The Inspiring Investment

Making traction. In our office, we have three framed maps, mounted on pushpin boards: one for Raleigh, one for Durham, and one for Cary. Each wooden pushpin represents a door - or several doors. It's a small way to represent each step we make towards our target of 1000 doors by 2030. A door may be one individual flip, a small development project producing 13 doors or a large project to create 90. So far, we are on track to achieve or surpass this goal!

Tii's mission is to provide best in class real estate offerings, establish marketplace authority, and inspire others through ambition and community care.

Tii & AG Homes ( AG Homes ) had a team-building event a few days ago at the Durham Bulls Baseball Club ballpark! Rain storms threatened our plans, but we made the most of it and played a little game - a scavenger hunt!

We divided into groups and each group had to get a picture or video doing certain things and the first to finish received a cash prize!

Here are just *some* of the things we had to document:
"Get the autograph of a police officer or security guard"
"Take a picture with the mascot"
"Make the shape of a letter"
"Give a stranger an air high-five"
😂 😂 😂 ... Don't you wanna join our team? 😏 (link in bio to our careers page)

*Shout out to our friend for the game idea 😬

At Tii, we are all for real estate investing, but we feel it's extremely important to have strong personal finances before diving in to invest passively - whether it's stocks, a business, or real estate. (That's one reason why it's a part of our practice to let our lenders know that any funds they want to invest in a particular project should not be depended on for living expenses or their emergency fund.) *this is not financial advice, only our personal, opinion.

Swipe to learn a little bit about personal finance and if you'd like to learn more, here are some of our favorite financial literacy resources:

Over the past year, our team has been working out the kinks on a handful of house plans that meet the requirements of the “small lot option” in Durham.
In order to increase density (and therefore tax $$) some city’s UDO allow for smaller homes (

It's important to keep in mind that even custom wooden garage doors are very rarely ALL wood since most come with insulation.

New garage doors today not only faithfully reflect period styles, but are also cutting-edge in terms of longevity and durability, insulation value, and even wind resistance in hurricane-prone areas.

Garage door manufacturers make certain that your door opens with the ease of modern technology, even if it appears to swing out.

This is a fantastic opportunity if you own an older home and want to renovate while maintaining the home's original style.

If you are buying a home from a contracted community, such as a single-family home, you will most likely need to become a member of a homeowners association (HOA).

The rules of the HOA community known as the Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (CC&Rs) will then apply to you.

CC&Rs typically include restrictions and requirements on:
- Property maintenance
- The decorating of your home
- Household pets
- Vehicle parking
- And the storage of garbage cans/other unsightly items

If you violate the CC&Rs the penalties you face could be:
- Paying a fine
- Suspended from using the common facilities
- The HOA visiting your property, to fix the issue, and bill you for it
- Or a lawsuit filed against you by the HOA

Smart buys are crucial in an elevated housing market.

Fifty-three percent of real estate investors say they’ve lost money on projects, according to the Q1 2022 Real Estate Investor Survey released by Kiavi, a provider of financing to real estate investors.

They cite hidden issues with properties that they weren’t aware of when they made their purchase as the main reason for losing money.

Here's what to look out for if you're thinking of purchasing an investment property.

A property listed as contingent means the seller has accepted an offer, but they’ve chosen to keep the listing active in case certain contingencies aren’t met by the prospective buyer.

If a property is pending, the provisions on a contingent property were successfully met and the sale is being processed.

There are several common contingencies that many home buyers include with their offers to purchase. They might include a home inspection contingency, financing contingency, or appraisal contingency, among others.

Pending status indicates that the seller and their agent are confident the sale has passed its major hurdles and is on its way to closing.

Gen Z is the first generation to have grown up with smartphones and social media as part of daily life, and they seek financial information in online videos; YouTube being their top source for consuming financial information.

Young investors are particularly interested in emerging financial technology, with about a quarter of Gen Z investors owning both cryptocurrencies and stocks, and one in ten owning NFTs.

While they may have significant involvement in this market, Gen Z investors admit that cryptocurrency is at the bottom of the list of their financial knowledge.

The second biggest concern, and the one skill they would like to learn, is paying taxes, followed by saving, borrowing, and managing debt.

Gen Z is far ahead of previous generations in terms of their financial literacy and maybe moving too quickly and too much on their own.

This abundance and overstimulation of information can lead them to a false sense of security.

So if you identify as a being part of this Gen Z, then it would be best to slow down, figure out where you are, and seek assistance in creating a plan for where you want to go.

Simply put, a property manager handles the administrative aspect of a property.

These individuals ensure the smooth running of the property. A property manager can work independently or work for a property management company.

Property managers are also usually referred to as middlemen.

They serve as the bridge between the property owner and the tenants.

Any information (including payment, complaint, inquiry, etc.) the tenants want to send to the property owner passes through the property manager and vice versa.

While there may be a low barrier to starting a property management company, it’s still essential to understand (and sometimes experience) the duties of a property manager.

Here are some of the main duties of a property manager.
