You can create your own design to give your house a  more individual touch. All that you should do is find excellent home  builders to turn your dream house into reality.</p>

You may  begin planning what each of you would like for your rooms. The planning  portion of transferring homes is a nice bonding time for the household.  The stress, however, comes in once you begin looking into more  significant concerns. Here are a few things you need to check out during  planning.</p>
<p>Starting With A Budget Plan</p>
<p>You need to know  first how much you are ready to put aside for the project. By doing  this, you can prevent spending a lot on lavish items. You ought to  secure what you could pay for the structure itself and not center on  what you would have inside. Once you have a set budget for the whole  project, you may start thinking about the interior. You shouldn&#8217;t start  the project unless you have chosen one from a list of prospective house  designs. In Perth, a lot of families select home builders which also  ensure interior work.</p>
<p>Picking out the Location</p>
<p>What is the  use of possessing a great home if your house is not inside a great  neighborhood? Be sure you purchase property from freshly developed  communities or from areas with great evaluations. Ensure the welfare of  your loved ones first before anything else. The area have to provide a  good environment and present a chance for a much healthier lifestyle.</p>
<p>Developing A Custom-made Design</p>
<p>Uniqueness  is a thing many people wish to attain. Ordinarily, many people create  house designs symbolizing their personality. People have their very own  quirks they would like to incorporate with the style of their house.  When customizing a house style, make sure it is realistic and achievable  using your organized spending budget.</p>
<p>Selecting the most appropriate Developer</p>
<p>The  success of your project could also depend on the quality of work out of  your picked contractor. Don&#8217;t rush into making deals with any kind of  development company. Pick from a set of home builders and compare the  advantages you could get from every one of them. Recommendations are a  great proof of the company&#8217;s work quality so make sure you get them from  trustworthy sources.</p>
<p>Documentation</p>
<p>You need to get  everything in writing. It is important you have a written proof of the  deal to protect yourself from sudden charges or future conflicts. The  legal side of the project may cause headache if you do not keep track of  important things. Before signing anything, make sure you read the  agreement thoroughly. It is wiser to have a legal representative when  dealing with contracts.</p>
<p>Do a research online for companies  offering affordable deals on home development. If you are lucky, you may  find quality home builders that can help you create the perfect home  for you.</p>

<p><a href="http://t2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSTk5MowSXQc3daE2-uwUwNzvAgzLXegbGwnSJPWY7SYvx0Cyvn"><img class="alignleft" src="http://t2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSTk5MowSXQc3daE2-uwUwNzvAgzLXegbGwnSJPWY7SYvx0Cyvn" alt="" width="299" height="168" /></a>One of the most important parts of being a landlord is dealing  with tenants. From the beginning of your relationship with them, your  regulations and expectations should be covered in a tenancy agreement  backed by Alberta laws. If tenants violate significant areas of your  agreement, you may need to evict them. Here is an outline of the major  portions of a rental agreement, as well as steps that can be taken  toward eviction.</p>
<p>According to Calgary Residential Rental  Association president Gerry Baxter, landlords need to review lease  agreements with potential tenants in a personal meeting. Baxter said  that most tenants do not bother to read the agreement, so you need to  ensure that every aspect of the document is understood and agreed to by  the tenant. The renter must actually sign the agreement, so you are  legally covered in case the tenant claims to be unaware of the  conditions of his or her lease,</p>
<p>The CRRA makes a boilerplate lease  agreement available to member landlords, but there are additional lease  components that may be added. For example, if you do not want smoking  in your property, you must add a clause to the agreement. If you wish to  prohibit pets, or limit pets to certain breeds or weights, you must  also include the appropriate language in the agreement.</p>
<p>Should you  discover that your property reeks of cigarette smoke, or has been  damaged by your tenant&#8217;s large dog, you can terminate the tenancy. You  can make an application to the Residential Tenancy Dispute Resolution  Service, an organization whose sole purpose is to settle tenant  problems. The RTDRS has the quasi-judicial power to enforce decisions on  claims with a value to $25,000.</p>
