Over the past few years, I have been working with many rental properties investors.  Many of them have asked me to advise them on how to generate the highest possible rent for rental properties.  While there are many options for improving rental property income, here are a few simple and low cost investments that will help landlords to get the most for their rentals. 1.  Keep the Rental Property Clean and Presentable  (FREE) The first factor when a tenant considers a rental property is its attractiveness and cleanliness. The property needs to be CLEAN at the very beginning stage (before marketing and showing). Many landlords acquire properties through Bank Owned Sales or foreclosures and do not make an effort to clean and maintain properties that often show signs of neglect or even abu...

California mortgage rates for West Covina are posted below and are subject to change. Financial Reasons to Buy a Home There are a number of personal and emotional reasons to buy a home. But there are also some strong financial reasons to make the investment. Here are just a few of those reasons: Increase Net Worth: Few things have a greater impact on net worth than owning a home. In a comparison of renters versus homeowners, the Federal Reserve Board of Consumer Finance found that the average net worth of renters was just $4,000 compared to homeowners at $184,400. A Big Tax Deduction: One of the largest tax deductions available is the amount of interest paid on a mortgage. In fact, a $150,000 home at a 5.50% interest rate can add up to approximately $8,000 in first year's interest. This...
