How to Be a Landlord Class Coming up

Are you one of those people that has been interested in the possibility of buying a home to use as a rental property? Real estate is the single greatest wealth producer in the country, so it would certainly be something that I would encourage you to do. Many times people don't know the ins and outs of being a landlord and owning a rental home. If you would like to learn about becoming a landlord, I will be teaching a class in conjunction with the Wells Fargo Real Estate Exposition to be held on Saturday, July 18 th. This will be at the La Plata County Fairgrounds and I will be teaching the class from 1 PM till 2 PM. The title of the class is: “So you want to be a landlord? Investing in single family homes." There will be a 20 page handout that you will find very helpful. This will cover everything from the right kind of properties to buy, special clauses you want to make sure you have in your lease to when you want leases to expire and so much more. For everyone attending the class, I will give away a free autographed copy of my book “How to make your Realtor get you the best deal…Durango Colorado edition”.

The purpose of the Wells Fargo Real Estate Expo is to get homebuyers, or potential home buyers, into the marketplace. There will be a number of Realtors exhibiting and some properties will be held “open-house” for the day so that a buyer can come in and look online at the property in the Fairgrounds, and then go right out to the house and take a look in person. In my 33 years of doing real estate I've never seen an Expo quite like this and I think that buyers will find this very helpful. In addition to the class that I will be teaching at one o'clock, there will be a first time homebuyers class taught at noon.

Our Team has two full-time dedicated buyer agents who do nothing but work with buyers and probably preview a hundred properties per month.