<p>For potentially damaging  conditions such as permitting pets or smoking on your property, Alberta  law allows you to impose a fee, non-refundable, that is equal to one  month&#8217;s rent. This fee may be imposed in addition to your agreement&#8217;s  damage deposit. This deposit also equals one month&#8217;s rent.</p>
<p>There  is a quick resolution available if you have a tenant that causes serious  trouble. Should the tenant incur significant damage to your property,  or if he or she physically attacks you or another person, you have the  option to serve the tenant with a 24-hour notice of eviction. To be  effective, the notice will have to be in writing and you or your agent  must sign it. The notice must provide the reason why the eviction is  taking place, and it must contain the exact date and time that the  eviction will occur.</p>
<p>For offences that are more minor yet still  significant, you can evict the tenant by going to the RTDRS or to court,  and have the tenant served with a two-week notice of eviction. This  notice must contain the same information that is part of the more  immediate notice. Although an eviction can take place, a tenant may be  able to appeal the eviction. Should this happen, you must provide  documentation of the violations and complaints that have occurred. Lease  agreement copies as well as the affidavit must also be filed.</p>
<p>There  may still be delays in forcing out undesirable tenants, however. If a  tenant appeals the 14-day notice, the case must be heard in court. Even  if you win against the tenant, the tenant may decide, however  incorrectly, to remain in your property. Again, you will have to go to  court to obtain an order of possession. When the order is served upon  the tenant, the tenant has another two weeks in which to pack up and  depart. It is suggested that if you must get an order of possession in  court, you should also obtain a judgment against the tenant for any back  rent owed, as well as legal fees you incurred in evicting him or her.</p>

<p><a href="http://t3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQH_3g1SKS-E-3mhGeuGpqrzD6yl8XfaYROVPmEnqlZkdBAkpGl"><img class="alignleft" src="http://t3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQH_3g1SKS-E-3mhGeuGpqrzD6yl8XfaYROVPmEnqlZkdBAkpGl" alt="" width="274" height="184" /></a>Nothing can be achieved successfully without research, and the  same goes for investing in property as well; start by doing some  research. Attend a seminar, join a property club, and just gain as much  information as you can regarding property investments. This will make  sure that you spot profitable opportunities where properties you invest  will never make you lose money (hopefully!). Look over the factors that  matter the most in property investments and the techniques that you will  apply. You will also keep yourself updated over economic trends so your  choices can be well informed about the future ups and downs. Have a  look at properties that are close to emerging as well.</p>
<p>Your goals  should be set and your financial resources should be organized. You will  not only hunt for profitable properties but also set your goals,  expectations of profits, and keep a check on financial resources. The  type of property you will invest in will highly depend on how much you  can invest. Generally, investing in an expensive property will also get  you higher profits; however, making investments in smaller properties  can also get you good profits. Determine whether you will go for long  term investments or short term. This will again depend on the type of  property you choose and the strategy you have for exit.</p>
<p>Now you  have to decide the kind of property you are looking to invest in.  Inexperienced investors can find this task harder. Basically there are  two types of properties; commercial and residential. If you are looking  for flexibility in investment, residential property is the best; but, if  you are looking for higher profits and can invest higher amount as  well; commercial property will work better.</p>
<p>People also invest in  overseas property but this brings a higher risk factor along but this  again can get you higher profits. Another popular option is the below  market value or BMV properties; they require lower investment but can  result in higher returns. Therefore, you have to choose the type of  property you plan to invest in wisely.</p>
<p>Lastly, remember the  location. Many investors consider the location to be the most important  factor when investing in property. Regardless of how excellent the  property may be but if the location is bad; this will most probably give  you a loss on your investment. At the same time, a good location can  make bad property sites give high profits most of the times.</p>

