I’m back with another of my 101 cashflow accelerators and we’re talking in this segment about renovations. I’ve made a fortune in the arena of renovations and I want to help you to do the same and I’ve learned an awful lot about how important the contract is. Listen, your contractor. Many times these folks are in desperation most of the time and they’re always angling for ways to get their money out of you before the work is done. I find it best to not be the owner, be the manager, so the hat that you should wear is that of a project manager and then you have the authority to release payments based on the contract when the actual sign-off occurs from the County. When they have the inspection done by the County, they’re the ones that need to organize that and set that up and be present for the inspection.
Back with another 101 cash flow accelerator and one of the things that can help you a lot is to save money when you are doing renovations. And one of the things that you have to get clear in your contract with your contractor, and I jokingly say con…tractor, it’s built right into their name, right, is that it gets you to get very good clear in the beginning who’s gonna do what under what circumstances, in what time frame.
I’m back with another of my hundred and one cash flow accelerators. And I wanted you to know that it’s so important when you are in the area of renovating property that you always get references on the contractors that you’re going to do business with. Now let me warn you and alert you that references sometimes are set ups as well. Do you think that the contractor is going to give you people that are going to give them a bad reference? No. They’re going to give you people that are gonna give them a good reference, like their momma, their brother-in-law, other people in their life. So what you’re looking for is references that are recent references that they had work done, say within the last few months. And you definitely want to interview those folks. You want to find out what’s going on in their world. You know, did the contractor live up to the budget that you entered into?
I’m back with another of my 101 cashflow accelerators where you can separate yourself from being just a landlord into a housing provider, an affordable housing provider. In fact, a certified affordable housing provider. One of the things that I teach you to do in this particular segment is to separate your documentation. So in other words, we’re entering into two different agreements. If we’re going to do a lease with the option to buy, we’ve got a lease, you’ve got what we call our standard rental agreement, and that covers the relationship that we have with them as an occupant of the property. Separately, they’re going to purchase another thing called an option to buy and that option to purchase is going to give them the right to purchase that property within a designated period of time with certain requirements within that, and as a result of them agreeing to that separate agreement, they now have that option to purchase the property.
