REDMOND – InBestments (www.inBestments.com), a new and innovative residential real estate investment platform, is now available to everyone.

InBestments (Best + Investments) is built with a singular goal to provide everyone with a smart way to invest – one that takes away guesswork and provides a trusted, simpler and faster way to invest in cash-flow rentals, profitable-flips and long-term holds.

Based in Redmond, Washington, InBestments has built a new, data driven and user friendly platform that combines cutting edge data science technology with the insights of local real estate agents, digitally transforming the way in which real estate investment decisions are made. The founding team of InBestments brings with them deep technology and consulting experience gained through years at the likes of Microsoft, Accenture, GE, Avanade and others.

Vinod Sharma, founder and CEO said, “Growing up in lower middle-class families under extreme hardships, InBestments’ founding team truly understands that for most people buying a home (primary or investment) is the largest investment they make in their life time and thus we set out to build a comprehensive, trusted real estate investing solution, one that makes real estate investing simpler, faster and smarter. “

Jo Dixit, co-founder and a licensed designated broker said, “We have capitalized on our years of real estate investing and agent experience to build this platform. Our property investment experience made us realize that, while real estate is definitely an excellent asset class for diversification and consistent returns, it’s cumbersome, time consuming and, frankly broken, making it extremely difficult to invest with confidence.”

InBestments was born from this grand idea, a solution with an audacious goal; make real estate investing as easy as stock investing. Whether looking to save for your children’s education, prepare for retirement or diversify your portfolio, InBestments will provide the tools, knowledge and experience you need, in a Fast, Easy, Effective way.

Research and Due Diligence: Automated

Finding investment-grade properties to hold as rental or to flip is a very labor intensive and time consuming process. It could take months to find a good investment property. All the real estate websites do not cater to the unique needs of investors. Investors need to do research and due diligence to generate metrics to make sure the property is a good deal. Information necessary to make the informed data-driven decision is not always readily available, up to date or accurate. Investing based on half-baked, inaccurate data can be a costly mistake, but up until now, investors didn’t have much choice in the matter.

This is what makes InBestments the smart way to invest in real estate. InBestments analyzes and curates every property listed on NWMLS to find investment grade properties. With its proprietary investment-centric Smart Search, InBestments enables you to quickly search by Cash-flow, ROI and not just by number of beds, baths and other such traditional criteria.

All that users need to do is select the investment metrics that fit their needs, hit ‘search’ and, in seconds, they’ll have a list of matching properties. Users can save their search and are informed of matching property within 10 minutes of them hitting the market.

Comprehensive Investment Analysis

The platform helps the user create comprehensive, personalized, “what-if” probability scenarios, allowing users to see the potential value of cash-flow rentals and profitable flips prior to actually making the investment and closing the deal.

Investors gets an edge on their competition, allowing them to make better and more informed decisions faster than their competition.

The platform also allows users to create a portfolio of properties that align with their forecasted goals and expected or necessary returns. The platform takes user submitted information and criteria, then provides probable insights on returns based on that information. This gives users of InBestments an edge on their competition, allowing them to make better and more informed decisions faster than their competition.

Enabling Agents to provide superior, differentiated service

InBestments does the grunt work for real estate agents, freeing up their bandwidth so that they can focus on Job #1: taking care of customers and growing their business. InBestments is a platform by agents, for agents, allowing agents to stay ahead of competition, stand out, stay relevant and keep growing their business strong.

InBestmetns is a platform by agents, and for agents.

While the established big players in the industry along with startups are looking to displace or minimize the need of real estate agents, we at InBestments, believe real estate is about real people, and real families, striving to reach their dreams, and the expert agents who help them realize those dreams. Therefore we are enabling agents with the same cutting edge technology used by the big guys. With InBestments’ technology and agent’s local expertise, agents can provide superior, differentiated service to their clients, which is not available everywhere else.

Recent Feedback

InBestments is a customer-centric organization, and has taken care to listen to their customer base throughout development and beta. This has resulted in improved user experience, feature rich interfaces and intuitive controls.
Feedback thus far has been overwhelmingly positive, with many users awestruck by the performance of the platform and ease at which they can now compile information needed to make informed real estate investment decisions.

