads to frustration. “At this point, they feel that it is more difficult, especially if you are applying for a mortgage, and they are at such a disadvantage to the cash buyer,” he said. “It becomes a much stronger motivator of behavior.” In other words, it’s tempting to think that if you get a chance at a house, you take it. Additional motivations include missing out on lower mortgage rates, which can make a home more unaffordable as
they rise, as well as the fear of not being able to save up for a home as rents rise. Many buyers have watched as homes they once passed on for being too expensive have become even more expensive, leading them to fear that they may miss out on more equity gains if they wait out the housing market, added Whitney Dutton with the Dutton Group in Fort Lauderdale. “People are less worried about finding that perfect home than they are worried about lose[ing] out,” said Dutton. “They are worried that if they don’t pay this [amount] now is it going to be more over-priced next year.” See Fear, Page 8

ON GARDENING
Aqua blue pots on a hill the ‘peace’ de resistance A qua blue pots in the landscape and staggered on the side of a hill were not my idea, but my bride’s, the person who pops up on my phone as Jan My Love Winter. I have avoided this color like the plague for most of my life. To modify the French phrase, this project was going to be my “peace” de resistance. Jan is a gifted and natural plant groomer when it comes to our mixed containers, so making peace is the goal. The containers have two sections, a lower reservoir for pea gravel and the upper-level for a good lightweight potting soil, which I consider the critical element for all containers and baskets. I was also required to drill drainage holes in the upper-level compartment, and in the bottom. Since the containers were to be staggered on a slope, I decided to wait until they were planted to level up not only with each other but from every angle in the landscape. For this I used wood shims much like you would use for furniture in an old house. Since the pots are so colorful, I wanted a healthy dose of complementary colors. I chose Pyromania Orange Blaze kniphofia or red hot pokers for thriller plants and Superbells Coral Sun calibrachoas for a little echo support. I also used Superbells Grape Punch calibrachoa and Illusion Emerald Lace ornamental sweet potato to contrast and create a mix of contrasting color. Colorful pots positioned out in the landscape also required a little thought to ground planted color. I wanted there to be a tie-in, so I chose several Pyromania Kniphofia called Back Draft to create a visual echo in between the three pots.

Back Draft is a little larger, but both varieties offered a pleasing grassy texture when not in bloom. Pyromania Kniphofias are recommended for the most part from zones 5b to 9b. As you deadhead blooms, you’ll see new bloom stalks developing. Even when not in bloom, the Pyromania Orange Blaze looks regal in my mixed containers. The kniphofias are also called torch lily or red hot poker and their DNA traces back to Africa. The Pyromania series are Kniphofia hybrids reaching 30 to 48 inches tall with a 30-inch spread. As the name suggests, the torch lily is in the lily family and looks like a grass except when it blooms, revealing some of the most beautiful flowers on the planet. These stunning flowers attract an assortment of pollinators including hummingbirds. Sometime last October I tweaked the containers by adding Supertunia Vista Bubblegum petunias and Superbena Whiteout verbena. Shockingly the Superbells Grape Punch calibrachoas planted in spring 2021 survived and now touch the ground after tumbling over the rim of the 36-inch-tall containers. The October-planted Supertunia Vista Bubblegum survived the cold winter and are enormous. There will be grooming challenges for Mrs. Jan, but for now everything is a wow.

