Due Diligence: New Flood Risk Tool for Individual Properties Across the U.S. Jul 28, 2020

Show notes

Millions of U.S. properties are at substantial risk of flooding, and some say that risk is growing due to climate change. But it hasn't been easy to determine a property's flood risk. Many states don't have flood history disclosure requirements, and FEMA maps don't tell the whole story. A non-profit academic research group hopes to close that information gap with a new visualization tool that calculates flood risk for 142 million properties across the U.S. www.NewsForInvestors.com

Real Estate: Malls Support E-Commerce with Vacant Store to Warehouse Conversions Jul 25, 2020

Show notes

Demand for warehouse space is skyrocketing as more and more people shop online, and that is providing another option for struggling malls. Mall owners with vacant space on their hands or retailers with an online presence are turning retail space into warehouse space for e-commerce. And there's plenty of room for this trend to fly. A new report from commercial real estate services firm JLL says we may need another 1 billion square feet of warehouse space by 2025. www.NewsForInvestors.com

Tenant Issues: Landlord Loses Case Involving an Emotional Support Pet and Tenant Allergies Jul 25, 2020

Show notes

An Iowa landlord got caught in an impossible situation. He said "yes" to an emotional support dog, and that dog ended up bothering another tenant who had allergies. The allergic tenant sued because she rented the apartment with the understanding that no pets were allowed, and the court sided with her because she was there first. The case itself has an important lesson for landlords dealing with the conflicting needs of its tenants. This has not been an easy dispute to resolve. The case worked its way to the Iowa Supreme court where Chief Justice Susan Christensen acknowledged that the landlord got himself into a "pickle" trying to satisfy the needs of both tenants. www.NewsForInvestors.com

Housing Market: Record Low Mortgage Rates Fall Below 3% Jul 17, 2020

Show notes

Mortgage rates have never been this low. Freddie Mac reported on July 16th that the average 30-year fixed-rate mortgage fell below the 3% mark to just 2.98%. That's the lowest they've been in the 50 years that rates have been tracked. Those low rates are great for buyers, but they are also the results of the current crisis. Mortgage rates tend to drop when investors pour money into the 10-year U.S. Treasury bond. When there's more demand from investors buying up Treasurys, bond prices rise as yields go down (just like in real estate, when prices rise and cash flows decline). Investors who typically buy bonds also buy mortgage-backed securities for the same reason -- for safety, even if the return is lower. www.NewsForInvestors.com