Digital Transformation of Real Estate Investing

InBestments is turning the table on how real estate investment research and analysis is done, making cutting edge technology and computerized investment analysis models simple, accessible and affordable to agents, investors and consumers alike. Sorting out and acting on profitable investments is now easier than ever.

How Zillow’s Acquisition of a Mortgage Company Impacts Agents and Lenders?

By
Vinod Sharma & Jo Dixit

On Monday 6th Aug 2018 Zillow Group announced its Q2 financial results. Zillow’s shares fell sharply late Monday after the company announced plans to buy a national mortgage lender and reported second-quarter revenue that fell just short of expectations. Per Nasdaq, Z stock was down about 15.8%, while ZG stock declined 16.4% after the bell on Monday.

While everyone is talking about this decline but that was not the real news. What caught our attention was the acquisition that Zillow announced. We found Zillow’s acquisition of a Kansas-based online direct mortgage lending company Mortgage Lenders of America LLC (MLoA), to be the most interesting and far reaching move not just for Zillow but more so for Agents and Lenders. This is something we expected to happen after Zillow’s foray into the iBuyer segment with its Zillow Offers.

Why is Zillow getting into lending?

This strategic shift allows Zillow to establish itself as a one-stop shop, get deeper in the funnel and closer to the transaction. Zillow is no longer content with being a marketplace that connects buyers, sellers, agents, and lenders. It wants to go deep down in the real estate transaction funnel and become a service engine and not just a search engine.

This enables Zillow to go after more lucrative revenue pool since each mortgage origination might generate thousands of dollars per transaction.

This new revenue stream will help counter the slowing growth of the premier agent program.

This strategy has dramatically expanded Zillow’s total addressable market from single-digit billions of dollars in real estate advertising spend at the time of their 2011 IPO to tens-of-billions of dollars in housing-related transactions, advertising and services today.

Is Zillow Mortgage only for Buyers of Zillow Offers Homes?

Zillow’s Quarterly Update letter talks about Zillow wanting to provide buyers of Zillow-owned homes with a faster, more streamlined mortgage origination experience and reduce hold time. We think Zillow will not restrict their mortgage lending service to buyers of Zillow-owned homes. Zillow’s messaging optic is most likely meant to assuage lenders and agents.
Per Inman, Mortgage Lenders of America (MLoA) reported it originated 4,400 mortgage loans in 2017 through the Zillow platform. During the second quarter of 2018, Zillow Offers purchased 19 homes. Even if the number of homes purchased via Zillow Offers were to increase many folds, that cannot still get them the huge additional revenue they want to generate. Apparently, Zillow will offer their mortgage offering to all buyers.

What does Zillow’s entry into lending might mean for Agents and Lenders?

The biggest game-changing part of this acquisition is the impact on Lenders and Agents. Lenders who are advertising on Zillow now faces direct competition from Zillow for the mortgage business. Since Zillow owns the data pipe, they will have much early indications of which users are most likely going to buy and would need a mortgage. Zillow can pro-actively reach these buyers, before other lenders can.

Zillow mortgage can pre-qualify buyers and then sell the referral to the agents for a referral fee. This sale back to the agent won’t be advertising but rather for a percentage of their total commission. Zillow has a brokerage license (for now in Arizona), so they might do this as a broker-broker referral.

If lenders were to move their marketing budget away from Zillow, agents who do co-marketing with lenders will have their advertising budget reduced significantly.

Zillow is acutely aware of this dynamic and it will be interesting to see how they manage this dynamic.

What are the key takeaways for Agents?

Real Estate Industry is in the midst of a major disruption. The digital transformation that has disrupted other industries, is making its impact on the real estate industry in a big way that fewer agents/brokers can imagine. This is not yet another technology advancement but a fundamental shift that is taking place. Look at what Airbnb did to the hospitality industry. Or Uber did to the taxi industry or Netflix did to Blockbuster and cable.

A perfect cocktail of forces is about to tear the existing business model down, and if you’re not prepared for it, you’ll be left behind.