Fear From Page 6 The volatile rental market also adds to buyer fear. “There are people who have been renting for a couple years, thinking they were going to rent in the short term until prices came down. Now they think that’s not going to happen,” Dutton added. And as their buying opportunities have withered, landlords have raised rents aggressively — rents have risen upwards of 30% since last year, whereas a fixed-rate mortgage would have been relatively stable.
Will this lead to another housing bubble? Though 2008 saw a bust, both nationally and locally, market forces are a bit different today. If any market correction should happen, Dallas researcher said, it won’t be of the magnitude of the last crash, mainly because the forces behind today’s market include low inventory, rather than excessive borrowing. Florida Atlantic University researchers previously said that buying in the current boom could prove to be a risky
decision, as homebuyers are potentially buying near the peak of the market, and it could take years before they see a return on their investment. And it’s unlikely that a bust will happen in this current housing market for South Florida, though prices will eventually start to trend back to normal, said Ken H. Johnson, real estate economist with Florida Atlantic University. “Some cities will fare differently,” he said. “If you live in an inventory shortage and expected population growth,” he said in describing South Florida, “I don’t think you will see a housing crash.” Of their work indicating exuberance driving an imbalanced market, Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas economist Enrique Martinez Garcia made a medical analogy. “The chances of providing a full remedy and minimize the impact on the patient are better when you are able to detect signs of the problem quickly and act earlier. Our base scenario would be, therefore, that greater awareness of the risk of unsustainable price growth can contribute to investors becoming more cautious about the prospects of continued price growth at the current rates.”
Porter From Page 5 so much over the past four years that most folks have 20% to 30% equity in their homes now so if market values were to go down by 5% to 10%, folks will be able to escape by selling and moving down or out before they lose their home. I doubt home prices will go down, but affordability and qualifying are already affecting the market. The best way to explain this is by sharing with our readers the difference between 3% and 5%. Let’s look at a sales price of $750,000 with 20% down. The $600,000 loan on a 30-year fixed rate at 3% was $2,529 per month a year ago and at 5% today is $3,221 – or $692 higher. This
higher payment may cause some buyers who are considering selling the starter home they bought over the past 12 years and move up to their forever home to stay put for a while because many of them refinanced over the past two years and now have a rate below 3%. The key to this move-up decision is how recession-proof the buyer is on their job and the stability of their income. The benefit of selling the departing residence now and moving up now rather than later is the demand for affordable houses between $450,000 and $600,000 is off the charts today, and although affordability is an issue for first-time homebuyers, there are still way more first-time buyers than there are sellers today. The market needs more homes for sale and starter homes
are getting multiple offers. Buyers are willing to rent back and allow the seller to stay in their home for a month or two after the close of escrow so the seller can use the sale proceeds to close on their forever home. If you or your children are ready to sell their small home and move up to their forever home, a 5% rate shouldn’t scare you or them because historically over the past 40 years, 5% ain’t too shabby.

least a year, probably two, if you plant mature asparagus roots, known as crowns. (It’ll be three years before a harvest if you plant seeds.) “But then they’re set it and forget it,” Charles says. “All you have to do is weed them and eat them.” For optimal growth, asparagus require at least eight hours a day of sunlight. Generally, asparagus can be sowed directly into ground; no raised bed is required unless you have extremely acidic soil. Simply dig a six-inch trench and lay the crowns at the bottom. Don’t crowd the bed. Leave 18 inches between each crown and a foot between each row. Water asparagus daily, but don’t overwater, which can rot the roots and destroy your bed.

Rhubarb The vegetable that most people think is a fruit isn’t a slam dunk in this region, which is often too hot. However, some gardeners do experience serious success, reaping plenty of stalks for pies, crumbles, jams and more. Consider rhubarb one of those plants requiring a little luck to flourish. For the best chance of success, place a few roots in a six-foot square plot that gets a full day’s worth of sun. Over time, the plants will divide and fill the area. They require

METRO SERVICES little maintenance; just keep them weeded and lightly fertilize them in spring. Rhubarb is a waiting game. “I wouldn’t touch it the first year. The second year you might be able to harvest a few stalks,” Sheperd says. “The third year you should be good to go with a full harvest from late spring until later in the summer.”
Blueberries Unless you have a large yard with lots of extra space, dwarf highbush blueberry plants are best, because they grow about one to two feet high and equally wide. Many are bred for container gardening, making them ideal for patios and porches. But at a minimum, pay them to help you find your first couple of tenants. The difference in your personal life between a good tenant and a bad one can be the difference between going on tropical vacations or bankruptcy.

You’ll need at least two plants, so they can cross-pollinate, although more is recommended to guarantee a sizable berry yield. Plan on harvesting blueberries later in summer, usually July and August. To ensure you don’t lose too many berries to neighborhood critters, cover the plants with netting. “But check the netting every morning and evening to make sure a little songbird or snake didn’t get snarled in it,” Jentz says. Before winter, mulch the bushes. At some point during the cold-weather months, prune them to remove dead and damaged branches. When spring arrives, use a fertilizer designed for acid-loving plants. books for landlords.
