Summary & Conclusions
You should now have an good basic understanding
of how to buy and sell sell income real estate, along with some of the tasks
involved in managing it. Many of the principles also apply to a personal
residence, but, as you've seen, rental properties require a significant number
of additional considerations and concerns. You have seen that one
of the most issues when buying real estate is that the deals are properly structured
and that adequate contingencies are written into your purchase offer. During
the period of ownership, adequate tenant selection procedures, well-written lease
agreements and other documentation, an understanding of the law, and following
good procedures are critical to minimizing conflicts between landlord and tenants
and maximizing return on investment. Upon disposal of the property, consideration
must be given to tax considerations in addition to the structure of the deal.
