            <title>Idaho Rental Investing</title>
            <description> <![CDATA[ 
If you're searching for investment opportunities in Idaho, now is the perfect time. As stock investments are always uncertain and the demand for rental property is going up, it's wise to keep your money tied up in rental property and reap the benefits of a steady second income. While investing in rental property at any age is a wise place to put your money, it can be especially beneficial to those approaching retirement age, as real estate is a wonderful asset to have. As long as you have tenants, you've got a steady income pouring in. Let's examine the top 7 advantages of owning rental property in Idaho:




Positive cash flow each month


Income tax advantages


Appreciation potential


Stable monthly expenses


Low risk investment


Part time commitment


Leverage




One of the first pieces of advice you'll get before taking the plunge into investing in rental properties is finding a location that will attract a large pool of potential renters. The great thing about Boise is that BSU has over 20,000 students, and all those 20,000 students generate a healthy gathering of well-qualified potential tenants. Many BSU students are married with families, and need adequate off-campus housing. There are also plenty of single students who are looking for inexpensive rooms to rent near the campus. For instance, take a five bedroom house in southeast Boise, rent out each room for $400 a month and you've generated $2,000 a month.


If you live in Nampa or Meridian, or are looking to invest in Idaho properties around the Treasure Valley, the College of Western Idaho is the state's fastest growing community college. Located just off I-84, the college has over 3,000 students and the market for rental properties is on the rise.


Buying real estate with the college student in mind is just one avenue to look down. Each neighborhood has its own demographic quirks, and its simply a matter of doing your homework. Everybody needs a place to live, and the largest component of where people look is price. Middle-of-the-road properties will appeal to the largest pool of potential renters. Take these elements into account as you search for rental property:




Single family home


Quality nearby schools


Stable, mid-priced neighborhood-low crime


Area with high demand for housing




The lifestyle and financial benefits to being a landlord and owning rental property in Idaho are many, and as long as you do your homework and choose wisely, your investment will bring in the monthly cash for as long as you want it to. Despite a changing market, home values have risen an average of 5% a year. Why not let your renters pay off your mortgage as your home value increases and appreciates over time?

Silvercreek is just one of the many hidden treasures you’ll find in Idaho. Idaho is home to a network of beautiful rivers and streams, and home values soar next to these natural beauties.


Silvercreek stream is a tributary of the Middle Fork of the Payette River located in Boise County near Crouch. As dozens of springs bubble up from an aquifer, they form a stream. It's an example of a high desert, cold-spring ecosystem, and an abundance of wildlife migrate here, including a quite impressive list of birds. It's also a world-renowned fly fishing reserve. Of course, Idaho is one of the greatest places in the world to fly fish, and any real estate in the area comes packed with value, especially to those vacationing or looking to buy a second home in an area where the outdoor abundance of Idaho is just a hike away.

            <title>What Does Boise Idaho Have to Offer?</title>
            <description> <![CDATA[ 
When our family decided to move to the Boise area many years ago, we made a list of the "pros" and "cons" for moving to the Treasure Valley as opposed to other places in the country. The list was very lopsided in favor of the "pros." Now, over 15 years later, I understand why that was a smart choice. When it comes to Boise Idaho, there's no place like home. So make Boise your home. Call (208) 571-7145 to speak with an agent and to get started on your Boise homes search.


Top ten reasons to purchase your next home in Boise Idaho: 


10. Recreation areas are almost endless. Lakes, reservoirs, and rivers provide ample opportunities for fishing, boating, swimming, and waterskiing. In the winter months, the ski resorts are within one hour from Boise, and sledding is within minutes in the Boise foothills. Hunting is popular among Boise Idaho residents in the fall, and camping is also a short trip into the mountains.


9. Cost of living. Idaho's cost of living is the second lowest of the 11 western states and 12th lowest in the entire United States. These figures are based on utilities, health care, transportation, groceries, and housing costs.


8. Access to educational resources and institutions of higher learning. BSU, NNU, and other university extension sites are all within the Treasure Valley, and if not in Boise Idaho itself, within a short distance. Almost every city in Idaho with a population over 20,000 has a college or university within its limits.


7. Positive population growth means economic growth and a boost in property value. Since 2000, Boise has grown almost 70 percent in the last 20 years, as compared to the United States average at only 20 percent.


6. Highway traffic is a breeze compared to most capital cities and their surrounding areas. With only 2 major highways—Interstate 184 and Interstate 84—to maneuver, it doesn't take long to figure out which route to take.


5. Weather. Boise Idaho is considered to be in the "banana belt," where 4 distinct seasons can be anticipated and enjoyed. Mild winters and warm summers add to the appeal of the Treasure Valley.


4. Home prices and value. Housing costs are moderate and affordable, with all kinds of variety in the surrounding communities. The median home value is $234,904 in Boise Idaho.


3. The opportunity to own acreage is an added bonus. While homes are being built almost on top of one another in neighboring states, Boise Idaho offers room to grow.


2. Home styles are diverse. The choice is yours: from modest cottages to executive estates, if you can dream it, you can build or buy it. Home styles are almost as diverse as the people who arrive to live in Boise!


1. Boise Idaho is a fantastic place to raise a family. Low crime rates, great schools, and places to make memories all topped my list of essentials. It's a great place to call home!

To keep your investment property in Idaho a well-oiled machine that will keep giving you positive cash flow every month, there's a number of simple things you can do.


No. 1


The best landlord, whether you're managing several properties or just one residential property, is the one who sets clear expectations from day one. Tell your tenant exactly what you expect of him/her, even over the tiny things like changing their own lightbulbs.


