Zillow Lost $500 Million Flipping Houses & It's got NOTHING to do with a Crash | Ask James Wise 50

Zillow tried flipping houses and failed miserably. The amount of money Zillow lost flipping houses varies depending on which news article you are ready. There are articles saying the amount of money Zillow lost flipping houses is in the $300 Million dollar range. There are articles saying the amount of money Zillow lost with their I-Buying platform is in the $400 Million dollar range. There are articles saying the amount of money Zillow lost with the Zillow Offers programs is in the $500 Million dollar range. Some articles say Zillow has lost even more that $500 Million using the Zillow algorithm to flip houses. Whatever the actual house flipping loss is, it doesn't really matter. One thing is for sure, Zillow's house flipping business was a total failure. This shouldn't be a surprise. Realtors have been making jokes about how inaccurate the Zillow Zestimate is for years. In the 50th episode of The Ask James Wise Show James Wise sounds off on his thoughts on Zillow's business as a real estate data company. The false narrative that Zillow is putting Realtors out of business or as some same Zillow making Realtors obsolete. James Wise also discusses how much money Zillow has lost since it was started as well as his thoughts on whether or not Zillow's house flipping failure is an indication of an upcoming housing crash as many other Youtubers in the real estate business have indicated they believe that Zillow knows a impeding house crash is coming and Zillow got out of the house flipping business in order to preserve the Zillow stock price. Finally James Wise ends the show with some dank Zillow memes. Who doesn't love a good Squid Game Zillow meme?

New Law Forces Real Estate Investors to Rent to Violent Criminals in New Jersey | Ask James Wise 45

As a new real estate investors you've probably googled "how to screen tenants for rental property?" As a new property manager you may have even googled "how to run a criminal background check on a tenant?" If you are renting a property in New Jersey you may be shocked to know that those activities are now illegal. In the 45th episode of The Ask James Wise Show we are talking about the democratic dumpster fire that is the Fair Chance in Housing Act that was passed into law by New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy. This new law makes it illegal for New Jersey landlords to deny renting their properties to violent criminals. It even goes so far as to make it illegal for New Jersey real estate investors to deny housing to murderers. Based on his race baiting with the Juneteenth National Independence Day Act it looks like New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy thinks keeping your tenants safe is racist. In New Jersey the law is clear, despite obvious safety concerns for their tenants landlords must rent their properties to violent criminals whether they want to or not.

Previous Evictions: 10 Times it's OK to Rent to a Tenant with an Eviction Record | Ask James Wise 43

Tenant screening can be tricky for new real estate investors. One of the most common questions new property managers have when they are screening tenants for rental property is if it's ok to rent to a tenant who has an eviction on their record. Previous evictions can be confusing because there are many reasons why the potential tenant may have been evicted by their previous landlord. Maybe the tenant lost their job? Maybe it was a wrongful eviction? Maybe the eviction wasn't the tenant's fault. Thing is, evictions are very expensive. Evictions take a long time. Evicting a tenant is a huge hassle for any landlord. Because tenants who where previously evicted have a higher probability of being evited again we have a zero tolerance policy at HoltonWise when it comes to renting property to tenants who have been evicted in the past. In short any tenant with an eviction on their record for any reason is denied housing with HoltonWise. Despite this zero tolerance policy many potential tenants and real estate investors ask us when it's ok to break the zero tolerance policy regarding tenants who have been evicted in the past. In the 43rd episode of The Ask James Wise Show we go over the 10 most common times real estate investors talk themselves into breaking their no eviction policy when they are screening tenants for their rental properties.

How To Screen Tenants: 5 Tenant Screening Tips to Avoid Bad Tenants | Ask James Wise 40

Tenant screening is tough. Many landlords wonder how to screen tenants. There are so many aspects to proper tenant screening that it can make new landlords want to pull their hair out. What happens if you make a tenant screening mistake and get yourself a tenant from hell?  In the 40th episode of The Ask James Wise Show James goes over 5 tenant screening tips to help landlords and property managers avoid renting to bad tenants.

 

 

 

When learning how to manage rental property many landlords wonder how to screen tenants. Tenant screening is one of the most important parts of being a landlord or property manager. However tenant screening is also one of the hardest parts of being a landlord or property manager. When you are managing rental properties you aren't managing the properties as much as you are managing the tenants who live in the properties. Managing rentals is more of a people business than anything else. The major difference between managing rental properties and other people management focused businesses such as customer service representatives or things of that nature is that property managers cannot go by the motto of the customer is always right. In fact, not every potential tenant should be allowed to be your customer when you are managing rental property. A large portion of the tenant screening process is determining who you should not allow to live in your rental property. In the 39th episode of The Ask James Wise Show James goes over 3 types of tenants that you should never rent to. If you rent to these 3 types of tenants your rental property business will suffer and you are going to hate being a landlord or property manager.

Tenant Screening for Landlords: Landlords Should Discriminate Tenants Every Day | Ask James Wise 18

Tenant discrimination is good. Wow, talk about a hot button issue in the property management business. It's true though, good tenant screening requires the property manager to engage in denying tenants based upon landlord discrimination. As landlords and property managers we should be discriminating against tenants every single day.  When a landlord is screening tenants for rental property the landlord's job is to discriminate tenants. At HoltonWise we discriminate tenants every single day, that is our job as a property manager when we are screening tenants for landlords who have hired us to manager their rental properties. The caveat to this pro tenant discrimination stance is that there are legal forms of tenant discrimination as well as illegal forms of tenant discrimination. Landlords should never engage in housing discrimination that violates fair housing laws. A fair housing violation is bad news. Following the fair housing act is a must for property tenant screening. Understanding the fair housing act will allow a landlord to learn how to avoid a discrimination lawsuit when screening tenants for rental property. In the 18th episode of The Ask James Wise Show James Wise answers a question that was sent in to HoltonWiseTV from a new real estate investor. The question is as follows "What do you think of single parents with large number of children, morbidly obese people with mobility problem, terminally ill or mental patients, gang members, people with friends moving in "for a few days?" James Wise goes on to explain the differences between legal and illegal discrimination. James Wise continues with why following all applicable fair housing laws is very important, but does not mean real estate investors should not engage in legal tenant screening discrimination during their tenant screening process.

(while they were living rent free).   I myself am a contractor in Lakewood with a very busy business.  I can never manage to get over there and do any work other than yard upkeep..  You see, when I have the money I don't have the time, and when I have the time I don't have the money.  All taxes are up to date.  I am finally going to tackle the whole house starting at the end of March to get it ready for market.  I have limited funds , so it is important that I put my money into where I will get the most payback.  My wife and I would like to be able to list this in June or July.  I guess my question is, What advise can you give me?"