alt="" width="251" height="201" /></a>If you are one of the many real estate agents who worry about  your future, then you should start rethinking other markets to pursue.  Selling alone, is not ideal in today&#8217;s market because of the many  sellers in the market with very few buyers. And even if you make a sale,  the earning would not be as satisfactory as it was in the past. This is  why you should start looking into other opportunities.</p>
<p><strong>What is an REO?</strong></p>
<p>This  is an abbreviation for<em> Real Estate Owned</em>, which is another term for  bank owned properties. These are the properties repossessed by the  sellers because the borrowers failed to settle their obligations, which  ultimately lead to home foreclosure.</p>
<p>You may have read about this  in a real estate blog as the next big thing. Why, you might ask. Well,  the answer is simple, the number of REO properties have risen in the  last couple of years. Collecting foreclosed properties is not good for  lending companies and banks because they do not earn anything from them.  This would even lead to additional expenses on their part. In order to  convert these properties to profit-generating assets, they need the help  of real estate agents. The chosen agents will not only be hired to sell  the properties. They are also expected to render other services that  the lenders will deem necessary. Such additional services are paid,  which means more opportunities for earnings.</p>
<p><strong>How to earn from REO properties?</strong></p>
<p>Lenders  will need a lot of help to deal with their REO properties. A  subscription to an REO blog may be helpful but it will not replace what  an excellent REO agent can do. One of the things that the lender will  need is a BPO or the Broker&#8217;s Price Opinion. This is different from an  appraisal as the delivery of the report is faster. The real estate agent  will look into the area where the property is located. Other factors  like the property&#8217;s features and overall appeal will be considered as  well. After the analysis, the agent shall determine the market value of  the property.</p>
<p>Maintaining the properties are also great ways to  earn from REOs. However, it is essential that the agents have the skills  to properly maintain the property or has a strong network of people who  will be responsible for the up keep of the properties. More things will  be needed from the agents. There is no need to worry though. Everything  you need to know to be the best REO agent and earn promising amount  from this market is available in the book, REO Boom.</p>
<p><strong>The REO Boom:</strong></p>
<p>This  is a book written by Aram and Tim Shah. Both have benefited from the  opportunities presented by REO properties for the last decade. The book  allows them to share their secrets to success, consequently, helping  other agents earn more even in this type of market.</p>
<p>This book can  help an agent learn about how to become an REO listing agent. Becoming a  certified listing agent gives him access REO property and lender  information, which is a key for success in REO market.</p>
<p>There are a  lot of opportunities in REO that are just waiting to be exploited.  Invest in a copy of the REO Boom and start earning the amount you didn&#8217;t  think possible in this type of market.</p>

From choosing design options to financing, there  are a lot of decisions to be made before you can become a homeowner.  Many first time buyers are discovering the many advantages of building a  customized modular home. If you are considering buying your first home,  there are three reasons a modular home may be the best choice for you.</p>
<p><strong>1. Quality: </strong>Modular  homes are built off-site in a climate controlled factory. They are  about 85% complete when they are transferred to the home site. There are  multiple inspections throughout the construction process to ensure that  your home is built to the highest of standards. These homes meet or  exceed all federal, state, and local regulation codes. Because they must  be constructed to withstand travel, they are highly durable as well.</p>
<p>The  modular homes of today are not the manufactured homes of the past. They  are quality built homes that are constructed with 30% more lumber, more  glue and more nails than traditional homes. You can be sure that your  modular home is safe, sturdy home that will stay strong and beautiful  for many years to come.</p>
