Bird Sells Cheap
The staff at Sun Rock Property Management believe there is always a good time to buy, as long as you buy right and have an exit strategy.
There is always opportunity in the real estate market, but in the current dynamic market it takes more savvy to create a profit.
From an investment standpoint, the biggest returns are no longer in higher priced homes which could leverage high appreciation. Wholesale, ‘cheap’ homes, improved and then flipped resold for a high percentage profit are the best way to create a gain.
A friend of Sun Rock, is currently specializing in wholesale properties throughout Pinnelas County, Florida. Blackbird homes is finding deals and getting investors into properties to produce cashflow or high percentage returns on investment.
Here is the link to view available listings with blackbird homes.

The Effect of Record Foreclosures
When you have record numbers of foreclosures like the United States has had over the last few years, you get record numbers of renters.
The most amount of people in history have been losing their homes to foreclosure, when this happens the person:
A. Doesn’t have a place to live
B. Has bad credit
C. Can’t qualify for another mortgage
So where do these people go? Some may have to move in with family, but the majority will be looking for a place to rent.
This means that there are currently a record number of people that are interested in renting a property. This is good news for our property management company, since it makes finding tenants very easy.
In some recent cases, we have had people bidding up properties over the advertised rental price. Once properties are rented, we continue to get tons of phone calls and emails of people trying to find a place or see if we have anything similar.
Owners who can capitalize on this opportunity can increase their cashflow and limit vacancies on their properties.

Rent vs. Buy 2010
The rent vs. buy calculator was traditionally used by realtors and mortgage lenders as a way to show you the benefits of homeownership. These include building equity, getting a tax write-off and appreciation of the property.
These numbers always skew in favor of purchasing a home instead of renting, which is what they want you to do anyway. Buying a home and paying it off in 30 years does make sense financially, but who really does that anymore?
To make an intelligent decision in times like these, you have to go outside the numbers.
Will I live in the property for 30 years?
What is the total cost of ownership of the property?
What if I get transferred or move?
What if I can’t find a tenant or a tenant doesn’t pay?
What if I lose my job?
What if property doesn’t appreciate for the next 15 years?
What repairs/renovations will I have to do?
What if my taxes, insurance and homeowners’ dues increase?
Ask yourself a few of these questions and see if renting might be the right choice for you, right now.

Facebook Marketplace
Word of Mouth is always the best way to market a property. A new application for Facebook users to get the word out about rentals is Facebook Marketplace.
You can post your properties for rent and immediately share them with friends and fans.
This is another great tool to increase cashflow for our owners, by marketing their properties effectively, and at no expense to them.
The listing will help to spread the word about the property through social networks and also rank high on major search engines. Prospective tenants will easily find listings on Facebook Marketplace for searches in the area.
Spending $120 a month on newspaper ads is a thing of the past.
