Investing in Real Estate to Pay for College



Have you ever considered real estate as a means to save for your kids' college costs? If you start right, real estate investing can pay for a college career many times over.

Real estate investing is a passion of mine. I’ve done quite a bit of it in the past and plan to do some more in the future. Before I became a real estate agent selling residential properties, however, I flipped homes—one year I flipped 23 houses! This gives me a pretty wide range of knowledge about real estate investing, and today I’d like to share with you a unique investing technique that I think every parent or grandparent should consider.
I once had a client who would buy a property for each one of her grandchildren and rent them out. These properties were around $150,000, so they weren’t too expensive, and she would use a property management company to deal with her tenants.
She used all of the money from the rental to pay her mortgage on the property, and after about 15 years, the house was mostly paid off. Not only that, but it had appreciated in value as well! This client was then able to sell that $150,000 house for up to $200,000 and have plenty of money to pay for her grandchild’s college education.

Student loan debt has become a major problem for many people today, and this is a great solution to secure a college education for those you love most.

 Real estate is a fantastic way to invest in your future and build wealth, so if you’d like to learn more about it, I’d like to invite you to attend the introduction to a real estate investing class I’ll be teaching on November 5th from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. It will take place at Keller Williams City View in Training Room A in San Antonio. Stay tuned for more information about this upcoming class soon!

 If you have any questions about investing in real estate to fund your child or grandchild’s college education or anything else related to real estate investing, give me a call or send me an email. I’d be happy to help you!

Increase Curb Appeal on a Budget




Adding curb appeal on a budget can be easier than you think. You don’t have to spend a lot of money to make the front of your house look polished and inviting.

One of the first things you should always do is clean up. Clean those sidewalks, pull weeds, and consider power washing your sidewalks.

Fresh paint around the door can actually add a lot of pop to your property. You especially want your front door and doorframe to look nice. Revisit how your house numbers are displayed on the property. Sometimes repainting them the same color as the doorframe can make them pop.

 Usually, most people don’t pay attention to lighting at the front of the house. Get some more modern light fixtures and make sure they really stand out.

Adding some patio furniture can make your home look very appealing. A couple of cleverly-placed chairs and a table with a flower on it can upgrade your patio while creating a warm, homey feeling.

Other small things you can do include upgrading the mailbox and planting trees, shrubs, or fresh flowers. Plants always make a house look beautiful. If you do plant a few things, be sure to use mulch, the forgiver of all sins. Mulch will make your flowerbeds look beautiful. Also, consider building a bench underneath your tree or installing flower boxes.

Finally, if there are any eyesores on the property, like a big, green electrical box, plant some shrubs around it to keep things looking nice.

If you have any questions, just give me a call or send me an email. I would be happy to help you!