<p><strong>2. Affordable: </strong>You will  be amazed at how much house you ge<a href="http://t3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTnTCNQhmqoGsR95ARhBZHit4IC-g5QYJdfDxvp_RvCVUht-NnXS8qQtA"><img class="alignright" src="http://t3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTnTCNQhmqoGsR95ARhBZHit4IC-g5QYJdfDxvp_RvCVUht-NnXS8qQtA" alt="" width="133" height="99" /></a>t for the price. There are a number of  reasons that modular homes are so affordable. Because they are built in  an off site factory, you do not need to worry about theft or vandalism  to your supplies. All of the lumber and equipment is safely housed and  inaccessible to the public. The manufacturer is able to buy supplies and  materials in bulk, saving the home buyer a substantial amount of money.  Shorter construction times also result in savings to the consumer.</p>
<p><strong>3.</strong> <strong>Customizable:</strong> There are hundreds of floor plans available to ensure that you find the  home layout that will make the most sense for your family. You can  choose a two-story or one-story home with a variety of styles and  choices for exterior treatments. Porches and garages are popular  additions that customize your home and enhance its functionality and  appearance.</p>
<p>When designing your home, you will need to choose a  foundation system. Modular homes can be built on a slab, crawl space, or  basement. There are advantages and disadvantages to all options. Your  builder will help you choose the option that will fit your budget and  benefit your family the most.</p>
<p>One of the best things about buying a  modular home is the ability to customize the interior of your home so  that it makes sense for your family&#8217;s lifestyle. From gourmet kitchens  to walk-in tubs and energy efficient appliances, you can truly design  your dream home. The manufacturer that you work with will be able to  inform you of all of the various options available to you and help you  make choices that will stay within your budget.</p>
<p>If you are buying  your first home, visit a reputable modular home builder for more  information. You may be pleasantly surprised at how affordable a  quality, custom home can be.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[With creative real estate investing, you can make money from property in ways which are quite different from the conventional routine of getting a mortgage in order to purchase a house and then selling it when you get a right price for it. The most important thing to note about creative real estate investing is that it does not generally carry the negative connotations. One of the primary examples of this kind of investing is an option. This works in am identical manner to options employed for less tangible financial assets like stocks.]]></description>

alt="" width="267" height="188" /></a>With creative real estate investing, you can make money from  property in ways which are quite different from the conventional routine  of getting a mortgage in order to purchase a house and then selling it  when you get a right price for it.</p>
<p>The most important thing to  note about creative real estate investing is that it does not generally  carry the negative connotations. One of the primary examples of this  kind of investing is an option. This works in an identical manner to  options employed for less tangible financial assets like stocks.</p>
<p>When  dealing with an option, there is an involvement of an agent and  property owner. As a property owner, you sell the right to purchase a  house on or before the deadline at a set price. The purchaser of such an  option would hope that there is going to be an increase in the market  prices before the deadline arrives, giving him an opportunity to conduct  the option and then instantly sell the house to book a profit. If you  happen to be the seller of the option, you are at risk of missing out on  a bigger price.</p>
<p>On the other side of the coin, wholesaling is all  about purchasing three or four properties at a time and then selling it  once the market condition is in your favor. For this purpose, you may  need to get involved in the bulk buying houses that financial  institution has got through foreclosure. After buying it in bulk, you  need to sell these houses on an individual basis at a low price. In such  scenario, you will find that the individual sale price is going to be  lot less than the current market value. As a wholesaler, your profit is  going to come from the fact that the financial institution will have  approved an even lower price to give discount for bulk buying.</p>