It is imperative for you as agents/brokers to protect your business by:

✅Up-skilling yourselves to stay relevant. For example, you can become true real estate investment specialist. This is a hugely under served and untapped opportunity. Most wealth managers and financial planners do not sell/recommend real estate to their clients for one simple reason – they don’t get their fees by recommending real estate. They make money when they sell and manage other asset classes but not real estate.

✅Establish yourself as a trusted real estate investment advisor for life and not be viewed as someone who is in it just for the transaction. By doing so will allow you to potentially have multiple transactions with each client.

✅You need to invest in and truly embrace cutting-edge, well-thought out technology that amplifies your expertise. There will be some learning curve but it will be worth it. You just can’t scale and thrive the old way!

✅You need to provide superior differentiated service to stand out and not to been seen as yet another commodity agent. Pick a niche and become an expert in it.

✅Find new lead sources. Don’t become a uber driver – showing up for work every day, making money for Uber so that they invest in autonomous cabs to eventually replace you.

Popcorn? or Not??

Popcorn? or Not?? That’s the dilemma many real estate investors and owners face when they buy older homes that have Popcorn ceiling.

Jo Dixit, Designated Broker of BricksFolios Real Estate Solutions, joins Vinod Sharma, our Founder CEO, to resolve this dilemma – forever!

Many homes built in the late 1930s through the 1990s have popcorn ceilings or some type of texture applied to the ceilings. This style of texture is also known as cottage cheese, or more formally as acoustic or stucco ceiling.

Don’t they say everything comes back in style? We’re darn sure Popcorn ceiling isn’t one of those things. Here is why.

4 Reasons To Remove Popcorn Ceilings:

1. Health Risk

The use of asbestos in textured ceiling paint was banned in 1977. Inhaled in large quantities, asbestos fibers can cause lung disease, scarring of the lungs and lung cancer. However, not all popcorn ceilings contain asbestos.

2. Hard to maintain

Popcorn ceiling catches dust with all those bumps and crannies. It is easily marred but is impossible to clean.

3. Impossible to patch or paint

In case you need to patch, you can buy kits and spray but it’s impossible to get the same look. Don’t even try painting since its impossible to get even coverage on an uneven surface.

4. Hurts resale

If you are not yet convinced, this one should convince you especially when you are flipping properties or renting homes even in the crazy piping hot Seattle area. Popcorn ceilings are from yesteryear, they make your home feel more outdated. Ultimately when a home has tired elements, it tends to sell for less or need to spend more time on the market to sell to the right buyer. If you are trying to rent, be prepared that your home will not rent quickly or rent at lower rent.

Guest Blog: Get Help and Analyze Investment Property Before Your Coffee Gets Cold!

By

Hello! My name is Daniel McDougall, I am a Real Estate Agent based out of Bellevue, Wa. I started my career working with investor buyers and I still love to help them get great deals. It’s really challenging to find great investment properties when the Seattle metro real estate market is as hot as a fresh coffee and inventory is at an all time low. However, I found an awesome residential real estate platform that has enabled me to find great investment properties quickly, with smart analysis already done for me.

Grab a cup of coffee☕ and I will tell you how you can gain back precious time in your day while offering a great service to your clients!

This used to be tried and true investment advice: search through and analyze 100 properties to find 10 potentially good ones. Then cull those down to the best 1 that matches your investment goals. Are you shaking your head at that thought? No way! Thats too much work!

I never actually did analyze an entire batch of 100 properties to pick out 1. Going through a few dozen would often turn up good properties, and even that was a lot of work. Although I do appreciate what that process taught me, I admit I do not enjoy analyzing rentals just for the sake of it (I’m nerdy, but not that nerdy).
These days, we have a much tighter market, lower inventory, and all of us feel more squeezed for our time. I still look through properties for my investor clients and occasionally analyze them, but it’s just not efficient to go through dozens of them anymore.

So how can we honor the principle of digging for gems for our clients without spending too much time on it?

For me the answer is InBestment’s residential real estate platform. It is a platform built by agents for agents to help us grow our business. You can find their story here.

With InBestments, I can do the work for three or four clients faster than I used to be able to help one.

