When Will Real Estate Values Begin to Appreciate Again?
When will the nation’s property values begin to appreciate again? This is the $64,000 question that real estate professionals, investors, and mortgage professionals would like to know. The truth is nobody can accurately predict the return of the real estate market. Like everyone else, I can’t predict the end of this crisis either, but what I can do is tell you what will have to happen to facilitate that change. The answer is quite simple: America must reinvest in herself once again. Without an investment, real estate is as worthless as the Dollar is today.
Think back, or read a history book, about how families in the ’40s and ’50s used to buy homes. Young couples lived with Mom and Dad during the “courtship” prior to getting married, until they had saved 20% to put down on their “dream home”. They made an investment in America, (i.e. the American dream). In the years that followed we have devalued that investment in lieu of credit and the easy access to it. Property values rose artificially and our nation became addicted to credit.
How To Protect Yourself From Real Estate Liability
When dealing with real estate investment properties you want to make sure you’re always protected. I don’t just mean having a proper landlord insurance policy, I’m more referring to what’s called a living trust structure.
The most successful real estate investors out there today all have some sort of trust set up for each and every one of their real estate properties. This could be just their primary residence, or it could be dozens of apartment buildings they own. Since real estate deeds are a publicly accessible document, it means anybody can find out whose name is on title for a specific address. This type of trust structure which is better known as a Living Trust or Master Protection Trust is very useful for your real estate investments. It has many benefits one of which is especially important to celebrities and wealthy individuals. Do you think that Donald Trump or Bill Gates is names are listed as the owner of any property title document? I don’t think so.
So as you can see, the shell of the structure is the Master Protection Trust which is a rollup and direct holding of all assets. Underneath it is the second layer of protection and could potentially be any sort of corporation but in this instance I’m using a limited liability corporation (LLC). Then rolling up to the LLC are my real estate investment properties. So each one of these investment properties will be moved out of my personal name and into a new land trust name. You can call each one of these properties any name you want but most commonly I’ve seen the address of the property used as the land trust name. This makes it simple to know and keep track of each one of your investment properties especially if you continue to acquire more. You can of course have more than four as the illustration above is just a basic example of how you would construct this sort of protection for yourself.