<p>Another  common source of creative real estate investing are tax liens. The  whole concept is based on the fact that a county government has a power  to automatically get an interest in a property, widely been regarded as a  lien, if the property holder does not able to pay property taxes on  time. Number of counties will sell such liens to investors. From that  moment onward, the investor gets a right to get the outstanding tax  money in addition to interest, along with the possibility that homeowner  may not be able to pay.</p>

<div id="article-content">
<p><a href="http://t2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQ0NcyzishL14nOhe0BgnmM0BEkhSmN6Czpp2VUH7oe2PSrdSCtGh1unyBlwg"><img class="alignleft" src="http://t2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQ0NcyzishL14nOhe0BgnmM0BEkhSmN6Czpp2VUH7oe2PSrdSCtGh1unyBlwg" alt="" width="216" height="157" /></a>Whenever we&#8217;d rent a car my dad would always skip the insurance,  saying it was a scam. Then one winter, he had to take our SUV to the  shop. The rental SUV he backed into a dumpster. Damage: $1200. Was it  more than all of his passed-up insurances? Probably. Did he learn his  lesson? No. There are many kinds of insurance out there. It may seem  like a lot to pay while you&#8217;re paying it, but when something goes wrong,  you&#8217;ll be glad you did.</p>
<p>Not all kinds of insurance protect  against a future event. Title insurance, for example, can protect  against the title of your property. If there is a fraudulent act that  surfaces after you have bought your home, title insurance protects  against it. There are all kinds of problems a property may have, from a  forged mortgage to impersonation of owners by frauds, and title  insurance will help keep your property yours, and any possible legal  repercussions out of your backyard, so to speak.</p>
<p>Other kinds of  insurance are just as obvious as the one my father chose to ignore.  Builders risk insurance, general contractor insurance, product liability  insurance, commercial auto insurance, the list goes on and on.  Typically the more money you make, the more assets you have and the more  responsible you are, which means the more kinds of insurance you need.</p>
<p>A  lot can go wrong on a big project involving many people and lots of  machines. It would be terrible to forego insurance only to wind up with a  stalled project and a big lawsuit. Depending on what kind of insurance  you get and what it covers, you won&#8217;t have to worry about any of that.</p>
<p>If  you&#8217;re building a house or a commercial property, you need builders  risk insurance. This kind of insurance is a bit easier to understand &#8211;  it&#8217;s all in the name. The builder is at risk if any of the materials or  equipment go missing or are damaged. Builders risk insurance protects  against fire, storm damage, or vandalism. It&#8217;s important to obtain if  you are a building owner or if you are a general contractor and it&#8217;s in  the contract that you are responsible for it.</p>
<p>In general, if  someone offers you insurance, it&#8217;s a good idea to take advantage. If  something bad happens, chances are it&#8217;ll cost a lot more than the  insurance did in the first place. I&#8217;d hope you learn a lesson, but some  people, ahem, never do.</p>

alt="" width="274" height="184" /></a>Buying a home can be exhilarating&#8230;owning a home can be  exciting. Investing in your own home is smart, too, for a number of  reasons. For most of us, the financial investment is a considerable one.  I haven&#8217;t heard of too many homes being given away lately, have you? So  what can the prudent home-buyer do to protect that substantial  investment? What does it mean to &#8220;protect your investment?&#8221;</p>
<p>1)  First, you should arrange for the services of a professional Home  Inspector to inspect the home prior to your purchase so that you know  the physical condition of the property. I am often surprised at just how  little time a prospective buyer, who is already under contract to  purchase the property, has actually spent at the property. I have stated  before that a Home Inspector is paid to be suspicious even when there  is nothing particular to be suspicious about&#8230;and that&#8217;s what you need  prior to plunking down a significant amount of money for that new  home&#8230;someone who is suspicious and someone who is not &#8220;in love&#8221; with  that beautiful new home. A professional Home Inspection will provide you  with valuable insight as to the physical condition of the property  without emphasis on the floor plan of the house or the colors of the  interior walls or of the condition of the wall-to-wall carpet. Having a  Home Inspection will be mostly invaluable to you in your purchasing  decision because the Inspection Report will identify areas of concern  that you may not have yet considered. Is there any indication of damage  from past plumbing leaks? What about from roof leakage? Are there any  obvious electrical hazards present that need to be corrected? Is that  garage overhead door operating safely? The Home Inspector should also  teach you a bit about the home because homes don&#8217;t generally come with  Owners Manuals. Where is that main water shut-off valve located in case  you were to have to turn off the water&#8230; right now? What is the most  efficient way to operate the heat pump system?</p>