InBestments gives us a significant time advantage over traditional methods of property analysis. Using a direct MLS feed updated every 10 minutes, and smooth analysis tools, you can instantly dig down in a particular area and get an idea of the potential profits (or lack thereof). Because the analysis and number crunching is more automated and so quick, I find it helps me to get my head OUT of the numbers and consider other criteria that can be just as important.

What investment “type” do you typically work with? Buy and Hold? Flips? Anything that makes money?

I originally worked for investors that were looking to flip. I would setup my spreadsheets, and working with each investor, we would adjust our opinions of various projected costs. The process could be tedious, took a lot of back and forth, and usually required several meetings. With InBestments, the client can login, go to the property you recommend, then input all their numbers on their own schedule. Typically this can help lead to faster decisions, which is absolutely necessary in this market. Or, as the agent, you can input your opinion of the various costs, and then broadcast that property to your network of investors and see if anyone is interested. It becomes a marketing and data analysis tool.

You can ditch your spreadsheets and still do some great analysis quickly.

Lately I’ve been more focused on helping investors that are looking to buy and hold. Again, I use spreadsheets. I have the formulas input for quickly finding cash-on-cash return, cap rate, expected appreciation, etc. Then I layer in the other data points and start looking at things like location, amenities, etc. I never got into graphic presentation tools much, though I probably should have. But Inbestments has all the advantages of the spreadsheet, with the graphics already there. As well as an easy user interface and better collaboration with your clients. So you can ditch your spreadsheets and still do some great analysis quickly.

I appreciate other key features as well: the ability to exclusively stamp my brand so my clients see only my brand, free SEO optimized agent profile that helps with lead generation, deeper engagement and collaboration with my clients, a polished CMA builder for price and rental comps, built-in email marketing, Portfolio Builder which helps in demonstrating the power of real estate investment to my clients, and control over the flow of information, these features make it so much more than an analysis tool but a highly automated platform.

Good agents are always finding ways to make themselves more valuable and differentiate themselves. Perhaps InBestments will do that for you, like it did for me. But don’t take my word for it!

If you are curious to learn and experience whether InBestments is a good fit for your business, check out what they have to offer for agents.

So…how’s your coffee☕? Still warm? 🙂 Happy Hunting!

New Tax Laws and Homeowners: Here is Everything You Need to Know

By
Vinod Sharma & Jo Dixit

When it comes to the new tax plan, everyone from investors to agents to homebuyers and sellers are curious as to how the new laws will impact them? How can they navigate the world of real estate under these new laws?. In our previous blog, we covered how the new tax plan will affect real estate investors, but what about homeowners? Here are some of the most important things you as a homeowner need to know about the tax laws in 2018 and beyond.

Increase In Standard Deductions

Many qualified homeowners have relied on itemizing deductions to reduce their taxable income. Mortgage interest, state and local taxes (SALT), contributions to charity and property taxes are a few deductions that homeowners have traditionally taken advantage of. The new law increases the standard deduction rate to $12,000 for single filers and double that for married couples.

Impact on Homeowners

This change means that a significant percentage of Americans won’t benefit from itemized deductions, and will choose to take the larger standard deduction instead.

Mortgage Interest Deduction

When it comes to mortgage debt, the new law caps the limit of mortgage interest that you can deduct at $750,000, where the previous law capped it at $1M. On your existing mortgages before Dec 15, 2017 you will still be able to deduct up to $1M until you move or refinance.

As per Zillow Research, it make sense for only 1 in 7 US homeowners (14.4% down from 44%) to itemize their deductions and take advantage of the mortgage interest deduction. Closer home, in King County this drops from 90.7% to 51.5%.

Impact On Homeowners

Since the majority of Americans don’t own homes in the $750,000 price range, the change will impact buyers in the more expensive housing markets like CA, NY and Seattle & Eastside in WA, more than those in the median price bracket.

Looking to buy a second home? Olga Marchenko, a seasoned loan officer with Guild Mortgage has a great advice. “Remember that your total mortgage debt will need to be less than $750,000. You could pay more downpayment at the time of purchase or purchase a less expensive home to limit your mortage debt within $750,000.”

Property and Sales Tax

The new law combines all of the state and local taxes (SALT) and puts a $10,000 cap on them for both married couples and single filers. The old plan was unlimited, and property taxes were completely deductible. This change could work as a counterbalance to the increased standard deduction and expanded childcare credits.

