charleston real estate expert: Who else wants to "pick the brains" of Charleston County Auditor Peggy Mosley? - 03/01/10 04:45 PM
When is the last time the tax assessor came to your home?
What is "assessed value" and how is my tax bill determined?
Why does a home tax assessment change?
Why is my home tax assessment different than the price I could sell my house for?
How do I appeal my home tax assessment? Is it expensive? What do I have to prove?
House property taxes in my community are too high and out of control. What can we do?
If you, your clients, or any of your family have questions about property taxes, you might want to make plans to … (2 comments)

charleston real estate expert: Hide The Women & Children ~ The Magnificent 7 Are Coming To Charleston! - 02/12/09 08:48 AM
A lot of us that were around back in the 60's, remember Steve McQueen, Yul Brynner. James Coburn, Charles Bronson, Robert Vaughn, Brad Dexter, & Horst Bucholz, teaming up to star, in what many movie fans would argue, is the greatest western of all time:
The Magnificent Seven!  
     
It is the story of seven highly skilled professionals that joined forces to help a small Mexican village. The original movie started a decade of great sequels, (The Guns of the Magnificent Seven, Return of the Magnificent Seven, etc) and helped pave the way for the "Spaghetti Westerns" that made Clint Eastwood (The Good, The Bad, … (0 comments)

charleston real estate expert: Why I hate mobile phones - 01/14/09 06:29 AM
      
My Grandmother taught me the difference between right and wrong; she also taught me to say "Yes sir/ma'm and No sir/ma'm and a lot of "life lessons".
One of the most important life lessons that she taught me was to forgive and that I should not have "Hate" in my heart.
"Grandma, if you are looking down on your favorite little grandson: I'm sorry! I have tried to remember everything that you taught me, but I really hate mobile phones" 
And to be perfectly honest, it's not the actual mobile phones - it's the people who mis-use them.
Mobile phones … (2 comments)

Charleston County Zoning and Land Development Experts Brandon White and Sally Brooks, were the guest speakers at the Charleston Real Estate investor's Association meeting last night and 71 local Charleston Investors were speechless at what we learned.

* What the fine is for "Bandit Signs" ($500)
* How you could be fined as much as $1,035 a day for a vehicle in your … (0 comments)

charleston real estate expert: "Be careful what you ask for...you may just get it" - 12/22/08 09:52 AM
Several weeks ago, during a Charleston Real Estate Investor's meeting we were trying to get feedback from our Mastermind Members as to who they would like to have as a "Guest Speaker"...
Who would they like to hear?
A motivational speaker? (someone mentioned our old friend Leon Humphrey)

That would be a pretty good way to kick-off 2009...
Someone else, suggested a "panel of experts."
And then, one of our newest members who owns a "few" properties, suggested on our message board that we have someone from our local "Code Enforcement" division visit with us.
...and I have to confess, … (2 comments)

charleston real estate expert: If you could "pick the brains" of your local tax assessor...what would you ask? - 11/19/08 08:40 AM
If you had a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to dine with your local tax assessor...what would you ask?
"How often is my property is reassesed?"
"How do I appeal my assessment?"
"I just moved here two years ago and didn't know that I had to apply for a "Homestead Exemption"..how do I get a refund on the taxes I have already paid?" 
Last night at our Charleston Real Estate Investor's Association, we were honored to have as our guest speaker, Wayne Welch, Dorchester County Tax Assessor.
Wayne gave a real life example and great explanation as to why property taxes on a $96,000 home went … (1 comments)

charleston real estate expert: Who do you know..that I should know? - 11/14/08 07:24 PM
This was probably one of the BEST questions that I have ever been asked..
(aside from my high school girlfriend, Brenda Dillon, asking me, "Have you ever been skinny-dipping?")
Think about it for a second..
(Not the skinny dipping...get your mind out of the gutter:)..the original question:
"Who do you know...that I should know?"
When my former Mentor would ask me this question years ago, I must confess, that I didn't "get it".
He really didn't realize what he was getting into when he agreed to tutor me :)
Fast forward 20 light years ahead and it would be scary to know how many key … (2 comments)