<p>2) So now you&#8217;ve  made a really good and informed purchase&#8230;you&#8217;ve signed on the dotted  line and you&#8217;re the home-owner. Not a home-owner&#8230; THE Homeowner. It&#8217;s  yours. It&#8217;s your baby! Not just part of it but the whole enchilada. Your  perspective of how to protect your investment has just changed. Now,  you have to maintain the <a href="http://t2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRQao4H5C-kKiXYGAZOi68_cmvefIWjy8624ip1fpcIpeetVSeF5kH_SJ1H"><img class="alignright" src="http://t2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRQao4H5C-kKiXYGAZOi68_cmvefIWjy8624ip1fpcIpeetVSeF5kH_SJ1H" alt="" width="243" height="155" /></a>home and do everything that you can to make  sure it&#8217;s value is maintained. And that&#8217;s a tall order and one that is  often taken lightly or outright misunderstood. The maintenance of a home  requires a significant general commitment as well as considerable  expenditures of both time and money. Home Inspectors routinely report on  various conditions that are quite costly to correct and, often, these  issues could have been prevented with a good maintenance plan and some  affirmative action. Anything to do with water is a recurring and  prominent theme with a home. Keeping the exterior in a well maintained  condition is important&#8230;the siding and wood trim need to be  periodically prepared and painted to prevent deterioration. Plumbing  leaks, and roof leaks, need to be discovered as quickly as possible to  prevent damage&#8230;there&#8217;s that water &#8220;thingy&#8221; again.</p>
<p>And what&#8217;s  going on in those spaces of the home&#8230;those places into which most  people rarely venture. What&#8217;s happening in that crawl space or attic  space? You need to know what&#8217;s happening, and to know, you have to go  there or have someone else check it out for you. Having your cooling and  heating systems serviced is important to their well-being and to their  longevity. And the list goes on.</p>
<p>3) At some time in the future,  you are going to decide you want to sell your home. Maybe you need to  upgrade to larger spaces or maybe you&#8217;re in need of down-sizing.  Irrespective of your motivations, you&#8217;ll want to be able to fetch the  most amount of money that the market will bear. Right? So pay attention  to the way the home looks. Pay attention to how it presents itself. Drag  out that dusty ole&#8217; home-buyers hat, put it on, go out to the street,  and take a good long, hard and unbiased look at your home. Walk around  the exterior. What do you see? Do you see well-manicured shrubbery or  scraggly bushes brushing up against the exterior walls? Do you see  blinds hanging askew in the windows? Do you see &#8220;stuff&#8221; around the  perimeter of the exterior? While a Home Inspector doesn&#8217;t pay too much  attention to cosmetic items, you can bet your hard-earned money that  your prospective buyers are doing just that. Do you remember how the  home looked the first time you saw it? So spruce up the exterior. Clean  and tidy up the interior. Know that, just as you did, your prospective  buyer will form a first impression and that you want that first  impression to be a positive one.</p>
<p>Protecting your investment begins  with your due diligence prior to purchase and doesn&#8217;t end until you  have sold your investment for the fair price that you deserve.  Hopefully, with some knowledge, forethought, and a good maintenance  plan, that price will be one that is profitable for you.</p>

<p>The proper rental property in<a href="http://t2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQvXzJGOONU0FMUUJKPhwlzceHkKyD6AKer364U5rR1dYEKSpWs"><img class="alignleft" src="http://t2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQvXzJGOONU0FMUUJKPhwlzceHkKyD6AKer364U5rR1dYEKSpWs" alt="" width="241" height="144" /></a>surance coverage can protect you  from losses caused by many dangers, including fire, storms, burglary,  and vandalism. A comprehensive policy also includes liability insurance,  covering injuries or losses suffered by others as the result of  defective or dangerous conditions on the property. Liability insurance  also covers the legal costs of defending personal injury lawsuits &#8211; a  valuable feature because the legal defense costs of these cases are  commonly much greater than the ultimate award of damages, if any.</p>