No. 2


 Whether you intend on being the landlord who stays out of the way as much as possible, or takes a more hands-on approach, it's important you maintain the interaction between you and the tenants on a business level. Of course, you do want to be friendly, but you don't want to be too friendly, as your tenant may begin to believe you won't mind if the rent comes in late.


No. 3


 Quite simply, being a good and successful landlord is about good management. To succeed, you need to be able to manage the property and personalities.


No. 4


Be choosy when it comes to tenants. Screen them well. One handy tip is to pay attention to how well the prospective tenant maintains their car. It can be a good indicator of how well, or unwell they'll maintain your property.


No. 5


Stay in regular contact with your tenants. Return calls the same day.


No. 6


Pull a credit check on all prospective renters. Know what you're getting yourself into.


No. 7


Become familiar with your rights and responsibilities under Idaho's law as well as landlord-tenant laws.


No. 8


Consider making your own customized rental application. That way, you can ask questions that are the most important to you. Write out a well organized contract that includes all the important things, big and small.

            <title>Nampa May Just Be Perfect For You</title>
            <description> <![CDATA[ 
Just a short commute into the capital city, Nampa, the largest city in Canyon County, is a great choice for anyone looking to save money on their next home purchase without sacrificing style or size. If you need more information on Nampa homes, feel free to call (208) 571-7145 to speak to an agent and learn more.


Buying a home in Nampa offers more square footage for the dollar. Many homebuyers have found that the short 30-minute-or-less commute into Boise is worth the savings on their new residence, and if your home is close to the freeway, the travel-time is even shorter! Recently, commercial industry has increased rapidly in Nampa, bringing with it some great places for shopping, dining, and entertainment. Because of this, it is less likely that you will have the need to travel much further than your own neighborhood to find what you are looking for.

With interest rates low, it is a great time to consider purchasing a townhouse, duplex, or other investment property. Many of these properties can be found in south Nampa, around the Northwest Nazarene University Campus (NNU).


Why rent, when you can afford to live in Nampa for less than your monthly rent payment? If you are a first-time homebuyer, you can find just what you are looking for in one of the many new residential communities throughout the city. Smaller families may prefer an established home with mature landscaping that is closer to the city's commercial amenities, which also offers low monthly mortgage payments.

Beautiful custom homes overlook Lake Lowell, where there are year-round opportunities for recreation; including bass fishing, boating and waterskiing, and hunting. Or maybe a home near the new Hunter's Point Golf Course suits your lifestyle better. A home near this golf course is another popular Nampa destination for those pursuing the opportunity to be away from town without sacrificing home size, style, or serenity, and many residential builders are eager to build a dream home for you!

            <title>Why to Consider Living in a Smaller House</title>
            <description> <![CDATA[ 
If you're searching for a home in Idaho, there's plenty of great reasons why going for the small house is advantageous. Even if you're working on buying your second or third home, it's not necessarily better to go bigger, even though moving up in size and luxury is usually the goal homebuyers in Idaho aim for. It can more than just free you financially, but you'll find plenty of other 'freeing' aspects to moving into a home with less square feet.


The most exciting aspect of living in a small home is the sudden freedom you'll find in your bank account. Household bills tend to rise the higher your ceilings, the farther apart your walls, and the more rooms you have. It takes a lot more energy to heat and cool large homes, and many more dollar bills out of your pocket.


If you're a first time homebuyer, you'll find yourself faced with a lot less space to fill. Think less furniture to buy, less flooring, fewer gallons of paint, and so on. If you're one of those who tend to buy stuff, you may find yourself finally able to say no. If you don't have the space for it, you won't buy it. At least, you really shouldn't. With fewer possessions, that's a lot less to maintain and clean. A lot less to keep track of. Not as many opportunities to lose things. That's a major plus!


With all the money you otherwise would have spent on your utility bill and house furnishings, you can dump it into a savings account and watch it grow. Wouldn't it be great to see that money add up and put it towards next year's trip to France, or that new car you've had your eye on?


One of the very best advantages is all the free time you now have! Fewer floors to vacuum, a smaller kitchen to sweep &amp; mop, less counter space to de-clutter &amp; wipe up. Finding the time to clean can be an impossible task, and in between your full time job, time at the gym, night classes and your children, squeezing in upkeep and cleaning can be a major hassle. Plenty of homebuyers choose smaller Idaho homes for this reason alone.


Have you always struggled with clutter? With mess? Well, with the strict confines of a smaller home, you'll be forced to get rid of that clutter &amp; hoarding problem. Our habits of accumulating 'stuff' tends to expand to fit our space. This is where that aforementioned 'freeing' aspect comes into play. You may actually find yourself with more space. During your declutter frenzy and weekend yard sale, you'll find yourself breathing in some fresh air.


You'll enjoy the ability to live a much more simple life. Instead of balking at a small home, think of the positive ways it will challenge you. It encourages you to keep only the things you need and to be more organized.


In conclusion, you may find it encouraging to know that smaller Boise homes may be easier to sell than the mammoth ones. If you buy a small, energy efficient home, you'll be sitting on a wise investment, as these types of homes aren't as easy to find. People are catching on to how wonderful, comfortable, cozy and inexpensive living in a small home is.

Perhaps the best part to buying a vacation home in Idaho is that vacation rental demand has gone up, and you can make a nice profit if you only plan on using your vacation home a few months out of the year. You can rent it out to Idaho vacationers looking for a great place to stay with their family. Tourism is a huge part of Idaho's economy, and oftentimes vacation rentals are less expensive than hotel rooms for longer visits, two ingredients to easily rent out your property.


Whether you're looking for a cabin by the water, a mountain retreat, or an investment condo, we've got the resources and expertise to help you find the perfect second Idaho home for you.
