Waltham Wed 5/2: Sell Out and Clean Up With Condo Conversion; Screen Tenants with Public Eviction Histories

View Calendar
05/02/2018 5:30 PM - 05/02/2018 9:00 PM
Best Western (Food by Copper House Tavern)
Address: 380 Winter St, Waltham, MA 02451, USA

Part I:

We'll go through step-by-step how to screen tenants using public eviction histories. Did you know that you can see where an applicant was last evicted, how long the eviction lasted, and even how much they owed the landlord? Court documents are a matter of public record and we can access them from the meeting room. When used appropriately, these records can provide a wealth of insight into whether a prospective tenant will be successful in your apartment. This segment will show how to search by tenants and owners, how to read the information presented, and most importantly, how to talk to prospective renters and owners to find out whether the case does in fact reflect badly on either party. The tenant or the landlord might be to blame, or maybe it was an unfortunate breakdown in communication on both sides. This portion will be brass-tacks training for owners and managers.

Part II:

Thinking about selling? How would you like to increase the market value of your three-decker by 50%? Condo conversion can make this happen. As we all know, single families are priced based on what buyers can afford, not based on the rental income they could generate. A two- or three-unit building split into condos might instantly be worth hundreds of thousands of dollars more to you, if you're willing to sell two or three times instead of once. Whether now's the time or you're just gathering information, this is our chance to learn about a great option. This part will be presented by Victor Divine, REALTOR; David Camiel, Attorney; Jeremy Wong, Contractor, at CW Builders; and Jeremy Devaney, Loan officer at Fairway Mortgage. This team have performed many condo conversions together and they're going to tell us how the process works and what to watch out for.

Member Testimonial

I only had a vague notion of condo conversion until I stumbled into one of Victor's seminars. Suddenly it became a real possibility. I kicked myself for not figuring it out sooner. He answered a lot of questions for me that evening and afterwards. He even prepared a report including estimated market value for each unit. Victor never put the slightest pressure on me to convert. He just helped me understand my options. - Rex