Impact On Homeowners

For those in the expensive markets, those who are used to paying five figures in local and state taxes, this cap means a big change in how much they can deduct from their federal income taxes. Across the country, over 4M people pay more than $10,000 in property taxes alone. Residents in high-tax states that pay income tax will feel the change the most, as they won’t be able to deduct all of their expenses. Homebuyers in the median price bracket won’t feel the change like those in the expensive market.

Home Equity Loan Deductions

Under the old law, homeowners could borrow against their equity and use the proceeds for whatever purposes they chose – vacation, buying a car, furniture etc., The new law eliminates the deduction for interest paid on existing home equity debt through 2025 unless the proceeds are used to upgrade a residence.

Impact on Homeowners

Homeowners can still deduct interest on HELOCs and second mortgages provided they meet two criteria:

  1. they use the proceeds of the loan to make “substantial improvements” to their home.
  2. the combined total of their first mortgage balance and their HELOC or second mortgage does not exceed the new $750,000 limit on mortgage amounts qualified for interest deductions.

“You could still use HELOC to fund your investment properties. HELOC is still the cheapest funding source.”

Vacation Homes

Owning a vacation home is a dream many Americans have, and the new plan shakes things up a bit when it comes to owning a second home. As mentioned above, the current plan caps the combined mortage deduction at $750,000. Homeowners who own a second home and don’t rent it out won’t get any tax breaks, but if they do rent it out, that’s another story. The income earned on a vacation rental is tax-free as long as it’s rented for 14 days or less. If it’s rented for longer, the income must be reported.

Impact on Homeowners

Homeowners who already have a $750k mortgage on their primary residence and plan to buy a second home won’t be able to deduct the interest on that second mortgage. The elimination of the home equity loan deduction may make homeowners a little more hesitant to buy a vacation home since most use the equity on their main residence to finance their second home.

On a more positive note, homeowners who turn their rental property into a business will be able to use some of these new laws to their advantage.
They can claim deductions for mortgage interest and state and local taxes as a business expense.

What About Real Estate Investors / Landlords

The new tax law is great for Real Estate investors / landlords.
Economists and housing experts across the board agree that the new tax plan will slow down the rate of climbing home prices in some of the most expensive areas. The changes will give prospective homebuyers more reason to wait or stay where they are instead of jumping into buying a home. If the tax benefits don’t work for them, many homebuyers may choose to rent instead of buy. This will mean rent will increase and sale prices will come down, which is great news for Real Estate investors, and not so great for renters.

If you are looking for Cash Flow rentals and profitable flips in Seattle area, head to www.InBestments.com where you can still find great investment property deals despite the Seattle area being so piping hot. At InBestments we use advanced data science technologies to find great deals and to remove guesswork from investing so that everyone can invest with confidence, like pros. While Elon Musk makes his forays to get Real Estate on Mars, you could win great Real Estate deals, near home 🙂

Conclusion

Overall, the new tax laws have surely taken away the preferential treatment for homeowners. Real Estate investors have definitely come out ahead with these reforms. The impact that the new tax reform will have on individuals varies greatly by location and local laws. It’s highly recommended for all homeowners to discuss how the law affects them in their particular case with a CPA. Staying up to date on the changes in real estate tax laws is the best way to make the smartest financial decisions regarding your home.

How Does The New Tax Plan Impacts Real Estate Investors?

By
Vinod Sharma & Jo Dixit

If you are a real estate investor, agent, or homeowner, you have probably wondered how the new tax plan is going to affect you? Big changes to the tax plan mean lots to learn and understand the impact of these changes in the coming months when it comes to buying, selling, and investing in real estate. And while it will still take some time to see exactly how these changes will affect you as an individual, we have done some digging and have compiled the answers to six of the more pressing questions that come with real estate investing under the new tax laws.
It is important to remember that individual circumstances and local laws play a big part in each unique situation and can change the impact of these new tax regulations in a variety of ways.

