How about a lease purchase for a seller? - 01/24/12 10:41 AM
Lease purchase for sellers?

A few years ago I did a post on lease purchase for buyers.   How about a lease purchase?
I will tell you the gist of it is that in most cases I am opposed to a buyer doing a lease purchase.  But what about for home owner sellers?  Should you consider putting your home up for lease purchase.  The case for a seller to do a lease purchase is much better but with one huge caveat.......

Northern Lights tonight???


Flickr image from Larry 1732

Huge solar flair activity yesterday has caused the possibility for "Northern Lights" today!  The flair was so large that airlines are rerouting flights that would normally fly over the arctic.  It would be uncommon but not unheard of to see the lights from here in Ga.  A few months ago there was an Aurora event that was visible from parts of north Ga.  Of course the further north you are the better change you'll have of seeing the lights.

What about owner financing? - 01/03/12 09:25 AM
What About Owner Financing?
Can I buy (or sell) a home with owner financing?  The question comes up all the time. I have been involved with many owner finance transactions as a buyer, seller, and an agent.  It can be a creative solution to selling real estate. It can be a solution, but there are many pitfalls for both the buyer and the seller. Lets take a look at some of the pros and cons.   It is true that a buyer can have limited credit or possibly even bad credit and buy with owner financing. However in almost every … (3 comments)
