Kansas City, MO, May 1, 2010: Mid-America Association of Real Estate Investors features one of their members in their newsletter every month. This month’s featured member is John Welchert.
Member of MAREI since 2005, John Welchert is a real estate investor in multi-unit and residential properties. He currently owns a four-plex and two duplexes in Blue Springs. Also a licensed Real Estate Broker/Salesperson with Keller Williams Realty in Independence, MO. Retired Firefighter with degrees from Central Missouri State University and Graduate Realtor Institute. Currently serving on the Board of Directors with the Central Jackson County Fire Protection District and the Missouri Innovation Park.
When asked what he thought about the current real estate market he said that he thought that “private sector job creation will be a key to a sustainable housing market recovery” once the tax credit expires. “With the continued low home prices and low mortgage rates, we find the housing affordability index historically high. Bottom line, this is the best time to buy for both home owners and investors.”
His tip for the new investor is to “Get off the couch! Anyone Can Do It . . . Not Everyone Will . . . Will You? Find out how.” He suggests you read Gary Keller’s book “The Millionaire Real Estate Investor” ISBN 0-07-144637-0.
He has a tip for landlords as well. “90% of your problems will start with the tenant. The most important thing you must do as a landlord is to verify your new tenant’s application! Do you have a checklist to identify the first qualified tenant? On your rental application do you ask for their middle initial, nicknames, email address, facebook?” These are some great suggestions to follow to check out those tenants.
You will find John at most MAREI meetings as a volunteer helping with the check in table or volunteering in other ways at MAREI.
John would also like to offer his broker services. As purchasing real estate as a homeowner or an investor can be very complicated and time consuming, you should turn to a Realtor to assist you if you don’t know what you are doing. John’s goal “is to help you negotiate the best price with the least amount of problems in the shortest amount of time.
In parting, John offered “Do you have an interest to become a Realtor, purchase a home or make an investment in your future? Experience and education makes all the difference. Call me I can help.” Contact John at http://www.johnwelchert.com/ or give him a call at 816-268-3849