1031 Exchange

A 1031 Exchange, aka Starker Exchange, is a powerful tax-deferment strategy used by some of the smartest investors. There was a proposal to do away with 1031 Exchange. Great News, they have been upheld in the new tax plan, but with some updates. 1031 exchanges will only apply to real property, meaning land and buildings. Now, taxpayers can only defer taxes from the actual property, not personal property like furniture, equipment etc.,

Impact On Investors

Investors can still take advantage of the roll over of capital gains from one property to another.

Pass-through Income

The new plan also involves changes for pass-through income. Pass-throughs are basically any business that isn’t a corporation. Pass through income “passes through” to the owner’s tax returns instead of being filed separately as a business. Under the new plan, the 20% tax break is capped at either 50% of wages a company pays or 25% wages and 2.5% capital assets, whichever is more. This is good news for companies who pay little or no wages, and is a benefit for companies that are capital-intensive.

Impact On Investors

This update to the tax bill is great news for investors and landlords who typically do business via pass-through entities like S-corps, real estate trusts, partnerships and limited liability companies, all which are about to get some big tax breaks thanks to the new plan. Doing business this way is also recommended when it comes to asset protection. As an investor or landlord, if someone was to sue you, pass-through entities would help limit your exposure and reduce the chances for someone taking you for everything you’ve got.

Business Interest Deduction and Depreciation

Let’s be honest, running a business isn’t cheap. And for most business who take out loans to get things rolling, the interest that adds up isn’t cheap either. While the existing law generally allows a deduction for business interest expenses, the tax bill limits that deduction to the sum of business interest income plus 30% of adjusted taxable income.

Impact on Investors

Real estate businesses investors can opt out of this new limit, but there’s a catch. The recovery periods in which a property depreciates is a little longer. The recovery periods under the new law is 40 years for non residential property and 30 years for residential rental property. These longer depreciation schedules can adversely impact return on investment (“ROI”). If they don’t opt out of the interest deduction limitation, then residential and nonresidential real property depreciation recovery periods are maintained at 27.5 years and 39 years, respectively. Investors will need to keep these recovery periods in mind when determining their future ROI.

State and local tax (SALT) deductions

SALT stands for State and Local Taxes. This includes property taxes, which are a lion’s share of SALT. The SALT deductions remain intact, but have been capped at $10,000 combined. Homeowners living in states that have higher taxes will see an increase in federal tax payments (Sorry New York, Jersey and California.) In Washington state, most homeowners won’t be impacted since the average SALT deduction across the state is $7400, although it exceeds $8,000 in King County.

Impact On Investors

All state and local taxes paid in regards to running a business, or any activity related to generating income is still tax deductible for investors. A rental property owner can even deduct property taxes from rental property since it is considered a business asset.

Mortgage interest deduction

Being able to write off the interest accrued on mortgages is the third most utilized itemized tax deductions, per Tax Foundation. . The new law caps the limit of mortgage interest that you can deduct at $750,000 on up to two personal residences for tax years 2018–2025, where the previous law capped it at $1M.
This change will impact primary home buyers in the more expensive housing markets like Seattle or Eastside. Landlords can continue to choose to itemize complete mortgage interest deduction on their rental properties. Nothing changes for them.

Impact on Investors

The lowering of the mortgage interest deduction along with the cap on SALT and the roughly doubling of standard deduction, means there is less incentive for people to buy homes vs continue to rent. This would benefit landlords and investors because it will mean more competition for their rental properties.

Home Equity Loan Deductible

Under the old tax laws, a taxpayer can deduct up to $100,000 in interest payments on Home Equity debt, this deductible has been suspended until 2025.

Impact on Investors

Many real estate investors tap into equity of their primary home to invest into rental properties. While they can continue to do that, but there they cannot deduct their HELOC interest for tax years 2018-2025.

What’s Next?

The new tax plan will undoubtedly change the way many investors play the game. These new policies will encourage both new and seasoned investors to find new tactics and techniques to be successful in the industry. Keeping the 1031 tax deferred exchanges allows many investors to breathe a sigh of relief, and the changes to the ways pass through income is handled will encourage more investors to put capital towards real estate.
Now is the perfect time to brush up on your real estate knowledge, talk to your CPA and to familiarize yourself with the details of the new tax laws and to to make any changes with your real estate investments in order to ensure a profitable and successful 2018.
