Poking holes with Greg Scully
Mike Taravella discusses the importance of understanding your rent roll as a buyer and an owner. Key Information: Your rules of thumb need to be updated as the market changes! Take a look at your underwriting for insurance, taxes, etc. to make sure things haven’t changed. Keep engaging with insurance companies annually as well as replacement costs may be changing drastically How are your taxes assessed? Do not assume the previous taxes and do not assume you will be reassessed at the time of purchase. Know your rules! Know your property and what the various projections mean. Your deal on paper is 1 of 1,000,000 things that could happen to the property Have defensible underwriting. What is conservative and why? Be able to backup your projections based on your market research. Understand management and what value it adds to/takes away from you. Does self-management make sense? Pro tip: Have your team work items separately and aggregate results to prevent group think and/or confirmation bias. Contact: RealWealth.Solutions – All contact info is on the site!

Term Life vs. Whole Life and Renting vs. Owning A Home with Jake & Gino
In this episode, Jake and Gino talk about the pros and cons of renting assets versus owning assets, and how this analogy compares to Term Life Insurance versus Whole Life Insurance. Below is one of the top misconceptions about Term Life vs. Whole Life. MYTH: It’s better to buy term life insurance and invest the difference. BUSTED: Real Estate Investors know better than anyone that it is better to OWN than to RENT. Why rent your insurance when you can own it and benefit from the equity built inside your policy? You may have heard people suggest “buying term and investing the difference”, but investing in the market involves risk. As a Real Estate Investor, you’re already taking a lot of risk. Does it really make sense to take risk with your safe money as well? With the specially-design of our Whole Life Insurance policies, you know the minimum, guaranteed value of your policy at any given year, as well as the minimum cash value you could borrow. There is no guessing game! Something that is simply not a luxury with “investing the difference”.
