A land Trust is a variation of a living trust that actually converts an interest or ownership of a real estate property into a beneficiary or beneficiaries through a trustee.

In a land trust, there are three major players, grantor(s), trustee, and beneficiary(s). The grantor converts the ownership or interest of a real estate property under the land trust through a trustee. The trustee acts on behalf of the beneficiaries of the trust. The beneficiaries receive the interest or ownership of the subject property. But, the beneficiaries are the “invisible” owners of the property.

The grantor can also be one of the beneficiaries. As the grantor(s), you can name anyone to be your beneficiaries, which include yourself. Read more

In my previous blog, I talked about three main reasons why home sales fall apart. Unqualified buyer is one of them.

Most of the time, home sellers accepted offers without asking the question if the homebuyer is qualified or not. Then, the home seller only found out several weeks later that the homebuyer couldn’t get the mortgage loan. In this case, you not only have to let the buyer back off, but also have to refund the earnest money to the homebuyer.

In above case, seller didn’t check if the buyer was qualified. But, here is a seller who did ask the homebuyer’s pre-qualified letter from a lender. Later the home sale still fell apart because the homebuyer couldn’t get the loan approved. Why this happens? Read more

There has been bad news everywhere in housing market in US last few months. It has been causing huge anxiety among the homeowners. A lot of people just wonder whether they should sell their homes or not.

For last two months, I have been posting many guides and tips on how sell your home fast and get maximum of your money. This time I'm going to give another important advice on home selling, that is not to sell. You should buy low, rent out, and hold for longterm. Smart buying is also an important technique of home selling.

If you only have one property and are able to pay your mortgage payments, or you don’t have to sell your home now, then just don’t sell it because you have fears on the falling housing market.

If you have more than one property, you should weight the other options, such as rent it out, or sell it with lease options. If your monthly payment is too high and you have negative cash flow after deducting the rental incomes, you should consider refinance the mortgage into much longer term with a fixed interest rate, such as from 15 years to 30 years term to reduce the monthly payment.

I’m telling you not only not to sell, but also to buy more properties now. You may think I'm crazy.  No. I am not.Here are some reasons why you should not sell your properties right now if you don’t have to, and instead even buy more: Read more
