A House Is its Own Best "Comp"by Attorney William Bronchick
 
An appraisal is a certification by a licensed professional that a house is worth a certain amount based on comparable sales. It is, however, an opinion of value based on one person's analysis and experience. The actual "market value" is the amount a buyer is willing to pay and for which a seller is willing to sell under normal circumstances.
 
Investors often misunderstand the phrase market value. Here's a good way to understand this: Imagine that a home has been on the market for several months. Typically, homes in … (0 comments)

How to Get a Hard Money Loanby William Bronchick, Esq.
 
So, you just got that great bank-owned property under contract and  now you need a loan to buy, fix and flip.  You went to three hard money lenders and they turned you down.  Why?  Because you STINK at selling your deal.  That's right, you need to learn how to SELL your deal to a lender.

Setting Your Financial Goalsby William Bronchick, Esq.
I bet you wrote down your goals in January 1st this year. Is that all? Did you re-think them this month and write it down again? If you don't know what your goals are, how are you going to measure whether you've reached them. And, I would bet that if you didn't write them down at all, you are in the same financial position as you were on January 1st. Ouch!

10 Cities Where Home Prices Will Rise in 2011
 While home prices are expected to continue to fall in most metro areas, Clear Capital's Home Data Index report says a few cities are already on the rebound and showing some gains in home values. "There really is this segmentation of these markets occurring where the one-size-fits-all national level numbers to represent all numbers really isn't valid anymore," Alex Villacorta, senior statistician at Clear Capital, told MSNBC. "Overall we're seeing prices start to stabilize going into 2011, but unfortunately some of those markets will stabilize … (1 comments)

listing: The Basics of Foreclosure - 02/10/11 03:25 AM
The Basics of Foreclosureby Attorney William Bronchick
 
Foreclosure is the legal process of the mortgage holder taking the collateral for a promissory note in default. The process is slightly different from state to state, but there are basically two types of foreclosure, judicial and non-judicial. In mortgage states, judicial foreclosure is used, whereas in deed of trust states, non-judicial foreclosure is used. Most states permit both types of proceedings, but it is common practice in most states to use exclusively one method or the other.
 
Judicial Foreclosure
 
Judicial foreclosure is a lawsuit that the lender ("mortgagee") brings against … (0 comments)

You Have to SELL a House to Get it Soldby Attorney William Bronchick

The market is slowing and investors are drowning in house payments. Is there an end in sight? Probably not. But, is there something you can do about it? Certainly dropping the price until you get it sold it one way to do it. I've got a better solution - SELL the house.
 
What amazes me is that most sellers don't sell their houses. They advertise houses, they list houses, but they don't SELL houses. In a good market you can rest on your laurels, but in … (0 comments)

The Basics of Foreclosure "Short-Sales"
by Attorney William Bronchick
You will likely come across dozens of properties in foreclosure with little or no equity, that is, the seller owes at close to or more than the property is worth. In these situations, lenders are sometimes willing to accept less than the full amount due, commonly referred to a "short pay" or "short sale."
 
Negotiating a short sale with the lender is a difficult process, generally because it is a daunting task finding a bank officer who has the authority to accept a discount. You will have to call around to … (0 comments)

How to Determine Property Values in Today's MarketBy William Bronchick, Esq.

In today's market where there are so many foreclosure and bank REO sales, figuring out the real value of a property can be difficult.  The comparable sales method is the most commonly used - and still the most accurate one - to determine the value of single-family homes, condominiums and smaller rental buildings (two to four units).
 
Start by researching information about sold properties on your local government Web sites for your target area.  Many tax assessor's offices and county courthouses offer searchable online databases that allow you to … (0 comments)

When you are selling a property there are certain disclosures mandated by state and federal law.  Do you know them?  Are there other disclosures that are recommended, even if not required?
This article will address those issues.

5 Things You Should Know Before You Flip A Propertyby William Bronchick, Esq.
 
1. Money is made at the buy, not the sell of your flip. When flipping a house your money is made at the purchase not at the sell of the house. So, many times people buy a house with the intensions of making a huge profit only to find out that they could not make any money after all the renovations because the purchased price of the house was to high. When you purchase your property you need to be sure that you buy the house with … (4 comments)
