With mortgage qualifying harder these days we see tenants with strong careers and great salaries unable to obtain financing for a mortgage. These people in particular make fantastic tenants. They always pay their rent on time and they treat your home as if it were their own so you the landlord can in turn pay your mortgage and reduce the amount of maintenance or repairs. The trend for these tenants are typically 4 or more bedrooms and a good school district.

High distressed property rate in some areas of metro Atlanta is factor that could bring your net rental proceeds down - distressed means either a short-sale or a foreclosure. Many neighborhoods in Atlanta have a distressed rate of over 80%. Which mean there are going to be some good deals to be had but, this also means more immediate competition and diluting your quality tenants. Investors find themselves reducing their asking rental price in order to limit vacancy time and typically carpet replacement and interior paint are the main repairs that are needed at the end of a 2 or 3 year lease.

The good areas are the lower priced homes 3 to 4 bedrooms in areas that do not have a high distressed property rate. Rental rates are typically $900 - $1100 per month. Tenants are typically stable occupants for appoximately 5 years and your maintenance repairs are less. 

Investors listen up... There are a lot of great buys in the Atlanta real estate market. Houses are selling low and interest rates couldn't be better. Maybe now is a good time to add to your portfolio or buying your first rental. Remember, the best deals are not always the best investment. Pay attention to where you are picking up properties. Wego Property Management is always happy to point you in the right direction and can see you through from contract-to-closing-to-tenant. Contact Wego Property Management, we have unparalleled access to Atlanta bank owned homes many of which would make great rentals.

1. Poor property maintenance and upkeep. Many Atlanta owners and investors aren't actual residents of Atlanta. Routine maintenance is neglected and issues with their real estate investment suffers. A national survey suggests that the average home owner invests $2000 to $3000 dollars a year on maintenance and improvements.

Atlanta investment property management owners are choosing less desirable rental properties without doing the proper research and making the necessary repairs. Serious losses can be avoided by investment property management owners if the rental houses are brought up to a higher standard. Thus creating a more stable tenants and ultimate positive cash flow for our investment property management owners.

2. With the overwhelming number of foreclosures in Atlanta, many owners and investors have chosen to place tenants without doing proper screening and background checks.

Experience the difference in Real Estate Management

Why choose WEGO over traditional management firms?
With the cost of making a mistake so high, it is critical that investors, and landlords select a proven, reputable partner. Even if you do not select WEGO as your provider, do your homework! Read online reviews and talk to other companies in the industry to make sure you are selecting a firm that maintains a consistently satisfied client base. You will quickly find that there are drastic differences in client satisfaction and performance across the management industry.

About WEGOTEAM.com
In the small to mid-sized market there are
a wide range of companies offering
management solutions. We understand it can be difficult to select the best solution when it seems all management firms are promising the same thing.

Luckily there is a telling aspect of companies that even the best sales person cannot affect: reputation. Based on the experiences of the investors and landlords that have come before you, the industry reputation and track record of a company will show if the firm produces consistent results as promised or if they are simply "selling" a solution without the ability to make their clients truly successful.

At WEGO, not only have we made client
satisfaction our top priority, we prove it by offering the industry's first "easy out" contract. We do not believe in forcing our clients to utilize our services by relying on legal paperwork.

We are proud to say that each and every client in the WEGO family remains with us by choice. We prove our value every month by producing measurable results and the industry's top customer support.

Reasons WEGO leads the way in residential rental homes,
apartment complexes and condominium management

• Lowest fees; 8% Monthly Management

The tax credit is a value of $8000 if you have not owned a primary residence within the past 3 years. So even if you owned a home back in the early to mid 2000's when the Atlanta real estate market was thriving you can still qualify for the homebuyer credit. The IRS has posted income restrictions as well. Single filers adjusted gross up to $125,000 and Joint filers up to $225,000 will qualify for the tax-credit.

What happens if you enter into a contract on April 30, 2010? Do you still receive the credit? The answer is yes - so long as you close on your new home by June 30, 2010. Members of military will have one extra year to claim the credit (April 30, 2011)

So if you've been looking for a new home and have yet to "pull the trigger" on your decision making process. Now is the time. Atlanta real estate prices have never been so low and now a tax credit is the proverbial "icing on the cake".

Will the tax credit be extended again? Of course this is possible but, we've spoken with many of the Atlanta lending institutions and mortgage companies and the consensus seems to be that there will not be another extension. So again, if buying a home is in your plans, hurry. Time is running out.

Over the past several months I have been able to help many homebuyers who wanted to upgrade their home.  This is called a move up buyer.  This market is extremely favorable for move up buyers right now.  Yes, your home is not worth what it was a couple of years ago, but if you are upgrading to a more expensive home, that homes value has declined even more than your current home has.  In this kind of market move up buyers can achieve the purchase of the home of their dreams and earn some serious home equity at the same time.  If this is something you are interested in, please get in touch and I can help you with an assessment as to whether this would be a good move for you.

Georgia Homeowners Moving to Green Alternatives

The age of corrosive building materials in construction is coming to an end. In the Georgia real estate market, there are a variety of issues worth considering. Used for millennia as a form of building insulation and piping, homes built prior to 1980 may contain asbestos. When purchasing or remodeling property, citizens are adopting green alternatives to asbestos and other hazardous materials.

Although manufacturers of asbestos knew about the dreadful affects of its product, it was used in millions of homes and buildings throughout the 20^th century. Asbestos can be a problem for homeowners due to causing a variety of lung diseases, such as mesothelioma. With no mesothelioma cure, there is limited treatment and poor prognosis for patients. Developed through exposure to asbestos fibers, the number of mesothelioma survivors are unfortunately few, far and between.

The Georgia Environmental Protection Division enforces rules based on Georgia statutes. The GEPD is committed to protecting the public from exposure to asbestos-containing material. Asbestos materials can be legally performed by homeowners, regular contractors, or licensed asbestos abatement contractors. Asbestos removal is an extremely delicate and hazardous operation, so removal in homes, buildings and public workplaces must be performed by an abatement contractor.

Once you are asbestos free, green alternatives should be seriously considered. The United States Green Building Council (USGBC), in a study conducted in 2003, estimated a savings of $50-$65 per square foot for well-constructed green buildings in the U.S. (see table below) during that year. Green options such as Cellulose, Cotton Fiber and Lcynene allow for a clean, healthy home, free of health damaging materials.
