    Key Takeaways

    • Separate Emotion from Business: Making major financial moves based purely on sentimental attachment often leads to expensive real estate mistakes .

    • Explore Creative Options: Sibling disagreements can sometimes be resolved through alternative paths, such as one sibling buying out the other to retain the home as a personal rental asset .

    • Consult Professionals First: Reach out to real estate experts, financial planners, CPAs, and probate professionals before making any renovations or structural decisions .

    • Leverage Property Management: Hiring a professional management team can transform an overwhelming "accidental landlord" situation into a stress-free, passive cash-flow vehicle .

    • Clean Slates Prevent Conflict: If multiple parties remain completely split on whether to lease or list, selling the asset completely is often the cleanest way to eliminate ongoing friction and future shared responsibility .

    • Existing Leases Must Be Honored: If a property has tenants when a parent passes away, the beneficiaries must legally honor the existing lease or execute a buyout before listing the home for traditional buyers .

    • The Power of Estate Planning: Homeowners can spare their children significant emotional and financial stress by explicitly detailing the property's intended future path in a legally binding will .

      LEGAL

      Texas law requires all real estate licensees to provide the following Texas Real Estate Commission Information About Brokerage Service and Texas Real Estate Commission Consumer Protection Notice.

  • The house needs $50,000 in repairs. Would you sell it anyway?

    The house needs $50,000 in repairs. Would you sell it anyway?
    2026/07/08
    The inspection report just came back, and it looks like a mile-long CVS receipt. Now what? Do you drop $50,000 on repairs, sell it completely as-is, or finally call that investor who has been sending you postcards for the last five years? In this heavy-hitting episode of Lease it or List it, hosts Savannah Dunn and Glynn Crutsinger break down the exact math of handling a severely outdated or inherited property . They look at a real-life viewer scenario in Plano: a paid-off home that needs a new roof, foundation work, a 30-year-old HVAC replacement, and a total 1990s kitchen remodel . Before you get overwhelmed during an already emotional time, like navigating probate, funerals, or moving parents into assisted living, discover why the hosts urge families to slow down, look at creative ways to defer costs, and avoid the trap of leaving tens of thousands of dollars on the table by selling off-market to cold-calling investors . Tune in to learn which high-stakes repairs are non-negotiable for resale, what you can safely skip, and how a rental strategy can fund long-term elder care without draining your 401(k) . Contact: Savannah: https://www.dunnrealtygrouptx.com/ Glynn: https://www.rpmonesource.com/ Key Takeaways Don't Flee to Postcard Investors: Selling off-market straight to cash investors who cold-call or text is almost never a winning strategy for the homeowner . These investors budget everything at retail repair prices while demanding a massive 20% cut for themselves, causing impatient owners to lose up to three times more money than they would by simply paying a standard professional real estate commission . The Cold Math of "As-Is" vs. Repairing: When evaluating an inherited, paid-off home valued at $350,000 as-is versus $475,000 repaired, a $50,000 structural investment is a no-brainer . Even after accounting for transaction fees, taking the time to repair yields an extra $75,000 in net equity that would otherwise be left on the table . The Non-Negotiable Capital Expenditures: If you are listing a home for retail resale, foundation work, old plumbing (especially clay or cast-iron yard sewer lines that cost $10,000–$15,000 to replace), and safety-related electrical issues must be fixed . Furthermore, roofs must be replaced proactively because a bad roof cannot be insured by incoming retail buyers . Buyers Triple the Cost of Repair Concessions: Trying to pass a faulty HVAC unit or roof onto the next buyer via closing concessions is a major financial mistake . In real estate transactions, typical retail buyers will mentally triple the actual cost of a repair, meaning a seller is much better off hiring their own trusted contractor to fix it correctly for less money before listing . The "Vertigo" Foundation Rule for Rentals: If your goal is to transition an outdated home into a rental property, you can drastically minimize your upfront costs . You do not need to fix foundation differentials unless they are severe enough to cause "elevator vertigo" when walking across the room, nor do you need to touch cosmetic details like foggy broken-window seals . Strategic "Paid at Close" Repair Funding: Landlords who do not have $50,000 in cash on hand to prep an inherited home do not need to settle for an investor's lowball bid . Specialized real estate brokerages can partner with vendors to coordinate essential structural repairs that get completely funded and paid directly out of the closing proceeds at settlement . Funding Assisted Living with Rental Revenue: When managing aging parents moving into assisted living, families frequently panic and rush to liquidate the family home for a quick lump sum. By setting up the property as a managed business, you can comfortably secure $2,500 to $3,000 in monthly rental income. When combined with Social Security, this can fully cover your monthly senior facility fees, helping you avoid early withdrawals from your 401(k) accounts. It's a smart way to ensure financial stability and peace of mind.

  • Our rental property isn't making money. Why are we keeping it?

    Our rental property isn't making money. Why are we keeping it?
    2026/07/01
    My rental property barely breaks even, and then the water heater dies. Am I building wealth, or did I just buy myself another job?" If you've ever felt like you're constantly writing checks for your real estate investment rather than cashing them, you are not alone . In this episode of Lease It or List It, hosts Savannah Dunn and Glynn Crutsinger tackle a massive dilemma facing accidental landlords and seasoned investors alike: what do you do when your rental isn't generating monthly cash flow? They break down why viewing your property only through the lens of monthly cash flow is a $20,000-foot-view mistake . By evaluating the actual data—including school districts, tax depreciation, and equity daisy-chaining—they reveal why a short-term "bump in the road" shouldn't cause you to sacrifice a long-term appreciating asset . Tune in to discover the financial calculators you should be using and how to evaluate if your money is truly working hard enough for you. Contact: Savannah: https://www.dunnrealtygrouptx.com/ Glynn: https://www.rpmonesource.com/ Key Takeaways The Four Pillars of Real Estate Wealth: Remember, cash flow is just one way to gauge an investment's success. Truly rich real estate wealth considers four key pillars each year: cash flow, tax depreciation write-offs, historical appreciation, and the principal equity growth paid down by tenants. • Negative Cash Flow Isn't Automatically Bad: Even if a property has a small monthly deficit, it can still offer a strong ROI when you include tax benefits and equity growth—something a CPA can help clarify. • The ROI Snowball of Tenant Retention: The biggest investments—like dealing with vacancies, marketing, and leasing fees—happen mostly in the first year. By choosing tenants carefully from the start, you can enjoy an 80% to 90% renewal rate, helping your returns grow steadily from year two onwards. • Anticipate Maintenance and Insurance Deductibles: It's smart to prepare for sudden repair costs, especially for common issues like plumbing or HVAC problems. Setting aside money for insurance deductibles is also wise, especially in regions prone to hailstorms or severe weather. • Leverage Equity Without Selling: If you own a property with lots of equity, you don't have to sell it to access that cash. Savvy investors often borrow against the equity in their existing properties to fund new rental opportunities. • Never Fund a Depreciating Asset with an Appreciating One: Instead of selling an appreciating property just to pay off personal debts, it's better to keep the property growing in value and use that revenue to clear what you owe. • Watch Local Micro-Market Shifts: Local demand can change quickly—based on infrastructure and schools. While some development projects may seem to move away from city centers, many suburban areas like Plano, Texas, are booming because tenants are eager to rent just to access top-tier schools.
