It has been almost three years since the start of the world wide pandemic. One good thing that has come from it is that many companies have realized that they can move a large majority of their employees to remote positions! Because of this, many individuals now have the freedom to work anywhere and live anywhere! So in turn this has been great for the rental property market!

A new survey done by Apartment Lists says that The remote worker migration in rental property that started in 2022, and is expected to continue in 2023. With 36 percent of remote workers planning to move this year!

“We found that the flexibility afforded by remote work is indeed leading to higher rates of mobility and shifting geographic preferences,” Apartment List economist Chris Salviati writes.

“Given their heightened tendency to move, remote workers have been having a big impact on housing market trends, and this is expected to continue into 2023 and beyond,”.

Compared to on-site workers, remote workers  have been considering different factors other than work when they do choose to relocate. For example cost of living in their area, city amenities and personal factor such as location of family. Since these individuals aren’t tethered to a singular location they can now choose where they want to be.

Because of this we have seen large influx of individuals moving from other more expensive states in recent years and down to the great state of Texas. DFW is still considered affordable and a great place to raise a family. Fort worth has especially seen an influx of people since 2020

“The estimated population change between April 1, 2020, and July 1, 2022, saw about 884,144 people move to the Lone Star State, which KXAN reports is more than any other state in the United States.”

With this large growth of new texans we are going to need more housing opportunities! This is why it is the perfect time for you to invest in a rental property in Fort Worth!

Why You Should Start Purchasing Investment Properties Young!

Investing in real estate has several great benefits. However, most people don’t consider investing until they’re much older with established careers. This may seem like the most financially safe and logical thing to do. So why invest young, like in your 20’s? Continue reading to find out.

There are several opportunities to make money with real estate. For example investment/ rental properties. Here are some of the top benefits you can enjoy when investing in your 20s.
• Passive Income
• Tax Benefits
• Portfolio Diversification

Passive Income
One of the top reasons people invest in real estate is to earn passive income. For example, rental properties can provide positive cash flow through monthly rent payments. However, it’s only truly passive if you hire All County Property Management to do the work for you.

Tax Benefits
Another huge benefit of owning real estate is incredible tax benefits. For instance, you can write off expenses like mortgage interest, depreciation, insurance, and more.

Portfolio Diversification
Finally, another benefit of real estate investing is diversifying your portfolio. While earning passive income with one rental investment may be difficult, it’s more feasible with multiple investments.

Why in your 20’s?
Many people assume that you need a lot of capital to start investing. This means people are waiting until they are in their 40’s and 50’s to start investing. However, that’s a common misconception.
With just a little money you can start investing in your 20’s. In fact, the sooner you start investing, the more time you have to earn money and build your investment portfolio.
One of the best reasons to start investing in your 20s is because the longer you own a property, more often than not it becomes more valuable with time. So, if you buy a property in your 20s and hang onto it for several years, it will appreciate over time. Then, you can sell it for profit.

6 Tips for Investing in Your 20s
There’s no perfect time to invest in real estate. However, if you want to get a good start on your portfolio, you’ll start as early as possible. That said, here are eight tips if you’re thinking about investing in your 20s.
1. Educate Yourself
2. Maintain a Good Credit History
3. Save Up Money
4. Explore Financing Options
5. Consider Different Strategies For Investing
6. Set Specific Goals

Find Property Management for Your Rental Investment
Investing in your 20s can set you up for a lifetime of passive income and long-term wealth. However, it will take some work to get there. That said, one of the most important aspects is also investing in a good property management company. Without property maintenance, inspections, and customer service, it’s hard to run a rental business. But no need to worry!
At All County Property Management Group, we are here for you and all your property management needs! We help not only renters find their next home but also property investors looking for an experienced property management company to take over the hard work of property management.

If you’ve been following the housing market over the past few years, you know that it can be highly unpredictable. The past three years have brought lots of changes that most investors couldn’t have predicted. Looking into 2023, many wonder where the housing market is heading.

Experts have mixed thoughts, but most predict less buyer demand, lower home prices, and higher interest rates. We have seen increased mortgage rates at the end of 2022 and a shortage of homes, especially here in DFW. For this reason, many buyers were opting to wait for a better time to buy/invest. So is 2023 going to be their year? This will all depend on the supply and demand of the housing market as a whole.

As we saw in 2022 there was a lack of available homes and increased home prices. There just aren’t enough homes for all the demand moving to our area. However, as we enter the new year, Fannie Mae predicts that home prices could fall in 2023. With the increased mortgage rates, some experts project national home prices to decline by 1.5 percent in 2023. But will this change the supply? Too soon to tell.
That said, if you’re looking to invest in real estate within the next year, let’s go over some tips to keep in mind throughout the process.

• Stay Up to Date With the Housing Market- If you’re investing in real estate, it’s crucial to have knowledge of the market to determine whether it’s a good time to buy or not. Additionally, it’s good to stay up to date with home prices, mortgage rates, and other market factors.
• Estimate the Profitability of Your Investment- Before purchasing any property, you’ll want to estimate the profitability. Determine what type of return you’re looking for and calculate the monthly cash flow.
• Stick to Your Budget- Keep looking until you find a property that fits your needs and your budget. After all, the goal is to earn a favorable return on your investment.
• Hire Rental Property Management- Investing in more rental properties means more work and responsibility. This means, you may want to look into All County Property Management Group to help keep things running smoothly.

It’s hard to predict what’ll happen with the housing market within the next year. But if this is your year to invest we are here to help with all your property management needs! Take a look at how All County can help you and your investment today!

Do you know what is considered an emergency maintenance issues? Some things that may create discomfort or inconvenience are not considered emergencies. Especially when a problem occurs after-hours, many maintenance concerns can wait until the morning. Ultimately, tenants and property owners must use their best judgment. However, we created a list of some common emergency and nonemergency maintenance orders. 

What is an Emergency?
A good rule of thumb is to remember that any maintenance issue that could potentially cause injury, serious property damage, or a threat to health and safety is considered an emergency. Some examples of these maintenance concerns include:
• Broken Water Lines
• Flooding
• Fire
• Broken Door or Lock You Cannot Secure
• Gas Leak or Broken Gas Line
• No Heat in weather below 40 degrees
• Electrical Issues
• Carbon Monoxide Detection
• Extended Power Outage

What is Not Considered a Maintenance Emergency?
When an issue does not pose an immediate threat to health, safety, or property, it is not an emergency. That said, these items below should still be reported as a maintenance request during normal business hours. Here are some examples below:

• Air Conditioning not working
• Broken Light Fixtures
• Appliance Malfunction
• No Hot Water
• Noise Complaints
• Parking Disputes
• Minor Leaks

Why Hiring a Property Management Company Will Make These Issues Easier.
Successful property owners know that the best step they can take to maximize their investment while addressing all tenant issues is to hire a property management company. How can we make these property emergencies easier on you? A few ways:

1. Reachability- We have a 24/7 emergency line. If any issue arises at one of your investment properties, the tenants are able to get ahold of us day and night.

2. Emergency Services- A huge perk of working with a property management company is we have reliable vendors that we know will get the job done in a timely manner. This saves you the hassle of trying to find someone at potentially odd hours. 

3. Open Communication- We are able to openly communicate with the renters of your investment property throughout the whole process. We keep them informed on when the maintenance team will arrive and what will need to be done to resolve the issue quickly. This could save you many sleepless nights and weekends. 

4. Documentation- We have an online portal for all our property owner, renters and even vendors. This allows for easy organization of documents pertaining to the service issue to be saved successfully under both parties and with our vendors.