<p><strong>Common coverage&#8217;s</strong></p>
<p>The  following list describes the three levels of coverage available for  primary policies, all of which include liability coverage. Many  insurance companies offer competitive insurance packages especially  designed to meet the needs of rental property owners, so remember to  shop around.</p>
<p>Basic coverage: Most companies offer a basic coverage  package that insures your investment rental property against loss from  fire, lightning, explosion, windstorm or hail, smoke, aircraft or  vehicles, riot or civil commotion, vandalism, sprinkler leakage, and  even volcanic eruptions.</p>
<p>This coverage often doesn&#8217;t include  certain contents, such as boilers, equipment, and machinery unless  specifically added as an endorsement. Based on the type of property you  have, you may need to consult with your insurance agent about additional  coverage that may be beneficial.</p>
<p>But just because you own a small  retail strip center with a couple of plate glass windows doesn&#8217;t mean  you need to have the special coverage that&#8217;s offered. Insurance  companies often have minimum policy premiums, so certain insurable items  and acts aren&#8217;t worth insuring because the potential for a claim is  minimal and the costs are high.</p>
<p><strong>Broad-form coverage:</strong> You get the basic package, plus protection against losses of glass  breakage, falling objects, weight of snow or ice, water damage  associated with plumbing problems, and collapse from certain specific  causes.</p>
<p><strong>Special form:</strong> This coverage is the  broadest available and covers your property against all losses, except  those specifically excluded from the policy. It offers the highest level  of protection but is typically more expensive.</p>
<p><strong>An insurance company can pay owners for losses in two ways:</strong></p>
<p><strong>Actual cash value:</strong> The coverage pays the cost of replacing property less physical  depreciation. The standard policies most insurance companies offer  provide for actual cash value coverage only.</p>
<p><strong>Replacement cost:</strong> This coverage pays the cost of replacing the property without  subtracting for physical depreciation. You must specifically have an  endorsement and pay extra for replacement cost coverage. However, we do  encourage you to purchase it.</p>
<p>As with homeowners&#8217; insurance  policies, the location, age, type, and quality of construction of your  property are significant factors in determining your insurance premiums.  Be sure to get an insurance estimate before you buy your property to  avoid unpleasant surprises (older properties with wood shake shingles  located away from fire protection may not even be insurable, for  example) and realize the benefits of lower risk properties. For example,  newer commercial buildings, and even some residential proper- ties,  were constructed with fire sprinklers and alarms that reduce your  insurance premiums &#8211; so do as monitored intrusion alarms).</p>
<p>Some  insurance companies have a coinsurance clause that requires rental  property owners to carry a minimum amount of cove<a href="http://t3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRlk_R9MT-o5GQmYbP2gn3DVjoCEcfcdF2jyrpxa4XbXT-eYSU62ntGOYM"><img class="alignright" src="http://t3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRlk_R9MT-o5GQmYbP2gn3DVjoCEcfcdF2jyrpxa4XbXT-eYSU62ntGOYM" alt="" width="237" height="145" /></a>rage. If you carry less  than the minimum amount of coverage, the insurance company imposes a  coinsurance penalty that reduces the payment on the loss by the same  percentage of the insurance shortfall. For example, if you carry only $1  million in coverage when you should have $2 million, you&#8217;re only  carrying 50 percent of the minimum required insured value. If the  building suffers a loss, the insurance company pays only 50 percent of  the loss.</p>
<p>Many rental property owners first become investors by  renting out their former personal residences when they buy new homes.  They may not realize they should immediately contact their insurance  agent and have their home- owners policy converted to a landlord&#8217;s  policy, which contains special cover- age riders that aren&#8217;t in the  typical homeowner&#8217;s policy. Because of the increased liability risk for  rental properties, some insurance companies may not even offer this  coverage, whereas others specialize in this business. Either way, obtain  proper landlord&#8217;s coverage for your rental property, or you may face  the possibility of having your claim denied.</p>
<p><strong>If you own multiple investment or rental properties, consider</strong></p>
