Why Rental Properties are the Best Real Estate Investment

I have been in the real estate business for many years. I have flipped houses, wholesale properties, been an agent, own my own brokerage, and I have bought single-family rentals, multifamily rentals, college rentals, and even commercial rentals. After almost 20 years in the real estate business, I can tell you that rentals have been ... Read more

Minnesota Seller Disclosure: “Are You in Possession of the Prior Seller’s Disclosure Statement?”

Image
Meticulous Record Keeping = Meticulous Maintenance? “Are you in possession of prior seller’s disclosure statement(s)? (If “Yes, please attach).” –Minnesota Seller Disclosure; p. 1, line 44. [ Editor’s Note :  The views expressed here are solely those of Ross Kaplan, and do not represent Edina Realty, Berkshire Hathaway, or any other entity referenced.  If you need legal advice, please consult an attorney.] As a Buyer’s agent, I always like to see the previous Seller’s Disclosure — that is, the Disclosure that the current Seller received from the previous owner, when they were the Buyer (got all that??). There are two reasons that that’s helpful: One . It provides a more complete picture of the home’s condition, especially if the current owner has been in the house a relatively short time (less than 3-4 years). When that’s the case, it’s possible that the current owner has never had a problem with such Minnesota bugaboos as a wet basement or ice dams — but th...

“Meticulously Maintained,” Deciphered

Image
Not new — but “meticulously maintained.” Real Estate Synonyms — and Antonyms True or false: “Meticulously maintained” means the same thing as “updated.” Give up? The correct answer is “False.” In fact, “meticulously maintained” is almost always Realtor code for not updated. Ditto for synonyms such as “well-loved,” “quaint,” “vintage,” “long-time owner,” etc. (all very nice things, by the way — just not the same as “updated”).

Homelander in “The Boys”: a Superhero’s Super Powers — and Surprising Lack Thereof

Image
  Superhero as Psychopath [ Spoiler alert : this post divulges a sub-plot from Season One, Episode #4, “The Female of the Species.” Stop here if you don’t want to know.] As super powers go, you’d think safely landing a stricken passenger jet would be a cinch. Especially when the Superhero (“Supe”) in question — Homelander in Amazon Prime’s “The Boys” — can fly at the speed of sound, shoot lethal laser beams from his eyes, and hurl 8-ton trucks as if they were toys. Nope. Conjuring Jack Nicholson’s “Here’s Johnny!” expression from “The Shining.” Queen Maeve begs Homelander: Queen Maeve : “You’ve got to go out there — lift the plane up!” Homelander (incredulous): “Lift the plane up?!? How? There’s nothing to stand on. It’s f*cking air!” Queen Maeve: “I don’t know, fly at it, ram it straight.” Homelander : “No, [at] that kind of speed, either the plane goes ass over tit, or I’ll punch straight through the hull, or . . . ” So, why not at least save as many passengers a...
