We forget that solar power comes in many guises.  Stand alone solar lighting can provide simple efficient lighting to the outdoor areas of your home. Either installed as off the shelf or a DIY solar panel hook-up, it can provide garden, garage or porch lighting for home security and enhance your homes appearance.  When it comes to solar, we are so used to seeing solar hot water systems and solar panel electrical systems, that we forget that the suns heat and energy can be used in many other ways.

Home designers these days are well versed in passive solar design.  However, these features are not always adopted unless asked to do so by the client, or unless required by local regulations to implement them as energy saving measures.  If you are considering a new home, you are well advised to discuss the many design features that would make your home highly energy efficient and practically free of heating and cooling costs, simply by applying good design.

Solar can provide heating and cooling to the home.  The heat energy of the sun can be trapped and recirculated in a heat collector on the roof or a wall.  These are usually painted black and heat air or water containers that become a storage of heat, they in turn heat air which is circulated through the home. These heat storage containers can even become part of a wall, radiating warmth into the room. Typically though, the heat trap warms air  that is then circulated via ducts throughout the house.  A fan is used to push the warm air through your home, which can be powered by a solar panel.

Cooling is achieved in a similar way.  A dark or black heat module or tower on the roof is heated by the sun.  As the air in the tower is heated, it rises, it in turn draws cooler air, often drawn through underground piping where it is cooled, then into the home. This simple method can provide comfortable air temperatures in the home.  When coupled with an attic fan that extracts hot air from your roof space will significantly lower internal temperature.

Rental Property and Expanded Services Can Generate Huge Profits

In my last article, I discussed how 2008 will be a great opportunity to purchase rental property from motivated landlords with negative cash flow properties.  As property managers, we can leverage our personal rental properties and expand our services to generate huge profits for our business.

Property managers have a huge advantage in being able to purchase a property below market and realize instant equity. We have access to a pool of motivated sellers, MLS, and can earn a commission at closing. The return on your investment can be further increased with monthly cash flow, principle reduction, yearly appreciation, and tax savings in depreciating your rental property.  However, only licensed real estate professionals can use rental property to generate business income.

I leverage my personal rental properties to generate business revenue for my companies. We provide maintenance and repair services, sales, leasing, property management, and mortgage services.  Our goal is to generate as much revenue per client as possible.  We offer a one stop shop for our customers and market to buyers, builders, Realtors, sellers, investors, and tenants. What better client to leverage our services to than tenants renting homes that I own.

We assist tenants in repairing their credit, obtaining a mortgage, representing them as a buyer’s agent, and utilizing our in house maintenance company to help them fix up the property or make any necessary repairs. We offer incremental savings with each additional service they choose. For example, if the tenant uses our buyer’s agent and mortgage services, we will waive the loan origination fee. We will also discount our repair and maintenance services. Bundling our services at an aggressive price point provides a win-win scenario for both the tenants and our companies. We earn incremental business and potentially save tenants thousands of dollars. Not only are tenants happy to utilize our services, but they refer business to us as well. Our state requires that we disclose a multiple role form when providing real estate and mortgage services.

In our market, there is a huge demand for home buyers who just sold their home and need a place to park while they build a new home. Few property managers offer lease terms less than six month, because short term leases are not profitable for the owner. I fill this market demand with properties I personally own and network with Realtors and builders and offer short term leases for their clients and customers. In return, I ask them to refer my company future property management business. We will refer the owner back to the Realtor if they decide to sell the property in the future. This makes the sales transaction go very smoothly, and Realtors are thankful for us providing this service.

Our maintenance company specializes in getting properties ready for sale and lease. We do small and large projects. We market our maintenance and repair services to homeowners and Realtors. Most Realtors don’t have relationships with maintenance vendors. We provide reliable services at affordable rates. Our handymen are full time employees, and we provide company transportation. Our maintenance company can take care of most inspection repair items, and we can assist Realtors in getting their client’s home ready for sale. 

The more properties you own, the more you can leverage your services to generate business income. I encourage property managers to take advantage of near record low interest rates and purchase as many rental properties as possible. Consider expanding your service offerings. Mortgage services are extremely profitable and require little capital to get licensed. Many states require only a few classes to obtain your loan officer license, and you may be able to get real estate MC E credits with the completed classes. Consider subleasing some of your office space with a mortgage broker who will pay you rent and sponsor you as a loan officer. Offering maintenance and repair services can generate future real estate clients. A homeowner needing painting services may be in the market to lease or sell their property.  Expanding your service offerings and levering your personal rental properties and can offer a limitless return on your investment.

In my next article, I will discuss how property managers can take advantage of tax loopholes only available to licensed real estate agents.

When you are into redecorating and making your home look nice, you probably love to change your living room interior decorating theme often. To make this easier, it is important to have a simple plan to follow each time you feel like changing everything around. Here’s some tips on how to build your décor so you can change it at any time, without having to spend a bundle of money.

Backdrop

If you want to change the look of your living room a lot then you need to start with a neutral palate. You don’t have to keep all of the walls white and the couch cream colored, but you should keep everything pretty neutral. You can choose browns or greens if you want color, but avoid anything to bright or flashy. As long as you stay away from patterns however, you should be able to have several different choices for your décor.

If you keep the big things like furniture, walls and flooring in neutral tones, you’ll be able to change out the theme of your living room interior décor by adding accessories like rugs, pillows and wall art in the colors that you want. Another great ideas for sofas and chairs is to buy slipcovers – you can actually buy furniture that is meant to be slip covered, then simply get new slipcovers to go with whatever decorating plan you have in mind for the season!

Accessories

When you have a neutral palate to work with, you can change the way your room looks just by replacing a few basic items. For instance, you should only need to change your curtains, pillows, and a few room accessories when you get the urge to switch things around. If you want your living room interior decorating to be a little lighter for spring, you can add sheer curtains, flowered pillows, and a vase of fresh flowers for a quick change.

For a warm winter look, bring in deep reds, golds and greens in heavy fabrics like velvets and chenille’s. try some oriental rugs on the floor and oil paintings on the walls. Adding some candelabras and candleholders around the room will help to give it a cozy look.

Lighting

While track lighting and chandeliers can’t be changed easily, you can change out your lighting to go with your living room interior decorating plan. You can buy all new lights, or use lights that have neutral bases and change the shades out depending on the look you are going for. Need a fresh look for spring? Use plain white shades. Going for a safari look? Get shades in an animal print. How about a romantic look? Try putting on shades that have a floral print with some dangly fringe. You’ll be surprised how much changing the shades can transform a lamp.

If you love to keep your living room interior decorating plan flexible, you must be sure you never commit to something difficult to work with, such as a patterned couch or a bright chair. Don’t be afraid of color, but add it to your room with accessories that can be replaced when you want something a little different. It really doesn’t take a lot of money to get a new look, just a little creativity.
