Market Your Rental Business
Author: fiona
Here are some ideas of how to market your rental business so you can be first in line to select the ideal tenants.
With my 30-plus years of experience in the rental business, in addition to talking to other property owners, I can pass on to you some reliable systems that have worked for me and other landlords in finding good tenants.
One of the first methods I found is this: I made contact with the personnel office at the college. Most colleges and universities have an ever-changing faculty and staff, which means for a landlord the expectation of annual, and ongoing change and new people moving in. As I established a reputation of being a good landlord, I frequently received calls from the college personnel office for a professor or an employee coming into the system.
Secondly, our community is the home office of a large multinational corporation. I contacted their personnel office and told them that I had apartment rentals. Again, my reputation as a good landlord worked for me and many calls came from this company.

Mortgage Insurance for Low-Down-Payment Loans
Author: fiona
Unless you go with a VA loan, the answer is yes. All FHA loans have it. And all conforming loans where the loan amount is greater than 80 percent require it. In other words, on a $100,000 house, if you put less than 20 percent down, you’re probably stuck with paying mortgage insurance.
Mortgage insurance does not protect you. It protects the lender. If you don’t make your payments and the lender has to foreclose on you, the insurance picks up a substantial portion of any loss the lender may incur. That’s why lenders demand it. (That, and the fact that the government requires it!)
Trap-Expect Extra Charges For Mortgage Insurance
PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) is expensive. Expect to pay an additional 1/2 percent in interest for it. However,once you pay your loan down (or your property appreciates) so that your mortgage is less than 80 percent of the value of your property, you can usually get it removed.

It’s important to ensure that your financial obligations are covered in the event of your death. Actually, having a mortgage alone is a pertinent reason to have life insurance. Should you die, that major bill will be paid off and not left to your family to deal with.
The amount of life insurance you need usually depends on factor such as how many dependents you have, your lifestyle, your debt, and your other sources of income. The usual amount is between five and ten times your annual salary.