<p>A  single insurance policy that covers all locations: Rather than have  separate policies for each rental property, you can get better coverage  with a single policy. For example, if you currently have three  properties each with a $1 million policy, you could get a single policy  with a $3 mil- lion limit at a more competitive cost.</p>
<p>An aggregate  deductible: An aggregate deductible is the portion of your loss that  you essentially self-insure, because the losses at any of your three  properties can go toward meeting the aggregate deductible.</p>
<p><strong>Excess liability (umbrella) coverage</strong></p>
<p>Excess  liability (umbrella) coverage can be a cost-effective way to  dramatically increase your liability protection and is designed to  supplement your main or basic policies. An umbrella policy provides both  additional and broader coverage beyond the limits of the basic  commercial general liability insurance and other liability coverage and  this coverage is only available after the primary policy limits have  been exhausted.</p>
<p>Your primary policy may have liability limits of  $500,000 or $1 million, but an umbrella policy can provide an additional  $1 million in vital coverage at a cost of $2,000 to $4,000 per year.  Depending on the value of your property and the value of the assets  you&#8217;re seeking to protect, buying an umbrella liability policy with  higher limits may make sense. Umbrella policies are avail- able in  increments of $1 million with even lower rates per dollar of coverage as  the limits go higher. The most common umbrella coverage amount for the  owners of large investment properties now is $5 million at an annual  cost of approximately $7,500 to $12,000.</p>
<p>Purchase your umbrella  policy from the same company that handles your underlying primary  liability insurance package. The reason: If you have two different  insurers rather than just one, the companies may have different agendas  if legal problems arise.</p>

<p><a href="http://t1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTY_B0VWbc1LAQHOtv6POqPftgNDNyHj9LhExFp-shF8is-f3Sksg"><img class="alignleft" src="http://t1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTY_B0VWbc1LAQHOtv6POqPftgNDNyHj9LhExFp-shF8is-f3Sksg" alt="" width="189" height="145" /></a>Many renters simply sign their apartment lease without reading  the agreement in its entirety. We suggest that you understand the  contract before you go ahead and sign on the dotted line. We have listed  some terms that you will no doubt come across as you read your lease.</p>
<p>Please  know that this in NOT legal advice. If you have specific questions  about your lease, be sure and seek the services of an attorney. If you  don&#8217;t want to pay their high fees, you might be able to consult a local  bar association for a reduced rate. You might even qualify for  discounted services.</p>
<p><strong>The Conditions</strong></p>
<p>This will include the  rental amount that the tenant will need to pay by a certain date.  Usually if one party to the lease does not meet all of the conditions,  the other party may be able to seek unspecified damages.</p>
<p><strong>Guarantor</strong></p>
<p>A  guarantor is different than a co-signer. The guarantor is a party no on  the apartment lease who will be responsible for paying the rent if the  tenants cannot or will not. Usually the guarantor must make up to 5  times the rental amount per month. This guarantor usually will be needed  if the original applicant does not meet the monetary requirements.</p>
<p><strong>Wear and Tear</strong></p>
<p>This  pertains to the tenant receiving the security deposit refund. If the  tenant moves out and there is &#8220;reasonable wear and tear&#8221;, they should be  able to receive their money back in full. But this term does not mean  much as it is not very specified. Its always a help if the tenant can  take photos when they move in the community. This helps to document any  damage if the landlord decides to withhold part or all of the deposit.</p>
<p><strong>Assignment of Lease</strong></p>
<p>There  should be something in the lease that says whether you can live in the  middle of it. If assigning the lease to a third party is not allowed,  then you will still be responsible for the payments to the leasing  office.</p>
<p>Some apartments will allow you to sublease while others will not. You will have to look at the contract language to be sure.</p>
<p><strong>Warranty of habitability</strong></p>
<p>The  landlord must provide you with a safe space to live in. The tenant  should read the lease to see if there is anything that relates to  interfering with the landlord&#8217;s obligation. This might mean tenants  cannot block the fire escape.</p>
